Thank you, Mico.
I come to all women on these forums with only the most burning question:

Hey Gay guy here and this may be my first post here and it may be sucky cause iām bringing up people being shitty. Please tell me if this post should go somewhere else or just remove it.
So Iām into Powerlifting and recently a well known Powerlifter with a podcast decided to do one on Transgender Athletes.
On the video below & itās comments the powerlifters
Podcast/youtube is here if you want it
It was upsetting right from the get go, first off itās just two guys discussing transgender athletes in Powerlifting & Olympics, one of the guys is clearly just upset his wife lost a competition and they keep referencing studies and then saying āIāll put links in the commentsā instead of the info panel which is full of advertising shit.
Iāve more issues with the video but honestly this sort of stuff makes me weary of the powerlifting community. Like at numerous competition iāve been to everybodyās super friendly and helpful but with stuff like this it makes me wonder if a lot of folks are really this friendly until LGBTQ issues come up and then attitudes change drastically.
Iām heading to a LGBT Competition in London and honestly Iām hoping to find folks to maybe chat about stuff like this.
Again sorry for bringing this up itās just been on my mind a ton.
That stuff makes me wonder what would have happened if I hadnāt quit martial arts. And just in general, really; what would the people I used to know think of me now? āComing outā is an everyday thing, etc. I guess Iāve been a mix of lucky and strategic in who Iāve come out to, especially since most of my queerness isnāt visible. Canāt imagine how anxiety provoking it must be to be a part of an athletic space without knowing if people would be shitty if they just knewā¦
Keep us updated on the London competition!

If anyone has a contact with ScurvyKip, sheās in a downward spiral and could desperately use some assistance. Weāve tried getting her to call a help line but sheās waving it all off and cutting communications.
Any news on ScurvyKip?
SkurvyKip continues to be active on the Discord.
Headin to Gaymer X East in like two weeks, it should be fun.

Anyone willing to share the broad strokes of how they got into HRT if itās not too personal? I could probably look it up, but Iād like to hear a tried-and-true method before I take any steps myself.
I live in Illinois, so a lot of the Planned Parenthoods here are informed consent clinics for trans-related things.
Iām fortunate in that it didnāt take much effort to get on HRT. A few questions and a blood test and I was good to go.
In Illinois here as well, and yeah I was planning on going through a Planned Parenthood about an hour away since otherwise Iād have to go to chicago, which is also about an hour or two away. But I want to get a job first so I can get insurance and income to help pay for HRT, which to my understanding is relatively cheap.
