  • The part that this headline skips over is that it’s followed by 5 hours of pricing that are 3 times the regular rate, and then the rest of the day is a rare slightly under the old rate. The expensive rate kicks in between 4pm and 9pm, which is pretty much when the solar supply eases off and dries up.

    If you work from home, it’s possible to shift some of the big load equipment to early afternoon, but some, like ovens and heaters aren’t so easy to shift. You really need to do the maths to see if it works.

    If you’ve got a battery, you’re in a better position, because you can use your own solar and/or the free hours to top the battery up, and then draw on it during the expensive hours. Our battery isn’t quite big enough to carry us through 5 hours, but it gets us most of the way there, so the maths made it worth us to change to the new tariff.

    Because you are trans yourself, and are clearly working through your own stuff, I’m not going to ban you for merely holding transmed beliefs. You’re welcome to talk about those beliefs and your experience with them in terms of self acceptance, especially in an effort to challenge and dismantle them. Where it becomes an issue is if you express those beliefs in a form that invalidates other trans folk. That’s a single strike ban. No warnings.


  • A trans med is someone who believes that all trans people have crippling dysphoria and need or want gender affirming surgeries. They believe that trans people who don’t fall in to those categories aren’t really trans.

    It normally comes from having a lifetime of dealing with crippling dysphoria, where gatekeeping of trans identities is normalised. You see a lot of it in 4chan communities, but also in conservative countries that gatekeep who can and can’t access transition care.
