super random question but does anyone know if Billie razors are any good?? I've only ever used those cheap disposable ones(but they get used like every day for a month before they're thrown away). Honestly I'm tired of having to do ten passes to shave a small area, not even getting anywhere close to having a close shave, and having to deal with my skin being furious and everything hurting afterwards.

I've heard Billie razors are good, but honestly I know nothing about razors and which ones are good. I have really sensitive skin that hates when I shave, but I can't stand the feeling of it not being shaven. I'm broke as fuck so something around or less than $15 would be great. I'm not a fan of subscriptions so I planned on just getting a Billie one from Walmart and getting the extra blades when I need them.

I like that Billie isn't a giant company and is women owned, and they don't push into the stupid beauty standards and don't pressure you to shave if that's not your thing. But if there's a better or more affordable option that works well, I'd probably consider that instead.

thanks! :QueerCat_Trans:

I don't normally just post but I have to get this off my chest.
The last few months have been pretty hard for me.

I've had a mental breakdown, suicidal and hospitalised, lost my job because of it, possibly separating from my partner of 14 years and end up sleeping out of my car on occassions.

The only upside I had was I had bottom surgery even though I know I still can't get a GRC in my birth country of the UK because they don't recognise doctors reports from Canada.
And since I've used my new girly name on CVs the rate of IT employment reach out has gone down to nearly zero.

Also boot now, I can't even go visit my homeland without being told I'm a man now thanks to the UK supreme court and I feel like a refugee.
It might be hard to understand unless you've been an expat but you always normally have your homeland to count on.

If this isn't a suicidal/fml situation I don't know what is.
If anyone has any words of advice, I'm all ears as I'm totally lost even in a safe country.

THE FUTURE OF ANOTHER TIMELIME, Annalee Newitz. What if we took a more inclusive and expansive crack at Great Man Theory? Not your ordinary time travel.

WOUND FROM THE MOUTH OF A WOUND, torrin a greathouse. Self-described Trans queer cripple-punk poet pierces the reader with intense, visceral reflections.

Männlich? Weiblich? Transgender?

Tja genau, was bin ich denn? Und woher weiß ich das?

Diese Frage ist der eigentliche Grund warum ich hier bin – an diese Stelle vielen lieben Dank an @alex_w für all die vielen und langen Gespräche.

Fühle ich mich als Mann? Joa, warum nicht? Ich bin einer – als solcher geboren.

Fühle ich mich als Frau? Ich hab keine Ahnung, wie fühlt sich eine Frau? Jedenfalls fühle ich mich häufig genug nicht als Mann.

Bin ich heterosexuell? Nein, ziemlich Bi.

Wünsche ich mir manchmal in einem Frauenkörper zu stecken? Oh ja, und zwar in XYZ ;).
Warum? Frauenkörper sind so viel schöner. Alle! Außerdem sind die Klamotten schöner ;)

(edit - vergessen)
Hast du denn keine Kumpels? Ich habe tatsächlich nur Frauen um mich herum :D

Muss man dem Kind immer einen Namen geben? Ne, nicht zwingend, aber, ach, ich weiß auch nicht. Irgendetwas ist unbeantwortet in mir.

Wegen des Kopfkarussells täte es gut sich mit anderen auszutauschen. Und damit meine ich jedes Geschlecht.

Well, I'm back. #introduction
#genderqueer :potion_genderqueer: dà-anam 🧙 :rainbowinfinity: storyteller/beat poet making their way in the greasy underbelly of the 'net. #filk, #scifi, and thinking about #aviation are pastimes. #activism , #GroenLinks , #ClimateChange , #TransrightsAreHumanrights , stomping #antisemitism; #TikkunOlam means *everyone*.

I am Universalist with strong Old Celtic leanings, Jewish-adjacent, Baha'i-adjacent, my bestie is Christian, and my circle is generally eclectic, including at least one athiest. None of them try to *impose* their views.

I am also a former professional and current amateur journalist. Sources get cited, mistakes corrected; I invite you to do likewise.

Love wins, hate gets used for a DANCE FLOOR. Can't stop the :signal:

AND MY INTRO FITS IN ONE! Thanks, #hachyderm !! It's good to be back.
