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.)

I had kind of the opposite effect -- when I first switched to injections I was getting super-sleepy at the end of every 7 day cycle.
After talking to my doctor we switched to taking it every 5 days and it's been way better since then! So in my case upping the dose made me less sleepy.
What sometimes helped me with these things is to visualize doing them first -- to kind of run through what's going to happen in your head. You could even kind of write out a short script of what you're going to say, and practice it in your head!
Also, don't stress it too much if you back out a few times. I think I even got as far as starting to dial the number once before getting too anxious and abandoning it once. Because it's something you want to do, you just have to keep trying and eventually you'll be ok! :)
I imagine the vast majority are well-meaning people who just don’t really understand federation well yet and don’t understand they’re commenting on a totally different instance’s internal matter.
I wonder if the community id !main itself is causing some confusion? If this keeps on coming up, maybe moving meta to a more obvious name might work.
Don’t federate with that instance if you don’t like its views.
TBH, I find even this view kind of... foreign? It makes sense to defederate from instances that cause harm to the ecosystem (whether by hosting trolls or not guarding against spam) but I just don't think that "federation" should indicate "approval" in the way so many folk clearly do. Like, letting someone on gmail email me doesn't mean I approve of what google does.
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.
That doesn't make it less open source, though.
It's important to understand that those rules are now perpetually open and free to use/copy/modify. WotC truly relinquished any chance of trying to claw them back.
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?
That's always been my take too.
A tip I got at some point was that if you feel smug/self-satisfied about posting something, it's probably just better that you don't. Trying to win internet points by owning bigots is not making the world better, and it certainly never made me happy either.
But you do want other, uninformed folks to be able to see how flawed the bigots arguments really are, and if you have the energy its worthwhile putting that out there.
r/egg_irl had pretty strong rules about that too -- probably because you also have to deal with people uploading photos of others, and its way easier (given the focus of the place) to just ban them completely.
