  • I really underestimated how transfemmes are treated on the broader internet. I came to understand myself here, and kinda assumed that this place is representative.

    With it's acceptance and large presence of trans feminine people, and lack of inane bullshit, but actually this seems to be the exception (apart from like small discord servers).

    This is a really good place and much more exceptional in it's protection of trans people than I thought.

  • I think it's very funny that as a small child I was like the textbook example of autism and yet nobody suspected I was autistic, probably because I was not a boy lol. Just goes to show how gender interacts with the medical field I guess.

  • Manly YouTuber ♂️: Hey guys, in this video I'm gonna show you how to get the CLOSEST shave that's gonna leave you BABY smooth. For the best results, we're gonna use a straight razor. That's right, there's no substitute for BLADE on SKIN. We're gonna shave our face the same way we CUT our STEAKS, with a big KNIFE. So, if you're ready to enter the world of MANLY shaving, drop that cartridge razor and keep watching.

    The trans girl watching:

  • Sometimes I go on trans spaces on tumblr, and there is so much bullshit and wreckers and stuff there. I didn't know how good we have it here.

    The "discourse" currently is about how egg jokes are harmful to gnc men, and don't respect their identities.

  • Honestly 50/50 on just using the account I made here way back but haven't really used. I like checking in on everyone but it seems that all the other LGBT spots on fedi are ghost towns or filled with clowns. Occasionally theres like, one small thread on blahaj thats good.

  • Hello everyone, new here!

    Thought I'd do a presentation of myself. I'm a Marxist-Leninist wanting to post here. I have other accounts, although I want those identities to be separate from this one, so I won't mention which ones:3

    I want to participate in trans spaces more generally because being stuck in your own head is pretty bad (and lonely). I identify as a nonbinary femme person for now, I just oscilate in between them.

    I'm not yet out of a toxic environment and I can't really do affirming things and it sucks. I hope I cant rant more on here and find others with experiences similar to mine and bond over it:3

  • Ok so update to my last post: im probably gay.

    I always thought I was bisexual, maybe leaning towards men even. But then I decided to seriously date men (and hook up with one also lol), and like idk. I feel like the parts that I liked were just things that made me feel feminine, like the contrast between our bodies or when they take me out and I feel like a woman on a date with a man. I'm sure straight women also enjoy those things, but I'm not sure that Im actually very attracted to male bodies. And maybe I don't actually like it when they touch me.

    But what really convinced me lol is that I also matched with another trans person and I'm way, way more interested in them than any guy I've talked to. Like I didn't totally get their gender at first cause they didn't say much about it, but just my instinctual reaction was "this person is really pretty and I want to get to know them". It turns out they're like transfem non-binary. We got coffee the other day and Im going to see them again on Friday, which im like really we excited about.

    But even if that doesn't work out it seems like pretty good evidence. Like my reaction to men has just been increasingly meh and as soon as I randomly found someone who wasn't a man I like instantly had a crush on them lol. So yeah, being gay is ok I guess.

  • So apparently my entire issue with stardew valley being boring was because I was playing as a guy. Silly me, by playing as a girl I'm around 100x more invested in her cute little life.

    I wonder if this has any real life implications

    Will certainly be interesting to see.

  • When someone in a trans shitposting community posts a femboy meme in which two girls joke that they're actually boys, and a few trans women point out that it's a problematic post because it implies that trans women are men, and then defenders are like "but femboys can be trans!"

    SHUT. THE FUCK. UP.

    But then when you make egg jokes about femboys you're evil for implying they could be trans.

  • If they did the hexbear dating app, I'm pretty sure it'd end up like a middle school dance except everyone is just gonna do the dating app equivalent of hanging out next to the punch bowl never having asked anyone else out

  • You all treating me like a girl makes me feel so comfy inside

    I was actually was crying as I fell asleep last night I was so happy. There's no point to this post other then I LOVE MY TRANS COMRADES

  • So my best friend, who has know I was trans for a few months, is over at my house tonight. Which is normal, he comes over all the time. What's new is that I'm still in girlmode. And chat, I'm having the time of my life. This is the first time I've girlmoded while someone was over.

  • Well comrades, I couldn't wait a week for the nurse to show me how. Watched a YouTube video on subcutaneous injections.

    And injected my first dose of estradiol about ten minutes ago.

    Feeling a lot of good things atm.

  • Filling out a disability application and it asks for your fucking agab. Quick, why?

    I had half a mind to do it up wrong but egh.

    I look at this shit and I think of

    tbh. You were so right, about everything, please come back!!!! We still need you, sad as it is!!!

  • People are a lot nicer to me now than before I transitioned, which is nice, but it feels like a lot of them also assume I'm dumb af, which never happened when I was a "guy".

    I kinda expected it from men, but what's caught me off guard is that a lot of women do it too.

  • Computer girls and guys and enbies, I call ye!

    I'm building my first computer. All the components are in. I have no idea how to make sure it's cool (as in temp lol). I've never built one

  • Big update! I finally got a place to rent! I even got room dibs!

    The place isn't perfect but it's nicer than any other I've seen so far. And I'm just so, so relieved to actually have a place finally.

    Beyond that today's been a very good day too! I got to get off work early to go to a bar with my coworkers, I finished the long project I've been working on, and, most importantly of all, my hair was extra pretty!

    I'm even giving myself little treats (shitty spicy ramen) to feel even better~
