  6. It’s 9 March in Japan. Happy Birthday Testament!!! I drew Bridget Guilty Gear kissing them in the cheek. She made them a cake and a piñata. They are cute and gay~. #nonbinary #enby #trans #transgender #nb #guiltygear #ggst #art #pixelart #artistsonbsky #yuri

  7. when I was a kid I remember there was this "Etiquette for Ladies" TV show that would come on after The Price is Right when I was at my nanny's (my mom's stepmom) house

    my weird little autistic trans girl brain treated that like gospel

    I tried so hard to be a perfect little lady

    and I couldn't figure out why it didn't make my mom happy

    she's always very lady-like, I thought she'd like it

    so I assumed I was just doing it wrong, or not good enough

    I tried even harder, and eventually that "be lady-like" became one of the self-critical voices in my head

    I still feel gross when I do something "unladylike" and it's weird

  12. Nonbinary... Appeals to me as a identity I'm considering suddenly in the past few months... I've also been experimenting with it/its pronouns although no one actually uses them on me. Even with all my hints that I've secretly assigned the pronouns to myself and am experimenting.

    Was also considering shortening my name and pronouns to just "M" something appealing about just simplifying. Met someone who just used their name as pronouns a long time ago.

    I'm doomed!!! #nonbinary #enby #transgender

  13. ‘What does “family” mean, and whose family experiences get recognised?

    A new UCL study is inviting non-binary adults in the UK to share their experiences of family life, in research that aims to address a significant gap in evidence.’

    The survey takes around 30 minutes to complete and is open to non-binary people, aged 18+ living in the UK.

  15. Not to criticisixe #CixinLiu and his #threebodyproblem book, but I must say that if I were #writing a #fanfic, I would have written a fifth #wallgazer, made them an #ENBY or #Transwoman, and had them fire up a vast army of hackers and saboteurs to fuck with the Sofons.

    It wouldn't solve the problem or defeat the #Trisolarans, but it would have given them 400 years of frustration, misery, and heartburn, and messed with their technology enough to make the as-written ending a relief to them

  17. So, I guess an #introduction is due.

    I am still figuring out my gender, I'm pretty sure I'm either​ #transfem, or #enby. On the internet, I have always gone by They/Them pronouns.

    I've been on and off on Mastodon a few times, and has had the chance to meet a lot of wonderful people here in the early days.

    I'm a software engineer, and working full-time on IndieWemblate* because I have nothing better to do :neorat_creepysmile:

    Interests are #Anime, #Accessibility, #Privacy, and #Libre projects.

    *IndieWemblate is a rust-based project aiming to be fully IndieWeb compatible and self-hostable: codeberg.org/Ownet/indie-wembl you will probably see me posting its updates here once in a while.

  18. #Introduction post! I'm a single, white, #bisexual / #pansexual #enby space woman in their mid 40s. I'm a huge #StarTrek nerd and I run @HabitatRing as an outlet for my neurodiversity plus reviews and some live tooting of movies, etc.

    I read and #write #erotica , #romance , #EroticRomance, and SF / Fantasy. You can check out some of my work on Chanting Lure Tales. I selectively participate in writers prompts.

    Please don't engage in reply guy behavior in my mentions.

    DMs are open and generally welcome but may not all receive replies.

  19. Um ... #women, #ENBY and #LGBTQia folks, #BIPoC people, I have a question

    Do you see me as a friend, ally, ...?

  20. My teacher has a trans son so she and I talked a good deal today about how awful JK Rowling is and how nobody should engage with her work, & she talked about how she needs to figure out how to cover up an old HP tattoo she has

    I of course said that as an enby I consider myself part of the broad trans community but even if it didn't effect me I'd still stand up for trans people because I have basic empathy.

  21. ¡Buenas noticias! Ayer, el Estado de México aprobó el reconocimiento de la identidad no binaria. Las personas no binarias podrán solicitar la categoría "otro" en la casilla género, sin necesidad de informe médico ni ningún otro requisito. Es ya la quinta entidad mexicana que reconoce esta posibilidad (CDMX lo aprobó el año pasado). 🎉 fabricadeperiodismo.com/notici

  22. Not hiding anything for today(CW). In case you need: eye contact, bare feet

    New dress in da house! 👗✨
    And what a day to show up fully ... today is Trans day of visibility, and honey, visibility is kind of my thing. 💜🤍💛🖤

    So ... you might remember the quite short dress i wore at the office the other day. Shorter, a little more "weekend energy". This one is its slightly more office-compatible sibling ... still flowy, still navy, still very much me ... but hitting a little lower on the thigh 😄(and still short though .. hehe)

    Femby vibes are strong today ... and honestly every day. This is not a phase, this is not a costume, this is just Tuesday. Except today it's also Trans day of visibility. So it's a Tuesday with extra steps. 💜
    And can we talk for a second about what two years of estrogen and apparently very cooperative genetics are doing under this dress? Because the silhouette is not subtle and I am not sorry. BOOBIES FTW. 🎉🎉 This is what joy looks like :o)

    Never hiding. Not the boobies. Not the thick thighs ... which are front and center and absolutely saving lives as they always do. Not the brief panel of my tights playing peek-a-boo under the hem. Not the footless 120 DEN knee stockings doing their thing on the lower leg while my bare feet live their best life on the office carpet. Not any of it. Never. 👣

    Visibility isn't just for today ... but today we celebrate it a little louder. 📣

    And speaking of Snag Tights ... 30 DEN, nude, barely there, and yet very much there as the pinch-proof photo demonstrates. If you know, you know. If you don't know yet ... go find out. Snag is not a brand, Snag is a religion. No competition. Echt nicht. 🙏

    Proud. Loud. Barefoot. Layered in nylon. Visible. Showing up exactly as I am.
    That's the vibe. That's always the vibe. 🖤👣

  23. CW: Venting about the NHS England gatekeeping gender-affirming surgeries; gender dysphoria (genital dysphoria, facial dysphoria, and voice dysphoria); lack of non-binary options

    Hey folks :TransHeart: :NonBinaryHeart:

    This isn't any of the posts we've been trying to write for ages, but haven't had sufficient spoons, executive function, emotional regulation, or uninterrupted time (particularly from unexpected daily life events) to write 😅🥺 :MentalHealthFlagHeart:

    No: instead, this is just something adjacent to some of these things, which has been increasingly on our mind recently... particularly as it feels like we've been seening significantly more posts by other trans+ people we follow on fedi, as well as other places, discussing topics like:

    • Their overall worsening feelings of gender dysphoria, or feeling like they're making no progress towards their own transition goals.
    • Increasingly yearning for a particular gender-affirming surgery, especially if it either is -- or feels like it is -- impossibly far away or actually impossible.

    :PleadingFace: :Sighing_Face:

    In light of our own issues with the NHS, we did get to the point where we did a post asking folks to remember to use CWs for such posts, as even with lots of filters, we couldn't keep up 🥺😔 (In a later post, we advised that we had changed our filters back from hide completely to hide with a warning, but we're still having to filter out a lot.)

    Anyway, we're getting off track again. (Today has been another of those kinds of days.)

    We've been thinking a lot recently about how it would almost be easier for us if we were a binary trans+ woman with stereotypical transition goals that align with the binary expectation of the NHS and other medical systems 😔

    If we had had noticeable, intense genital dysphoria in the way that they expect all trans+ folks to have, then maybe we'd've been willing to compromise over surgeon and techniques in order to get some form of genital reconfiguration surgery (GRS), and we'd've been able to progress there.

    However, because we don't feel that way, could not mask our real feelings, and would not be comfortable with the limited options offered, we're now stuck in a limbo where we may basically get nothing through the NHS whatsoever.

    Just to clarify, we're acutely aware just how completely cursed this line of thinking is, and how much dysphoria -- especially around genitalia -- can be debilitating for many 🥺😔

    It isn't a matter of anybody having it easier or worse: everybody should be able to get their healthcare needs met. However, unless you "play the game" and "play along", you won't get anything.

    But yeah... this is the dumb situation we're in.

    Our dysphoria doesn't match the NHS's binary model, so we're now just waiting to hear back about how we go about complaining about pretty much everything and trying to get somewhere.

    We won't though, sadly. It'd take a secular miracle for somebody to actually show a single iota of care for us as an actual person / entity.

    We feel bad for the complaint handler, as given the way she's replied, we think she actually still cares 🥺😔

    That job will break her if she doesn't leave it.

    We've already had our request for voice feminisation surgery (VFS) declined, and we haven't even tried to get them to hear us out over facial feminisation surgery (FFS), as they'd laugh us out the door.

    If you want to know how cruel the NHS system is, just read part of the below in relation to the first rejected VFS individual funding request (IFR):

    The following criteria were used when considering whether there were exceptional clinical circumstances relating to your patient to support the IFR: 

    * Are there any clinical features of the patient’s case which make them significantly different to the general population of patients with the condition in question at the same stage of progression of the condition?

    AND

    * Would the patient be likely to gain significantly more clinical benefit from the requested intervention than might be normally expected for the general population of patients with the condition at the same stage of the progression of the condition?

    Your application was triaged by the Funding Team, and it was agreed that the information provided to support this IFR does not demonstrate clinical exceptionality.

    Regrettably, we cannot approve your funding request as there is no evidence to show this patient is likely to gain significantly more clinical benefit from Glottoplasty surgery than might be normally expected for the general population of patients with the condition or circumstance i.e. gender dysphoria and neurodiversity. Unfortunately, we are not able to take purely psychological issues into consideration.

    However, if there is any further information you have to demonstrate exceptionality, we would be happy to reconsider this request.

    Yeah...

    We've been thinking a lot recently about how it would almost be easier for us if we were a binary trans+ woman with stereotypical transition goals that align with the binary expectation of the NHS and other medical systems 😔

    If we had had noticeable, intense genital dysphoria in the way that they expect all trans+ folks to have, then maybe we'd've been willing to compromise over surgeon and techniques in order to get some form of genital reconfiguration surgery (GRS), and we'd've been able to progress there.

    However, because we don't feel that way, could not mask our real feelings, and would not be comfortable with the limited options offered, we're now stuck in a limbo where we may basically get nothing through the NHS whatsoever.

    Just to clarify, we're acutely aware just how completely cursed this line of thinking is, and how much dysphoria -- especially around genitalia -- can be debilitating for many 🥺😔

    It isn't a matter of anybody having it easier or worse: everybody should be able to get their healthcare needs met. However, unless you "play the game" and "play along", you won't get anything.

    But yeah... this is the dumb situation we're in.

    Our dysphoria doesn't match the NHS's binary model, so we're now just waiting to hear back about how we go about complaining about pretty much everything and trying to get somewhere.

    We won't though, sadly. It'd take a secular miracle for somebody to actually show a single iota of care for us as an actual person / entity.

    We feel bad for the complaint handler, as given the way she's replied, we think she actually still cares 🥺😔

    That job will break her if she doesn't leave it.

    We've already had our request for voice feminisation surgery (VFS) declined, and we haven't even tried to get them to hear us out over facial feminisation surgery (FFS), as they'd laugh us out the door.

    If you want to know how cruel the NHS system is, just read part of the below in relation to the first rejected VFS individual funding request (IFR):

    The following criteria were used when considering whether there were exceptional clinical circumstances relating to your patient to support the IFR: 

    * Are there any clinical features of the patient’s case which make them significantly different to the general population of patients with the condition in question at the same stage of progression of the condition?

    AND

    * Would the patient be likely to gain significantly more clinical benefit from the requested intervention than might be normally expected for the general population of patients with the condition at the same stage of the progression of the condition?

    Your application was triaged by the Funding Team, and it was agreed that the information provided to support this IFR does not demonstrate clinical exceptionality.

    Regrettably, we cannot approve your funding request as there is no evidence to show this patient is likely to gain significantly more clinical benefit from Glottoplasty surgery than might be normally expected for the general population of patients with the condition or circumstance i.e. gender dysphoria and neurodiversity. Unfortunately, we are not able to take purely psychological issues into consideration.

    However, if there is any further information you have to demonstrate exceptionality, we would be happy to reconsider this request.

    Yeah...

    Feetuary Day 5 👣

    Business trip.
    Hotel room. Door closed.

    The office outfit did its job all day…
    now the skirt is gone,
    lights are low,
    time finally slows down.

    Bare feet exactly where they belong.
    Same legs, same body…
    just the workday left behind.

    After work noir.
    Quiet. Private. Unapologetic. 🖤😏
