For Djing I love to use Mixxx, really solid for mixing and organising music, though I still need a VM with rekordbox if I wanna prepare usbs for club equipment. For music making I like Cardinal which is similar to VCV rack and I do compostion with reaper. Overall the proaudio pacakge group of Arch linux will have most of the stuff you need. For interfaces most class compliant usb interfaces are fine. I control them with qpwpgraph, though I want to try out firewire sometime soon since its legacy and getting reeeeaaaallly cheap second hand

Yes you seem to get it!

Resocializing is also a big part of transition for many Trans people, becuase the world around you is literally starting to treat you different and expecting you to exhibit certain behavior. Navigating that can be difficult but also so fullfiling.

You trying to tell me what my experience of this world was and is like is really rude and ignorant.

Like obviously I adopted some bad/toxic behaviour of people treating me like a man but you can unlearn that, be better.

Silly example: lots of men do not wash their hands after using the toilet, it is in male circles generally accepted as normal behaviour. When transitioning I very quickly washed my hands everytime, because of how normal it is for all women in the bathroom to just wait their turn to wahs their hands...

Am I now "feeeemale socializeeed" wahahahahha?

No I would not even say so.

female and male, in this context, are used to mostly describe the bad manly and good womanly behavior.

This bad male behavioral traits however, you will notice are not exclusive to men in your life. If a cis women is speaking up loud and interrupts other people (and there are those that do this) you would not call them male socialized but obnoxious, inconsiderate and loud. There is literally no reason why you should not just call out bad behavior for what it is, rather than to blame a persons asigned gender at birth for it.

Just do not push your ideals of gender on the behavior of people, judge them by their character.

The term "male socialized" is mostly used to try to split trans and cis women appart. People that use this word basically use the logic men are bad, and they behave bad, and if one (trans) woman was treated as a man before they adopt that behaviour.

This is just a way to basically call trans people their Asigned gender at birth without really doing so.

People tried to "socialize" me as male a long time and guess what? It did not work. Like I was and still am a woman. The thing I rather say when talking about that concept is that people treated me as if I were male.

I am currently on Gynokadin as well with testo blockers though.

If I would be in the situation of having 6 cans of gynokadin and no other acces to hormones I would probably do the following

In my experience Gel is not so easy to get right there is stuff you have to watch out for, putting it on the right spots, switching spots, not getting clothes on too soon, getting a feel for the area needed.

I feel like the postive effects from E did take a lot longer to set in than the positive effects of not having testosterone in my system (which is a lot more easy with blockers) .

If taking mono therapy I would probably start on 4-6 pumps per day doing 2-0-2, 3-0-2, 2-0-3 or 3-0-3 but this will likely not be sufficent for T suppresion (I would look into scrotal application for that). If I could acces it I would get bloodwork done. The bottles should last about 4-6 month but I am not so sure about that.

The route over a private clinic would probably be better. I think starting with a professional is generally better and if it wont wake too long, I would just try to hold on. Also if I was going to a professional and am already on some hormones I would communicate that or stop 3-4 weeks before your appointments so my levels are "normal" I guess. they could underdose me otherwise. I would also look for info on transfemscience.org for tapering down and doing DIY in general

I am not a healthcare professional and my writing is based on my own experience with the product, I am just saying what I would do in that hypothetical situation and this should not be taken as medical advice

transfemscience.org is generally a good ressource

I heard some surgeon use a chemical based permanent hair removal on the inverted part of skin tissue. But I just heard it second hand.

Like I know gain matching, but on your channels the Volume is constantly redlining like how does it not clip then? Like I dont really get the logic behind that working. I see that the Master does not clip. Do these Controller only have a limiter on the master and the channel redlights do not really mean something?

on [MIX] Braindance Roundup 19 · c/idm · 1 pts · 81d

Cool set, but I wonder why you basically mix with your trim and have your eq on 2 o clock all of the time. Do you want like everything to clip and be more distorted or why? Sound engineers in the club would hate you ahahah. Like it kinda boogles my mind that this still sounds good musically.

I used to use two different surface pro 5s with linux surface kernel arch and KDE. The first one worked really well even with pen input and I really liked the form factor, after this device got stolen I bought another surface 5pro but this time I could not get pen input to work properly. You just run into weird bugs with these deices. Pen input worked with some hacking but then later it didnt work again. If you catch a device that works its really nice if not you loose some functionality

Hi I am on 4 Months of HRT and have had a lot of similar feelings. I feel like for me the first and second point of yours, at least for me, are inherently linked.

When I still had Testosterone in my system and my sex drive activated my physical body got actual satisfaction of topping people which was why I didn't really mind it. I didn't especially like it but when my partner wanted it or I was very horny it was still a way to recieve some pleasure I guess.

When I started HRT suddenly this biological satisfaction was mostly gone and I found myself not enjoying topping anymore. I spoke to a friend about it and they mentioned dissociation, which when I started talking about how I used to experience sex when topping with T in my system, it more and more started sounding like dissociation. At one point I realized that when I was topping I was giving away conscious control of my body cause I felt uncomfortable with it, my actual feelings were disconnected from what my body felt. My body got "some" amount of pleasure and I could give my partner pleasure so I used to cope with it thinking it wasn't all bad but reflecting it was never good for me.

As for surgery even if the first two points are true it does not mean that you have to get bottom surgery. Your life is not all about sex and sex isn't all about penetrating or getting penetrated, try out some stuff , experiment learn how you can feel your body and how you feel in your body.

Whichever path you choose I hope you will feel better with your body

No seriously I really enjoy smallweb and minimalistic web design. Even the weird experimental webenginges I use have no issue with your website and it is blazing fast as it should be. Fuck Javascript. Anyone who diverges from the ancient scriptures of html and css I consider as a sinner

As I have been surfing your site for quite a bit lately thank you really much for creating such a nice and enjoyable way to consume your media coherently!

Hab den Thread jetzt auch gelesen und finde das du die Situation etwas missrepeäsentierst. Ich glaube das Problem fängt mit folgenden Austausch an

u/luthis Go Iran! Fuck em up! …never thought I would be cheering for Iran. Broken clocks I guess u/Einhorn Why the fuck would you cheer for civilian victims? Sicko. u/atzanteol It's amazing how quickly leftists support was crimes so long as the victims are "the right people". u/Einhorn Must be """anti-zionism""" again.

Das Problem was hier entsteht das Diesen Benutzer vorgeworfen wird ein "leftist" zu sein ohne jegliche indizien. Ich habe mir den Account mal etwas genauer Angeschaut und konnte keine große politisierung feststellen. In den seltenen fällen das "politische" Meinungen von der Person gepostet wurde wurde es nicht radikaler als ein Hitler bad was ich jetzt nicht so wirklich links finde sondern eher Menschenverstand

das du dann auf den Kommentar von u/atzanteo mit

Must be """anti-zionism""" again.

geantwortet hast hat den "hate" gegen dich dann ausgelöst. Sich selbst als links wahrnemende palistinasolidarische Menschen fühlen sich angegriffen da ihre "linke Szene" mal wieder als Antisemitische linke deffamiert wird und somit auch oft deren linke Identität abgesprochen wird. Weil eine Person über deren politische Einstellung man nichts weiß in ein linkes propali Lager geschoben wird, nur um dann die gesamte Antizionistische bewegung als Antisemitsch darzustellen.

Ein finde ich besserer weg mit dieser Situation umzugehen wäre gewesen. Klar zu bennen das diese Person offensichtlich nicht stark links politisiert ist und die zuschreibung einer linken Szene Identität falsch ist.

Noch deutlich konstruktiver hätte ich es gefunden die u/luthis darauf aufmerksam zu machen das Nationalstaaten keine Fußballteams sind die angefeuert werden sollten und das man sich mit Zivilbevölkerungen solidarisieren sollte da Nationalstaaten generell abzulehnen sind.
