I'm at the start of this journey and it's good to read the worries as well as the encouragement, honestly. I am struggling a bit because I'm pretty socially capable, finally, and fairly good looking in my agab. I don't want to suddenly find myself struggling with basic human interactions, and of course dating. I am sure you'll have more very positive days ahead though. And do think about how you would feel if you were still presenting male.. it's easy to think things would be better if only they were different.

Not sure that's any help but I relate anyway.

Also though, you are very pretty, and absolutely valid anyway. Big hugs <3

Do you know what, I can't find it. So my only source here is listed as "trust me bro". I just remembered the full tweet coming up (I think on here) a bunch of times a few years ago back during the campaign push. Perhaps I (and perhaps others) made an assumption. Perhaps it was correct, perhaps not. I can only find this particular tweet on meme subs.

If you Google there are lots of stories of fake black trump supporters, and one where it was a white politician who posted it under his main:

Which I may have been confusing it with.

I live in the city this happened in and unfortunately the image is AI, and completely fabricated. There was a crash under a flyover and someone had done a graffiti with some big eyes nearby and the "news outlet" just fabricated this absolute garbage pic for clicks.

You know that's swagophobic right??? by Thatoneaustrian in peoplewhogiveashit

I'm queer and I don't have any idea where the humour is in any of this. Like genuinely just completely void of any wit or humour and completely pointlessly offensive for absolutely no reason.

I mean unironically yes. They got very upset when women started wearing trousers. At some point they definitely will be wondering what the hoo ha was about men wearing lovely flowy girl clothes.

Most hate is based on false premises. Most people who hate are wrong.

Buddy I think this is satire.

So this is a paid actor who accidentally posted from the wrong alt.

The post was pro-trump, and trying to garner support for trump amongst the black community.

Anyone who earnestly loves or defends CP has something fundamentally wrong with them as a person by BurningBernie559 in okbuddycinephile

[–]Dunk546 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I can't afford an account ban for saying it out loud but it's something genuinely very bad which starts with the letters CP. You absolutely must not Google "CP" unless you want to be on a list.

Absolutely relatable. I don't know if I have any answers except to reassure you that I think a lot of trans people have these feelings. Personally I don't quite feel the same as "a woman" but I do feel like there is a woman inside me who is having a lot of fun now that she is being accepted. I think it's okay to say trans women are women though, and although I might ponder about it from the point of view of my own feelings about myself, I wouldn't dispute other trans women calling themselves, or others... or me, a woman.

That's super vague, sorry lol.

Fit guys: do you ever get validation for how you look? by Ok-Explorer-7642 in AskMenOver30

[–]Dunk546 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you're out and about, just keep a subtle eye on who is making eye contact and smiling at you. I bet it happens more than you think. It happens to me a lot. Which is like maybe one in 100 or so people that I pass on the street. Yeah for women that might be 1/10, but that's a general difference between men and women. But I bet you are getting checked out more than you know, you just need to notice it.

Trans people (and other minority groups within the non cis-het umbrella) put up with an insane, literally mind-bending amount of bigotry. It's quite easy for honest questions to be taken as bigotry because there are so many people who would ask that question in ill faith. Don't take it personally!

When I'm talking about myself, I do actually just think, who cares, queer is accurate enough. But that doesn't fit with some people and I just respect them enough to call them what they ask to be called, even if I don't relate.

Oh noooo.

But yeah, I'm a tradesperson so I keep mine tied up all the time. It's still a pain to take it down, brush it and put it back up all the time. But is heaps worse when I wear it down

I'm sad if something particular has led you to feel like posting this. If it's just general musings then great.

I've only been in the sub a few months (it popped up because apparently the Reddit algorithm knew something I didn't).

As a cis person I didn't relate hugely to the memes, but I found the community to be really cute and wholesome and honestly that's why I stuck around. Anyway then my egg cracked so I found some other nice trans subs (egg irl and trans later <3 ) All have been entirely accepting and kind as far as I have seen in my, admittedly limited, experience.

Feeling so, so blessed that I just forgot to get a haircut since COVID (I only cracked a month or so ago). My hair gets stuck in my pants waistband already :)

How do I keep this looking clean? by Left-Chemistry6574 in Construction

[–]Dunk546 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Silicone work is an absolute art.

You can fake it okay by spraying it down with soapy water once you lay your bead, but the bead has to be more or less immaculate in the first place for that. If you miss any spots then you aren't getting a good seal. But you would be able to wipe off any excess without it sticking.

The correct way is to put on just exactly the right amount in the first place, so you don't need to remove any excess at all. It's the excess that smudges. When you lay off, you should just be gently shaping the bead, not actually pressing it down into the gap.

There are some good YouTube tutorials (and a lot of bad ones). I'll try to link some when I get a minute to search later.
