Do you use the word “trans” when talking about nonbinary people?

    Nonbinary person here, and yes nb people are trans. You’re transitioning from one gender to another.

    Trying to assert otherwise, and playing semantic word games, especially when we’re all being so heavily targeted right now, is reckless and stupid. Whether an individual non-binary person feels a strong connection of the word transgender is their business, but we should all be banding together and meeting the fucking moment. Not atomizing ourselves further

          Jeez, I got so lucky. After giving birth mine went back down to IBTC levels, I can’t imagine living with big 'uns :-/

          How is the flat chested life treating you?

            sometimes I wonder if I’ll miss them someday but then I saw an ad the other day for bras that was like our bras fit all shapes!

            • too small on top
            • too small on the bottom
            • too big on the sides
            • flat
            • pointy
            • Long
            • lumpy
            • point down
            • point up
            • point out
            • point in different directions

            and for only $80 per bra!

            I’m a little grateful they’re gone after seeing that.

              Must suck to need special bras :-/ I think my budget is about 20€ per year for that.

              Mostly though, I was wondering if you fall over backwards due to unexpected weight distribution or anything.

              Also, are your nipples ok, sensation-wise?

                worse oversensitivity actually I think I need to try the TENS on them and see what happens. I have a neuropathic toe I’ve been meaning to do too.

                  Oh no, my spouse has problems with oversensitive nipples and it’s frustrating for both of us … fingers crossed for some respite if the TENS thingy works for you

        You might not have medically transitioned, but surely you socially transitioned in some way. Changed your name and/or pronouns? Altered the way you dress, perhaps?
