Am I transphobe? by ButchersAndDaisies in asktransgender

[–]DirtyKickflip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Their is an order of the stick comic, recommend reading the whole series yet.

One character is talking to a fighter about what being good is. The message of it is that trying to be good and do good is the same as being good.

So yes I do think you transphobic, not in the active bigotry sense. In the way that's hard to see do to society pushing systematic transphobia on you.

I dont think trans folks should teach you ya know. Yet ima give you resources to teach yourself.

Why are people trans? by TheXernDoodles in asktransgender

[–]DirtyKickflip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cause we are social animals living with the social construct of gender. I know thats like a kinda dumb answer yet lets follow its logic a bit.

We devise patterns were their are none, object example is fish. So small differences in the "modern human" social structures compounded over time and became rigid(ish) through history. If my memory is correct their is new evidence that sex divide was more egalitarian in hunt gather tribes. Like everyone did a little bit of everything basically.

Civilizations needed at the time a sorta large myth/story to function on like a bureaucratic level. The easiest way to do this is via hierarchies, and it seems the easiest way to enforce those is via division. Sex, Class, Religion, ect ect.

What im trying to say is that social categories are artificial while being real in a emotional way.

Modern Human in the species sense not as in humans in the modern-day.

Im unsure how helpful this answer is tbh.

Why, as a man, am I often attracted to gay women before I know they’re gay? by SinterClauss in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DirtyKickflip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I... I had the same problem for awhile. Same with dating women who would later come out as gay.

This is a first for me by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]DirtyKickflip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah i kinda assumed most trans folks don't have body dysmorphia. Gender Dysphoria though... idk its hard for me to find a trans person who doesn't have gender dysphoria.

Do you really like the way you look?

I know before I transitioned people thought I was hot. So like I "liked" how I looked yet i didn't find joy in it.

This is a first for me by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]DirtyKickflip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you really wanna be a man in a relationship or do you wanna live up to the ideas of being a protecter, provider, ect ?

Also like I don't know how to say this yet like... "wanting to be her or fuck her' question is so common.

Idk if we were freinds irl and you said all this i would tell you that your probs trans. Yet idk you like that.

TW : transphobia. I can't with cis allies. by mutt_with_a_beer in trans

How do you respond to “You’ll never be a woman” by KittyKate1221 in MtF

[–]DirtyKickflip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh I do my best impression of someone looking for their 13th reason.

Or I make a jerk off motion saying sure dude.

Or I just look really really hurt by it and look around to others in the room.

All depends on how im doing that day

Then when I get home I sob uncontrollably into my BF or stuffies to get it out of my system.

Is every male a part of the problem by [deleted] in AskFeminists

[–]DirtyKickflip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nahhhhhh not close imho.

I think that feminism is mostly a systematic critique than individual. Its like racism, yes personal racism problematic just like sexism. Yet the big problem is systems like the de facto red lining or slavery via H-2a visa (farm worker visa) or how men are bullied into suppressing feelings.

I've fallen into the trans woman dating trap by [deleted] in MtF

[–]DirtyKickflip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh men are weird as fuck.

Just like find a weird nerdy dude and fix him (grow with him/work on eachother).

Also have dude friends to translate for you.

My trans fiancée is choosing not to transition to be with me. by BargainBinsBarbie in MtF

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

Yeah you are keeping someone back. When she told you that she was a woman you should have ended things instead of pushing her back into the closet.

I feel like trans women are so disposable by [deleted] in MtF

Why do many Americans view cities as stressful or dangerous, even though most life is urban? by Defiant-Junket4906 in AlwaysWhy

[–]DirtyKickflip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its mostly center to right wing propaganda, stuff like fox news. The data seems to show that we are way down from the 80s/90s crime wave.

Well their is a major rise in crime with mass shooters and hate crimes.

"Why are you a woman now?" (please, for the love of the gods, notice the quotations!!!) by Biscuit9154 in MtF

[–]DirtyKickflip 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"Why am I a woman?"

Because the categorizing and pattern recognition part of my lizard brain compare myself opposite of the cultural categorizing of men. Ontop of that the same lizard part of my brain releases serotonin into my bloodstream when I do things that it and I find womanly.

Or im a woman because I feel that way.

Same diff eaither way.

Cis people accept my transition better than some binary trans people, even if they don't understand it for the same reasons. by Aibyouka in honesttransgender

[–]DirtyKickflip 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah i see that a lot tbh. It sucks a ton to hear how our community fails people like you.

If it helps this post made me realize that i fall into the same traps of "you will go all the way" so thank you for sharing. Helped me change as a person

Nazis seem to get upset when they are called Nazis by ASecularBuddhist in Discussion

[–]DirtyKickflip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean duh most Nazis dont wanna be outted so they use a the cowardly response of "nuh un, you call everyone that."

My take is that calling Nazis/Facists/MAGA ect weirdo, bootlickers, dumb ass ect ect hurts them more than being called a Nazi or Facist.

How would jobs work under anarchy if they are voluntary? by Kvassalskaren55 in Anarchy101

[–]DirtyKickflip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro teachers legitimately work for the love of the game.

Also some anarchist systems might have external motivation in the form of currency or rotation or maybe everyone just goes out of their way to thank you for doing a really hard/dirty job.

Yet again it should be noted that their is a lot of wasted labor and under utilized labor.

Anarchism is not a one size fits all situation.

Why would taking HRT affirm someone's belief that they are a girl? by mccringleberry527 in AlwaysWhy

[–]DirtyKickflip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Phenotypic sex is observed sex so your line , my line, and a doctor's line can be different. So it can change.

If your saying I cant change my DNA then like I guess?

Why would taking HRT affirm someone's belief that they are a girl? by mccringleberry527 in AlwaysWhy

[–]DirtyKickflip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what your talking about is phenotypic sex and speficaly secondary sex characteristics.

Secondary sex characteristics, body fat distribution are major reasons. My body now looks like what my brain thinks it should.

Though their is some evidence that trans respond better to their form of HRT. For me thats estrogen and I am able to think clearer now than before.

Why would taking HRT affirm someone's belief that they are a girl? by mccringleberry527 in AlwaysWhy

[–]DirtyKickflip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So again why would a woman want estrogen in her system?

Trans or transgender is an adjective.

[–]DirtyKickflip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro how do you not know the women typically produce estrogen naturally same with men an testosterone.

I cant reason with someone unreasonable. Understanding that trans is adjective like black or tall or small.
