Hey lovelies 
Which microblogging instances would you recommend to trans people in the UK looking to join the fediverse and why?
We're out of the loop on the best ones to recommend to Redditers looking for an alternative place to post, chat, and befriend people.
Must have strong rules against bigotry and ideally a large UK trans base 
I just backed a #Kickstarter to create a #trans positive documentary about #TransKids and the impact of the puberty blocker ban.

oooh https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danazol is an endo and lupus treatment... but metabolised by liver, so even if joints improve, my ALTs still need to come down.
"Mastodanatrol"?! MASTODON atrol, gdi.
argh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o2Ggwe2j0Gc is useful in more ways than just sharing it widely to assuage my anxiety.
A youtube comment: "With masculinizing treatment, I think there are other T options but can't remember the details.
If you've not had surgery, you'll want to consider taking progesterone to prevent pregnancy as T doesn't reliably preventbit.
Additionally, you can take finasteride to try to prevent hairloss although it may stunt beard growth."
"Finasteride is not suitable for some people. To make sure it's safe for you, tell a doctor if you have:
* ever had an allergic reaction to finasteride or any other medicine
* ever had depression or thoughts about harming yourself
* severe bladder problems
* liver problems".
... well at least I don't have -- oh wait yeah, the recurrent UTIs. :/

Someone asked for men with titties, so here we go. My take of an OC trans dude, since I rarely see them in art, much less with big bouncy boobies.
Remember: not all trans people are alike, the exact same way that not all members of ANY group are alike. That's why it would be a 'group' and not 'exact clones'. Yes, even identical twins are not completely identical in every way, cool and personally unique though they are in other ways (like us all!)
No one is more important than anyone else. You're allowed to experiment. You're allowed to stay with what you feel comfortable. You need to notice harm to others and yourself. You need to care AND rest. We will build something better after capitalism.
I love you.
REUPLOAD! This time, with shading! That I thought was included the first two times! But wasn't! https://lgbtqia.space/@MxVerda/113853813654160506
I want to put together a much needed no-compromises trans activism group in the UK because unfortunately there is no body at present that's unconditionally standing up for our rights. Ideally we'd be able to fill these purposes and more:
- Provide free access to HRT for people who need it funded by regular donations. Similiarly we should provide a centralised stock of HRT to get people through gaps in prescriptions or availability of DIY HRT.
- Organise protests and civil resistence to oppose transphobia, take a defiant stand against it and raise awareness of trans issues. I'm talking protests, stickering, marches and more.
- Provide 1:1 peer support for those who need it as well as community support groups.
- Respond to the worsening political and social situation as changes occcur.
The real question is how does one do this? I'll be here scratching my head trying to figure it out. Please if you can help in any way let me know! Boosting would help a lot too!
Google Delists DIY Hormone Therapy Sites
"Google has removed two websites providing “DIY” hormone replacement therapy used in gender-affirming care from search results at the request of the UK government, according to legal letters viewed by 404 Media."
"Both sites were temporarily offline after their domain registrar received letters [...] asking them to suspend their domain names". The registrars are Namecheap and NiceNIC.
Hmm, this isn't good, if the post is legitimate. Obviously, treat it with a pinch of salt, but regardless, be careful.
My first post here... But here we go.
We live in horrible scary times at the moment. It's ok to be scared. It's ok to struggle, to hurt.
I am too.
But in dark times like this we should try to be the brightest. Never forget that positivity and optimism itself can be revolutionary.
Be kind to yourselves ok? No matter how hard a day gets, try to take a moment to care for yourself. You deserve it. You are strong, and you can get through these times. We can, and we will together.
You are never alone!
