Not man or woman. Just trans!

I don't think I should be trusted with raising a dog, much less a child. Like, if my brother had a child and I was closely involved with their family, that could be cool, but no interest in the responsibility myself. Also aro, so there's no starting a family with a SO.

My siblings and I were conceived via IVF (and almost all of my half-siblings were too) and my mom wasn't even the person who birthed us. While its been cool to meet the formerly anonymous donor, we don't see them as family. And birthmom is someone we chose to excise from our lives. Genetics doesn't make a family in case you're concerned about that with adoption.

If your concern with conceiving is the sex part, couldn't you just deliver the sperm artificially?

Yeah. The repression is quite relatable. Maybe eventually I'll decide I don't relate to the agender label or consider myself a NB woman. Used to be a lot more concerned about the answer to label questions, but eventually realized the answer didn't really matter: I can change presentation, hormones, etc regardless.

But I don’t experience the sort of revulsion at my genitals that I hear some trans people describe (although I do hate being so hairy).

There's so much variation in experiences. Being trans isn't defined by suffering even if lots of trans people do suffer.

Personally, realized I was NB in my late-20's a couple years ago. At first (like, for 2-3 weeks?) I considered myself agender but didn't identify with the "trans" label. Soon I realized I actually related a lot more to transfem experiences than I expected, so I accepted the trans label. I still like the agender and NB labels, but also consider myself transfem. I don't think of myself as a woman even though I now take E and have nuked my T levels.

People do it even if you are in the left most lane and going the speed you are because that's what the 10 cars in front of you are going....

Even if you are paying for the $5/month plan, you still are incentivized to be careful to not run out early without any option for topping up other than switching to the higher tier subscription service. $5 isn't worth it for like 20 searches/month imo.

Is that subreddit just kept around as a honeypot?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I want to just want a prepaid plan rather than a subscription service. Let me buy 100 searches for $5 and when they run out, let me make another purchase if I want.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Still costs $5 even if you only make a single search that month....

Wouldn't be surprised if some transport companies accidentally get hit by something like this given how so many have very accidentally trans names.

Even the people who voted for him or are closely involved with his election are also confused because they haven't got their exceptions.

Next year wouldn't really be as unexpected though, would it? Typically the local el nino/la nina effects overshadow year-over-year levels of climate warming and you have to compare similar el nino to el nino or la nina to la nina to clearly see the effects of climate change (and disinformation sources would intentionally compare el nino years to the following la nina years to show "global cooling" and pretend to panic about it). An increase in year-over-year temperatures despite the multi-year cycle decreasing is pretty alarming.

The acceleration of climate change is expected, but frequently have exceeded expectations of reasonable scientists. I guess at least this is occurring while solar irradiance as been on an upswing and not a downswing, but by the time the next el nino that ends as solar irradiance decreases, we'll probably have accelerated enough that temps continue to increase anyways.
