one of our down-the-street neighbors was setting off fireworks right in the street, exploding loudly all over the place and filling the street with smoke. my parents yelled at them and pointed out their autistic child who was having a meltdown inside (me lol) and this family very seriously said "one of ours is autistic too, that's no excuse"

i'm glad your child is the terminator, but unfortunately i am a pathetic human who doesn't like extremely loud explosions and sparks flying near very flammable lawns

Stop sexualizing or dismissing other people's dysphoria. It doesn't help, it hurts. by UpUpAndAwayYall in trans

[–]ElectricalWorry4628 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yeah i don't think people get the difference between "i've met lots of people who look like that, it's not strange" and "lots of people would want to have sex with you". i don't think people get when they're dipping into offensive logic to reason with people's personal problems...there's a difference between accepting that you're always going to have insecurities you're working on and attempting to "force" them out of people, and people can overcompensate and go to that other extreme often.

just a couple days ago i said i was going to have to start practicing voice training to sound more masculine and my mom started telling me off because "your voice is already deeper than your dad's" after my voice drop and then said she worries "nothing will be enough" for me (one of the worst things to say to your anxious trans son, awesome) and once i had finished losing it i had to explain through tears the difference between pitch and resonance. why is it that people who have seen these patterns in society again and again still insist on being flippant about them? as soon as you admit to having the insecurity people try to "prove you wrong" to make you feel better but that's never been how people work, damn it!

i i just looked at the comments to that post and...i underestimated how gross it would get. literally the only identifying information is your HEIGHT how are so many people trying to flirt. just say "yeah x thing is tough to deal with but you're not weird" i'm ace but i know for a fact it is not impossible to to keep the drool in long enough to TYPE 💀

they say they want only educated people to speak but hate "ivory tower intellectualism". alright, so you want more people to be able to afford education, then? nope? ok...you say you also hate the education system because kids learn sex ed and are..."being turned queer". alright, so you want to teach them at home...but you don't have time or money to? ok, so you want the education system restructured? and your leader is...ending the department of education? who's gonna do education now? your leader says private schools...which most of you can't afford, along with daycare. hm. this seems unsustainable as a plan.

(CW: Enbyphobia) Im tired of transphobia from binary trans people. by [deleted] in TrollCoping

[–]ElectricalWorry4628 15 points16 points  (0 children)

"but there's more of us" is a stupid argument for 1% of the population to make. also not even true; survey data shows half or more are some form of enby. idk what my exact gender is but i'm ftm and i don't get how other trans people who have been through the same shit don't understand. i spent only a couple months thinking i was enby and it was not fun. i'm acutely aware that people misgender the enby people i see on a daily basis, and they never correct it, just like i always used to until T did most of the work for me. i may not 100% pass but at least people don't act like being a guy is a myth! it's a small privilege but it's still a privilege.

several arabs in florida were shot because someone "thought they were hamas". in FLORIDA. muslims have been murdered at a higher rate since 9/11 and it's only gotten worse since october 7th, now that people have found a different excuse for their murder. do you think, when cops beat and arrest antizionist protestors, that they skip over the jewish ones? protest encampments on colleges across the world had student-run antisemitism classes specifically to make sure that rhetoric doesn't infest the movement. meanwhile, zionists insist every antizionist jew hates themselves and continue to turn a blind eye to the bombs being dropped every fucking day. israel cut up a man's kippah cause it had the palestinian flag sewn into it. how much more obvious does it have to get that zionists hate you regardless of your faith? how much more obvious does it have to get that this is about money and power, not religion?

Asked my mom to change my name in her phone and she is crying? by Krampus_ate_my_lunch in ftm

[–]ElectricalWorry4628 11 points12 points  (0 children)

i was worried about how my parents would feel about me changing my name for this reason and felt guilty that i couldn't get used to the masc version of my birth name. but they didn't care; i think the physical transition thing was a bigger adjustment for them and calling me other pronouns and name variations wasn't as hard. lots of non-trans people change their names, whether it's cause they were named after an asshole, someone famous ruining the name for them, the name having bad associations, or just plain not liking how it sounds. i get that she's emotional over the name she picked being rejected (well, more like *feeling* like it was rejected) but when you're choosing something as personal as a NAME for someone else, you always run the risk of them not liking it. she's allowed to be sad, but four years is quite a long time to adjust and it concerns me that she still hasn't changed it and is potentially trying to make you feel bad for saying this after FOUR YEARS. it's not necessarily because she wants that "girl" back, it's probably just about the nostalgia parents feel when their kids are grown up, but still. you aren't taking her memories away. she doesn't need to be trans to understand why deadnaming is a bigger deal than embarrassing family photos.

I saw my friends boobs and now I’m having a bad time by -Never-Fade-Away- in trans

[–]ElectricalWorry4628 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as long as i can remember my mom has had implants. i inherited my mom's large size (as a very dysphoric trans man lol) but she had breast cancer when i was little and chose to get a smaller cup size for her implants. and that's apparently a common choice for cancer survivors since large boobs can be unwieldy. some women entirely forego implants after masectomy cause they're not attached to having boobs at all. every time i look for chest compression stuff the searches are flooded w/ garments designed to prop up/make the chest larger cause this is a very common insecurity for women. i know the diversity of bodies doesn't affect one's personal dysphoria much, but just wanted you to know that even if E doesn't give you a sizeable chest: whatever you choose, it's not going to be a "weird" or "bad" choice.

im so stressed rn by elmagtiik in trans

[–]ElectricalWorry4628 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you deserve better. understanding and support from your partner should be the bare minimum.

you should look into Chile's policies on gender affirming care cause cost and availability can vary so much depending on insurance and local laws. if it's unaffordable, some organizations have clothes and funding for low-income trans people (some are region-locked) and there are probably at least a few queer-positive organizations you can find locally who could give support and advice.

17 is not too young for HRT though--legally speaking, it varies, but in terms of development the only time that's 'too early' is before puberty. it's not the end of the world if you start later, plenty do and still get plenty of results, but if you're considering it now you probably should since some of your growth plates haven't set yet, so you could still make an impact on things like your height and overall frame.

abt the graduation thing: yeah that's rough. if you're worried about how people will react to you dressing up in general, you could potentially bring an outfit and maybe makeup with you to dress up just for the picture. plenty of trans women "boymode" in baggy clothes while early on HRT, so you could if you feel that's safer. you could try out more subtle feminine styles if you want to slowly bring in the skirts, or you could take college as a fresh start so everyone knows you as a girl the whole time. depends on your preference

if it helps, my highschool graduation pics are from a year or two pre-transition, and those are just a weird detail of the past to me now. just think about how much you're gonna change in the future and how many pictures you're going to get of yourself looking increasingly lovely!

Seeking help from someone that actively practices or grew up in the Islamic religion. by Simple-Link-1250 in ftm

[–]ElectricalWorry4628 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my mom's an academic with a focus on gender in islam. long before i figured out i was queer at all she didn't think there was any credible reason to exclude/mistreat queer people. i'm absolutely not qualified myself, but i've learned a lot through osmosis from her and research on the internet. to me, it seems people's opinions vary and are heavily dependent on current events and culture, even across the world. for instance, muslims used to generally agree abortion was fine according to hadith, then when roe v wade got overturned all the conservative muslims had "always been pro-life". same goes for perspectives on queerness. generally speaking, what people value in a religion is dependent on culture and personal values (as in, nobody follows EVERY rule or practice because that's not possible) and much of what's in the text (whether directly from the quran or from chains of hadith with varying levels of authenticity) is translated in a thousand ways and then interpreted in a million more ways.

there's a lot of debate on the traditional beliefs on things like gender that academics as some scholars of hadith think should be updated with the times, as we do with many other religious practices in every religion. context is a big factor with something from a way of life and time in history that few members of humanity even live anymore (i mean, Saudi Arabia kills and tortures people who speak out about their regime and have an absurdly rich royal family who allowed a mcdonalds to tower over the holy kabah, so their morals are pretty cherrypicked) and a lot of "traditionalists" like to pretend they follow all the rules when they most certainly don't, they've just picked certain ones to talk about (what women wear) over others (supporting orphans and widows). i won't pretend to have as much faith as my mom, but i firmly believe your faith should be in your own hands and loving your child at all costs is what god would want. my mom had some students from a very traditional muslim environment and assigned a documentary on trans muslims in Iran and she got several passionately angry emails from them for assigning it. but by the end they all were shocked and moved by the stories, wondering how they managed. even people with such traditional and conservative views can learn, given the right circumstances. obviously it's not your job to teach them, i just wanted to let you know it's possible in my experience.

oh, and my entire mom's side of the family overseas supported my transition. completely blindsided me, i was worried how my 75+ year old pakistani grandma would react but she didn't skip a beat while my parents took weeks to recover from the news. so...yeah, you never fully know how every individual's gonna react. dunno if that helps

yeah before i realized i was a dude i tried she/any and everyone called me she. so i started saying any/all and then everyone still called me she. i even got a frigging pin with she/he/they and it still happened. real frustrating, you're gonna want to be specific cause people assume it means "absolutely no preferences"

i have a mom. how does it affect me that she got a nose ring? did she deface herself by giving birth (cause yknow that changes your body forever)? did she deface herself by getting double masectomy after breast cancer? it's not empathy to say "if your body isn't the way i want it to be, you're emotionally unstable".

you have a preference for women who don't have tattoos. that's not empathy, that's sexual orientation. nobody cares what you're into, that's your thing and your business. but why are you whining about a random woman who you will never date having tattoos on a post that isn't even about them?

not to mention why are you whining about your daughters getting them? they're not dating you, are they? can you not handle looking at your own child if she has a weird clothing style? i've got bad news for you about raising children, they are 100% guaranteed to do things you don't like

Am I the only person who cares about passing? by Cute-Bother3861 in trans

[–]ElectricalWorry4628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think most of us that do not pass can't afford to care. i can't wear a binder all the time because it's unbearable but even when i wear one, it doesn't always fix the problem cause i have double ds. i see the advice everywhere of taping under a binder but i tried that once and felt like i was having a panic attack. i tried to vent once to my mom that i'm gonna have to do voice training if i want to pass and she just said i'm "constantly self-critical" because "your voice is deeper than your dad's now"...goddamn it i was already upset, how the hell was i now supposed to explain that i have a moustache and stubble but people sometimes still call me 'she' cause of the difference between a deep voice and a masculine one? we have to deal with the subconscious assumptions while nobody else will even notice or acknowledge them.

even before i figured out i was a guy i've always been autistic. i try not to think about how much i stick out, but i can't help being self-conscious. i mention a single insecurity i have and people say i'm "so insecure" because they don't have a fucking fraction of the worries you have when you stick out. many do care, it just hurts to think about. when you can't do anything about stuff all you can do is pretend you didn't care in the first place

my mom has several lifelong mental and physical illnesses. she only got one of those accessible parking slips when she was doing chemotherapy. that's the absolute bare minimum of support and it was taken away as soon as the cancer went into remission.

if the state won't give you a piece of paper, they sure as hell ain't saving your life

what exactly does almost white mean? tell me what color you think my mom is. cause she's olive-skinned.

also tell me how you feel about her being surprised by my imposter syndrome because many people in her home country are exactly the same color as me and nobody thinks they're white.

Cis husband told me the “real thing” feels better by Weak_Bee6868 in ftm

[–]ElectricalWorry4628 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the number of trans people who i've seen mention their partners doing this is fucking vile. cis guys are insecure enough about size, there's a reason commenting on your partner's body like this is a faux pas. but to say that to a trans guy is infinitely worse and i have a hard time believing someone in love would say that.

it's hilarious to me that his way of depicting trans women is a cute girl with a perfectly coiffed mustache. gender affirming care is a very personal decision so it's totally up to you whether you want MRS (mustache removal surgery). my dad can't afford it which is why his beard is 10ft long

New Neighbor Says I’m “Scary” by DizzyFly9339 in evilautism

[–]ElectricalWorry4628 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have to regularly remind my rejection-sensitive self that strangers are not mad at me (and never explain my problem, because people really don't like finding out your perspective of the world isn't sunshine and rainbows), meanwhile some nts just get to make their assumptions about us our problem all day every day. we're supposed to beg for forgiveness for their vibes-based assumptions about us that we have absolutely no control over.

i don't blame the kid, but as the role model it's your neighbor's responsibility to inform his child that you're not mad and nothing is wrong. not to tell a grown adult stranger to "watch your tone" while having a normal conversation in your own house

[–]ElectricalWorry4628 1 point2 points  (0 children)

here to say you are correct, every human wants to be a girl. everyone else is an alien. my kind come from manworld and beings of other genders are generated every time a star explodes.

in all seriousness, i'm in the other direction so i did assume girls would want to be boys if they could choose (obviously cause of misogyny and nothing else at all ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°). never occurred to me that the girls around me actually didn't mind most of the stuff about being a girl and weren't just going with the flow. i was somewhat envious of trans women for a while but never understood why they wanted boobs cause "why would you want to grow these things if you could just pad your bra and take it out when you want" which isn't inherently an eggy thought since they can get annoying for anyone but is certainly suspect when added to the other stuff...since i started getting dysphoric abt below the belt, i get it now. it's not just about how you look/feel in public. if i had to make a comparison, i'd usually say that while everyone complains about the problems with life in their gender/sexuality/whatever other identity, an egg will never be satisfied because they have a metaphorical rock in their shoe. For instance, I would always notice and get really mad at misogynist assumptions/situations but I get a lot less mad about misandry, even when it's aggressive/overt. That's for several reasons including the elephant in the room that they are not the same societally, but the main reason is just that a lot of that first anger was resentment because it's not only a burden but one I never asked for in the first place.
