Lime(stone) Trans Megathread from April 14th, 2025 to April 20th, 2025

Limestone is a common type of sedimentary rock which I find uncommonly interesting! It's mostly calcium carbonate, which is also what eggshells 🥚, seashells 🐚, and pearls 🦪 are made out of.

In places where it rains a lot, limestone erodes easily, which results in simply gorgeous landscapes such as:

Hạ Long Bay in Vietnam

Tsingy de Bemaraha National Park in Madagascar

The Li River in China

Additionally, the world's longest (Mammoth) and deepest (Veryovkina Krubera is once again the world's deepest cave, thank you to SockOlm for pointing that out) cave systems are both found in limestone formations

Mammoth Cave in the United States

Veryovkina Cave in Georgia/Abkhazia/Russia (disputed territory)

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

  • I visited my friend in [large city] and went walking/clothes shopping and got so many compliments on my fit from people just walking down the street

    I ended up spending two hours in one shop chatting with the very ND owner and trying on almost everything. I think they were hitting on me but I'm also ND and kept telling myself they were just being nice because they want to sell me clothes. But then they gave me a hug when I left

    Next time I visit my friend I'm going back to that shop and asking for their number (maybe, idk, sounds scary).

  • getting on HRT is like installing a virtual machine

    getting on HRT is like installing a virtual machine

    idk where I'm going with this but it's true~

  • All my friends have made up fake girlfriends so I think I should get in on the bit too, seriously number of them have committed to the bit to the point I worry.

  • ::: spoiler kink

    My domme had to stop our scene today right as I was getting down into subspace, and it was so abrupt and it gave me such whiplash. She sat with me a moment but left soon after. I understand why she needed to stop but fuck im just in such a weird headspace rn. Feel discarded and it hurts.

  • Dreamt I was living in a house with other hexbears, it was so cringe I had to resort to playing

    adventure 1 to self soothe. Also I was part machine that's whatever since I found some cool bonus content in that game

  • Oh my god I need to feel more fem/like a woman

    Hopefully I can do my nails soon I guess. And I'll get access to hrt soon- still worried about actually starting though. So, so worried. Going to go cry myself to sleep. Goodnight mega.

  • Yesterday's transfem spicy noodle challenge made me realize once more that there's two types of trans girls:

    • can't handle any amount of spicy, makes me want to protect her from roaming pepper corns wandering into the area
    • loves spicy and makes me want to egg her on to try more of the good stuff

    Oh and then there's chili fox girl who just seems to be immune to capsaicin. I was crying and blowing my nose nonstop from my noodles and had a spot below my lips that actually got a little chemical burn and she did not only have the same amount of the hot sauce, she also put the carolina reaper powder on it that she likes to bring along and she didn't even break a sweat.

  • Attended a protest here in the UK about the recent ruling. Good times, was a nice show of solidarity between trans people and local allies and other queer communities.

  • Do people ever go from prescription to DIY HRT? I'm thinking of doing so. I'm on prescription, but I already have all the stuff I need to start DIY, and I'm not happy with the prescription system rn, so I'm thinking on just switching already. There's:

    • the general inconvenience of dealing with bureaucracies to sign off on your shit every few months. the very last refill involved me going back and forth with the doctor and pharmacy for a few days before I could pick it up.
    • the awkwardness of picking up estrogen as someone who still presents male in public. I guess this will theoretically go away when I eventually start making more changes in how I look...
    • I temporarily got cut off last week because the people running PP AZ are a bunch of hoes for trump, and I don't trust that this won't happen again in the long term. To me, this to me is the strongest reason.
    • Price - I pay like $33ish per month for what I'm prescribed, but a $75 vial of injectable estradiol should last me at least 6 months, if not more.

    I'm probably still going to stick with PP so I can get blood tests, and advice, and prescriptions for other things as needed (like progesterone if/when the time comes, or estradiol if my DIY sources abruptly shut down).

    Also if I do switch, should I bother getting hormone levels tested right before switching? I'm due for the first one since I started only a few months ago, but I've read that switching methods can change hormone levels, so I feel like whatever measurements I might get would be meaningless in the long run if I switch.

  • vegan mac and cheese boxes are nice but same issue that regular mac and cheese in that the flavor to noodle ratio is way off, have to add more noodles to balance it out

  • any other trans women develop an extremely limerent obsessive relationship with an exceptionally pretty girl in high school who barely gave two thoughts about you to the point where it emotionally destroyed you back when you were a repressed egg or was that just me?

  • I have yazidi acquaintances in my area (not gonna tell more than that for opsec) who yesterday told me they were celebrating Easter excitedly. Any comrades know much about Yazidi culture/Religion wanna help me find some sources to understand this a bit better? They're super nice, and I'm sure they'd explain if I asked, but I'm kind of embarrassed to know them so long and just now realize I know less about their religion than I thought. And Wikipedia is useless, and other sites that come up on Google are giving very conflicting information.

  • hitting up different FFS surgeons for consultations and asking them increasingly absurd requests for what to do with my face just to see what I can get away with because I'm bored

    "okay yeah, feminize everything about me EXCEPT my jaw and chin. give me a super defined, broad jawline like those gigachad meme and make my chin stick out like the crimson fucking chin"
