  • The whole "transition = surgery" thing is not only bs imo, but also what historically tends to be how usa beaurocratically gatekeeps people, especially in conservative states. They won't greenlight a change of name/gender on birth certificates without it, for example. Transition starts in different ways, and it all depends on the person. It's social, mental, and physical, and not always in that order, and not always all of the above. I knew I didn't want the puberty I got, and didn't bother really addressing it until my 20s. It's different for everyone. (Non-binary person here, for context)

  • I find music and the outdoors do right by me. If you need tunes I'm sure myself and other lemmyfolk can hook you up with genres you like without helping corpo wallets. I'll start: if you like industrial, check out The Birthday Massacre. Great Canadian band. I think their website has free downloads and they've got merch if you choose to support them.

  • I love the small controllers. They're so much easier on my joints than anything else, to the point where they've given me reaccessibility to my old games via emulator. Can't do a button masher to save my life any more though.

    I wonder, if you're handy, perhaps you could gut one of the big ol' XBOX controllers and do a frankenswap.

  • I'm on my 3rd dreamcast but it's been fine for the last couple decades. My genesis, though, 1991 and still fine. Kicking myself actually, the cartridge port was feisty for EVER but i finally had the guts to really look in there and i tweezed out 30 years of fuzz that had felted down in it.

  • If it's anything like my 2001, there will be. (It's the damn horn. The relay. It's wired in there with a bunch of other important shit, like cruise control. So, when i use the fob to lock the door, it doesn't simply chirp, it wholeass honks. Any efforts and documentation to silence this feature have been a failure. So I unplugged one horn and tried again and found out there were two.) I've been tempted to run a separate wire from the battery to the horn but I'm still toying with a wiring diagram about it because if I'm gonna rig it, I'd prefer to do it correctly, and only once😂 Good luck with your mic, though.

  • Well, firstly, you don't need a lot of time between tampons, technically -- so long as the absorption size isn't too crazy and you're changing them frequently enough. Secondly, fuck tampons, get a menstrual cup. For the uninitiated, it's a silicone doohickey essentially shaped like a bell that fits around the cervix. Learning curve? Yes. Squick factor? Probably. tons of sizes. Safer than tampons (see Toxic Shock Syndrome).

    Pays for itself in a few months if you have heavy flow.

    Bidet would be a little less necessary but still, if heated, v nice.

    If I've had a rough second day I'll half-shower rinse, sure, but the merula xl is just about big enough to handle it otherwise.
