"i'm older and wiser and more experienced than you, there's no way you can know this about yourself, and disagreeing with me is disagreeing with my authority and it is then disrespect" is genuinely how i think a lot of people in my life approach talking to me about my transness

insisting i know myself does piss cis people off the most i think. they always talk about me regretting this, about me not actually wanting this, because people "not knowing themselves" is how they exercise authority over everyone else. and when i say they're wrong i'm rejecting that authority

telling myself im still handsome even though my hairline is moving backwards

coming off of psychiatric medicine that messed you up is almost worse than being on the medicine that messed you up. just trying to get through my freaking week

It's world tiger day. if you even care.

I do think this is a lot more common than you might think at least. I was definitely one of these people, who kept putting myself back in the closet because it was "easier" than transitioning. It doesn't help that everyone prefers that you are a butch lesbian over a trans man.

my hrt doctor is very knowledgeable fortunately its usually talking to any other medical professional where i'm like "how do you have a license"

wow. amazing

"you're still anemic why" "heavy periods" "but you're on testosterone" yes genius how could you fucking tell

it is getting really annoying to have to explain to countless medical professionals i still have my periods and hear from them "wow... but... you shouldn't???????" why does the average doctor truly believe testosterone stops all trans mens periods why am i educating DOCTORS about being trans

because i don't pass yet some people in my area make it clear they are trans allies by seeing my facial hair and using he/him for me despite the elephant in the room (my H cups)

there is always this issue among some leftists where they are desperate to rationalize and dissect the right, but fail to do so because they fail to understand or accept there are many people in the world who are gleefully anti-community and anti-human and do not think deeply about their decisions

they love men with pussies until asked why that character can't just be trans etc etc etc

navigate any and all kinds of nsfw media and you understand that cis people love getting off to our bodies but hate our trans lives and experiences

person a: “I want HRT” person b: “if you want HRT you should try HRT” person c, who nobody asked: “b-but they don’t have to go on HRT!!!1 you can be trans without HRT!!!1 you look so good without it and you DON’T HAVE TO GO ON IT!!!1 THIS IS VIOLATING PERSON A's AUTONOMY!!!1”

I want to preface this thread with a little bit about me. I read a ton of M/M when I was young. I grew up reading M/M books from authors like Anne Rice and Mercedes Lackey. So I am not a stranger to enjoying M/M, even though I now almost exclusively focus on books that center W/W romance.

don't talk about "average republicans" when you clearly do not live among them or experience them on a day to day basis lmao

in rural upstate NY, you constantly run into people who left the city, and they will tell you extremely openly and quickly they left because of all the immigrants and tell you in detail why they hate said immigrants you undermine the incredible levels of racism the "average republican" spews

a lot of them proudly wave confederate flags, proudly hate immigrants, proudly hate gay people and trans people, and are very open and casual about their hatred like it's just another tuesday talking to strangers here almost always amounts in them expressing their resentment for The Others

sure, sometimes when you talk to some republicans they are agreeable about certain things. but will they vote in support of those things? lol no and even then like. i don't know, i live in a red city, a lot of these people aren't the reasonable people you're painting them as
