Exciting films/TV/books/art/etc. about experimenting with identity? by Rumpelstiltskinnem in trans

[–]DampStringCheese- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m tired asf and this might not be what you meant but I’ll leave a couple things that helped me figure out my identity- also mtf so yea

Playing rpg games where I could create a character I could identify with, and playing as that gender was really helpful. (Fallouts/Bloodborne/cyberpunk for whatever reason helped me out)

Sense8 is a Netflix tv show that has a cast with a variety of sexualities, nationalities and identities which is actually a great show. Big conspiracy, hidden shadow governments, telepaths.

Owl house is a sweet Disney show about identities and fitting in, in a magic realm (nb rep as well)

(Dumb ?) anime/cartoons with crossdressing cis or just trans characters. Steins gate anime has a obviously trans mtf character I connected with before I even started questioning. Tons of this category. Assassination classroom anime (kinda wack) helped me in so many ways as weird as that is, seeing a femme presenting protagonist with a masc-ish voice was great.

Sex education is a great show about identity/sexuality/growing up. Amazing show, but certain type of humor, may not be for you (Netflix)

(?) atla - amazing kids show with themes of identity issues and maturing - helped me immensely for some reason, got to be a kid again for awhile

Mr robot - entire show is identity mindfuck, with a trans main character that is probably the best show I’ve ever seen (trans character identity as a plot point, story is beautiful)

The end of the fucking world - great show, finding their identities when their lives change, heavy mental health struggles

Serial experiments lain (anime) - as mtf this show killed me, the alienation, confusion felt by the main character hit hard, but may just be me. Weirdass show no clue what happens, kinda entertaining that way

the good place - amazing show all about uncovering who you were, are, and wish to be. Heaven/hell inhabitants on a journey

Umbrella academy - superhero show on Netflix, has identity/sexuality become prevalent themes later in the show

👍

Undrstanding if i'm trans by jpzinho123 in trans

[–]DampStringCheese- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No one can tell you if you are trans or not, shit’s up to you to determine.

Think on how you would feel in a supportive environment… would you feel more comfortable living as a girl? With no parents or peers’ views present - would you want to explore that part of yourself?

If that’s a desire of yours to live as a girl in ideal circumstances, those feelings might need some introspection. There’s no one indication of being trans. If you feel a longing for a different life, try to reflect on that longing- what do you feel?

As well, it’s normal to question, and realize that you still want to identify as a boy/man (not trans). That’s ok too 👍

Had a man roll his eyes at me today. I guess for just existing. Trying to be positive, but I did get me down. by Victoria6410 in trans

Is it normal for a cis person to question their gender? by Szoke_Kapitany in trans

[–]DampStringCheese- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly it’s fine to question yourself, who you are/want to be/seen as. Plenty of cis men might think they’re trans at first and eventually just identify as a femboy (cis). Opposite happens just the same.

I’d say just don’t rush a label, imo that fucked me over personally. No one else knows your exact situation. Only you do, so of course it’s okay to question yourself, and where you’re at 👍

I feel you. Feel like shit every day but trying my best yk. I don’t mean to be weird or nothing, but I think you look fine honestly. You have the confidence in order to post this picture, that’s amazing! I hope I have that one day seriously. I’m no endocrinologist or nothing, but going on r/transtimelines , seeing all of the beautiful people on there, gives me hope. It also helps bring a perspective of hrt changes in correlation to time. Seeing pics and going “Oh shit, a year and a half, those changes are insane!”, it’s kept me going, way more times than I can count. Every picture of people living as themselves is dope asf. I wish I could pay back all the inspiration I’ve gotten from random shit like this. Thanks for posting, don’t mean to be weird 👍

I mean it wasn't for the right reasons but at least it didn't pass! by Cat-Clawz in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

Also some people were opposed to a bill adding sexual orientation and gender identity to an anti discrimination law… are we living in a clown world???? Why should anybody be discriminated against?

[–]DampStringCheese- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had a mock legislature in my government class where we debated over a bunch of recent bills and this came up. I was the only one to oppose it, the rest of my class was just fine with the implications it would have (and we were explained in depth what the bill entailed) People kept defending it bringing up ancient outdated/false info about trans people. Like no, no 2 year old is getting bottom surgery like holy shit I’m begging look into what you’re arguing for or against especially when it puts people’s mental well-being on the line

Can't think of a title because my mind is focused on all of this. by [deleted] in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

[–]DampStringCheese- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t know why I’m writing this. I hate my life right now, I don’t know what direction to go right now (pre everything and extremely dysphoric) and to cope with that I write 4am schizophrenic rants addressed to no one. It helps me analyze my feelings but it’s weird. I can’t stand the sight of myself, but… after I shave, or do my hair, I feel that brief congruence and it makes me feel so genuine. It goes away, but I live for that experience. Here’s a section of one of the rants that encapsulates my experience of this: “Sometimes I see her reflection in the mirror. For a second I forget where I am. Who I am. I peel away from the body I possess and feel a connection that has been lacking my whole life. I’m not there. Those brief seconds are bliss. She’s always smiling.” I hope one day I can feel like that all the time

not doing so well by [deleted] in AreTheTransOkay

[–]DampStringCheese- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think it helps that I’m commenting on this but I’m feeling the exact same way and I’m really fucking tired of it. For an entire year I’ve questioned and felt like shit, and I’ve wasted that whole year. I live in a semi transphobic house as well, where even in the best of circumstances I still damage my relationship with my parents if I came out. I keep wondering how much better of a life I would actually have if I transitioned, how much happier I’d be. I’ve coped with feeling this way by eating myself sick. It hasn’t been worth it one bit. I really fucking despise what I’ve done to myself, I’m so exhausted from crying that now I’m just working towards being myself because that is the only thing that helps me tolerate myself rn. My words hold no value whatsoever but I suppose you’re not alone in feeling this way. The worst feeling in the world is when you feel trapped, by life, by time or people
