    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.

    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. cat-trans

        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

      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.

          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 reddit-logo 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

    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?

    de-perception There, you see it. Sticking out of the crowd. Monster Energy, pink can, Ultra Strawberry Dream flavor.

    de-electrochemistry It’s the most trans girl energy drink you can imagine. You need one, now. Two, actually

    de-endurance It’s been a long day. The caffeine should be a fitting boost to finish it

    de-encyclopedia [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

    de-electrochemistry Don’t listen to Poindexter, this is the trans femme drink on the shelf, and it’s that way for a good reason

    1. Guess I should get one
    2. What about the other flavors? Is guava not trans girl enough for me?
    3. Discard thought

    I get zapped once every couple of months, would like to do some maintenance in between professional zappings.

    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

    I split up with my boyfriend today. It hasn’t hit me yet, but I’m probably going to be really sad later.
