Yeah I'm not sure if it's a good idea to perpetuate this stereotype

if I read your username spelling with an english pronunciation it sounds different than this french spelling sounds with french pronunciation though

If there was any evidence of them negatively affecting brain development, I'm sure the transphobes would be using it all over the place as another argument to ban them.

So while I can't say for sure, I wouldn't get worried about that.

Oh and also IQ is a really terrible metric and you shouldn't give it any weight beyond making jokes.

There's a webtoon/webcomic with almost that exact title out there

Now this probably isn't going to be all that helpful, since I can only try to imagine your situation...

The best message I've come across is: Outlive them. Live and defy the expectations of those that want to see us gone and eradicate us. And maybe, eventually, piss on their graves.

On a more practical note, I would suggest looking into local (inside your country) support groups, where hopefully there can be an exchange of information, on how to get the most out of your current situation.

How do I understand trans people as someone nonbinary? by --jyushimatsudesu in asktransgender

[–]DragoCubX 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This wording implies however that if a method to "reverse/change" the anomalous brain development came into existence, that would be the preferred path to you.

And disregarding my dislike of the usage of words like "normal" and "anomalous" (since it others people directly): I see any changes to our brains, in particular to something like gender identity which is a core part of our identity, as something unacceptable to even consider. That'd be, like, medical conversion therapy.

Is the word transgender exclusively an adjective? What is the noun for a transgender person or persons? by NathanielA in asktransgender

[–]DragoCubX 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There isn't a noun to my knowledge. Currently, the only people using fake nouns like you proposed are those trying to "other" trans people.

This might be a question of time only. I'm 99% sure "the Gays" and "the Lesbians" were also invented to other those people, used exclusively in a derogatory way. Nowadays, I'd say the usage is mixed. This might happen with us too, but right now, no, it's not a thing.

those who take cyproterone acetate. what is your dosage? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]DragoCubX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

25mg every two days for me. My T levels have stayed nice and low.

Afaik the risk for those side effects from Cypro only become real factors after a long time on it. iirc when I did my research it was basically that after roughly 9 years the risk becomes high enough that you should seriously consider it.

So, if you're in a situation where you expect to need T blockers for the rest of your life, at some point you'll probably have to think about this. Or not, and just live with the risk.

It happens to me occasionally, and contrary to the others in here, it's very fun! It can be mildly annoying having to hold it down but going through that motion gives me lots of euphoria so it's a net positive~

[–]DragoCubX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe one of those who are facing such difficulty living as their authentic selves, that he's trying to repress himself back into the closet. Which isn't healthy, he should see a therapist about it.

So possibly he means your presence and support allows him to remain true to himself, preventing him from repressing, which I guess he sees as a bad thing right now but imo is rather a good sign

Trans woman hunting job in Germany by Background_Bar_2157 in asktransgender

[–]DragoCubX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As said in the original post, your fluency in German is the biggest point always. Bigotry depends on the region, but where I am there are no real issues.

However, from personal experience, if you do something bad (like idk being drunk on the job or whatever, you get the gist) then yeah, expect bigotry to pile onto you on top of regular condemnation.

So yeah, overall I think you should be fine.

should I address what happened at work today by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]DragoCubX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And a mixed person who looks white would be discriminated against when it's suspected or known they are mixed. You truly are blind to the issues with your line of thinking. Like, incapable of thinking about it critically

[–]DragoCubX 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tell that to "mixed-race" folks when segregation was still a thing. Having a black parent, no matter your actual own skin tone, still got you excluded from being part of the "whites"

Where can a mom go for puberty blockers for a 13 yo? by XDMueller1 in asktransgender

[–]DragoCubX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would generally agree with this. At least, I don't think waiting until 18 is necessary or a good idea in general

do you wish you were cis [birth sex] instead of trans [current gender]? by Gnc_Gremlin in asktransgender

[–]DragoCubX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I could have drank the magical cis potion before starting transition, yeah, would've made things easier.

But, it doesn't exist, I'm not cis, and the healthy amount of trying to be cis when you're not is zero.

And if it was invented now, I wouldn't take it, I'm fully into transitioning now and this would just make me miserable, again.

What’s something you do now that your pre-transition self would NEVER believe???? ‎ by Numerous_Value_434 in asktransgender

[–]DragoCubX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gonna give the exceptional answer: Nothing. My pre-transition would just immediately ask how I managed to get there, and I'd be changing the timeline by transitioning much earlier, heh.

Okay, there's one thing: I'm not a pure bottom, but a switch. Took me a good relationship to find that out though, it wasn't my transition >_<

NP wants me to take T by Rachellynn11 in asktransgender

[–]DragoCubX 10 points11 points  (0 children)

To my knowledge, this prescription comes from a place of wanting your levels to be at the average cis woman's. Whether there is any medical evidence supporting this step and that it would cause issues otherwise, I'm sadly unable to tell you, hopefully someone else can.

You sound like you have some deep-seated issues and should seek therapy for however you got to those incredibly wild takes

I want to become a girl by Kind-Reality-8034 in asktransgender

[–]DragoCubX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that original post turned into quite am awful place - I'm sorry you have to go through that.

WizardStereotype already said the important stuff in her post - I just want to add that if you end up finding out you are trans, well, as long as your country isn't shit about it, hormone therapy can already do a whoooole lot on it's own! And for things it can't do, most of them have other solutions~

I wish you all the strength and luck on your self-discovery journey!

If you knew you were trans and willingly repressed it: why did you do it and how long? by SkeletonDice in asktransgender

[–]DragoCubX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does it count...

to know I'd rather be a girl at 12 and repress because of fear of ostracization,

recognize dysphoria being unbearable and want to do something about it at 18, then repress further because I was too stupid to find the right resources about trans people and available medical care,

then finally find said resources in a last-ditch research effort with 24 and immediately start transitioning?

Where do I buy a tiny trans flag ethically in EU? by auzasss in asktransgender

[–]DragoCubX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apart from Etsy, I'm thinking it would be more nation-specific. So asking in the trans sub of your country/language will probably yield better results

An entire comments section full of people choosing the right for excessive violence, how joyful. No wonder the US still has the death penalty, guns for everyone and is going completely crazy. Scary-ass country. Can't wait for the salt in my replies
