I read the article and the headline is false, and contradicts the story.

The snitch line is real. If you have heard about it in other news sources, this is it. But its for reporting doctors who give the care, not for reporting the patients who receive it.

The article itself seems fine, but the headline is lies. The feds haven’t open a second snitch line to report trans people receiving care, at least not according to this article.

This is all very bad but its not quite as bad as the headline is written to make you believe.

its how lemmyworld users say hello don’t worry about it.

you know…

If you’re scared of having a girlfriend you must be terrified of having a wife.

Trans people being for pansexuals is a common trope in queer pandering media. They specifically pair trans people with pansexuals, so they can be inclusive, but in the specific way that doesn’t ask their mostly cis and straight audience to question their own sexuality, because that might make them uncomfortable.

Its not a reflection of reality. Hot women are hot, hot men are hot, regardless of how they got there.

Biden put tarriffs on chinese EVs which is why you can’t buy a BYD in the us. This is not an example of appeasement, this is what they do regardless.

Gender dysphoria is not diagnosed by the symptoms. The determining factors are the desire for change, and the presence of some sort of distress or discomfort. The specifics of the discomfort that you experience are not part of it. If you want to change your gender, and have some amount of discomfort as a result, you have gender dysphoria. From reading your post, it sure sounds like it.

If you’re interested, I have included the diagnostic criteria for gender dysphoria and transsexualism from the American Psychiatric Association’s DSM-5, and the World Health Organization’s ICD-10 respectively. If you go to a doctor they will almost assuredly be using one of these documents to determine if you can be diagnosed for it. They both require some amount distress or discomfort but give no details on what that distress or discomfort feels like or how it manifests.

Thanks I was reading this post on my smart fridge and I’m not strong enough to tilt it back.

Same. In many ways ignorance is bliss, but it is no substitute.

I didn’t care about my health either, but now I do, because of the HRT. HRT is great! Do whatever you need to do to get it.

I was prescribed both estrodiol and a testosterone blocker. That combination has made me stop getting horny, like entirely. I wouldn’t say that’s the best part, but as an asexual it’s a delightful bonus.

That doesn’t work. I found a study about cow’s milk having measurable levels of estrogen, and that’s even mammalian estrogen that works unlike plant estrogen that just has a similar name.

But HRT is precise and controlled. Its far better to do it properly. Trying to change your hormones through diet is far more likely to cause health problems from a poor and unvaried diet than it is to actually change your body.

My experience with dysphoria has always been subtle and unspecific. It took a very long time for me to recognize it.

In adulthood, it was little more than a slight inclination towards depression. Whenever I would notice it, it was far easier to attribute it to immediate circumstances.

When I felt it in winter, surely its just seasonal depression. When I felt it in summer, its just because I hate summer. During covid I was miserable because I couldn’t go anywhere, then afterwards I was miserable because I had to go places. This was all dysphoria, but nothing about it gave any indication it was about gender.

Also I had the emotional range of a thimble. (what is this metaphor?) I could feel empty, or angry, and little else.

I never liked how I looked in pictures avoided taking them, or appearing in them when possible. I guess I’m just ugly, that’s the most reasonable explanation.

It took me a very long time to realize I was trans, and even longer to be ready to accept it. It wasn’t until I started HRT and most of what I have described went away that I realized it was dysphoria.

I dislike the word dysphoria, because its such a strong word. For a long time I thought that my subtle and nonspecific feelings couldn’t possibly be enough to be dysphoria.

To anyone out there reading this because you’re uncertain if you’re feeling dysphoria: When a disorder is named after its symptoms it’s usually named at a very early stage of research, when researchers are only able to find the most obvious examples. This is why so many disorders have incredibly scary sounding names. Dysphoria can be that bad for some, but it can also be so subtle you don’t even realize you’re suffering.

I love femboys I wish femgirls were real.

You can call your AG regularly and be an annoying and persistant problem for their staff until they do something.

US car companies list their prices with the subsidies included too.

so… its a news article in 2025?

Waist measurements for women are made quite high, above the navel. Hip measurements are made around the middle of the butt. The jeans will only be the width of the waist measurement if they are high rise jeans. Mid rise jeans don’t go high enough to reach the natural waist, so the waist measurement is less of an issue.

Keep in mind the measurements are a circumference. 8 inches seems like a lot, but it equates to around 1-2 inches of linear distance, which is much less than it seems.

Women’s jeans tend to be made with much stretchier fabrics than men’s jeans. That’s why women’s jeans look better and are more form fitting. If the measurements are a little off in some place, the stretch of the fabric will help.

I just measured my jeans looping the tape measure through the belt loops and it went from 39" when relaxed to 45" when pulled tight. There’s a lot of leeway.

I would recommend getting mid rise jeans and prioritizing the hip measurement over the waist measurement. If you pick the size that is close it will probably be close enough.
