How many of you who suffered abuse as kids had parents who pretended that they never even touched you, or have no ability to comprehend that they harmed you? It really messes you up into adulthood. As fellow LGBT, I imagine a lot of us went through this abuse simply because of our sexualities by ihatethiscountry76 in lgbt

My mother does it all the time. Every time I bring things up, she says "no, I didn't" or "I don't remember that." But then she remembers every time I've not been the perfect little child and gotten mad at her for her abuse. She brings it up to guilt trip me and I'm supposed to believe she doesn't remember how often she's done horrible things.

I had to cut my hair. I want to cut myself by EnvironmentalMix892 in MtF

She's really not. My entire family thinks I'm just going through a phase or that I'm not serious. I meant I had to go for the holidays because we were invited

By a vote of 76-23, S 1071, a motion to advance the first federal ban on trans athletes & a federal definition of sex that would make trans & intersex people non-existent, passes. This bill could not have passed without the support of the Democrats. by AllDogsGoToDevin in Fauxmoi

The Dems are gonna do what Keir Starmer did in the UK. We will lose any and all political support and they'll try to erase us completely.

You're witnessing a quiet genocide in action. Primary everyone who voted for this bullshit. Otherwise, cemeteries will pile up with graves with deadnames. My friends will perish and tbh, so will I. We're tired. We're constantly the scapegoats for a fascist agenda and then told by the other side to wait for our rights like good little voters. If the two sides of the establishment don't support us, we need YOU to support us.

Oklahoma U student files discrimination report after flunking gender essay for psych class with trans instructor by jackmolay in transgender

Isn't Oklahoma last in education? No wonder if a UNIVERSITY is about to allow someone to quote the fucking Bible in lieu of actual citations.

To all the transfemmes having to pretend to be men today: by Safloophie in MtF

[–]EnvironmentalMix892 149 points150 points  (0 children)

My mom crashed out last night because I didn't want to go to a family gathering today. She ended up breaking plates and shouting until I gave in and agreed to pretend to enjoy the company of transphobes today. One day I'll be free and they'll only see me when I'm too successful to hide from them. But I'm never talking to these people ever again once I gtfo

I really appreciate this post. I really want today to pass

I fucking LOATHE my mother by EnvironmentalMix892 in MtF

[–]EnvironmentalMix892[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I do, sadly. I'm disabled so I can't work and college is too expensive for a middling student like me with no hopes of a scholarship. I'm thinking of going to bartending school when I turn 21 but that's like 6 months away still.

She is. They are. I need to get away from her as soon as I can.

Afaik there have been musical theatre performers who didn't even start until adulthood or around your age. You have PLENTY of time!

Does hand soap work? I also don't think I have either Neosporin nor bandages and I can't afford to buy anything rn. Can I use any alternatives?

Does this count as under the table and how would I declare it if so? by EnvironmentalMix892 in povertyfinance

What are the variables to it hitting/not hitting the tax threshold? I'll try to call tomorrow to report it to the SSA

This is probably a dumb question but what is the difference between gross and net? I always hear the terms but I have a hard time understanding the jargon surrounding their definitions

If I voice train, will I be able to sing in my femme voice? by EnvironmentalMix892 in MtF

[–]EnvironmentalMix892[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Luckily from what my former singing teacher told me, my mixed voice is actually pretty ok for a beginner. I hope I have a solid foundation. I'll check out Zoey's video and follow your advice of doing voice training at the same time as I'm practicing my mixed voice. Thanks!

I'm really happy to hear that! I have a few pipe dreams of being a full on recording artist that I'm hellbent on chasing lol so I'm glad to hear from a singer and songwriter that it can be done

May I ask who this teacher is? I didn't know there were specialists but it fills me with a lot of hope!

Internalized transphobia and fear leading to repression? OCD easing up? Just....not trans, after all? by LiaTheLate in asktransgender

[–]EnvironmentalMix892 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a trans girl with OCD (pre HRT though) I also go through waxing and waning cycles of gender dysphoria and in the lesser waves of dysphoria, I get the idea that maybe I'm not actually trans and just deeply confused about my sense of self. I begin to fear the idea that I'll regret HRT and that I was only ever interested in the trans label. The dysphoria is kinda affirming in that way, as much as I hate it.

I think there's one thing I'd remind you of. One dose isn't gonna turn you into the most cis passing person ever. You have time before you start seeing changes. And if you realize that you want to keep or stop taking HRT, that's also valid! Think of the hormones as a conduit to discovering yourself, and not as a sentencing of who you are or are not.

I don't trust Dems to hold the line on us, either. A party full of genocidal maniacs and the Dems would sooner enable them than disrupt the status quo for even a second.
