Well, Cygan was wondering why there wasn't one, so I made it. I guess we can talk about queer stuff. :3

(*LGBTQ+ Solidarity huggles*)

Oh, and if you're wondering, non-queer folks are welcome too.

They blocked me and I was just like "thanks, i legitimately hate interacting with terfs anyway".

Suddenly I'm... still rotating Fallen London in my mind even though I've stopped actively playing it.

If my bra strap could stop pressing in on my old shoulder injury that'd be great.

Also if that damn thing could actually heal up after over a year that'd be even better.

[up]my cousin once had me treat where she'd got an actual burn on her shoulder from a bra strap. And another time for muscular injuries from a sports bra that was ill-fitted at the back. I feel like they're an issue in themselves, perhaps you could put some cotton under the strap?

So I had my pads on for almost all the day (aside from the brief time I had to be downstairs interacting with everyone).

And now that I've taken them off to go to bed it feels weird and kind of upsetting to not have the weight on my chest.

On the Rowling thing it’s worth noting that she’s claiming that it never happened, so it comes down to what the source of the screenshot is and if said source can be trusted.

It’s hard to tell honestly, she’s more right-wing and prone to conspiracy theories than a lot of us thought (she clearly hates Corbyn deeply), but that doesn’t inherently mean she’s transphobic.

Also the Depp thing. And the way she's written LGBT characters in the past.

Oh, no I saw her actual twitter... I am hoping she didn't know what it was, because I think she's too intelligent to at least be so publicly discriminatory. Then again, I know intelligent self-made middle aged CEO's who will put their faith in clickbait news and text it to everyone because "isn't this interesting"note , so maybe not.

The screenshot is real. Several different people screenshotted the same thing, including a trans author I follow. Thing is, iirc, this isn't the first transphobic thing she's liked on twitter. The others were more dogwhistly than this, but still. She's got a record.

What I read wasn't that Rowling denied it happening, it's that she claimed it was a "middle aged moment" mistake. Which. No. Just no.

I will admit that the Twitter app is poorly designed, but the suggestion that she accidentally liked several tweets in a row on the same subject by the same author, entirely by holding the phone wrong...

well, even if you believe it, that still suggests that she was subscribed to that sort of content before the "middle-aged moment" happened.

Yeah, even if it was an accident, it still found its way onto her screen...

So I'd forgotten how much of a goddamn minefield updating documents is going to be when I actually start doing full-time transition.

And the short answer is that since everything has to be signed off by someone who has known me for over two years, is not a blood relative and who works in a very narrow list of "recognised professions" means I am effectively screwed.

[up] :( I'm having trouble changing my address on my tax exemption form (you need to basically do your taxes to prove you're exempt from having to do your taxes in the USA...) I cannot imagine how hard it must be for anything more substantial than "no, it's the same zipcode because it's the same town. I promise I'm not doing anything shady with my address. What would I have to hide? Yes I mentioned weed once on Facebook in college, but come on."

When I said the list of "recognised professions" for countersignatories was narrow, I wasn't kidding.

There's also the very nebulous "person of good standing in the community" alternative.

EDIT: Digging deeper it seems like I only need a countersignatory if my appearance has changed such that I cannot be recognised from the photo that's in my passport already. Maybe. It just seems like every place I've looked has said something different.

I didn't need a counter-signatory to change the picture on my driving licence, and that's after a year of social transitioning and about 4 months of hormones.

Yeah, it just seemed like the GOV.UK page had a different explanation to the Passport Office site to a few others.

Then it just means needing a statement of intent (that the clinic should write up anyway), whatever my formal name change document is going to be and a bank letter or something with the name on.

I don't really bother with hip padding myself. It doesn't really make my figure more feminine.
