Hang out. Chat. Talk about what’s going on. Have fun :3
Starting SERMs to prevent breast growth which is typically what makes me quit HRT. Excited on the one hand, but nervous because they are poorly studied and understood. Worried I am going to do it wrong and really fuck myself up.
Every fucking time there’s an article on trans athletes, cis people just have to display their complete fucking ignorance and will either spread misinformation or act “concerned” (even on this very website) when plenty of research has been done on the topic to conclude that it’s a complete fucking non-issue. This discussion should’ve been moot years ago, but apparently it isn’t. It’s the one transphobic culture war battle that even so called “allies” keep falling for. Fucking tiresome.
white moderate my beloved
We must continue to hunt the cishets for sport. But they will complain about our unfair advantage in that too
God genital preferences are absolutely painful and kind of feel dehumanizing, even though I understand they’re valid
I’ve already internalized my bits as part of my identity so even though they’re not “supposed” to be what I identify with, it still hurts, like someone is rejecting my very self
What do you mean exactly?
EDIT: Ahh. This is the same struggle I had leading up to my egg cracking. Once I started to realize that the bits don’t make the person, the person makes the person, it helped me better internalize who I was. It ain’t easy. I dealt with this for years before I was able to accept it and really see it for what it was, but I eventually came out the other side a better woman.
sexual reference
I mean that someone I was sexting/RPing with basically dropped me because I had a penis and I didn’t want to change myself in the RP world to not have one. While I would normally love the ability to change my genitals at will doing it for someone else feels wrong.
Ohhh…yeah. That’s a major feels bad moment. I’m sorry you had to deal with someone like that. No one should have to go through that. :<
I’ve been feeling torn because I understand a lot of people have trauma around penises and stuff, and that even without that it’s valid, but it just sucked a lot

this ancient Reddit post is making me die inside. First comment is a shitton of upvotes basically saying nobody likes me or people like me. Death to all Reddit users

I genuinely don’t care for the approval of cis lesbians. like it’s because of shit like this that I only date/sleep with trans women at this point: there’s no point in trying to get with someone who will never see me as a human being worthy of respect
i feel like lesbians being transphobic is a bit of an unwarranted stereotype but that’s just because cis people in general are transphobic
Yeah, lesbians being transphobic is an weird narrative made up by straight, cis terfs. What the research actually shows is that cis LGBT people are much less likely to be transphobic than the straights, and cis lesbians in particular being the group most accepting of trans people.
That makes the amount of transphobic lesbians I’ve seen a lot darker though. How many transphobes are in the cis gay man community for instance???
you notice the transphobes a lot more than you notice the ones who are chill, the numbers are bad but they aren’t as bad as the transphobes want you to think
I believe you
i think I remember seeing some statistic that proved cis lesbians weren’t a more transphobic demographic than cis people, but I don’t feel like looking for it right now lol
Y’know 4chan’s /lgbt/ is a popular source of brainworms, but I think
will rise to prominence in the future as a major source for brainworms too. Awful place.
Holy shit actuallesbians was such a fucking hellhole.

Did you experience other issues with it? Most people talked about it as a very welcoming and open place in other subreddits and stuff, but to be fair those are also on Reddit
I mean it wasn’t like a terf place I guess, but I would say the linked thread is kind of representative of common attitudes? As much as you had lots of decent cis who wouldn’t need to face the wall, you also had shit like that not infrequently. Very clearly run by & for the cis imo.
I’m not reading that but honestly it’s just not true if that’s what it’s saying. There is a healthy population of bi/gay girls who like dick but not men. Evidence is my friend who is getting a lot of attention from these sorts of women and is loving it
thanks the assurance is helpful. Idk why Reddit users are like this
Yeah dw!!!
gay girls who like dick but not men
They are around for sure
communist gay girls who like penis solidarity may we find peace
what the fuck is wrong with me why did i write “men” at first do i still have gender = genital brainworms somewhere in my wretched skull
WHERE IS IT I NEEED TO GET IT OUT GET IT OUT
with the power of the human mind, we have hell right at home
Having to wait for hair to grow out to wax my face is not a good time
It’s fucking with my head. Before I started questioning my gender, I found all the progressive spaces that were for queer liberation.
Now that I’ve started to question gender, I’ve been stumbling across all sorts of queerphobic “communist” spaces: from irl parties, to telegram, discord, and “friends.” It really pisses me off, and I get interrogated about “being a liberal.”
on a side note: does anybody have any info on how to figure out if your trans or an egg or cis or anything?

Also here is some more context on one telegram experience in particular. Why are telegram channels like this??

Russia :yea:
yeah it sucks how many ostensibly good spaces are unsafe for queer people. for figuring out your gender I would reccomend just taking it easy. if you like being called a woman, great! if you like being called a man, great! if neither works for you, that’s also cool! it’s an ongoing process, so don’t feel like you have to commit to anything either.
There, you see it. Sticking out of the crowd. Monster Energy, pink can, Ultra Strawberry Dream flavor.
It’s the most trans girl energy drink you can imagine. You need one, now. Two, actually
It’s been a long day. The caffeine should be a fitting boost to finish it
[ENCYCLOPEDIA: EASY] SUCCESS- Standing before you on this shelf are scores of energy drinks, none of which will have any effect on your hormone levels whatsoever. Even if the can is especially pink
Don’t listen to Poindexter, this is the trans femme drink on the shelf, and it’s that way for a good reason
- Guess I should get one
- What about the other flavors? Is guava not trans girl enough for me?
- Discard thought
gonna take enough testosterone and estrogen for 20 people to become the ultimate gender and ascend to godhood

Any recommendations for at-home laser hair removal devices?
I get zapped once every couple of months, would like to do some maintenance in between professional zappings.
I just got my hair cut, and what I’ve concluded is short hair feel good, long (er) hair look good. Why does it have to be this way 😔
takes gigantic bong rip damn. my favorite masculine characters and ideals were always something that i subconciously understood as unreasonable, cartoonish, and over the top. things that i would never earnestly compare myself to nor should i. this absurd comparison allowed me to unhappily present AMAB because the ability to mock a caricature of masculinity helped deflect from the one of my own i had forced myself to take up
“This is gender affirming care!” I tell myself right before hitting the “purchase” button to buy a battle axe off the internet

back home from visiting my partner for the first time and i miss her so much already
I split up with my boyfriend today. It hasn’t hit me yet, but I’m probably going to be really sad later.
You go this. It might be a highly emotional time, but you’ll make it through it.
Thank you!
