Lexi @lexi.tgirl.gay · 23/10/2026the bar to actually get fired for doing anything towards a trans colleague is basically set at criminal stalking and harassment 31565 156
Lexi @lexi.tgirl.gay · 23/10/2026honestly the idea that someone gets fired for misgendering, even deliberately and repeatedly over months to years, is largely fiction. most orgs would rather just manage out the trans person than actually hold a white dude to account 11666 166
Lexi @lexi.tgirl.gay · 23/10/2026yeah I sometimes mess with the pressure limits and ramp rate etc on my CPAP when it's annoying me or I'm sick to stop it doing that as much. it also has the exhalation relief feature that's kind of like a really shitty bipap where the two levels can only be a small distance apart 000 0
Lexi @lexi.tgirl.gay · 19/10/2026and then after tea I will explain suits to the menswear dude 1230 23
Lexi @lexi.tgirl.gay · 18/10/2026them: are you, or are you not, one of us? me: (incomprehensible screaming, clawing at the walls and at my own skin crying) them: oh good, someone to take my turn as bottom in my place 140 4
Lexi @lexi.tgirl.gay · 16/10/2026I used to think I was immune to that trauma, I had this superpower where I could just... look at it and then kinda forget about it. Dissociate from it, almost. Amazing stuff 🥲 110 1
Lexi @lexi.tgirl.gay · 16/10/2026One of the things our schools and society teach kids early and often is that too much empathy is not acceptable, and they have to look past the suffering of others they don't know or understand so that they can live their lives. You don't generate that kind of person often in a society like that 110 1
Lexi @lexi.tgirl.gay · 16/10/2026Yeah I think you have to be the kind of person who is deeply aware of the limits of their own mind and perspective, and believes that things outside it have intrinsic value, and meets new ideas with love and curiosity. People like that exist but they're ridiculously rare, especially in our society 110 1
Lexi @lexi.tgirl.gay · 16/10/2026There are also some autoimmune conditions that may require special management (since lots of the immune system is keyed off sex hormones) especially during HRT initiation, but can probably be stabilised at some level of ongoing HRT (might not look exactly like the typical dosages and levels though) 020 2
Lexi @lexi.tgirl.gay · 16/10/2026(and you often don't know you have one until you try HRT and something goes really sideways) 130 3
Lexi @lexi.tgirl.gay · 16/10/2026Various intersex conditions can mean that taking HRT is very tricky and might require surgery to sort some things out first 130 3
Lexi @lexi.tgirl.gay · 16/10/2026Existing history of breast/prostate cancer probably makes taking E/T respectively a bad idea, though in both cases part of treatment is often to drop your endogenous hormone production anyway. Familial blood clotting disorders probably make taking oral tablets of E inadvisable, but parenteral is ok 120 2
Lexi @lexi.tgirl.gay · 15/10/2026In a better world cis people would feel an obligation to make threads like this to justify why they _haven't_ transitioned. What do you mean you don't want to change sex? Have you even _tried_ it? 050 5
Lexi @lexi.tgirl.gay · 10/10/2026I have this and it is really a work of art, one of my favourite books 050 5
Lexi @lexi.tgirl.gay · 27/09/2026my browser extension that replaces all mentions of "twinks" with "women" has made this post very confusing 000 0
Lexi @lexi.tgirl.gay · 27/09/2026It takes a long time to learn that thinking deeply up-front can save you crying deeply later 120 2
Lexi @lexi.tgirl.gay · 25/09/2026oh it never stops people, it just makes me feel a little better about it. knowing they're not just evil, but also foolish and completely wrong 010 1
Lexi @lexi.tgirl.gay · 25/09/2026and if they do, they will have been deeply foolish and doomed the species to extinction. diversity is conserved in nature because without it there can be no adaptation to sudden changes in the environment. "freaks" in the population are the reservoir for future adaptive traits 130 3
Lexi @lexi.tgirl.gay · 22/09/2026we have a lot of golden penda around our house, which these guys absolutely love when they're flowering. my kids are obsessed and want to check on the trees every day so they know when the "rainbow pretties" are coming back. it's super cute. 110 1
Lexi @lexi.tgirl.gay · 20/09/2026and to prove it they have a group trauma dump & compare session, but then everybody switches out and nobody can remember it happened? 000 0
Lexi @lexi.tgirl.gay · 19/09/2026On the other hand, as you learn the patterns you start seeing them literally everywhere 🫣 110 1
Lexi @lexi.tgirl.gay · 18/09/2026... yeah. that age ~8-11 time was the worst part of my life, I think. in those couple of years it changed from just bullying, to real violence and sexual assault, like for so many of us. bathrooms (usually school toilet blocks) always seem to be in the worst memories for me, too 060 6
Lexi @lexi.tgirl.gay · 17/09/2026Discord extensively A:B test stuff like this, it always rolls out to some segment of the userbase first and then if they like it, it slowly starts appearing for everyone else 020 2
Reposted by LexiStrange Currencies @strangecurrencies.org · 17/09/2026Is "Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?" threatening a priest directly? No. Priests who meddle in the affairs of the King have been targeted repeatedly. That's awful and they have my sympathy. 114426 144
Lexi @lexi.tgirl.gay · 16/09/2026😂🫣 just don't take that photo with cloud backups enabled on your phone, most of the services insta-ban you and report you for any photo that involves both a baby and a dick, and they don't usually consider appeals 120 2
Reposted by LexiIsaac (proud small hat wearer) Gantwerk Mayer @isaacgantwerkmayer.bsky.social · 16/09/2026the thing about antivax is not that it’s objectively wrong (although it is), it’s that even if it were right, you’re saying you’d rather your kid be dead than autistic, and that’s unforgivable 04410 44
Lexi @lexi.tgirl.gay · 16/09/2026"Hi can you autoclave this little plastic chair for me and put the testis on it and take a photo for me? It's a long story and I don't want to explain but there's a $50 note in my gown for you if you can do it" 110 1
Lexi @lexi.tgirl.gay · 16/09/2026maybe the histopathologist's dissection tray can be his little cuck chair 110 1
Lexi @lexi.tgirl.gay · 16/09/2026poor little dude. I had one that just liked to watch, too. he got cut up and put in a medical waste bin somewhere. 110 1
Lexi @lexi.tgirl.gay · 16/09/2026I guess when you're faced with a situation where your cultural assumptions contradict reality, you either go "hang on, if this is wrong, what else is wrong" and start undoing the whole knot, or you go "my assumptions are right, and reality is wrong. I will enforce this with violence" 150 5
Lexi @lexi.tgirl.gay · 16/09/2026I do feel like it's kinda specific to our cultural mileu though -- I'm not sure that engaging with transness would have such a strong effect if we weren't born in a culture that was so absurdly hell-bent on the idea of gender being absolute, fundamental and natural 1121 12
