I guess I'm kind of confused -- by "on here" do you mean in this community, on blahaj.zone, or just on lemmy in general?

(I have not run into transphobia in any of those places, but I stick to a pretty small set of communities)

They've said they're paying out of pocket, though the only stat I've seen is that it's "significantly" more than $20 a month (which... could be basically anything lol.)

There's a thread here with that info: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/1106021

From what little I've looked into, it matters how much you keep down there if you later want a vaginoplasty (because it changes what they have to work with.)

Ironically, reddit has apparently blocked the r/anime bot. (Presumably related to all their api changes.)

Slightly related: I was looking recently at early issues of Dragon magazine on archive.org, and #3 has a section on women. The title is "NOTES ON WOMEN & MAGIC -- Bringing the Distaff Gamer into D & D".

It proceeds roughly how you'd expect from the title.

For 5e there is https://open5e.com/, although that is under the OGL.

Didn't WOTC end up releasing that under a creative commons license?

For me, what helped initially was not to focus on whether I was trans or not, but on specific questions like whether I wanted to start HRT.

Because when I read the list of changes it caused, none of them seemed bad, and many seemed really desirable!

That helped reduce my dilemma from a complicated question of "identity" ("Am I trans? Am I nonbinary?" etc), to a more specific choice I could proceed with.

less painful,

I actually found laser way, waaaay more painful -- and that was with more than half my hairs turned white already. Electro was just a bunch of tiny pokes, while laser felt like someone repeatedly punching me in the face.

That said, I'd still choose laser over electro if I could have, since it's just easier/less hassle. (Quicker results, fewer treatments, my skin seemed to heal from it faster, etc).
