K (189?–?) Soviet pioneer. From Kazan, Tartarstan, USSR, K was diagnosed as a ‘transvestite’ in 1937.

She was given permission by the People’s Court to wear female clothing, her identity papers were changed to her female name, and her name was removed from the military recruitment rolls.

She was featured in a 1957 gynaecology textbook.

      Hey comrades just some food for thought:

      Previous megathreads have had the date structure of Nov 12 to Nov. 19 or similar, where as we now have what may look spiffy, it is read by a text to speech generator as ten twenty eight to onehundred and thirteen.

      so while its not only in a date format that’s backwards to people outside usa, its also potentially real confusing for people with limited vision

      i think for archival purposes as well, itd be good to standardise this, the previous Month, XXth was a good compromise (I’d also favour including the year)

      I guess this impacts the date structure in the above comment too.

      probably a discussion to be had on the matrix, for people who are more actively doing the work

        Probably a good idea for the future, and you make a very good point about adding the year for archival purposes. Even if not standardized, I’ll make sure to add the year on my next mega fidel-salute

          I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about making my public online presence as accessible as I can lately, its an unhill battle

          I guess the posts are dated, but its easier to search them with date tags :)

    One part of being trans that I don’t like is how much time you have to spend on your transition, and how it takes away time for other stuff. I went to a laser appointment today, and then I had to pick up my Finasteride, and then I had to sign a document for starting HRT appointments, and put the next appointment in my agenda and then I had to research if it will be covered by insurance and what I exactly have to do to get the costs insured, and put the deadline for payment in my agenda.

    This was today. I have a school deadline in a couple of days and I couldn’t work on it yet today.

    She (context) said on a voice recording:

    “You’re so cute. I’m gonna try and get some sleep, and I’ll speak to you soon. I hope you’re okay; I hope you have a good day. I love you! Byebyebye!”

    God damn, my face lit up. I feel so, oh my God, I don’t even know how to describe this feeling…

    Update on the girl I’m kinda crushing on, I think I maybe messed up. I met her for coffee today, and at one point I was telling a story and she interjected just to tell me I’m very cute, so maybe that means she’s interested in me too. But because I’m a loser I didn’t know how to respond so I just looked down and smiled and kept yapping and now I’m worried that if she was flirting, she might think I’m disinterested or rude because I didn’t reciprocate.

    cw: transphobia/homophobia, unhinged parents, vent

    Listening to my mom go on and on about how queer and trans folk need to be thrown into mental institutions because “they want to get extra privileges that ‘normal’ people don’t even have to accommodate their disgusting lifestyles” and other things like “they’re trying to rewrite our language by saying we’re not allowed to say things like queer or [insert slur], like they’re just words grow up!”. Like please hasan-stfu, I am begging you for the sake of my mental health
