I use a private invidious instance for the stuff I need to access Youtube for. And peertube for everything else
250 watts just isn't enough. It can help you carry a load or it can help you up a hill, but not both. I wouldn't even bother with an ebike at that wattage. 500 (like in NSW) is a much more sensible maximum.
It's especially true given that wattage isn't the real issue. Top speed is the issue and that can be capped independent of wattage.
Nothing. Small town country Australia wasn't a great place to grow up, and it's not a great place to go back to...

Gender: People took the dimorphism found in the very good sex God created, and iterated upon it for thousands of years, and now guys are allowed to wear polo shirts and girls are allowed to wear eyeliner. Gender is made up, and changes from place to place and time to time. Our gender is the first impression we give of ourselves, and it's extremely malleable, we can do with it as we will.
I don't think this truly gets at the essence of what gender is, at least in my own experience of it. What you're describing here feels like a combination of gender expression, and also the societal expectations built around gender. For me at least, my experience of gender lies somewhere below those things. It interacts with both of them, but it isn't either of them.
The way I put it is like this. If I was raised on an island of men, and had never met a woman, nor even had the concept of gender expression, I'd still feel something. A sense of not being the same as the people around me. It wouldn't manifest through expression, and it wouldn't manifest through cultural definitions of gender, because I wouldn't have those concepts. There would be a nameless something though, that I lacked the words to describe, that would exist even in that scenario, and that is where my own experience of gender lies.
I don't get it. Seeing a dick gives you psychic damage? Do straight women take damage too or is it only straight men?
If feels kinda homophobic tbh...
What you're looking for is an informed consent healthcare provider. (https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/1/viewer?mid=1DxyOTw8dI8n96BHFF2JVUMK7bXsRKtzA&ll=26.199827571693177%2C-113.38234069999999&z=3)
It takes time. You're undoing a lifetime of transphobia on the path to self acceptance. Even when you know who you are, the entrenched stuff takes time to undo. You'll get there though.
That being said, I've got aphantasia, so no mental images of myself, past, present or future. It took me time to accept myself and feel comfortable with my labels, without a future self image to work towards. But, I got there.

No thank you. The only winning move is not to play
I tried to love that trans pride theme, but the nicest thing I can say about it is that I'm happy there is explicitly a trans pride theme :P
I use an estrogen implant that lasts about 12 months. When it's coming to an end, I start to get moody and irritable.
But I started HRT long enough ago that the euphoria side of it is long gone. Now it's just normal
