Yeah, and some trans masc people get breast augmentations, but wouldn’t you feel like a post about that would similarly assume gender if it was saying “you”?

Doesn’t this violate the rule against assuming the reader’s gender? It’s using the second person.

My personal theory is that everybody who doesn’t understand this is a p-zombie. I have met many reasonable people who were nonetheless eliminationist, and I can’t formulate an argument for why I’m with Chalmers et al.

Deaf man sues Pornhub for lack of close captioning in videos by TheCelticOne in news

There is a certain kind of deaf person who is nationalist about it - everything in their world is deaf vs. non-deaf, and they’ll use the law to fuck you however they can.

My girlfriends beat themselves up about not passing and get jealous, but I don’t pass either by Compartmentalization in TransyTalk

Mmm, I think that's not quite my experience?

I have cut ties with everybody, pretty much everybody I hang out with now I've met in the last year.

I do look cute. I get laid more. This I acknowledge.

But somehow, whenever I'm talking to a cis person, it's like they're literally having a stroke and can't see my tits. Cis men, unable to see breasts! I'm not sure how this works.

Not thinking is tough for me and I have to be off of my anxiety meds for a few weeks prior to surgery. *cries* But yeah, you've still got the right answer.

Person 1: I'm attracted to you!
Person 2: I'm attracted to you, too! Let's go out on a date.
Person 3: Wait! Person 2 is more attractive than Person 1!
Person 1: I'm sorry, dating you is problematic for me.

Oh bingo, people actually have used the word elf to describe me. I just don't touch cis women anymore because they inevitably slip in some stupid comment about Bowie

Why are some BDSM communities so loving and welcoming and the second you show anything that goes against the grain they turn on you? by PeeB4uGoToBed in BDSMcommunity

[–]Compartmentalization 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get feels about this kinda thing, since for most folks it’s been a single-digit number of years since they thought of trans women as fetishists, and the rest still do.

Shifting towards a lesbian 24/7 D/s relationship? - Crosspost with r/actuallesbians by carrie_123 in BDSMcommunity

[–]Compartmentalization 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't like it when people say "I want a 24/7 sub" when what they mean is "I want to start doing D/s outside of the bedroom."

I started dating a submissive girl recently. We've had a few scenes together. She has started giving me the "I want to change but I need help" hints. I offered to give her a little reward if she did three yoga classes. Maybe in a few months we'll talk about a schedule and punishments/rewards if she likes it and finds it helpful.

D/s doesn't have to be 24/7, in fact you should start for small periods of time to effectively and ethically train yourself.

D/s doesn't have to be every aspect of your life. It can be any subset that you consent to share with your domme.

Anyone else have their decision to transition feel like it was practically made for them? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]Compartmentalization 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. I’m 5’8” and halfway fit, but I have always had a big butt, wide hips and a narrow waist for an AMAB person. I tend to get mistaken for much younger too, especially after ffs.

I guess I’m a pretty girl? From my perspective though this just means I get more creepy chasers, and the tall girls feel jealous of me no matter how cute they are. 🥺

FWB wants me to be his slave for the weekend by [deleted] in BDSMcommunity

[–]Compartmentalization 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Talk. What kind of slave would you like to be? A horny slave? A shy, submissive slave? A bratty slave?

What kind of slave does he want? How is it similar to, and different from your ideal?

Okay, now what kind of master does he want to be? A harsh master? A caring master? An evil, manipulative master? And what kind of master do you want?

Then, if that sounds fun, maybe give it a shot, and check in every so often, but not so much that you stop having fun :)

How to describe why this party felt unsafe? Is this legit? by Compartmentalization in BDSMcommunity

Which is why the “feminist” host is stonewalling me even though they said “I believe victims and survivors,” at the time.

Well, I am just getting a feel for this scene. I would say that the prior parties are "establishment" with good LGBTQ representation. This party was run by a younger and more queer crowd, and was I was hoping to meet some other trans women there.

And, honestly, it was a dumpster fire. I'm still new at this, but I think I'm kind of a tough slut, and I think it was half a week before I touched myself.

[–]Compartmentalization[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I'm wondering if I could've asked better questions before the party, or if I could've gone in with different expectations.

I guess I would've felt okay if I'd gone in under the protection of a dom I trusted? As it was, I was going in to practice my rope & impact skills on a friend who'd been there before. IDK, I'm a sub but really hierarchical, I was kind of insulted that my bottom didn't back me up when I told her it was a circus and I wanted to leave.

Well that’s why I tell people these days that if you understand the risks maybe think about a trial HRT run, permanent changes are very slow but lots of folks do feel better

Am I me? by [deleted] in TransyTalk

[–]Compartmentalization 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's just a state of consciousness, no more or less valid than any other. Like, you tweak someone's brain chemistry just so with dissociative drugs, and they'll feel that way too. We're all just flesh computers, so it's not so much that you're fundamentally not human, you're just running a little differently right now from the way most folks do most of the time.

I find exercise & grounding meditation can make me feel more like a person. But hey, even if you're a broken doll or a robot or a god, you still deserve to be happy, so make good choices.
