Peaches - Trans Megathread from April 7th, 2025 to April 13th, 2025

Didn't have a chance to write up a detailed post, either on a fruit or the topic I was originally thinking about. I think they're neat and they taste good.

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

My fiancée didn't like the name "girl bag" for my balls

::: spoiler cw sex/kink
I got to use my biggest toy today, and it felt amazing, its like a signal whip but its also a cat o' 9. And i took it so wellll my domme said i did so goooooood

I like how the story started to play out in
Adventure 2 but gameplay wise I feel it started to enter the era of "do all these cool tricks as we intended to get a perfect score" compared to adventure 1 which was just about speed. Like your score is still heavily tied to your speed but each little section if you break it down is just tight action sequences you have to nail in between the next action sequence... I miss the free form style of Adventure 1 so much

if I had my little way I'd eat peaches every day.

Thinking of getting back into Dead State. It's a spiritual sequel to Fallout 1 and 2 (and Tactics now that I have recently replayed that). It's a turn based squad RPG set in a zombie apocalypse. It's one of the few games that I feel properly balances combat against humans versus combat against zombies, exploring and looting, while managing a base, with speech checks and dialogue.
I finished it a few years ago but I messed up and caused some people to die and didn't get the best ending with a couple of others. I also picked a kind of boring ending where the surviving military helps you evacuate, in exchange for your character being drafted as a commander of their forces.
What I really like is you have to balance the personalities and factions in your base. You can't please everyone as different factions are diametrically opposed. But you can call in favors and persuade people to soften the blow. The other thing is you also manage your individual relationship with other survivors, but without any spoilers some survivors secretly (or openly) are real pieces of shit, so you're better off antagonizing them and bringing them into line (even killing or exiling them), instead of placating or appeasing them, because if you do the later messed up stuff can happen between them and other survivors. Likewise other survivors who seem like dicks or useless really come out of their shells and become real team players.
The combat is basically like Fallout 2. You have action points, 2 weapon slots, you balance attacking versus moving etc. You can customize your own character to be good at melee, range or a mix of the two (my favorite as there's some neat synergies that can make you a real jack of all trades MVP in a fight, but that's balanced against not being the worlds best sniper or melee fighter).
You also go from being like Season 1 walking dead helpless survivors to unstoppable killers in customized body armour and weapons, clearing rooms with homebrewed nerve gas.
- Except I can't get it to play argh. Probably a way but it's annoying how some old games are basically unplayable now on modern computers

- I found myself back to full power really at 2 month mark. It’s such a life changing surgery.
- After a month it’s still that bad? Wow, that’s brutal.
  
  Full recovery is 12 months, mostly for remaining swelling and hair regrowth for the last 6 months. Honestly the worst part is the first 3 days. Afterwards it gets a little bit better every day. I feel amazing compared to 2 weeks ago

putting "OSINT expert" on my resume because I'm terminally online
- I've ordered DIY before. I'm an international supply chain and logistics expert!
- putting "hella gay" on my resume because I'm on this particular corner of the internet

went thrifting
got a cute lil narwhal snap bracelet plushy and stuff for decluttering
- also the snap plushy sounds so cute I'm envious
  
  Still needs a name but has Curly's approval and went to the gym with me on my gay lil backpack
- eeeeeee~ cyooot

- I agree. It's like when people post the left-handed graph. Sure it's probably correct that once society stops being structurally and culturally transphobic, there will be a cap on how many trans people there are (maybe 3% of population IDK?). But if the rate of trans people was literally growing exponentially so that at some point in the future 100% of people would be trans, there would be nothing wrong with that. Society would have to adjust but we've done so for other stuff.
  
  What's the left-handed graph? I'm not familiar.
  Personally, I imagine that, in a society that was truly free of gender-based oppression and where people weren't forced into gender at birth, most people wouldn't even have a gender (though probably a few people would, like as a hobby kinda?). But I could be totally wrong on that. I think you can really only guess how many people would be trans or whatever else once so the bullshit is removed: we're too deep in the bullshit to have any real idea.
- Real!! I understand wanting to be stealth and just be cis, but tbh I can't help but think the trans people assimilating are losing some of the most important parts of being trans. It's something special, not something to hide away.
  
  It's something special, not something to hide away
  Agree! I love being trans!
  And I understand wanting to be safe and wanting to not have to deal with transphbic comments, worry about violence, etc. But assimilation isn't a real path towards that, only dismantling patriarchy is.
- Yeah, it's just liberal bullshit.
  What we actually need is a gender cultural revolution

we built this shitty
we built this shitty on butt with hole
- not as good imo, you win this round

Been exercising more and eating more healthily this week and I'm starting to like my body just a little more :)

Okay idk why but something clicked in my brain and now all the essays I've been writing are gender and identity stuff. I've written so many in the past month after not writing any in my entire time at uni so far. Not complaining since they're fun and easy to write, it's just weird that it's happened suddenly.

There’s 2 thing I would have NEVER expected as a teenager:
That I’m a woman
That I would join a knitting group (well not yet. I still have to wait a few weeks)
I was looking for a new hobby and thought I would give it a try, because I found crocheting quite enjoyable as a child and I REALLY want some nice, custom sweaters.
But holy moly is yarn expensive.
(perfect emoji lol)
I just spent 100€ for 2 circular needle pairs, some basic tools and 22 skeins of wool, and almost all of those things were on sale. Like, it’s legit cheaper to just buy a sweater, unknit it and use that as a source of wool, because the prices in the fashion industry are just that insanely low.
Prime example of how ridiculous capitalism is.
- Yarn is so expensiiiivvvveeeeeee and then before you know it you have saved up a ton of one off or two off skiens and need to find small projects to knit
  
  I’ve already bought a bunch of one-off skeins.
  
  But I can use them for practice or experimenting, I guess.
- Congrats on finding a hobby group, and having a neat hobby in the first place!
  
  Thank you.
  
  Yeah, my social worker has tried to get me to join one for 5 years now, but I never did until now because of dysphoria kicking my ass.
- how fun!!
  
  I hope it will be, because usually I hate monotonous tasks. But if I can listen to stuff or chat with others at the same time, I think I will love it.

- congratsssss!!!!! proud of u
- That's amazing! You're crazy capable for having a steady hand at it.

Hello gamers, I got my blood work back and don't really know what to make of it
T: ~90 ng/dL
E: ~65 pg/mL
Is this normal for 2.5 months on HRT? I was on 4mg estradiol a day for the first month and a half and then bumped up to 6mg, plus 100mg Spiro a day (unchanged throughout). I definitely missed doses here and there, but maybe only a handful throughout.
- E doesnt come in ng/dL, are you sure you are reading the levels correctly? It should be pg/mL or pmol/L.
  
  Oh yup I misread it's pg/mL
- Not really surprising. There's a lot of variation from person to person it seems, so starting doses often are not enough, but serve to get an idea of what is needed.

Frozen peaches are a fun and cool snack. 👍

Peaches are amazing. They're one of my all time favorite fruits

Happy Yoshi Day

got new shelving coming for my greenhouse. gonna need it with all these trays of seeds i have

- I like cis men tho 😭 I just don't want to have to be their fucking therapist when they are "completely blindsided" by the fact that I'm trans despite me putting it in two separate places in my bio 🙃
  I already have a date for tonight tho with this extremely attractive cis/het guy that was seemingly normal about me being trans... Guess we're about to find out if that's the case XD

True, peaches do taste good

Damn! My guess were bananas.
