Surely this could be useful for someone.

I've probably posted this one before but I got fed up of looking at the messed up eyebrows so I fixed them - old version below

Anyway

Ben, 64, Northampton, MA, 2014
I identify as an FTM, non-hormone, non-op, transsexual heterosexual man. That's the whole string of it. I was in the lesbian community when I was younger, but I never
really fit. That was the 1970s and there really wasn't the language then about transmen or FTMs or any of that. I didn't have that accessible to me as an identity. I thought, "I'm the only one on the planet like me," but then in 1985, Lou Sullivan sent his little booklet through the mail to the archives I was working on. It was
"Information for the Female-to-male Crossdresser and
Transsexual," a little booklet that he self-published with a little handwritten note that said, "Maybe some people in your archive would want to read this." Even though
he didn't know me, he didn't know who he was sending this to, I read it. I read it and within two hours I called him and I said, "I gotta meet you, because now there's two of us, you know, on the planet." And I flew to San
Francisco to meet him.

When I got there, I dressed up super masculine. I even
wore temporary facial hair, because I wanted to
demonstrate to him that I was a man. So, he opens the door and he is this little frail ninety-eight pound gay guy with a t-shirt on and I thought, "Well, he's a man and he's kinda like me, but he's kinda not like me." We ended up talking for five hours straight in his kitchen. In the middle of it, he told me he had to get up and take his AZT. I hadn't known that he had HIV/AIDS, but I realized
then that I was making the closest friend of my entire
lite, the most pivotal individual for me, and that I was losing him at the same time. We corresponded until he
died and when he died, I started the East Coast FTM
Group because I had nobody and he had asked me to
head up his group in San Francisco, which I couldn't do.

I always felt some resistance to the fact that I didn't
transition medically, but over time I started to find
transsexuals who had not transitioned medically, or who
had transitioned partially and then stopped, like my
friend Leslie Feinberg. Eventually I found more people with the idea that, "I'm already me, I don't need any medical intervention to become me." It took a ten-year
journey with a gender counselor to give myself permission around this, because it is not popular, even
in our community.

Magical creatures don’t exist, eh? Roughly 400 million years ago, before the birth of trees, there were giant mystery cones called “Prototaxites,” which grew nearly 30 feet tall. We literally have no idea what they were. Plant: no Mushroom: no Animal: no Tell me this isn’t a little bit magic

is it so wrong to yearn

a doodle comic with two panels. in the first, an anthro hare character has the thought bubble "maybe a woman calling me bunny would fix me." in the next panel, they clutch their head and hunch forward in pain. the ghost of a screenshot of discord messages is behind them, which has the first person say "i need a girl to kiss" followed by someone asking "do you think that just because you're a lesbian it makes that sentence any less pathetic"

Great moments in Scottish engineering history: James Watt tries to work out how his phone attaches to his selfie stick.

Statue of James Watt. In his right hand he holds a telescopic stick with a frame at the top; in his left he holds a flat object about the size of a large smartphone. He is scowling at the possibly-not-a-smartphone as if he is tempted to yeet it into the sea. On that basis, it probably _is_ a phone.

you should treat a trans person today

"stop using anti transgender language"

instead of "thank you", say "here is $20"
instead of "hey can you grab the door", say "do you want me to send you money"
instead of "have a good day at work", say "here is $20"
instead of "how was your day", say "have $20"
instead of "good morning", say "let me give you money"

If attendance at a major women's conference was down 80% due to a boycott fighting against trans *inclusion*, it would be all over the Times, Telegraph, Mail etc. This last weekend, attendance at a major women's conference was down 80% due to a boycott fighting against trans *exclusion*. Crickets.

Those first few steps are nervy, but you have a bright future ahead - I'm sure of it. By the same merit, you've helped foster an inclusive attitude at TFN, which has definitely made me feel welcome! It's nice to go somewhere and not worry how people are gonna take you

I'm guessing it's mould degradation. Kind of a shame, since he's nice otherwise. Might see if there's any small tweaks I can make.

If you see an increase in cancer diagnosis you don’t impose a wait limit on time it takes people to get assessed. You employ more cancer specialists. People are going after a disability because it’s an easy target. This is state sanctioned suffering, abuse and neglect.
