I'm sorry I thought the headline was funny

The picture is from like page 2 (or "page 4") of chapter 2 of the Esperanto translation of Sailor Moon on Mangadex.

Esperanto estro ("leader") is from the productive suffix -estro ("leader of..."), itself from Italian maestro ("master").

I'm frankly curious how much of a coincidence this really is, though. I can rule out the "es" parts in estrogen and maestro being cognate, but I don't know about the "tro": in maestro the "tro" traces to PIE -teros (forms contrastive adjectives), whereas in estrogen the "tro" traces to...... Well, no online etymological dictionaries want to say! So it seems possible but not super likely to be from that same PIE suffix.

The word estro also shows up in Italian, Portuguese and Spanish as a regular reflex of Latin oestrus, and interestingly enough Wiktionary also tells me that estro is a word in Galician meaning "oven floor" or "animal bedding", cognate to English stratum.

I want to give surveys to a large sample size of users while filtering out bots and without compromising the privacy of the actual survey respondents. I figure a lot of the people whose voices need to be heard will have legitimate fears of being hunted down.

Traditional captcha is easy for AI to crack, but reverse captcha should hypothetically be more difficult.

My intention is to randomly generate a set of alphanumeric characters with each instance of the survey, and request the user to draw the characters as best as they can. The resulting answer to the "captcha" would be saved with the rest of the form data, alongside the randomly generated characters for that instance of the form. The idea is to exclude blank and nonsensical responses, as a quick-and-dirty bot filter. ![thonk](https://hexbear.net/api/v3/image_prox

idk as valentines day is coming around i feel especially lonely, but trying to date would open up a whole other can of worms.

To make sure someone would be attracted to me as I am now and as I (hopefully) will be, they'd basically have to be bi. But that feels like a very weird requirement to put out there... plus the idea of having to identify as a guy in a dating app is not an appealing one. this sucks.

Hopefully starting estrogen and spiro in March :)

I finally have a whole week free because my exams happened to be right after another. I've decided to start medicating myself because I've lost all hope in this country's (netherlands) medical system.

It would literally be cheaper and faster for me to hitch a ride to some European country (by train) and get hormones myself from some pharmacy instead of waiting here for prescription drugs that my insurance won't even cover (because it is not a Dutch insurance, but a European one. Didn't even know about that complication until it was too late). Not to mention the absurdly high costs for consultations and everything.

Do any of you comrades have any experience buying hormones in a European country? I know that in the netherlands, pharmacies will pretty much give you nothing without a prescription (which my GP isn't willing to give). I've heard that in Spain getting hormones over the counter is possible.

I know that ordering online us a possibility, but I am honestly quite scared of s

If we have to, we'll do the surgeries on eachother ♡

They also taught people or to load and shoot an AR 15 after lol

Deputy government spokesman Anukool Pruksanusak said the ministry is supporting the government's policy on marriage equality by emphasising not only physical health care but also mental health protection for sexually diverse individuals.

During its budget planning for 2025, the National Health Security Board has approved 145.63 million baht to provide health services, including hormone therapy, for transgender citizens. This allocation aims to provide care for about 200,000 transgender patients.

I do wonder what the process is like for getting your HRT funded, though.

Hiiii!

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

I just wish I was dating him or something instead of being stuck in his body.

God really needs to get their act together and fix their buggy body generation code.

I got a referal to a gender specialist clinic. The waiting time for children to receive care is 2.5 years. The waiting time for adults isn't even listed (I somehow doubt its less than for children, since the kids need it sooner). I'm cooked.

Note: I was writing this text throughout the past week. Yesterday Trump signed an executive order (Erin Reed breaks it down here) which forbids changing one's appearance to conform with the “opposite biological sex”. I spent all my big words in the text. TL;DR Bathroom bans are an entry point to criminalizing being trans, which now must be crystal clear that it was.

Two common comebacks with which trans advocates respond to respond to the scourge of bathroom bans are the following: On one hand, it is not feasible to confirm people’s assigned sex for an act so mundane as visiting a public restroom. On the other, enforcing the bans cause cisgender people to be questioned and harassed if they do not meet expectations of how a member of their assigned sex should look like.
