1,002 | Anyone have any suggestions for good music where the lyrics aren't full of lame, sexist themes? Of course, anti-gender songs are cool, too, but I'm not always in the mood for political music. Preferably stuff from the '60s, and ideally folk music, though I'm open to all kinds of stuff, and hopefully I won't be the only one who can make use of this thread. Seems like I can't think of a single song to play that isn't filled with grossness... :( | Transphobic | GenderCritical | Post | Reddit |
1,003 | I got my braces removed recently. Only to have to start treatment from scratch next year. I've worn them since I was 13(I'm 18),I have a complicated condition,and my current(former) dentist sort of fucked up my teeth.
Because of being so long on braces my gums are pretty bad. I already have fewer teeth than normal,and I got some teeth removed from 13 to 15,so my upper row of teeth only have 6 teeth,four in front and one in each end.
Now I'll go trough a cleaning process for some months,and start everything again. And my skin is super dry,my hair is falling a lot and I have a black spot on my vision in my left eye. I went to doctors to all,but I feel so overwhelmed,beside all of that there dysphoria and depression. | Not Transphobic | TransSupport | Post | Reddit |
1,004 | Hello new besties.
I've been struggling with my gender identity for my whole life. The people around me have been supportive of me in every change I've made.
Now that I've found nonbinary identities and gender fluidity I feel like I've found a part of myself, and at the same time lost something. I don't want my name (very cis female) and I don't know about pronouns, what would make me happy and comfortable. But at this point, people referring to me at all confuses me. When people call my name it sounds wrong, and I'm not sure if they are speaking to me at all. I think my biggest issue is that I don't have an identity at all, and that scares me.
Has this happened to anyone else? Is this normal? Did you find your identity when you made certain changes? | Not Transphobic | genderfluid | Post | Reddit |
1,005 | For years I've always seen myself as either being Male or Female, like I had to choose between one or the other. But now, I'm growing my hair and nails out so I can present as both, and I know I can do it! This is such a great feeling. I now know what it means to be Gender Fluid and it's amazing! | Not Transphobic | genderfluid | Post | Reddit |

Alright, so I want to get my ears pierced. The only problem is work. I work at a fairly conservative company, and I'm still in guy mode. They know about my transition and are working with me, but I won't go to gal mode until HRT has enough effects to be really obvious.
As I'm in guy mode at work, the male dress code applies. This means no earrings. I don't really care about wearing earrings at work, but you have to wear studs for what, like 8 weeks after getting the ears pierced? My question is, are all the studs shiny surgical steel, or do they make more discrete ones? Can I get something that's more clear or flesh-toned? If I could, that would make it possible. | Not Transphobic | ask_transgender | Post | Reddit |

I'm looking at getting SRS sometime in the coming year. One thing I'm considering is just getting a loan for it. Does anyone have any experience with this? I would only consider financing if I could choose the doctor I want (probably someone in Thailand).
Rather than saving a massive chunk of cash and wiping out all my savings for surgery, it might make more sense to just get it and pay for it over the course of a few years.
Anyone ever done this before? Can anyone recommend a company that lets you take out loans for overseas operations? I live and work in the US. | Not Transphobic | ask_transgender | Post | Reddit |

1,009 | I've read that the vaginal pH level of post-op trans women is elevated compared to that of cis women which makes it more difficult to maintain proper levels of some essential microflora such as lactobacilli. I would think the non-mucosal skin forming the neo-vaginal lining also compounds this issue.
Do any of you post-op women have any tips or advice for maintaining a healthy vaginal environment? I'm thinking of using Luvena prebiotic vaginal moisturizer, an oral probiotic, and regular yogurt consumption to maintain healthy microflora and pH. I'm having SRS in the very near-future, so I'd like to be prepared! | Not Transphobic | ask_transgender | Post | Reddit |
1,010 | My finasteride script finally got increased from 1mg/day.
The next size of tablet is 5mg, and my script said to take 1/2 tablet or 1 tablet daily.
Well... my pharmacy decided to split the whole month's worth of tablets, which means it's two little pills instead of one. It also gives me the option to split my dose to twice daily.
What should I do? 5mg in the morning, or 2.5mg morning and evening? | Not Transphobic | ask_transgender | Post | Reddit |
1,011 | Today I added a large number of additional flair options. It was an intentional decision to have every combination available. I just wanted to acknowledge that some of them may seem silly or contradictory; however, people can identify however they want. If someone identifies as a Straight Homosexual or anything else and want to show that then we want to have the option. The moment we start telling people they have to fit this or that container or label, we deprive people the opportunity to be themselves.
Once again, thank you very much for being here and thank you to everyone who has helped. Later this evening /r/trueasktransgender will be forwarded to this page.

1,012 | Hey guys! From what I've read, [leg cramps](http://www.reddit.com/r/asktransgender/comments/1r7h47/scared_i_might_have_dvt_already_only_two_days/) can and do happen on Spiro. I'm aware of them because last night/ this morning I was certain I encountered my first-- which spiraled from simple ache in my leg to full-blown panic to eventual trip to the hospital. I'm less than two weeks on HRT + Spiro (2 mg Estradiol + 100mg Spiro) and, after calming down, reasoned that I would not spend several hundred dollars on an Emergency Room visit. **I am not asking for Medical Advice.** What I am wondering is, should more people be aware of the potential for extremely dangerous-seeming Side Effects of Spiro?
tl;dr Leg Cramps from Spiro are real, keep hydrated, stretch. | Not Transphobic | ask_transgender | Post | Reddit |
1,013 | Ever since recognizing myself as genderqueer, I've had this nagging feeling that I'm "not trans enough". As in, I feel like I can't really speak about the experiences of the trans community, and that the issues I face aren't as severe. A lot of my interactions with people have reinforced that feeling.
Now, I've gone through HRT, top surgery, and I'm looking into a name change. I still feel like I don't have a place in most of the trans spaces I've been in.
Has anyone else experienced this? | Not Transphobic | ask_transgender | Post | Reddit |
1,014 | Its just ridiculous I get home from work with a migraine half starved but emotionally stable. Then I sit down and eat some food, surf reddit for a bit, and feeling pretty good. Then I just feel it creeping up on me and before I know it my brain goes crazy telling me I might as well give up and suck it up and just exist as a male. Is feeling good about myself really that much to ask? I can't even get into games and all I wanted was to play some KSP. Sorry for the rant just wondered if any of you had some magic tricks to snap out of it. *sigh* Well thats enough bitching to the internet for today hope all you wonderful people have a better night. | Not Transphobic | ask_transgender | Post | Reddit |
1,015 | I like to paint my nails and wear dresses (sometimes), but that's the extent of my girlyness (other than being born female). I love all things boy, but not like I'm *in love* with boys, like 'hey, I like how you smell, what your wearing, and what your doing. I want all those things for me too.' My problem comes in when I might never want surgery (I'm really fearful of surgery), and I don't know if I'd ever do T injections. I'm also afraid of coming out to my mom. She always wanted a little girl named Molly, and that's me. I would hate to crush her like that. I just hate my body. I hate my genitals and my breasts, I hate having long hair. I've wanted to grow a beard for the longest time. I just wish I was born male. (btw I'm posting this on others subs.) | Not Transphobic | ask_transgender | Post | Reddit |

1,017 | So I've been wondering generally about how someone would go about trying to find someone whom doesn't fall into those certain thought processes that shoe horn trans* persons into deceivers.
I know for a fact I am quite lucky to have found a beautiful woman who openly support my transition, and the inherent lesbianism she has without fearing that I am somehow misleading her.
But I worry, maybe I've been spending too much time on reddit (it's not the greatest place for open-minded opinions, common sense and logic) that a lot of my brothers and sister in this community are having these issues and I've not seen (personally) much headway in dealing with it. Again that's my personal experience and I don't generally go looking, but I am curious. For those of you who have been through that process or are going through it,how do you deal with it? | Not Transphobic | ask_transgender | Post | Reddit |
1,018 | I currently don't pass, and many people use the wrong pronoun.
I'm able to carry on when strangers misgender me, but when people I know do it, it is very painful. I'm out to many friends and they know to use the correct pronoun, but they often forget and then start using the wrong one.
I never correct people. I also feel like I'm being desperate when I do things like that. It doesn't make me feel better when they start using the correct pronoun because it wasn't something they remembered to do in the first place. It's also a reminder of how much I don't pass. So I just wait for other friends to correct that person.
Does anyone else feel this way about correcting people too? | Not Transphobic | ask_transgender | Post | Reddit |
1,019 | I am a transvestite at the least, and possibly an MtF. My issue is with underwear, specifically; is there anything nice out there for me, that looks nice and hides my male genitalia?
Tucking makes me kinda nauseous and the two pairs of underwear way is quite uncomfortable. So I'm wondering if;
A) Gaffs are they any use?
B) Any underwear I can wear on it's own, which would hide well?
C) Any other suggestions?
So, Reddit, any help? | Not Transphobic | ask_transgender | Post | Reddit |
1,020 | I am sure they obviously check via Social Security Number, but if I were to file for one with corrected documentation (somewhat hypothetical at this point) but without that doctor's letter, after previously having a passport many moons ago, what would happen?
Also what if someone had never had a passport pre-transition, and had all the documentation changed--would they be able to file for one as if they were the same legal gender all their life? | Not Transphobic | ask_transgender | Post | Reddit |
1,021 | I'm anxiously awaiting my new birth certificate.
When it arrives, I need to go get new photo ID - driver's licence and health card. These are valid for five years in Ontario, so I'm fretting a bit about my appearance.
Specifically, should I [wear a wig](http://imgur.com/Rd0WOTD) or [no wig](http://imgur.com/1gsaLxW) ?
My hair *is* filling in, thanks to the finasteride, but this is as good as it's gonna get for the next month or so.
EDIT: forgot to mention... I'm wearing the wig when I *have* to be read as female (typically when I'm out alone, lately). But I'm wearing it as little as possible, and *much* prefer my own hair. I'm still getting read as female without the wig.

1,022 | Hi, I'm FtM, and I have a problem. A big ol' wet, smelly, slippery slope of a problem that I need some help with.
I've got a binder. It's a tri-top underworks binder in beige. I was told it breathed well, but I feel like I might have been lied to.
But that's fine, because that's where you come in! How do I sweat less? I understand I will always have a bit more sweat than people who don't bind, but should the guy in the brand new binder sweat a gallon a minute? C'MON! c:

1,024 | I posted on r/GSM, but was told I'd get more replies here. I want to come out to my parents as gender-fluid pretty soon, but have no idea how they'll take it, especially my mother.

1,026 | I'm an American Woman who has been fighting full time in Thailand for the last two years, in the national sport of Muay Thai. I recently wrote a piece - really a kind of thoughtful rant - on [The Fragility of Western Masculinity](http://8limbs.us/blog/fragility-western-masculinity-muay-thai), based on the version of masculinity I've encountered in men coming to Thailand to train to fight. What really surprised me was how well the article was received by men who I imagined may be thinned skinned about it. Many found it relevant to their own experiences of their gender. It raises questions though about the performance of masculinity - something that I do, as a fighter - and about gendered fragility itself. | Not Transphobic | gender | Post | Reddit |
1,027 | A number of years ago, I went to this program for women (I'm a guy) and I'm going to the reunion this summer. This is going to entail staying in a dorm with a bunch of women I have seen or spoken to in about 10 years. My plan is to send them an email saying "So, uh, if you haven't heard, I'm a guy now and, btw, please don't be weird about the housing situation." But I don't actually know what to say. Part of me feels like I need to say "If you're not comfortable with the housing situation... blah blah" and part of me feels like that's *suggesting* they ought to not be comfortable and that they're adults, they can take it up with the person in charge and not with me.

1,028 | I am starting a video blog about my transition. I tried making a ton of videos before but they were all so depressing back when I thought T would be something out of reach for a long time. I'll be getting my letter on Tuesday and so with that, I decided it was time to start documenting my journey. I wanted to make these videos not only for myself but also to give back. YouTube helped me so much that I only wanted to be able to share my experiences and stories with others in hopes that it may help someone like those videos helped me.

1,030 | hi ask_transgender:
small text wall incoming.
so ive been hanging around r/crossdressing for almost a year [and occasionally poking my head in here]. ive gotten to a place where i like my presentation, so ive started taking it out of the house. i am growing out my hair and taking fin [hopefully done with wigs soon!]. i wear nail polish most days [to work and such where i still present male]. i shave my entire body twice a week. i am still part time.
i am considering starting laser hair removal. it would be awesome not to have to shave everything all the time. plus, no matter how careful i am i always get razor burn when i shave my neck. very sensitive. i guess my question is: am i ready? [i know only i can answer that]
when [in your transition] did you decide to get shot with freakin' lasers?
thx everyone!! | Not Transphobic | ask_transgender | Post | Reddit |
1,031 | Hi everybody, I'm MtF 19.
Basically my question is if it is ethical, professional, or justifiable for my MOTHER to call my therapist? Her main interest is why I haven't gotten my letter yet. So this is weird right?

1,033 | Does anyone have any experience with this particular dilemma? I've never been fitted for a suit before in my life, and now that I've been on hormones for a while I have almost-B-cup breasts.

Would it be easier to just get a binder for the occasion? | Not Transphobic | ask_transgender | Post | Reddit |
1,034 | How do we define late transitioners, if at all? I'm just curious where I would be grouped. I'm 24, turning 25 in about 4 months, going to start HRT hopefully this summer. Would I be grouped as a late transitoner? Or something else? | Not Transphobic | ask_transgender | Post | Reddit |

1,038 | Hi all! I'm starting estrogen within a month ( :D ), and I'm looking into sperm banking.
I'm assuming you have to se up an appointment beforehand. How long has your experience been with having to wait for that appointment to swing by? I'm withholding estrogen from myself if it takes too long, so I'm pretty anxious about that.
Were the banks generally trans-friendly? Did they have experience, or am I going to have to worry about being misgendered?
Do most people get a good sample the first time? If you don't, do you have to pay more for each time you try?
Thanks! Have a lovely day, everyone! | Not Transphobic | ask_transgender | Post | Reddit |

1,040 | I am a pansexual male. I have always had a desire to cross dress and now that I am starting out, whenever I look female I WANT to feel female and be female. I do sometimes look down and wish I didn't have a dick or could switch between both male and female parts. And when in CD I want to be seen and addressed as female ... but I know I'm male which gets in the way. I don't feel right being male in CD. I want to be female during those times.

1,041 | So I've always been super skinny and I started HRT three months ago (almost exactly) and still weigh the exact same amount, when I was expecting to have gained some weight.

1,042 | My drummer just asked a great question... I was talking to him about how the doctors told my mother that I was a girl for the first 8 months then a boy for the final month, which kind of shows that yeah I do have a female brain in a male body... that my brain just stayed female and at the last moment there was a surge of androgens when my body developed. I learned this from reading some study out there ( I can't find it now. :/ ) that showed the spikes in androgens in the development in girls and boys.
So here's the question... how are chromosomes to play a part here? I know all babies start female, so when do the XY start telling the body to do the male things? If I really was a girl for a little longer than normal, when did my chromosomes change... if they did at all? | Not Transphobic | ask_transgender | Post | Reddit |
1,043 | I was just wondering that because of each sex having both estrogen and testosterone at some level that if you ended up having an orchiectomy or even SRS would it be a problem? Am I correct in thinking that you would now have 0 testosterone? I read that in women they have some chemical that changes estrogen into androgens which is where they get their small amount needed... so what about men? I don't think androgen changes over to estrogen does it? | Not Transphobic | ask_transgender | Post | Reddit |
1,044 | So I went in to HR and a lot of my fears were a bit overblown. shortly ill be out of the editing suite and back on the floor. And hopefully deal with some of the issues that i have been having. It also turns out that they have been eying me to become a mentor, witch can later turn in to a senor position!!! Becoming a mentor is perfect for getting people to see more then the trans stuff. they were going to bring all this up in my performance review that apparently I did quite well on, but I wont be getting that for another few days.

1,046 | So, this research is commonly posted:
http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn20032-transsexual-differences-caught-on-brain-scan.html
Basically, the article explains that even before any hormonal treatment, the brains of 18 female-to-male transgender people in a study using MRI brain scans showed a structure that was between those of cisgender males and cisgender females.
I did a bit of googling and a full MRI costs around 800 USD. Assuming that we would get away with scanning only a certain section of the brain, less than 500 USD for an "Am I transgender?" scan doesn't sound too far-fetched. Of course, that's still a chunk of money, but if it can focus the therapy and/or disarm gate-keepers, it might pay for itself.

Are there any guys out there from New York with the same insurance, who have navigated this issue in the past? It would be so great if anyone could refer us to a website or organization that could help or get any helpful advice or knowledge on the matter.

I was wondering, what would this sub think of weekly contests like themed comics or "fan" art or something? Please, chime in, and maybe the staff will consider it. | Not Transphobic | assignedmale | Post | Reddit |
1,055 | I've enjoyed this sub since it's beginning, but I've never contributed. Thanks to the wonderful u/Catjaz63, I can browse and choose from all the cancer I want without going to the main site. With this, I hope to regularly submit my own bullshit from here on out. To commemorate this terrible thing, I've made three absolute wastes of bandwidth.

1,056 | My wife and I are preop and in Washington State. We are seeking a MtF surgeon in the western US that accepts insurance, does single stage, hopefully does the G Spot thing that Bowers does, and has a waiting list of <1 year.
Can anyone recommend anyone? | Not Transphobic | Transgender_Surgeries | Post | Reddit |
1,057 | Can you please help me create a list of accomplished single stage surgeons that do M2F surgeries in the Western US? My wife and I are looking at Dr Peter K Davis in Palo Alto, CA, but only because Dr Marci Bowers has a 3 year waiting list.

1,058 | Hey, to start things off I'm a 23 yr old trans girl, based in Vancouver BC. I'm at 4.5 months hrt, and plan on getting surgeries around 1.5-2year mark.
My question is quite basic I guess, but how has every Canadian girls journey been with the Canadian funded SRS based in Montreal? My doc and I have talked about already, I've expressed that I'm not super concerned with getting bottom surgery right away but I'd like to know your experiences.
Also how was the pain management and aftercare? Scariest part for me is pain management. | Not Transphobic | Transgender_Surgeries | Post | Reddit |
1,059 | Ok so I just got surgery on September 8th and I got my drains out on the 14th and I have to wear this compression vest for about 4 weeks only problem is that it's got a hell! I don't wanna leave the house because it's like 90 degrees out and when it's hot this vest makes it unbearable to do anything it starts to itch like crazy and it's making me insane. Does anyone else have this problem? So does anyone have any advice to give so these next three weeks don't suck. | Not Transphobic | Transgender_Surgeries | Post | Reddit |

1,064 | He's one of the SRS surgeons I can see within the Kaiser network (the other being Dr. Meltzer). He's the chief of plastic surgery at Kaiser SF, trained under Dr. Meltzer for SRS surgeries, and has over a year's experience.
I'd like to see if anyone can share their experiences w/him, as his wait time is around a year while Dr. Meltzer's is at least 2.

1,071 | Good evening the saddest thing in “queer spaces” and “queer inclusive” posts and discussions is that one of the first thing out of those people’s mouths will be some variation of “queer people in a certain way can still be queerphobic in some other way (ex: wlw terfs)” which is… honestly so much to unpack. Singling out lesbians as an awful, “queerphobic” group, making a point of silencing any dissenting woman in that group, and making it clear that “queer” absolutely 100% does not mean homosexual for these people who are reclaiming a slur that isn’t theirs.There are no safe spaces for the LGB as long as the “TQ+” keeps invading our hard earned spaces and rights. And there is no room for women’s liberation as long as the most important women in these people’s minds are men. | Transphobic | lgb | Post | Tumblr |
1,072 | Could we please go back to just using LGBT or even LGB? Please? The rest is nonsense. | Transphobic | lgb | Post | Tumblr |
1,073 | It’s so painfully obvious that this new wave of self identified queer kids does not care about actual LGB history in the slightest. The only thing they know about our history is Stonewall, and a very inaccurate version of it at that. They act like Stonewall was the first and only major event in the gay liberation movement and then the whole movement died down again until same sex marriage was federally legalized in the US in 2015. | Not Transphobic | lgb | Post | Tumblr |
1,074 | if any person on this godforsaken hellhole of an app/website tells you, a homosexual, that you need to “examine/unpack/evaluate your genital fetish” be aware that this is just a new hip way of calling you a perverted homo. anyone saying that is homophobic | Transphobic | lgb | Post | Tumblr |
1,075 | funny how straight people aren’t being told that they have “genital fetishes” and that they need to be more “open minded” with their dating preferences isn’t it that’s homophobia for ya! | Transphobic | lgb | Post | Tumblr |
1,076 | They really come full circle, hey | Not Transphobic | troons | Post | Tumblr |
1,077 | I cannot take people seriously who call trans people “troons” or “gendies”. Did you get your insults off of r/funny or something? That literally sounds like something a middle school boy would call me while scrolling through iFunny or 4chan. Please, find a healthy hobby. | Not Transphobic | troons | Post | Tumblr |

1,083 | So let me get this straightWe took two illusory abstract concepts (identity and gender), mashed them together, and I’m supposed to believe the resulting concept refers to some immutable reality that’s present in every single human being, yet it’s impossible to test or define? | Not Transphobic | lgb | Post | Tumblr |
1,084 | I hate it when I see people saying misogyny is why homophobia exists. Those are two different axes, and while yes, some people truly do think less of gay men because they’re the ones being penetrated in sex (read: taking the “woman’s role”) but that is just one facet of homophobia. Homosexuals are hates because we cannot reproduce, therefore our relationships are not ‘natural.’ | Transphobic | lgb | Post | Tumblr |
1,085 | Gender of the Gaps▪: I am also a woman, I have suffered through crippling gender dysphoria and now I have the surgeries and the hormones to prove it. My body is a woman’s body.▫: So if the word woman doesn’t refer to the female sex, how does your dysphoria know which body parts to latch on to? If person with a typical male karyotype, functional male reproductive system and secondary sexual characteristics is just as much of a woman, where’s the supposed incongruence that needs fixing?▪: The outward appearance is not central to womanhood, but a social signifier. Transitioning allows me to access social insitutions that have been denied to me. Trans women know they want to be women from a very young age, and can be identified by their atypical desires for long hair, feminine clothing and makeup.▫: So a woman is not a female person, but hair, clothing and makeup.▪: No, gender nonconforming trans women are still women. They have taken on the names, the pronouns, the clothing, the demeanor, the social dynamics, all the social signifiers of femininity and that makes them woman. They are socially seen as women, and that makes them women.▫: So a woman could cease to be a woman by crossing a border into a culture where these signifiers are not understood, or maybe completely reversed? Or by hypothetically building a time machine and traveling to a point in time with sufficiently different social norms?▪: No, trans women are women regardless of how they present or how society views them. Trans women in the closet do not take on these social signifiers and they’re jsut as much of a woman because they experience great emotional distress whey they’re not able to express them.▫: Lots of so-called “cisgender” women take great issue with these same social signifiers, and some of them go out of their way to present themselves in a way that’s not congruent with them. Are they not women?▪: No, they are women because they still have female brains. Trans women’s claim to womanhood is based on the fact that they also have female brains. There are studies showing that they share some similar brain structures.▫: So trans women had their brain scanned and diagnosed in order to confirm that they’re women? Are there peer-reviewed models that can predict someone’s transgender identity from those brain structures before they supposedly “realize” they’re women; or is it like phrenology where causation cannot be inferred from the correlation? Also, what about the brain structures that trans women share with men?▪: It’s not about brain morphology, it’s about their persistent and consistent psychological experience. Trans women feel like they’re women, and that makes them women.▫: But so-called “cisgender” women do not seem to share this feeling, neither do trans-identified people who supposedly “discovered” themselves at a later point in their lives. Also, we don’t have direct access to each other’s subjective experience, we cannot know what it feels to inhabit someone else’s place.▪: There is nothing that all women have in common except that the word “woman” refers to them. Asserting that “woman is X” is inherently exclusionary, because language is a social function, and therefore it’s a tool of control.▫: So anything I call a woman becomes a woman? Does my pencil sharpener become a woman because I call it a woman? It centainly shares symbollic cultural connotations with how the word “woman” is used in my culture, as a receptacle for a phallic object. Does this language function apply to these instances of gross sexism?▪: No, innanimate objects cannot be women. Women are subjects, they’re people.▫: But you just said defining woman as anything but “something referred to by the word ‘woman’” is exclusionary. Doesn’t it follow then that you could not assert that women are subjects, lest you exclude innanimate women like my pencil sharpener?▪: Shut up nazi terf piss your pants.

1,086 | We should invent a word for that special feeling no one but lesbians, gay men and bi people have when we learn that someone famous (or not) is same sex attracted too. I don’t know I could have the lamest day of my life, bored as fuck or my happiness lost in the gutter, if I read that (insert here name of a famous woman I know) is a lesbian then it feels like someone has run up to me with a syringe and injected me some type of happiness drug like dopamine and serotonin, resulting in me acting crazy for the next 5 minutes then just being happy for the rest of the day every time I think about that woman. Where’s the saying for that feeling ? We need one ! 🔥 | Transphobic | lgb | Post | Tumblr |
1,087 | have any other radfems read middlesex by jeffrey eugenides? i had to read it last year for a woman’s study course and i remember thinking it was pretty good, but that was also when i was still partially a libfem.if you’ve never read it, it’s basically a novel that details the 3 different generations of one family and how their lives resulted in a genetic mutation that caused the protagonist to be born intersex, but because her family is unaware of this, said protagonist is raised as a girl (she was a lesbian, too) but ultimately lived her adult life presenting as a man. honestly i found the book to be pretty enjoyable at the time— it’s by the same author as the virgin suicides, which i’ve never read but i really liked the movie. but also 🤢🤢 because the author is a man writing about the lives on teen girls. anyways, i’d love to hear some thoughts on middlesex from a radfem perspective if anyone on here has read it | Transphobic | lgb | Post | Tumblr |
1,088 | Why can’t tras grasp that the bi-cycling and sexual fluidity experienced by some bis, and only ever bis, can in fact be innate? Sexual fluidity in regards to preference towards men or women changing is exclusive to bi people, with fluctuating attraction often being out of one’s own control. Sexuality being fluid for some bi people does not equal to sexuality being a construct. This doesn’t translate to sexuality as a whole being fluid. For the vast majority of the population it‘s fixed because they’re straight. For all gay/lesbian people, it’s fixed. Straight and gay people do not experience fluid sexuality, as straight people do not have “exceptions“ for the same sex. Gay people do not have “exceptions” for the opposite sex. If you think instances of a straight/gay person finding that someone of the same/opposite sex looks nice/pretty/conventionally attractive by societal standards means they are romantically + sexually attracted to them, I do not know what to tell you. Everyone is not secretly bi, actually. Stop projecting your feelings onto everyone else. | Transphobic | lgb | Post | Tumblr |
1,089 | Why do the tras that think sexuality is a social construct, believe that if sexuality was innate, it would be determined by just one gene? When in reality it’s polygenic, with thousands of genes overall contributing to one’s sexuality. This already happens with eye color, height, skin color, other characteristics. You won’t be able to single out any genes in particular. | Not Transphobic | lgb | Post | Tumblr |
1,090 | I thought it’d be funny to make a joke relating this song and queer theory because “haha, blurred lines, get it?”, but then I actually read through the lyrics and now I’m tempted to find a citation for every line because boy let me tell you… it’s not just the title. | Not Transphobic | lgb | Post | Tumblr |
1,091 | I was never a super devout christian and neither were my social circles, so when I left the religion in my teenage years, I couldn’t quite understand the mental anguish some other apostates related back to me.Now that I’m commiting gender apostasy in the middle of a mental health crisis after trying REALLY hard to be a good “ally” … I get it. It does feel like I’m going to the gender hell I don’t even believe in, so to speak, and the damage is still being done even after I left. | Transphobic | lgb | Post | Tumblr |

1,098 | While there are many annoying and homophobic bisexuals out there, especially online, I wish that other bis would stop with the self flagellation when responding to them. It’s annoying and accomplishes nothing. | Not Transphobic | lgb | Post | Tumblr |
1,099 | Thinking about that post about the pro-gay/anti-homophobia campaigns that were around in the 2000s and early 2010s and I just wanted to talk about my experience as a gay teenager for a minute.I hate how other people my age take those kinds of campaigns for granted and I genuinely wish they were still around because the weak excuse for anti-discrimination campaigns that schools use now are not helpful in the slightest. I was (as far as I know) the only lesbian at my high school and was bullied non-stop because of it as soon as people found out. I would have killed for any kind of support or encouragement but I got nothing because you couldn’t even say the word ‘lesbian’ without getting a detention. Gay rights activists spent years campaigning and trying to change how people see us, trying to convince young gay people and others that there is nothing wrong with the terms ‘gay’, ‘lesbian’, ‘bisexual’, or ‘homosexual’. That they aren’t bad words or inappropriate. That it’s ok to be gay and it’s not ok to bully someone for their sexuality. But what we’re dealing with today is that you can’t even talk about being gay or lesbian individually now because people found a way of meeting the diversity and inclusivity standard without having to directly say those words, instead calling it LGBTQIA+ rights or even ‘q***r’ issues because they can’t actually stomach talking about homosexuality by itself and would rather use a vague acronym or even a slur to refer to us than use our own words. Having campaigns like It Gets Better and sticking posters with slogans like ‘Some People Are Gay. Get Over It’ in educational facilities forced schools to talk about gay people even though they didn’t want to but now that those campaigns aren’t as active anymore or compulsory, schools can just outright refuse to ever mention gay people at all except for maybe a half-hearted assembly or email about pride month once a year. But when your school puts some rainbow bunting up in the corridor and makes half and attempt to at least be nice about pride month even though you’re 15 and you’ve just been called a dyke for the first time and student support didn’t give a shit…it feels kind of hostile. There was no It Gets Better or Gay Rights Now! in the curriculum to encourage me through the darkest points of my life so far when I was likely depressed and struggling with the way I was being treated because of my sexuality. All because I was visibly GNC and that made me a target for harassment by homophobic students who never faced any consequences for their behaviour despite me reporting them a hundred times over. Because by 2015 nobody wanted to talk about homophobia anymore so I and probably a million other young gay people have been left to suffer in silence without the support that could have been offered to us just five years before. I just wish that other people my age would recognise that having any kind of gay positivity or representation in education could have helped us enormously. Whether by helping change other people’s opinions or by encouraging gay youth to feel better about ourselves. We are not weird and there is nothing wrong with us for being same-sex attracted, I just wish someone had told me that instead of telling me I was a freak instead. | Transphobic | lgb | Post | Tumblr |
1,100 | ok genuinely-how do straight girls end up thinking theyre lesbians? Like ive seen a few on tiktok say that theyre not lesbians and that theyre straight, but hOW? bi girls i can understand but not straight girls. Youre telling me you had NO idea you were attracted to men? That you didnt realise you didnt want to date a girl? Baffling | Not Transphobic | lgb | Post | Tumblr |
