    I tip the trans baristas at my local coffee shop extra, does that count?

    For $5 a month – just pennies a day...

    I just need my wife and family to stop being transphobic, that would end my problem right now and I would come out and transition. I've got everything else.

    How worthwhile is it to cling to their approval when it directly interferes with your happiness? I dunno, I won't say what's the right or wrong move, but it's always sad to hear about the people who don't feel like they're allowed to be themselves because of others. You're 1,000% allowed to embrace it, but only you can really decide if it's worth the costs.

    Ha jokes on you I don't know any trans women IRL and I'm monetarily broke. But I do have a wealth of other things. For example Redneck insanity/ depression, Historia obscura I will ramble about chalcolithic steppe peoples, and lore namely Fallout, Elder Scolls, Warhammer 40k, Warhammer fantasy, and old Star Wars.

    You know now that you mention it, the internet makes me believe that there's a vastly larger amount of trans women than men, but I too only know trans men directly. I do wonder what the proportion is, if it matches whatever the ratio of men to women is. I also wonder what percentages are when you consider enby people and what those numbers do to the overall percentages.

    Obviously the numbers are skewed by people who can't be open about for one reason or another, but still curious either way.

    This is a very common anecdotal phenomenon. It might have something to do with transfems going mostly stealth in public so you never know they're there, preferring to socialize online more than transmascs, transmascs being more likely to get involved with in-person activities, ect. Regardless, you aren't the only one who's noticed this

  • It's especially weird for me since ive known two seperate trans men but have yet to meet a trans woman that I'm aware of, but then again I'm an oblivious redneck to the point where I'm pretty sure the only reason I haven't died to environmental hazards is because I'm durable and have good enough instincts to compensate. Also in my experience Trans men tend to be quite extroverted, so maybe there's something psychological perhaps down to how culture tends to be more accepting of masculinity within afab versus feminity within amab resulting in trans women being more introverted and insular overall.

    What exactly is an elder scroll? Who made them in the lore?

    Apparently they are not made, but just "are". And their contents are not definite either, but rather they write themselves as needed when being observed? Basically a physical manifestation of fate, I guess. I've heard people argue that they are blueprints for existence that only manifest as scrolls so that physical beings can perceive them.

    In other words, spacetime macguffin.

    I would prefer estrogen or plushies or women clothing or bread

    I was told she'd only accept 1$ bills in the strap of her underwear but all I have is loonies....

    it's not my herb garden it's my spice garden. i grow peppers and herbs and apparently subshrubs (i tried to say that twice fast and pulled a brain muscle just a warning) in it.

    my herb garden has Herbie (short for Herbert), her twin sister Reginald, and their nieces Churro and Estelle (my wife insisted on naming one you'll never guess which).it was Reginald

    Surely I'm reading this wrong, because this sounds bizarrely misogynistic and transphobic to me

    I think it's just different types of humour not hitting is all. Money under the strap part was her silly counter offer to me offering a $40 electronic transfer and the loonies ($1 coins) was my response because there's no way I'd use American money.

    The loonies I get but why the strap thing, did you actually talk to her? There's this bad stereotype that all trans women are sex workers so that's why it feels weird

    I did talk to her yes. That was the response I got after sending her this post.

    I found it funny because of how absurd it was so I posted the comment.

    I definitely didn't mean to further a bad stereotype, my apologies!

    Tbh I found it funny because while it is a harmful stereotype, it's also a career we've often been pushed into, and it's still a bold stance in many places for someone who'd admit to paying a cis stripper to admit to paying a trans one.
