This is exactly why we need youth liberation, so that younger folks have access to information they need to make choices for themselves and be able to legally.

Imagine a world in which older folks could not just automatically expect to make all the decisions for younger folks, I think at least it would be a lot fairer with a lot less abuse and fewer/no shitty laws meant to gatekeep/control them specifically.

No, the GRC isn't required to get hormones, but you will either have to wait a long time to see the GIC/Trans Plus, hope that a doctor will continue any prescritpion you already had or go private such as with Gender G.P. (they cost a lot to set up or learn new things and they require blood tests every three months though), or go DIY if you want and order/make it all yourself.

The GRC is only necessary to change your birth certificate (including sex) if you're a already a UK citizen and for some limited governmental stuff (such as national insurance number and other HMRC stuff and marriages/civil partnerships), everything else can be gotten by with other documentation like passports and driving licenses etc.

Everywhere else doesn't require a birth certificate to change your sex just either whatever is already on your documentation or you can get a doctor to write a letter for you so you can change it anywhere you don't require a GRC for.

The only good man in the valley (who can live with you anyway) is Krobus.

Wow, that's pretty dire. I have tried dating apps and didn't really ever find much luck in them and started looking in places where dating isn't the goal instead like hobbies or common community spaces and slowly building relationships that way.

There's nothing in their profiles about their interests?

Addendum: To be clear why it doesn't have algorithms is because of the previous mentioned points and privacy.

There have been many who have tried to add such features and always we told them we didn't want something which we cannot explicitly opt-into because many don't want to be searchable due to harrasment etc.

Depends what you mean by success I suppose.

Mastodon is still going strong despite these supposed inconveniences, so I wouldn't call it a failure exactly.

A good solution here is to ask open ended questions instead of ones with a yes or no etc answer and to talk about their interests.

I believe you can interupt or control their communications with a flipper zero, if not there's a battery you can pull out on them somewhere.

Just in case, of course.

 

In this video Shana Leigh takes a look at how Native Americans sometimes have moved around a lot and weren't either born or raised entirely in the Americas.

An absolutely wonderful and deep insight into all the problems with revolutionary and other social movements, from the self serious martyrs that base their ideas on being the hero and get burned out to the rejection of rest, older wisdom and other such things it is a very much necessary message in this time of so much uncertainty.

Know where you are going, not just what you're trying to move away from.

This looks amazing!

We cannot wait to be terrified and exploring the depths, possibly in multiplayer this time (if the trailer is anything to go by).

 

So something we have been thinking about recently is the 'first is special' toxic idea of like it's better if some{one/many} does a particular thing with some{one/many} first before any others or just before some{one/many} else even if they aren't the first and how to stop thinking this way.

Do y'all have any ideas/suggestions on how to do this or work on it (slowly)?

 

This is a really great watch about how people often make a big deal out of nothing and like to create an agenda of us vs them when really they don't know what they're talking about.

Dives into NPD a bit, but mostly it's about the made up idea of every{one/many} being a 'narcissist' nowadays.

So excited for this!

 

We were wondering if the docs etc here could be rewritten in such a way so as to not call all of us human since some of us are not.

Much like being transgender, being otherkin, alter{human/being} or transspecies can have a lot of dysphoria attached to it and we have had to at least explicitly tell one person on lemmy that we are not human even though it is in our profile.

We think that being more inclusive is always a good thing and will gladly work with those who can edit the docs etc in order to find more inclusive ways to say what needs to be said without misspeciesing any{one/many}.

Thanks for reading this and we hope this finds y'all well.
