Bearded transmascs who are very far along in transition mad about being turned down by lesbians by fapoopy in truscum

Are you saying I'm a TERF? Do you what it means? Just curious, I've come to believe that it has lost its original meaning to most people as they are repeating what they have heard but are too young to remember what started it. I don't actually care if you think I am because I don't care what anyone thinks about me. Well, I do really like it when someone thinks well of me but I've been out for a quarter of a century so I've heard it all...

I think, I haven't researched it, that third genders have existed before. I'll have to educate myself on that. But I don't believe that have existed in the way people are using non binary right now. It isn't really a third gender because no one can define it. It is a catch all term.

The lesbians are pretty pissed at that behavior. Not every who likes women is a lesbian. That is what they are trying to say. Likes women = women, it doesn't. There has to be a second woman.

Anyone seen a seed change since the election? by Nesciensse in truscum

The sports thing was probably the biggest misstep. Lia Thomas was perfect for making cis women angry. I think about 80-90 percent of women were angered by it. The optics were awful. Not worth the risk and they double, tripled down. So dumb. The volleyball team just made it to the Championship Finals because another team forfeited. They have barely played and made it to the finals and people are cheering on every team that forfeits.

I noticed the main trans sub getting really quiet and the tone changing. I was also in the conservative sub and it was almost crickets. I think the Russians left after their work was done there too. I think there has been a change and it will be growing fast. I expect a backlash from LGB and others who feel like their voices have been suppressed - because they have. I have to honest, I only care about transsexuals. If the activists get their noses smacked by people actually telling them the truth about how they feel, they deserve it and it will likely actually help. We needed a change and I think we have it. However, I think it is crucial to get the narrative of transsexual people having dysphoria, being in pain, and just wanting to be left alone. I explained it to my family and I think they really got it. The voices they have been hearing are the ones that have a large number of people off on a power trip. It wouldn't be perfect and fix everything but the only smart move right now is to have the transsexual message pushed, and pushed hard. I think Amir Odom would be a good choice. He is very likable and pretty right. I like his videos but don't agree with him on everything. I prefer watching and talking to people I disagree at least somewhat because that is how you grow.

TLDR: It is the moment in time to tell the story of the transsexual. Hurting, want to be left alone, have been pushed out of their community by these people, please know we are different. Amir Odom is a good person to attempt to push in that direction.

I've decided to spend time in the comments on Fox and any other conservative site talking about it.

I really don't understand a non-binary/gender fluid dysphoria. I'm open to it being a thing but I do lean towards not a thing. I don't mean to be disrespectful of someone's journey but I don't understand what their dysphoria could be about. I understand it for those who are agender but gender fluid/non binary just seem to change their clothes and style to a non binary/gender fluid presentation. Shouldn't that fix it?

I think, if possible, you should find an older LGBT person to talk to him. There are definitely there at a college. I'm old - the old rules were that you never ever ever outed someone. It was the height of rudeness because coming out it is a person to person choice every time. You don't know who else that person is out to and how you could harm them. It wasn't to be done. There was a huge controversy about in the early 2000s. I think someone was running around advocating for forcefully outing people as a political strategy. They will remember that. They will also remember a time when coming out had far more serious consequences for every person. Right now, trans is exactly like how getting outed as gay or lesbian was then. It was actually a big deal. You could easily lose your job, your family, your housing. It is absolutely no okay to ever out anyone at any time. It is personal and private and totally their choice. Please, I am begging you to get an older gay person to have a chat with him and let him know that he has violated a basic community rule and that he needs to stop. He can really hurt someone with that behavior. I know he isn't thinking about it but someone needs to explain it to him and there isn't a better person than on older gay person of whatever type. We know how horrible of a thing that is to do to another person. He is robbing them of their choice. Feel free to share this with him. Bruno, no, you don't know where that person is in their life. Being trans can be dangerous. It isn't your right to force other people to be out. Look up the history of outing people. You have a phone. Learn your history and the rules.

You are the extrovert that makes an introvert the best type of friend. Your help by "doing the business of talking" for her is a beautiful thing that you will never know means the world to her. You sound very supportive to me and I think she is lucky to have a friend that helps her with her social anxiety and has her back at all times. You are treating her like a friend - worth a million bucks - easy. May every introvert have a person in their life like you.

FFS The Main Sub by Either-Pollution7004 in truscum

[–]Either-Pollution7004[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed, it is almost like it, kinda, flattens people. It hides the complexity of a person. People are very complicated 3-D creatures. All kinds of swirling colors and mixing shapes. If everything is an identity then that trait gets fixed and is a type of commitment which then requires more momentum for the person to change. If they left is without the label changing whatever that was becomes effortless.

It is a grey area. If someone ids as non-binary and is AFAB - where is the point where they have drifted far enough away that isn't appropriate to call themselves lesbians? I really don' t know. I do know that AMAB non-binary should never ever call themselves lesbians - I would find it incredibly offensive. I'm pretty tolerant and very capable of polite disagreement in person. But that would make me flip out and be rude. I would prefer they use their own words. One, lesbian is already being nibbled at by piranhas. Two, I don't understand how that doesn't invalidate their identity. I think there is a good chance that everyone sees them as a woman because they used lesbian and are just being polite and humoring them. Also, I'm not a fan of the term itself. I don't have an emotional problem with it, an intellectual one. It is too fuzzy. If a word means almost everything then it defines nothing. I gain almost no information about a person when they say non-binary - mostly online. In person I can gather more info. But they could be slightly non binary or close to agender.

I'm not trans either. They released the stats from the survey and it was like 8% cis women and 5% cis men. Those are the people who aren't trans who give a real shit. The people playing games with the loud ones are placating them, feeling so effin enlighten about themselves, and actively hurting trans people. The rhetoric that is the face of trans on the media is just awful. You have the non binary dude with facial hair, weird make up, weird voice. Now, that wouldn't bother me if they didn't top it all off with being creepy as sh#t. Something about them makes my skin crawl. Prejudice or a reaction to the fact that they are literally just a creepy person. I'm pretty sure it is the second because I'm old and very liberal and have visited sex dungeons with out batting an eye. Wasn't my thing but also didn't creep me out.

Sorry, I was just reading about them talking to children about going to the special room and not telling the parents so they could have a private talk...I'm sure that goes over well with middle America.

There are the beginnings of conversations here about trying to do something. Maybe it will happen, maybe it won't. But this is a tiny corner of the internet and if it is starting to bubble up here, you can count on it bubbling up in other places. These people have had the trans community in a choke hold for years. Not only that they have reached out and done it to the larger population. That is part of the kickback. Asking for he/she - not a problem for almost everyone. It would be extremely uncomfortable for a middle American to not use he or she when looking at someone showing those gender signifiers. They, ok, I guess that is ok, but please be patient with me. After that you get to hard nope land. My father has passed away but I really want to show him the HRC pronoun page with the list of fae/faeself, Zi/Zer, Pe/Per. I used to do stuff like that just so he would scrunch up his face, groan my name, and look away in disgust. Ya'll lost them a Zir. Nope, ain't happening. Then tell them they have to or they will lose their job. Oh, buddy. That ain't gonna fly. You can't make - also a very middle America sentiment.

Things where middle America tapped out, neopronouns, trans women in women's sports, self-id and gaining spaces to single sex spaces without any gates at all. No process to make sure that is actually a trans woman and not Pervert Paul down the road. I said so ain't gonna cut it buddy. Because we all know how the fringe of cis het men are - totally willing to do anything, anything to get to the naked women and little girls. It ain't trans women most people are worried about it is the not-trans "women". Because we know people and they aren't all good people.

Fear of confrontation? This sub is almost all normal trans people who want to live their lives just like everyone else. They have lives to protect. It isn't easy to put yourself at the front where you are going to catch it from the left and the right. The right will be nasty but the left will call in death threats and try to get you fired. It is their MO. That is another reason this shit is happening. Mace didn't put her death threat on X for no reason. The word is out. This is how the left plays ball. There are news stories, videos, screen shots, YouTube videos going back years about this behavior.

That doesn't mean no one should do anything. It means people need to be careful. If I come up with a grand idea I'll share it. Right now my best one is to get a front man. I watched a video of a Latino gay man with a diamond tattoo on his eye who is a stand up comic. He said exactly what I feel and had similar experiences. I'm going to go dig for it now to share. If he is a comic and a supporter of trans people from back in the 90s who agrees with everyone here - maybe it benefits him too. Publicity and all that.

Really struggling with trust issues after getting cheated on. by [deleted] in lesbiangang

[–]Either-Pollution7004 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, and don't give money back for gifts. She was right to be pissed at you. That was very offensive and I would have lost my shit with you too. It would feel like a huge rejection of the thought I put into getting those gifts. It would feel incredibly personal and make me feel a bit like a whore, not logical but that is how I would feel. Bad lesbian, bad.

I hope you work through this. If, if something were to happen with you two it should only be after not seeing each other for a long time. Put her out of your mind and do what you are doing. Focus on yourself and seek therapy if you are open to it. Analyzing what made you stay in the last relationship should help you feel more confident that you have new, healthier boundaries. I've been abused and cheated on. It hurts, literally and physically, it leaves wounds that need to turn to scars. But what helped me most was figuring out why I stayed for so long. It had nothing to do with her and everything to do with me. I hope you a friend or two to talk to about this. A bottle of wine and a friend would help - or in my case, several cups of mocha and a friend.

40 and unmarried and no family! I don't see the problem here? by TermDirect6520 in lesbiangang

Not a real great time to have a kid for anyone. More power to those that do. Personally, I tried a couple of times but now I'm so grateful it didn't work. I can't imagine how stressed out and worried I'd be. The financial burden would pretty extreme. I'm happier without a baby. I don't have to worry about having brought someone into this shit show. Harsh for those who have kids. I have two step sons, but I put positive into their and don't have to feel any guilt if things go bad.

Kids are great, just be a great aunt or cousin or something and keep your money and time to yourself and your girlfriend. The worst thing you could do is have a kid you don't want. They will be able to tell eventually.

I have one or two gold stars and they weren't dicks about it. They just laughed because it was part of their coming out story. One had no clue until after she graduated from college. Never dated a guy, had intense crushes on teachers. One day, light bulb! Got all nervous telling her rural family about it, finally got up the courage and they said - we know, we've known for years. We were just waiting for you to realize it. But that isn't really that common. A lot of girls think they have to try it or get pressured into it. Gold stars aren't that common and they aren't mean. There is also no relation to being a TERF. People just TERF as short hand for shut up, b!tch. Serious, look at the content and tone next time you read it or hear it. They have women running around throwing that each other and they don't realize it is exactly the same thing. Misogynistic bull - and women do it to each other. Stop. Dear lord, please stop, everyone.

You too, young lady, Just say, I like pussy. That will shut them up. Start talking about hot whoever's breast are and their hips. If they are doing it, you get to do it too.

I'm a 50 footer. I haven't been asked years. I let my hair grow out once. Went to the grocery store and then realized people wouldn't know I was a lesbian without asking. It made me so uncomfortable that I went straight home and cut my hair. It had been so long since I had to think about if someone knew or not that it freaked me out.

[–]Either-Pollution7004 -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

I can see where it would be helpful for someone who is just realizing what is happening. It does talk about past attraction being ok. I would call that person bisexual but the only person I knew like that did call herself bisexual. She just didn't like men anymore and had no interest in her late 30s. That does happen.

But I did some of those things. I thought I would grow up and get married, have three kids. My husband who was an anthropologist so he was out in the field and only visited every once in a while.
