And also: Why critique our tech stack, especially when you clearly have no idea what you’re even talking about? We’ve developed in ECMAScript for well over a decade.
We now have the most based local bubble. Yes, this list is incredibly diverse. But ever since we started this instance, we have been focused on associating closely only with instances intent on reducing abuse, rather than causing it. As a plural system that has been abused for much of our lives—yet has somehow found healing and peace and mental clarity—we desire to associate with people of many different viewpoints, all so that we can both speak out against abuse and provide support to survivors like ourselves.
We also just want to have a good time online, and we enjoy hearing from diverse perspectives. As such, even our reject list has been substantially reduced in MRF.
No one is harmed by someone thinking thoughts, even if those thoughts are spoken aloud. Some thoughts though, when turned into action, are indeed abusive. And words themselves can cause harm. We take that into consideration and now more consistently deactivate individual accounts wherever possible. And when the words are especially concerning and amount to a threat of physical harm, or when abusive media is shared, we report that to admins immediately.
Since friends requested we share this publicly, and we have no reason not to: A brief history of how we went from overweight stereotypical programmer dweebs to #curvy#transfemme#MILF hackers in approximately one year of feminizing #HRT follows! Note that some of the amazingly positive things that happened were due to our specific situation prior to starting HRT—but there are certainly ways to achieve similar results without those circumstances.
We had 44D breasts last I checked, but that was almost six months ago—our boobs have grown since then. We don’t bother wearing bras, so the precise size is less relevant. We have back issues due to a neuromuscular disorder—issues that are unfortunately exacerbated by bras. So people just get the treat of seeing a bit of nip poking through tighter-fitting tees in the summer instead.
At the time of that last measurement, we had been on 8mg of estradiol daily and 200mg of spironolactone daily, both via oral route. The spironolactone was cut in half shortly after that due to some side effects that were extremely unpleasant. We’re still on the same doses other than that. That measurement would have been 1 year after we started feminizing HRT, almost precisely. We were started on 2mg of E2 and 50mg of spironolactone in August of 2021 and titrated up on both approximately every quarter till blood levels stabilized.
The other thing I would note is that we had a significant advantage in all of this by virtue of circustance: We were already overweight. Some of that was by virtue of weight gain attributed to specific psych meds that we were full titrated off of somewhere near August of 2022—the time we last measured our breasts. We gained much of it back after a year of titration (since feminizing HRT tends to cause weight gain)—the latter six months overlapping with the start of HRT. What resulted was the weight returning to more ideal locations—namely our boobs and our ass, both of which are now quite nice. :3
Those latter benefits were, in effect, a medically induced form of weight cycling, which is often encouraged by trans women as a method of promoting fat redistribution in the manner we described.
@meso@disabled@driftwood@errante@get for context, none of those users are pedophiles and we aren’t either. please stop marking their instances as ‘pedos’ in MRF policy or Mastodon blocklist. thanks.
@meso@get Uh oh… Guess I’m a pedo! Well, @disabled and @errante and @driftwood are friends of ours, so… Pedo by association, right? That qualifies for entry to the club?
@animeirl Honestly we enjoyed the books as kids. Enjoyed the movies, too. I still can’t believe we didn’t pick up on some of the racist and worse rhetoric, but… It was one of the only book series “for kids” we ever got into. Our parents always wanted us to read classics. Something something “my gifted child is smarter than yours” bullshit.
@animeirl Yeah. In cases like these, we just say vote with your wallet anyway. There are ways to acquire such media without investing in TERF rhetoric.
@animeirl Yep. It’s just odd. JKR is a terrible person. Like we said, we actually enjoyed the Harry Potter series, though. We know other trans folks who feel the same. We refuse to let an author being shitty ruin one of the only bits of media we actually read entirely for fun as kids.
@Terry My point was that I am a trans woman who ironically (yet somehow accurately) refers to herself as a futa MILF. And I would gladly make cash on the side doing this. I really wish I could produce breast milk… :(
@meso@rats “h” in the sense of the letter pronounced “ecchi” in Japanese. H-manga is the term used in Japan to describe what Westerners know as hentai manga. Doujinshi are fan projects and can be either h or not.
