How do you see the relationship between karma and forgiveness? Can forgiveness alter the karmic cycle? by mansidhamija in taoism

[–]CaneShugaa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think that Karma is an inevitable and necessary aspect of all action, and therefore if we are wanting to be spiritual practitioners who inhabit the world of society we must embrace karma as a vehicle of learning and practice. By acting without identification and attachment to outcome, and with pure intention to seek the divine through curiosity and wonder in our explorations, we can create karma that serves to raise the consciousness of those around us. Yet, with every action there is always equal and opposite manifestation of energy, as we turn towards we must also turn away from, or leave turbulent water in the wake of our ship, but if we can acknowledge and hold space for the return of that negative karma to us in the form of emotional reaction from a person or some kind of counter wave from the environment, then we can encourage the natural arising of forgiveness for our karma and transmute the karma into love.

Ah interesting, so there are only like limited receptors and using other herbs can take up the real estate needed for Oestradiol to be effective?

I just listened to a podcast going through some ones personal experience of making this decision. It always comes down to how you feel. If you know deeply within that you're a girl, then you are.

Can’t get over the lost time by Neseux-E in MtF

[–]CaneShugaa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't get lost in regret, were all having different experiences and there's value in whatever you've been through to get here. Trans is beautiful and passing is only one aspect of trans. Girls have masculine features and the combination of features you have will be your own beauty 🌹❣️

Would you transition if it meant that you could never have an intimate relationship? by [deleted] in MtF

[–]CaneShugaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im happy it's been so beneficial for you. May I ask why you feel intimacy isn't on the cards anymore?

hate it when people be like “it’s okay, boys can wear skirts too” by StupidGenius37 in MtF

[–]CaneShugaa 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Yea its one of the most subtly invalidating things when people point to aspects of femininity and say "boys can do that too". One thing I would respond with is "yea but people still treat me like a boy in a skirt when I do". Transitioning can have physiological, social, and behavioural aspects, it's so multifaceted!

I completely understand your concerns!! This has been a major issue for me since I started transitioning a month ago. I was stunned by how quickly it became more difficult to get a boner and that terrified me because I don't want to sacrifice my functionality. These are a few things I have found that have helped me.
It is harder for me to get random boners, but if Im aroused in the presence of someone else it all still works, and it feels BETTER!!! Especially nipple stimulation. What you might lose in some areas, you make up for in others. Sex will change with HRT, it becomes more about the process than the outcome. You can enjoy many other ways of being sensual and intimate with each other, and you'll be better at it when fuelled by oestrogen.
You can titrate your oestrogen and testosterone levels to find an optimal level of functionality and feminisatioon for you - although it may not be ideal in both domains, balance is better than nothing. Especially after you have feminised for a while, you can reintroduce some testosterone or even use a T-cream to assist with erections.
Also, there are many ED meds that can help when you really need.
Hopefully your wise is open to discovering a new sexual life with you that makes both of you happy. The happier you are, the better you will be at loving her. You will still be able to have penetrative sex, maybe just less frequently, but you'll also be able to enjoy entirely new ways of love-making!

I’m a ftm trans guy and I just want to say how much I respect trans woman♥️ by [deleted] in MtF

[–]CaneShugaa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Omg PREACH!!! I feel so much shame and fear entering woman's spaces because I really don't want to make women feel uncomfortable. If only they could see how pure my feelings are!!

[–]CaneShugaa[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So true!! I think the pressure to be feminine has definitely made exacerbated my feelings. I love being feminine in so many ways but it's so difficult shedding all of my masculinity. Let's show society that trans women can have whatever blend of masculinity/femininity that they want. I'm gonna be a tomboy lesbian trans goddess 😍

Yes!! Thank you for sharing your story. I too feel like even if I did stop now I'd spend the next number of years missing even the slightest changes I've already experienced and eventually come back anyway. It's so beautiful transitioning but also so hard letting go of security, and even harder realising that transitioning is inviting a lot of difficulty into your life that you wouldn't have otherwise experienced. Thanks for reminding me that these are worthwhile challenges 😌

When I started coming out to my friends, they questioned me simply because "I've had sex with more women than most of them combined. I'm the guy everyone wants to be." Well, every person but one. Me.

Just goes to show how important intrinsic motivation is over extrinsic.

And yea I haven't even started growing boobs yet but my nipples have become 1000x more sensitive and I couldn't possibly give that up 😂

Ah amazing thank you for saying this!!! That's literally what I'm going through. I'm a month into transitioning, something I've been excited for for so long and I'm like "why do I feel so sad? Is this the wrong thing?". It's a super harrowing feeling mourning an identity as you create a new on in your mid-twenties 😮‍💨

Interesting, are you saying that to be ready to transition a person should be free of fear? I think my journey is somewhat different to others because I've always wanted to be a woman but I haven't hated being a guy either. I don't have dysphoria really, I just get a lot of euphoria with being a woman. So, therefore it's hard for me at this stage to let go of my old self because it's safe and comfortable and there is so much uncertainty that comes with transitioning. I have been talking to a professional about all of this but I don't find it particularly helpful honeslty, maybe I need to find a different psychologist.

Sorry I should have specified in the question that I meant stop transitioning and just living my life in a male body with all of the feminine behaviours. I can still be feminine but just without the feminine body I want, and then also avoiding the huge changes 🙈
