I approve. Good work.

Its an indication of what the people who trade in extended hours think, which is not a particularly representative sample.

This announcement happened at the close of the markets. The price movement during active trading today cannot be in response to this announcement.

Watch the markets tomorrow, that is when you will see the effect of this news.

good. /s ruins the fun

Anyone making sarcastic internet comments in text expects some subset of people to take it seriously. Its part of the fun!

If that were the issue they would have canceled the orders several years ago. Refusing the planes at this point is due to more recent developments.

They were US citizens. Canada doesn’t let you stay longer than 6 months when just visiting. They had no choice but to return home at some point.

When I started HRT, my doctor had me ramp up the antiandrogen slowly over the course of 4 weeks. It was spironolactone and that caused some odd issues shortly after the increase day. Also I was on 4mg/day of sublingual estradiol. The weird feelings were weakness and an inability to regulate temperature, but nothing painful.

Other antiandrogens are available, it’s probably a good idea to make some sort of change to your medicine. Pain is usually an indication that something is wrong.

The most effective way for them to fight government waste would be to not sign executive orders unless they are unambiguously legal. This administration is constantly making work for federal lawyers at every possible opportunity, and lawyers are really expensive. “fighting government waste” is completely a smoke screen for what they’re actually doing.

Regardless, unless you order one of the premade ready to ship items it probably won’t get to you in time for this trip. They have quite long turnaround times.

Hi, do you know what the fiber content is? From checking their website they seem to have a lot to say about how their fabrics are sourced, but nothing as to what they are made of.

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.

Edit: I disagree with the ban. It isn’t transphobic to be misinformed. They even phrased it as a question, and didn’t argue their position any further. They sounded genuinely confused about the terms, and every other reply seemed to have drawn the same conclusion.

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.

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

$90 to replay a 8 year old wiiu game. Why would anyone?

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.

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.

Trump is against medicine.
