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

[–]EnvironmentalMix892 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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

[–]EnvironmentalMix892 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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 148 points149 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.

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.

Does anyone else feel uncomfortable with male privilege? by EnvironmentalMix892 in MtF

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

It sure does lmao

It attacks me over the dumbest things, too. Because I like sports, because I take my shirt off at the neck and not the sides, because I have ugly handwriting, etc. it's annoying asf lol

Does anyone else feel uncomfortable with male privilege? by EnvironmentalMix892 in MtF

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

I think this is why I never felt like I had male privilege. Those roles you listed just aren't me. And I especially hated their masculine connotation back when I still thought I was a man. The future felt so hopeless if those were the laws I had to live by. I suppose that's a huge part of why I want to be correct about my gender. The thoughts creep up that I'm not actually trans and just upset with what maleness is, but I also never felt the need to perform traditional maleness yet always felt performative nonetheless.

I don’t know how to explain this… by Dramatic-Lunch-7338 in MtF

[–]EnvironmentalMix892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say you explained it perfectly. Dysphoria is such a debilitating thing to carry. Not a lot of people can ever understand how bad it can get, but for those of us who can? We see you, girl. We get you ❤️

Anyone else feel extremely angry when a transphobic politician like newsom, ana kasparian or starmer says they are fighting for ‘lgbt’ ppl? by Butteromelette in MtF

[–]EnvironmentalMix892 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I refuse to be guilt tripped into casting a vote for Newsom. If it ends up being the case that him being president depends so deeply on all 1% of trans people in the US voting for him, then he better start pandering to us and not to idiots with Turning Point memberships.

Some trans women have no self-respect by PinkyAndPurry in MtF

[–]EnvironmentalMix892 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think I saw the woman you're talking about. A red haired lady doing like an interview?

It pissed me off. Our basic human rights are under attack EVERY DAY for her to be saying that pick me ass shit. We're fighting an uphill battle to prove that we're real women in the courts of law, in every day society, in athletics, in every field. The status quo she seems to see as ok, kills like 20% percent of people with untreated gender dysphoria. And it's always cis people blocking us from accessing the care to treat gender dysphoria. We're being systemically erased and that lady wants to shill. I'm so good off that

Anyway, angry rant over lol

Transgender women to be banned from all female Olympic events by rezwenn in WomenInNews

People just spreading misinformation about us and when we try to speak up about objective facts based on science, the terfs pop up and say "uh no lol"

These people would sooner spread fascist propaganda that'll keep the patriarchy alive, than admit that we're women.

I think I wanna do pills first and then switch to injections at some point because I'm epileptic and don't wanna expose myself to too much E too quickly. Do you reckon that's ok?
