Slovenski prevod // Slovenian translation:

MORAŠ razširiti, kako izgleda tvoja mentalna podoba ženske, da lahko napreduješ mimo trans/mizoginije in interseksizma. Ko končno sprejmeš, da "ženska" nima določenega videza ali zvoka, se osvobodiš verig oboje partiarha in radfem idealov. "Ženska" ne pomeni suho, lepo, brez dlake, tiho, velikih prs, figuro peščene ure, šibko, podrejeno, visoko glasno ali majhno.

Ženske lahko in že zgledajo, se obnašajo in zvenijo kot karkoli. Cis, interseks, trans, butch, nebinarni, spolno neskladni, detrans ali karkoli drugega: katerakoli ženska lahko zgleda, se obnaša in zveni kot karkoli. Smo toliko raznoliki kot katerikoli drugi člani te populacije. Da bi to priznali, moramo opustiti koncept, da "mora" ženska zgledati, se obnašati ali zveneti kot karkoli.

you HAVE to expand what your mental image of what a woman looks like in order to progress past trans/misogyny and intersexism. when you finally accept that "woman" does not have a set look or sound, you free yourself from the chains of both patriarchy and radfem ideals. "woman" does not mean thin, pretty, hairless, short, quiet, large breasted, hour glass figured, weak, submissive, high voiced, or small.

women can and do look, act, and sound like anything. cis, intersex, trans, butch, non binary, gender non conforming, detrans, or anything else: any woman can look, act and sound like anything. we are just as diverse as any other member of this population. in order to acknowledge this, we must let go of the concept that a woman "should" look, act, or sound like anything.

Slovenski prevod // Slovenian translation:

Pošilja me, ko mi radfemi rečejo, da si ne smem praviti dyke, ker sem trans moški. Ja, povej to moji mami, sestri, bivši najboljši prijateljevi/ljičevi_ mami IN bratu, neštetim neznancem in skoraj vsakemu sošolki/cu, ki sem jih kdaj imelo. Vidi, če bi poslušali in mi nehali praviti dyke. Moja mami je bila prva oseba, ki mi je pravila dyke- uporabila je izraz bulldyke, nič manj. Sploh nisem bilo še najstniško, ko mi je začela praviti bulldyke in butch dyke. Mislim, da mogoče, samo mogoče, sem dovoljeno povrniti žaljivko. A kdo sem jaz, da vem, sem samo oseba, ki sem živela svojo izkušnjo in so me imenovali s to žaljivko za prvih 21 let mojega življenja. Nekako, sem jaz tukaj problem in ne desetletja transfobov in lezbofobov, ki so napadali mojo osebo.

Dyke takrat, dyke zdaj; sem veliko debelo jebeno transmaskno bulldyke in je G. Dyke tebi.

it sends me when rad fems tell me not to call myself a dyke because im a trans man. yeah tell that to my mom, sister, ex best friend's mom AND brother, countless strangers and nearly every classmate i've ever had. see if they would've listened and stopped calling me a dyke. my mom was the first person to ever call me a dyke- she used the term bulldyke, no less. i wasn't even a teenager yet when she started calling me a bulldyke and butch dyke. i think maybe, just maybe, i'm allowed to reclaim that slur. but who am i to know, i'm only the person who lived my experience and got called that slur for the first 21 years of my life. somehow i'm the problem, here, and not the decades of transphobes and lesbophobes attacking my person.

dyke then, dyke now; i'm a big fat fucking transmasc bulldyke and it's Mr. Dyke to you.

Transhet ljudje so naravnost čudoviti. Strejt trans ženske & strejt trans moški imajo prelepo izkušnjo. Strejt aro in ace ljudje so še zmeraj kvir in živijo kvir življenja.

transhet people are absolutely lovely. straight trans women & straight trans men have a beautiful experience. straight aro and ace people are still queer and live queer lives. straight non binary, genderqueer, gnc, bigender, genderfluid, intersex, two spirit and other queer people are a blessing to our community. any straight queer person belongs, no matter what. cis people can be queer, so can straight people. queer hets belong all the same

Vprašanje: Mogoče je to neumno vprašanje, ampak a se naj T-gel vtre v kožo, ko ga apliciraš a bi ga jaz le mogel/la/_ namazati? Pred kratkim sem prešel/la/_ na gel po mesecih muk z injekcijami torej je bila danes moj prva aplikacija in sem se bal/a/_ da sem se mogoče zmotil/a/_ (še posebej ker je bila moja zadnja injekcija 31. …) Odgovor: Živjo, dobro vprašanje! Namenjen je, da se vtre v kožo! Morali jo boste zmasirati v kožo dokler se ne čuti ve�� mokro, če boste pustili, da ostane na površini kože, bo začel kar hitro izhlapevati, ker je gel na osnovi alkohola in boste izgubili veliko zdravila. Veliko zdravila se bo tako tudi izgubilo, ker se bo preneslo na oblačila in druge površine. Ne potrebuje veliko drgnjenja, samo prepričaj se, da tvoja koža ni več mokra na dotik in če ste še zmeraj zaskrbljeni po tem, lahko dodaš plast losjona po tem, ko ste ga vtrli v kožo in se ne čuti več mokro, da lahko naredi pregrado med zdravilom in tvojim oblačilom ter drugim površinam. Ko začneš jemati HNZ (hormonsko nadomestno zdravljenje) v novi obliki, je le normalno, da še ne veš, kaj počneš prvih nekajkrat, ko ga vzameš. Gotovo se spomnem, da sem bilo sprva zelo nervozno o delanju svojih injekcij, prvo sem celo dal svojemu/ji najboljšemu prijatelju/ci/_ za naredit, ker sem bilo tako zaskrbljeno, da bi ga zamočilo. V redu je! Na srečo so spremembe od HNZ namenjene, da pridejo kar počasi, torej četudi nekajkrat ‘zamočiš’ je še v redu. Dokler vtrete gel v kožo dokler ni več mokro na dotik, bi morali biti v redu! Če imaš še kakšna vprašanja, kar vprašaj! Srečno na tvoji poti!

This might be a silly question but is tgel supposed to be rubbed in when applied or was I just supposed to just swipe it on? I recently swapped to gel after struggling with injections for months so today was my first shot and was fearful that I might have goofed up (even more so given my last injection was on the 31st...)

hello good question!

it's meant to be rubbed into the skin! you'll want to massage it into the skin until its no longer wet feeling, if it's let to stay on the surface of the skin it will begin evaporating pretty quickly due to the gel being alcohol based and you will lose a lot of the medication. a lot of the medication will also get lost this way by being transferred on to clothing and other surfaces. it doesn't take much rubbing, just make sure that your skin doesn't still feel wet to the touch, and if you're still concerned beyond that, you can apply a layer of lotion after you have rubbed it into your skin and it no longer feels wet to help create a barrier between the medication and your clothes and other surfaces.

i think when someone starts taking HRT in a new format, it's only natural to not know what you're doing for the first few times you take it. i certainly know i was very nervous about doing my own injections at first, i even had my best friend at the time do my first one because i was nervous about messing it up. it's alright! luckily the changes from HRT are supposed to come on pretty slowly so if you do 'mess up' a few doses it's alright. as long as you make sure to rub the gel into your skin until it no longer feels wet to the touch, you should be good! if you have any more questions feel free to ask! good luck with your journey!

Odlomek iz “Original Plumbing” publikacije za in od transmasknih ljudi: “V San Fransiscu imamo na splošno odličen dostop do hormonov in primarne oskrbe. Večino fantov ni v SF, zato so lahko nekateri njihovi glavni zdravstveni problemi dostop do kompetentne primarne oskrbe in iti na T. Res mislim, da je glavni problem za nas duševno zdravje, ter vidim dostop do hormonov in operacij kot probleme v zvezi z duševnim zdravjem, ker se lahko počutiš tako noro, ko potrebuješ tiste stvari in jih ne moreš dobiti. Potem je izolacija, ki veliko izmed nas čuti, in zadeve v zvezi s telesno podobo, depresijo, anksioznost in pomanjkanja družinske podpore. Pa tudi nadlegovanje, ko ne passaš in živiš nekje, ki ni lih hip do kvirov; nadlegovanje na dnevni osnovi ti lahko res da težave z duševnim zdravjem, če jih nisi že imel! To govorim iz izkušenj. Revščina in pomanjkanje dostopa do služb in izobraževanja in stanovanja preprečuje veliko trans fantom, da bi bili zdravi, tudi, in seveda te težave nesorazmerno vplivajo na trans ljudi marginaliziranih ras.”

Excerpt from "Original Plumbing" publication for and by transmasculine people:

"In San Fransisco overall we have great access to hormones and primary care. Most guys aren't in SF, so some of their main health concerns may be access to competent primary care and getting on T. I really do think a primary issue for us is mental health, and I see access to hormones and surgery as mental health issues because you can feel so crazy when you need those things and can't get them. Then there is the isolation a lot of us feel and body image stuff, depression, anxiety, and a lack of family support. Also harassment when you aren't passing and you're living somewhere not all that hip to the queers, the harassment on a daily basis can sure give you mental health issues if you didn't have them already! I say that from experience. Poverty and lack of access to jobs and education and housing prevent a lot of trans guys from being able to be healthy, too, and of course those issues disproportionately impact trans people of color."
