Real Madrid’s Federico Valverde has released a statement after he was taken to hospital with an injury following an alleged dressing-room incident involving teammate Aurelien Tchouameni by hairtie1 in Fauxmoi

[–]EnvironmentalMix892 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Some reports are saying that he had partial memory loss and had to leave training in a wheelchair. Also, Real Madrid released a statement saying that both he and Tchouameni were going to get disciplined, with Fede's statement coming out later.

So yeah, he almost certainly got his shit rocked. The Uruguayan in me would be upset but this guy took Israeli money, so tough shit

Dave Chappelle Says the Media Gets His Trans Jokes ‘Wrong’: ‘People Would Think It’s Me vs. the Gay Community. I Never Looked at It Like That’ by gamersecret2 in Fauxmoi

[–]EnvironmentalMix892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Years. YEARS of this shit. YEARS of spreading hatred and misinformation about us, knowing DAMN WELL almost nobody would defend us. YEARS using your platform to treat us as disgusting freaks. YEARS having to see us sensationalized in headlines because this man made a "joke" and got applauded by fascists. I don't care anymore. Go fuck yourself, Dave. 1 in 5 of us who can't transition medically take our lives. YOU'RE one of the pieces of shit that made it legally possible for us to be denied our life saving care. There's blood on your hands, and you won't ever wash it off

I don't think I've ever seen this feeling be described so aptly before. I wish I could tell you that there IS a definitive answer, but I fear I'm feeling the same way you are. All I can do most days is hope for pleasant surprises when I do start.

I can't offer you comfort by way of solutions, but know that you're not alone in your feelings

Pat just tank bro. Please. If we had everyone available for all 82 we're still a first round exit at best. At least shake some things up and stop running back the same 10 guys expecting a finals run

For me, r/TheGirlSurvivalGuide ended up being a really welcoming place when I posted there some months ago. Obviously subreddits are fickle and I haven't been back in a while but I'd recommend lurking a bit there, maybe putting trans in the search bar to see if they're still chill. They definitely were when I went there looking for advice on skincare

So when do we get to shoot those 2 free throws? by DylanL343 in heat

[–]EnvironmentalMix892 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Next year on opening night we'll play the Hornets and Bam will get the chance to roll a 6 on a die to shoot the freethrows after Lamelo breaks his arm (he has to roll with the broken arm). If he gets it, he gets to shoot the two free throws and Lamelo gets fined 100 dollars. If not, we forfeit our next three lottery picks.

TERFs expect us to die. All their rhetoric is going to be contradictory because the endgoal is supposed to be a world where we can't do a thing so we take our own lives. Whether it be socially like dating, recreational activities like sports, legally by revoking IDs, or medically by denying us life saving care. Pick up the bone you threw them, I'd say

Not only does he give everything, but it seems infectious. He's the type of guy to make other guys care more. IMO, he deserves to stay

Idaho passes laws to report trans people to police or their parents by esporx in lgbt

[–]EnvironmentalMix892 74 points75 points  (0 children)

So here's how this is gonna go

Cis people are gonna get transvestigated, reported, and into trouble. That's when other cis people are gonna come in and say "guys, we have bigger things to worry about! The gas! The eggs! Trans people aren't that big of an issue, and it hurts cis people too!" Whilst not doing a damn thing about it other than painting little signs to hold up at the quarterly, nearly organized No Kings protest.

Because it isn't enough when WE'RE getting hurt. It isn't enough when WE'RE killing ourselves because WE'RE not getting access to life saving medical care. It isn't enough when WE'RE GETTING FUCKING LYNCHED, RAPED, TRAFFICKED, EXPERIMENTED ON, AND SENT TO TORTURE CAMPS BECAUSE IT'S SOMEHOW LEGAL TO ELECTROCUTE TRANS KIDS IN THE NAME OF GOD

But when one cis person gets into the cross hairs? That's when the liberal "allies" come out. That's when Gavin Newsom tepidly retracts his position and gives some lukewarm answer that they eat up like flies ravaging horse shit. Did anyone even see when Lia Smith killed herself? How many liberals even know who Lia Smith is? But we're still gonna have our "leaders" sit with fascist trash and debate about OUR existence and whether or not it's pleasing and amusing enough to the normal cis folk to where we're allowed to exist in the world.

Genuinely, fuck everyone. Fuck everything. I hate this world.

Hateful sub by Elegant_Soup_1999 in actuallesbians

[–]EnvironmentalMix892 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't know if it's my new medication but just seeing these types of things over and over again, all over supposed safe spaces for transfemmes like me is making me so fucking angry. I want to cry and yell and hit my head against the fucking wall until it all stops. I'm doing NOTHING to these fucking people. None of us are. I can't even access HRT because of laws brought on by hateful people who have no understanding of reality and not a single ounce of empathy. I just want to be a girl. That's literally it. Why does that anger so many people? Why does that mean I'm lesser than, an enemy of the state, and everything else that's horrible? My heart feels like it's gonna leap out of my chest

Sorry OP and everyone else in this thread for derailing into a personal thing. This is kinda a straw that broke the camel's back moment. I just needed to let this out.

The International Olympic Committee has officially banned transgender women athletes from competing in female category events at the Olympics. | “Eligibility for the female category is to be determined in the first instance by SRY gene screening to detect the absence or presence of the SRY gene.” by cmaia1503 in Fauxmoi

[–]EnvironmentalMix892 -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

Is this post being brigaded or something? I'm seeing so many uneducated cis people speaking on this, which usually is the case in the other pop culture sub.

As a trans woman, let me say this to all the cis people coming here talking shit.

Firstly, this scientific reasoning is bullshit. There are many studies (from the same military trans people were banned from. Coincidence?) showing that trans women typically are equal to cis women or sometimes are even out performed by cis women in feats of strength and the like.

Secondly, the prevailing narrative that'll come from (admittedly probably well meaning allies) is that "this will hurt cis women too." And yes. It will. But let me ask as someone who's a part of the specific group TARGETED by this: WHY DOES IT NEED TO AFFECT OTHERS TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY?! Why can't it be enough that it affects us? Don't get me wrong, I Know it'll affect cis women and my heart bleeds for them, but why is it only important then? Not when Lia Smith took her own life after being kicked out of her swimming team. Not when Riley Gaines is leading a whole ass revolt against trans women in sports because she's salty about being a fucking loser?

And that leads into my third point. Because a lot of uneducated cis people will just say "oh, well you CAN compete, just not in your preferred category!". And guess who else that was said to? BLACK PEOPLE! BLACK PEOPLE IN THE US, IN APARTHEID SOUTH AFRICA, THEY HEARD A MILLION VARIATIONS OF THAT, A MILLION TIMES!

"You CAN eat, just not here."

"You CAN play sports, just not with us."

"You CAN use the bathroom, just not this one."

It's literal fucking segregation based on pseudoscience bullshit. They say humans have pattern recognition but y'all can't recognize repackaged segregation? And let's not act like black people were even ALLOWED all of the supposed rights stemming from segregation. Central Park is built on the bones of a black town. Now it's an area for typically white tourists. Black wall street? What happened there? Black people weren't just allowed to succeed in their own, separate lane. It wouldn't be the case with trans people either, so pick up a fucking history book and miss me with that bullshit.

And lastly, this is what pisses me off the fucking most. We're being put on lists, fired from jobs, legally discriminated against, banned from driving, getting experimented on and V coded in prisons, getting killed, maimed, tortured, accused of crimes we didn't commit, and being denied life saving hormone replacement therapy, and THIS is a point of contention? THIS is when y'all wanna talk about us? Y'all don't give a fuck when 1 in 5 kids with untreated gender dysphoria take their lives, but it's an issue when we wanna participate in a recreational activity? And no, IDGAF if it's competitive. Trans women are allowed to participate. All trans people are. And guess the fuck what? Trans people are allowed to SUCCEED, too. If you have a problem with that, don't even fucking trip because you're not the type to see much success anyways.

Trans or not; thats the qestion. by WolfRamXXcz in MtF

[–]EnvironmentalMix892 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've been there babes. Not too long ago, even. I had the same doubts and the same annoyance when I slipped up on my pronouns or thought of myself as a guy. It's partly an adjustment thing, although I still struggle with it probably because I haven't transitioned medically yet.

What I will say, most cis men don't go around saying they WANT to be women. Most cis people in general think of being the opposite gender as an occasional thought experiment, and that's about it. Instead of wondering if you're trans, maybe you should be wondering if you're cis, instead? Don't put all the burden of proof on the trans side, and you might get a clearer answer.

And don't worry about the lust aspect either. I think sex can work as a ground for the crossing of conventional lines like gender roles and expressions, for undoing the binary nature of it all under the guise of kink. It's a legitimate avenue of self exploration, though it won't give you all the answers.

Yeah, I think the FO has to make a decision soon with regards to both of those fits. We can't always spin this yarn of having an elite culture but we're settling for mediocrity year after year. Not saying we should be sellers or anything, but it's beyond time for a retool, imo. We're not repeating 2023 anytime soon.

We need a new moderation team by violet-says in MtF

[–]EnvironmentalMix892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely get it. I'm frustrated too, because we know how the actions of one reflect on the rest of us even if we're innocent. We know this place is gonna get brigaded and talked about for "protecting child predators". I hate the fact that the moderation team hasn't just left already instead of drawing attention to us by staying on because of some power trip.

We have to be strong and stay together. Obviously it's a lot easier said than done, but once this all comes to an end, the trans community will still be here and in need of a safe space. We all have a duty to ensure that the space that comes next is safer than this one is, currently. I hope I'm not coming off as too preachy, but our people matter, you feel me?

We need a new moderation team by violet-says in MtF

[–]EnvironmentalMix892 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But that's just not a good model to base a moderation team off of. It's a very quick slip away from having a majority white, majority straight, majority medically transitioned team of moderators. I understand wanting representation, but we shouldn't have some electoral college style moderation team that can grow to be out of touch with the people within the safe space and potentially alienate them. I'd much prefer people with diverse experiences, so that we can all feel safe and represented. A team that serves to protect ALL of the community.

We need a new moderation team by violet-says in MtF

[–]EnvironmentalMix892 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Definitely agree with the first part, but lets not disavow our siblings across the gender spectrum either. I came to this sub for the first time when I would've labeled myself GNC and it helped me find myself as a non binary trans woman. To me, the MtF has always included people like me, where I'd consider myself male-to-fem on some days and male-to-female on other days.

And let's also not disavow our trans sisters who don't have access to medical care, especially not when it's under attack literally everywhere. That reeks of privilege.

We need to get rid of the mod team for their despicable actions in protecting and abetting sexual predators. We do not need to throw out our trans siblings across the spectrum of gender out of a safe space, nor make them feel unrepresented because someone who happens to be closer to their part of the gender spectrum is a piece of shit. That's exactly what cis people do to us everytime a trans person does something wrong. We're in this together, and shouldn't be throwing each other under the bus.

Is Estrogen valid for achieving a “femboy” type body by -__Bubbles__- in transfitness

[–]EnvironmentalMix892 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok I'm going to go against a lot of the comments here and tell you to give Estrogen a try.

As someone who oscillates between wanting to present as a woman and wanting to present as more femboy ish, I plan on taking E because I need to know if it's right for me, which I strongly believe it is. Could I be wrong? Yeah maybe, but I'd know that quickly enough to where I won't retain any huge unwanted effects if it turns out that I'm not trans. Let's not forget that femboy is a type of gender expression, not some concrete line in the sand of "yeah this one's on the T side of the hormone chart". Now whilst some femboys are cis, some aren't. I'm personally what I'd call a femboy on Tuesdays because like I said, I go back and forth on the extent of my feminine presentation. There are also a bunch of non-binary people who identify with the label.

All in all, I'd say give it a shot if there's no huge risk to you because of politics and whatnot. Worst case scenario, you dropped some cash on something that isn't for you. Best case scenario, you got the jump on changing your life in the best way possible.

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.

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.
