Every one of those openers is a giant red flag for me. They are reducing you to only your sexual characteristics. If they are making your trans status the number one reason to meet you, you are not going to be looking at a long term scenario. They see you as exotic and novel, not as a full person.

I'm sorry, I'm not a man, but I do know the answer to your question. Disclosing your trans status in a dating profile is guaranteed to attract chasers. Once they realized you wanted a relationship and not just sex, they probably lost interest. I can almost guarantee it's not your fault, there's just a lot of gross men. You are a woman, it's not a lie. Disclose your trans status before meeting, but try to get to know them better first and get a sense of how they might react. You won't always get it right, and some men may respond badly, and you'll have to block them immediately. This is how I eventually found my husband.

Another option is to use a queer dating app and specifically look for t4t relationships. There are a lot of cute trans guys out there.

We are literally watching your accelerationist theory fall apart at this very moment and you still defend it. This is the result you wanted, right? Democrats got their ass handed to them last November so they were forced to admit their mistakes and began pushing their platform further left and taking stronger stances against Republicans and genocide. Right? Surely by now your theory of voting for the worse outcome should have taught them the correct lesson? You aren't just a useful tool to enable fascism with no upside? Right??

You can be worse or better about genocide, it's unequivocally false to say that all genocides are equal. There was a choice. We could have had less killing or more.

And that's just from the respective platforms. I don't think people realize the extent to which Republicans do not listen to or care about their voters. We had an opportunity to put Harris in office and then berate the shit out of her the entire term to be better. That's not an option anymore. We are very much locked in to whatever braindead idea some billionaire spoons Trump.

Republicans were like, do these crazy things or we'll cut your funding. Harvard said no. This comes after Columbia mostly acquiesced to similar demands.

Civil rights aren't a technicality. If he 'got off' it would be a victory for everyone who enjoys not being harassed by police.

Slightly more likely than rolling two sixes.

No, they see us as criminals and will deny every right they can, marriage, public service, equal treatment under the law, medical insurance/medication, freedom of association, speech, and even our right to exist. The point is to criminalize and erase our existence from public life.

Let's be clear here: this was not a 'customer', this was a drug addict who died due to their drug addiction. If that sentence makes you feel any less sympathy for them or their family, you can go fuck yourself.

Last time I checked a moving charge created a magnetic field, not a wave. And you determine the curl, not the rotation. You didn't remember

A smaller arrow underneath the hand indicates the direction to wrap the fingers around the large arrow. The title of the image is File:Right hand rule simple.png

A look at a user profile using the various front ends for lemmy.blahaj.zone in each one, a majority of images are not rendered.

That's exactly how I feel! I think it's compounded by living in a rural area. I want to fit in not only because that's my childhood dream but also for a sense of safety. I'm not sure what the answer is either. Maybe this is just a stage of transitioning or maybe it's possible to form strong bonds with allies, eventually, the way it seemed to feel easier with queer people before. I just know that I feel lonely at the moment and the queer community as a whole has seemed more distant to me.

Where are all my transhet sisters?

I love the queer community and I feel like the more I work on myself, the less accepted I will be as a queer person.

For example, I joined a queer friend-finding app recently which didn't have an option to label myself heterosexual. At first I went stealth and didn't list my sexuality, and I got lesbians calling me a tease. I made a public post about being transhet and I mostly got messages from weird cis men.

I'm going to look for friends only under the trans umbrella for now, online and irl.

To that end: I like pop music, knitting, and politics. Please tell me your favorite online communities and people to follow!
