Transphobia at work?

So, I'm a transgender dude, I'm going to be starting T VERY soon (as in less than a month away), and I'm a little worried. I haven't heard anything blatantly discriminatory from any coworkers, but there's definitely been micro-aggressions that were either completely ignored or even perpetuated by the managers, and I'm worried that I'm going to be discriminated against once I start to change and get clocked. I'm very new (3 months) and want to avoid making enemies with anyone at all. Is there literally anything I could do other than just tanking any potential discrimination?

(BRISBANE/IPSWICH) Anyone know any good gender-affirming/LGBTQ owned hairdressers/salons/barbers?

I have NEVER EVER had a haircut that actually looked and felt masculine and good. Pixie cut galore. I'm hoping a queer-owned/focused place might give me something actually decent. I found Dolls and Sailors, they seem a little pricey, but they look like my only option.

Estimated timeframe and cost to start HRT?

(QLD) I have an appointment with a GP in a week, where I intend on getting an endocrinologist referral to reduce the cost of T in the long run. Does anybody have an estimated amount of time before I actually get the T? Like how many appointments there will be with who? (Like, how many with the GP and how many with the endo), as well as how much I can estimate it'll all cost (with Medicare). Sorry if this is a vague question, I'm going in completely blind.

How the HELL do you turn on commands.

Single player game, PS5. I do the whole L1+R1+Triangle+Square thing to get to the admin command text box. I try enablecheats, click admin command, nothing happens. Try spawning a raptor, nothing happens. Same spawn command but with cheat and admincheat at the start. Try the same thing on a non dedicated server. Nothing happens. What am I missing?????

How long should I expect my Astra to last?

Hello all! I'm proud to say my first car is a 2005 Holden Astra. I know she's old, but she's only just hit 80k kms and appears to have been very well maintained and rarely used by her previous owner. I plan on keeping on top of all maintenance required and just need her for basic city use/occasional highway driving. Doesn't have any issues at all from what me and my mechanic father can tell. How long should I expect for her to last before she starts having problems? I've heard Astra's are pretty reliable little beasts.

Favourite marketplace texture pack?

I recently purchased the "Visuals Refined" pack by Cubed Creations, and I love it. Still would like something that changes the actual textures rather than just lighting and a few small visual effects. Any suggestions for nice aesthetically pleasing ones?

How the hell do you explain being NB to parents?

Disclaimer: I personally am not non binary. I am a trans male.

So I recently came out as a trans man to my parents. My older sibling also came out as non binary. Unfortunately, our mother doesn't really understand the concept of gender identity at all ("it's apparently about feelings, but I just feel sad or happy or angry or tired, not girl sad or girl happy etc") and our father said that he thinks "kids have it so easy these days that they're making up new gender identities." I was lucky enough as a binary trans person to have them just basically ignore it and have a "as long as our child is happy, I'm happy" mentality, but they're really aggressive and in denial about my sibling being NB. How the hell do we go about explaining gender identities and the lack of confirming to either??

Suggestions for non-customer facing jobs?

I'm 18 years old, and started working at a fast food chain recently. Training is moving way too fast for me, I'm getting stressed out, and social anxiety I can't afford to treat is making it near impossible to talk to customers. I don't know how to use most of the major systems and am just expected to figure everything out, and it's impossible to find a time to talk to managers, so I think I'm going to look for a new job. Any suggestions for jobs where I don't have to talk to customers and don't REALLY have to talk to coworkers too often? Pay doesn't matter, as long as it's above $100 AUD a week.

Edit: Should also mention that I really really really suck with numbers, so any maths or technology focused jobs might be out of the question too. I can't afford nor mentally handle further education, so no degrees or training.

[QLD] How much should I expect to pay to medically transition?

Basically the title. I'm talking to my GP about starting HRT very soon and am planning to get top surgery in the future, but Google and different subreddits give me different answers every time. If you're a transmasc living in QLD currently on T, how much do you pay for it? What form is it in? Are there other appointments or specialists I need to consider? Should I wait until I have a better job? (making about $200/week total atm)

Parcel gone to another state?

Ordered something from China, tracking info says it was given to the local courier in Sydney. I am in Brisbane. I double checked my shipping information, and can confirm the delivery address is mine. Is this something I should be concerned about, or does this just mean I need to wait an extra day or two?
