Trans Megathread for the Week of December 2nd, 2024, to December 8th, 2024

Hi everyone and welcome to the new Megathread :) For my first Mega I want to share a special interest of mine: the magnetic field and how to understand its behavior intuitively.

I'm guessing most of us have played with magnets before at some point and have felt that mysterious force pushing them apart or pulling them together, depending on how the magnets are oriented toward each other. Some of you may have also seen diagrams like this (By Geek3 - Own work,This file was derived from: Ironfilings cylindermagnet.svg This file was derived from: Magnet compasses.svg, CC BY-SA 4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=88524982)

Or done an experiment where you visualize the magnetic field lines with iron filings like this (Public domain, Newton Henry Black, Harvey N. Davis (1913) Practical Physics, The MacMillan Co., USA, p. 242, fig. 200)

These lines represent the shape of the magnetic field. The way you can interpret them is that if you place a compass in the field, the compass will align with the field lines at that point. And the closer the lines are to each other, the stronger the magnetic field is in that area. Also, magnetic field lines always form closed loops. They appear to end at the poles of a magnet, but actually they continue on inside the magnet. They do however exit/enter the magnet at the poles.

"But Witchy," you may ask, "why are the lines so concentrated at the poles but then they spread out so much as they travel from one pole of the magnet to the other?" Excellent question my theoretical student XD.

This is I think the key point that was a bit of a eureka moment for me when I realized it a long time ago when I was studying this stuff: the magnetic field lines "want" to be as short as possible while also "wanting" to be as far apart as possible. And when I say want, it does actually behave a little bit like a desire, as the magnetic objects in this field will experience a magnetic force tryin gthe move the object to spread out the field lines and make them shorter.

Let's use this picture I grabbed from Wikipedia as an example: (By Geek3 - Own work, CC BY-SA 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=10555891)

the bar magnet creates a strong magnetic field at the poles, which means lots of magnetic field lines are squeezed closely together at the poles where they enter/exit the magnet. These lines don't want to be so tightly packed together, so they immediately start spreading out but also immediately start curving towards the opposite pole to try to keep the distance short. If you then try to bring the north pole of another bar magnet close to the north pole of this one, both have magnetic field lines coming out trying to get to their respective south poles, but now even more tightly packed together as you bring the magnets together. Since the magnetic field lines don't want to be so close together, both magnets experience a force pushing each other away so that the magnetic field lines aren't being pushed together so tight.

Similarly, if the south pole of one bar magnet is brought near the north pole of another, the magnetic field lines exiting the north pole of one want to go to the south pole, but the closest south pole is the south pole of the other magnet being brought close, so now the lines go through both magnets before looping back around: (By Geek3 - Own work, CC BY-SA 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=10515628)

However, between the closest poles of the two magnets, the lines are still concentrated but will try to spread out between the poles. Since the lines want to be as short as possible and don't want to spread out, the magnetic field exerts a force on the bar magnets pulling them together, since that would shorten the lines between the poles down to pretty much nothing.

Finally, a few of you may have been wondering what determines how much the magnetic field lines want to spread out vs shorten. These two tendencies are in opposition pretty much all the time, since spreading the lines out more requires making them longer. This is determined by something called the magnetic permeability which is a property of the materials that the field is passing through (even air or a vacuum). High permeability materials tend to concentrate the magnetic field lines more and allow them to get shorter, while low permeability materials tend to force the lines to spread out and lengthen. Examples of materials with high permeability are iron, cobalt, and other magnetic or ferromagnetic materials. Low permeability are pretty much anything that doesn't experience force in a magnetic field, so most things.

Anyway I hope some of you enjoyed this rant or find the information here useful. I can talk about magnets all day so feel free to hit me up if you want, though my inbox will be overflowing for the next week I'm guessing.

Enjoy the Mega!

@yewler@hexbear.net from last thread

::: spoiler spoiler

I think best case scenario is I find someone I consider to be my best friend ever and then start living with them and we just keep being best friends who maybe also cuddle sometimes. That actually sounds like heaven. I'm just bad at meeting and talking to people

Ah, that does sound nice! I know QPR (queerplatnoic relationship) is like a pretty broad term but I'm sure there are loads of people out there that are into sex-free domestic arrangements. I think it's been helpful for me to remind myself to just try to make connections with people and sometimes things kinda just click and suddenly you're chatting every day.

I struggle to start things with people, I get too in my head about it and like convince myself that they don't like me even before I try to DM them, you know? It's really a weak spot because I love people, hanging out with them, learning about their stuff, doing things together, but I struggle to feel anything but imposing.

There's something preventing that from fully clicking in my noggin though, and I'm trying to place what that is.

I think I can kinda relate to this - I went around and around in my head trying to label relationship things and try to fit them into boxes for a very long time, until my therapist showed me a chart that had everything you may ever want from a relationship on it, and you're meant to fill it out with possibly someone in mind etc. completely atomized desires like "emotional intimacy" and "sharing a house" and even divided out sexual things. It was helpful to me to kind of pick my own desires and then decide what the labels mean to me after. I can send you the PDF if you'd like, let me know...

This may just be my asexuality showing, but it's genuinely news to me to find out that flirting even has a sexual component at all for most people lmao

Ah, totally fair... I think I may have just gotten my ace card revoked today, actually (I am joking, this is an inside joke). I still do think I'm demisexual/demiromantic though, but I have some interesting surprising feelings I'm working through recently in that regard too that I didn't expect. :::

💔

I know I'm overreacting and being a big emo dweeb about this but I really just feel sincerely like I might just not be meant to have any real relationships

Every time I fall for someone for like a decade now, no matter how close I get to someone and how well I think things between us are going, it never gets off the ground and I end up getting hurt and self isolating and whatever friendship I'd built with someone withers away and it's always my fault and I'm just so fucking lonely and tired of getting hurt and beating myself up

I spent a long fucking time willing myself to get it together and get dressed and move on after my workout in the shower just glaring at my own reflection in the mirror and just fucking seething at myself

Eventually I noticed little things where I'm making progress and becoming less not-okay with my body

My hips look kinda nice? I dunno, it's like the me I want to be is some undiscovered artifact in an archaeological dig that's just barely peeking out from the dirt that's (gestures broadly) this and I'm not quite sure what it looks like but the more and more work I put into uncovering it, the more I can start to see the contours of what it might look like

I'm still very unhappy with myself and deeply frustrated with where I am physically, mentally and just circumstantially in general and it's hard not beating myself up for shit I can't do anything about now that's just wasted time behind me and trying to not torture myself thinking about what could have been, but from where I am now, I'm making a lot of effort to improve, and I guess that's all I can do

It usually doesn't feel like enough, but it is what it is

Sorry for being a downer heart-sickle

::: spoiler family crap, manipulation, suicide. Really probably skip reading this one. This one's kinda messed up and I'm just here to vent I guess I really want to cut my dad off. He's a manipulative fuck that hurts me to talk to. He royally fucked over my family and as a result none of my siblings talk to him anymore. It's his fault and he knows it and he's been trying to pick up the pieces ever since. He just called to try and guilt trip me into talking to my siblings and getting them to talk to him again. I told him no and that he should be glad I still talk to him and leave it at that.

But I don't want to talk to him anymore. It's so tiring. But the problem is I know for a fact that on some level he regrets what happened (though I'm not sure if he actually recognizes his own fault), and I'm also pretty sure he has thoughts of suicide. He thinks u by Kendrick Lamar is a healthy Christian response to being a sinner and that it's good to hate yourself. And he's told me twice that if it wasn't for God he would have killed himself already.

I had a friend in high school that killed himself, and I was strongly considering doing it myself in undergrad. It's such a sensitive subject for me. If I come across a post on here with a suicide CW I will not read it or it will probably ruin my entire day. If I cut my dad off and he kills himself because his last life line to what once was is now gone, it would destroy me.

I want to think about what's best for me, and I think what's best for me is to not have that trauma. :::

I made this edit recently and I find it kinda hilarious:

If you are interested in SciFi novels and gender theory you might find it funny too. I don't actually mean anything by it but the name is just too perfect not to take advantage of the opportunity it offers.

It was in a cardboard box for like 4 years, I swear it wasn’t this yellow when I put it there

being a trans woman, especially at "still pretty early" in transition is weird because i am a woman, i fully believe that, but at the same time I also feel like I'm just... Too new here to really say much about what it's like with any confidence? Like, I don't pass, and there's still a lot of femme experiences out there that I've just never experienced firsthand or really done so it's like "Yeah I'm a woman but also what does it mean to be a woman? What's it truly like? idk man I just got here"

::: spoiler incoherent rambling Smash cut to mental breakdown because even the site taglines are telling me to touch grass!! aubrey-embarassed

Which led me to the "imagine transitioning just to sit inside forever" but my brain did a thing: that shit's like, a fucking 4ch narrative. You do not transition (to whatever extent you choose) exclusively for the being-perceived benefits, it is for YOU. This brainworm has the idea that transition has to be something you do more or less for other people. That you have to like, go outside about it and it only matters if you go get gendered correctly in one of two (realistically this is a transfem meme) binary ways. Huh.

As life collapses at increasing speed my brain gets caught on shit like this constantly. I barely go out anymore, (somewhat an anxiety thing but largely a chronic pain/money/covid/etcetc issue) and so there are a decreasing amount of times where I even do gender interaction with the world at large. The funny indeterminate queer who tried to read my pins two years ago is kind of the last time anything went on, no I will not go anywhere near irl people.

I guess maybe I feel sort of like I did a decade and change ago, when I was scrolling the blue board, being depressed and dejected. Terminally inside, understimulated and gendersleepy. Just one of those things.

::: spoiler cw talking about a 4ch On the topic of blue board, I have so many feelings about it being a blueboard without a direct tan-board companion. Like it's queerphobia, but also having a nsfw board would be SUUUUCH a bad idea. I mean holy shit. But I've also seen people do basically puritanism with regard to the blue-board thing. Idk it probably doesn't bear thinking about but I do, sorry. :::

::: spoiler frustrated rambling There are days where I feel I love teaching, and then there's days like today when I put so much effort in only to be shat on by students. Is it patronizing to give study tips for a final that's coming up? I uploaded all of the quizzes we took this semester (we took one every week) as well as all of the keys I made and told them I recommended downloading quizzes they struggled with, timing themselves, and working them through without notes, and only once giving it a solid try going back and reviewing the stuff they missed. And I got so many eye rolls, and I heard one person behind me say "nah it's fine. he (I'm not out to my class) doesn't know who I am" and I turned around and they'd snapped a picture of me and were writing a caption for social media. I have one specific table that is great but it's like I did something for everyone else to hate my guts. I try so hard not to take this stuff personally but this semester has been so hard :::

Yukiko - 1.6yr

Well, it's official. I have to refresh my entire clothing lineup. It's not the worst. I'm just throwing out a bunch of Yetee t-shirts cause I'm a nerd, but absolutely none of them fit anymore aside from the ladies' 2XLs that I bought, which is very few. The XL shirts make me feel like I'm being constricted to death, which is a large amount of my clothing. I actually started to breathe heavier due to the constriction. But I need clothes and bras. The bras are going to be wildly expensive. I can only guess that there are few places that have bras that will properly fit my new breasts at this point. Probably pushing a G or H at this point, so it's going to be difficult af.

However, this is good because it means that, while I have a small nerdy ass lineup of shirts, I can finally get the witchy clothes I've been wanting. And I can also get cute af bras instead of just shopping clearance (mainly because clearance is simply no longer an option at this size). I just gotta wait for the tax return and I should be able to swing it since I just sunk good cash into the things making me get new clothes in the first place >w> At least I didn't lose too much time from work since it's WFH so that wasn't so bad.

I've been on this site for 3 months now, which is interesting in two ways. On the one hand, I've never been this active in an online community for this long. Three months is huge for me. But on the other hand, I actually love you all so much, and it's weird to think there was a time when I wasn't reading all your posts. Like what the hell was I doing 3 months ago???

::: spoiler Just random stuff about sleep Idk I cannot sleep anymore. Every night I lay down, close my eyes, and stare through my eyelids at the ceiling for an hour or two before taking 3mg of melatonin and finally passing out at like 4am. Please help.

Surprisingly it's not a chronic pain thing, it's probably Autism Brain. After midnight, my brain turns the fuck ON and into a constant monologue machine. I have spoken of this before but it is like, if my brain was that turned-on during the day I would get SO much done, think SO many thoughts and probably write a fuckton. Even when my brain is empty of thoughts, in 3am brainmode ANYTHING can start a tangent in there.

I have more than idly considered just going for it, doing 36 or 48 hour days to take advantage of this state, but I doubt my body would cope with that too well at this point. I want this state during the day.

Taking various anxiety meds did not help, an almost complete "detox" from online did not help, I am still cursed to only have my brain come on late at night and keep me awake. Idk if I'm beyond help at this point but I hate it.

I actually think I used to be like this, the After Midnight Brain, all the time, in the day. Back when I wrote fiction and shit every day. That was back in highschool though, what happened? :::

i have to put on jerma vods at night so i can sleep, can't be alone with my thoughts. i can strongly relate as sleep has always been a big issue for me too. i tend to just stay up until the point of exhaustion so i can be sure that going to sleep won't be a Whole Thing (not recommending this). i have found that weed helps me with it too. i hope you can overcome this phase and find something that works for you meow-hug

Sleebi weed niko-wonderous I really need to get down to the dudeweed store soon!!

Thenk u meow-hug

This is pretty much how it is for me, taking it like 15 minutes~ before laying down usually works well for me. Can't sleep without it, but couldn't when I started taking it either. I've also heard good things about cbd/cbn, but I don't know how available cbn is up there.

I may look, this is two points for sleep weeds in this thread c:

Beetle [hy/hym] - 1.6yr

Have you tried light therapy? It sounds like your sleep/awake cycle is off and you can realign it with light therapy. There are devices that you can buy with the right wavelengths but those are expensive and there’s a lot of bad ones on the market that don’t actually work so you’d have to do some research on finding the right one. Easier is going outside every morning for a few minutes. Before noon the bluey wavelengths of sunlight signal our brain that it’s daytime, and our bodies start producing hormones that make us energetic. A few hours after noon the sunlight is more orangey which signals our brain that daytime is going to end in a few hours, and our bodies start producing hormones that makes us sleepy.

For me this was a life changing lesson. I don’t go outside every morning, just a few days in the week to remind my body how the cycle goes. If it’s sunny a few minutes staring in the direction of the sun is enough. If it’s cloudy then 15 minutes should do it. Looking through a window is not enough, you have to go outside for it (or watch through an open window I guess but then you’ll be surrounded with less light than outside so it might take longer). Obviously don’t ever look directly into the sun, it can be tricky to find a right angle but I usually focus my eyes somewhere above the sun. You also don’t have to look in the direction of the sun, you can look at another direction but for a longer duration.

disgost Trying to make me touch grass yet again I see... what's out there for me huh.........

I am willing to entertain this one but getting dressed to go out every day sounds like a trial holy shit, so Idk.

Lol I totally understand the barriers. It kinda depends on how you live. But for me I just stand in front of the door to my appartement complex for a few minutes and I don’t bother dressing up too much. I notice the difference immediately though which helps me stay motivated to do it. Also I definitely don’t do it every day, maybe once in every 2 or 3 days. Every day is better but yeah sometimes I just want to stay inside.

Am I crazy or is nobody talking about the pissing. I'm not talking about the spiro pissing, I'm talking about the "I've had adrenal levels of testosterone in my body for a few years now and my prostate is the size of a rasin" piss. The "I gotta use the bathroom every 2 and a half hours or I will literally piss my pants if I chuckle" piss. Do you know what I mean? Like is this a common thing or am I actually just unlucky. And if it is common, why aren't u talking about it, and what can we done...

i was already like this before hrt lol it's about the same now. not on spiro though thankfully

WalrusDragonOnABike [they/them] - 1.6yr

Honestly haven't notice a huge change in my rate of peeing. But I also had a history of accidentally binge drinking water and then desperately needing to pee every 5-30minutes for the next two hours before HRT.

2 hours is very normal unless you're not drinking anything, but then you would eventually stop pissing. If your piss isn't radioactive yellow, I wouldn't worry about it.

Every 2 hours sounds about right when I'm drinking enough. 200mg Spiro/day. But I've also noticed I have to pee more when I'm losing weight which I'm noticing at the moment.

Honestly the amount of times I been mam'd on the phone makes it easy helping my mom out with stuff. I think overall my voice is pretty ambitious and if I can get over hearing my own voice I might get far with voice training. Being able to play around with people's expectations could be fun, I think most of my online friends didn't expect me to look like I do with the way I sound tbh.

ONLY TO FIND OUT MY PARTNER'S MUM WENT AND TOLD EVERYONE I'M TRANS AHEAD OF TIME "so they won't feel embarrassed while i'm there." jesus fucking christ - if they misgender/deadname me i'll correct them, if they're embarrassed because of that then fuck them not my problem

and to top that my partner's dad keeps calling me "man" while he calls all the cis-women "love", hasn't said my name once in the last 4 months since i came out (i don't think partner's brother has either?). it just hurts because they've always been more supportive than my bio parents, idk i thought he would be better than that

Not sure if this is the best place to ask but:

Anyone have any reading material for someone who just doesn't get gender? (Thinking more article length, not books, ADHD gang)

Idk what I'd call myself and I think part of the reason is I just plain don't understand what people mean when they say things like feeling masc cause it's just like what does that even mean??? I'm just doing me what do you mean something makes you feel femme? I reckon I'm some kind of not cis cause I don't think cis people spend much time thinking about it but maybe that's off base? Idk

It's confusing to me in the same way when I found out most people can see things in their head and it wasn't like people talking in metaphor

Anyway thanks you're all great don't let the world get you down but if you do have any links pls send it's a slow work day and I can feel the ADHD fixation coming on

::: spoiler CW: injection talk So, just failed an injection, but not in like a process way but as in I was concerned about air bubbles. In the process of being worried, I ejected more estrogen out just into the air to push the top bubbles out. Well, that worked but after I actually injected it, I realized that I accidentally pushed too much out. Would have been fine if I realized first and just pressed harder and held it, but nope pulled it out and then realized. And I'm not putting it back in with a blunt needle. So rip my hormone levels for the next week as I'd rather have too low than too high, but it basically feels like I got nothing so idk whatever this is stupid. Was also wanting to play games with friends but I took to long worrying about the injection and they all left. Guess I can catch up on arcane or whatever :::

Why yes I am still very gifted at memorizing the minutia of media that I like, and I do still think dinosaurs are cool as hell.

I'm burnt out and looking to climb down and off of the corporate ladder lol

i guess? idk I got kicked out of middle school gifted classes bcuz my undiagnosed adhd was in full gear and I never did any of the work i was assigned.

I still have the same qualities that got me into the gifted program as a kid, I still pick things up relatively quick, people still seem to think I'm clever/smart/whatever. How do you even measure this? Aptitude? idfk

I'm still good at school work I guess? That doesn't translate to a lot of other things though.

::: spoiler speedrunposting (got a completion! 17:33) Finally, on my 281st attempt ~~a little inflated because some runs get reset very quickly if I don't like my spawn~~ I beat minecraft in one sitting! I haven't been able to get obs to work so I only clipped the dragon fight. I got unlucky on a few big things, mostly the nether. Spawned kinda far from the bastion, and despite being the best bastion (bridge, both sides were tall so I got 6 chests. If a side is short you get 1 instead of 3. Chests are really important because they usually have obsidian). I only got 16 obby so no nether travel to the stronghold. It took me kind of a while to get to a blaze spawner too. I was low on food the whole time and ran out when fighting blazes, left on like 3 hearts. Because I didn't get enough obby to nether travel I had to boat 750~ blocks which is really slow. I did get an exposed portal room, which means I don't have to navigate the stronghold which is a huge help. I've lost like half a dozen runs to stronghold nav.

Then the end fight was really rough. I have hardly any food, and I was very shaky. I go to the wrong side of the pillar and use all 12 of my beds. I end on a single heart from all the bed damage.

But yea, feels really good to finally get a completion, hopefully I can get obs working so I can record the full runs in the future. I can definitely do better then this but I'm really happy with this one, my goal was sub 20 and obviously I did a lot better then that. Here is the dragon fight clip if you want to watch, its kinda rough like I said. :::

Crush's SO looks like someone who has to be reminded to wear deodorant before going to a MTG tournament, or to wash off Cheeto dust from your hands before you play the demo consoles at GameStop or something

Thanks for the intuitive explanation of magnetic field lines, it's really cool! I also like this maybe less intuitive explanation of why the magnetic force even exists at all: it's just a relativistic effect. Relativity and the electric force acting on moving charges (contracted relative to stationary opposite charges) create an electro static effect that appears like a new force called the magnetic force.

Of course relativity works both ways and electricity can be understood as a variant of magnetism or both can be understood as a mixture of two forces and relativistic effects.
