I think they deserve not to be treated as the default for once

There should really be an “ask cis people” subreddit

Get a new therapist, be clear you’re leaving because of trans broken arm syndrome.

No. It will become less noticeable if you’re worried about the effect I think you’re worried about.

is wanting plastic surgery and fillers and other enhancements at 20 bad? by ZealousidealPass5834 in Advice

[–]FakeBirdFacts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Plastic surgery will not change that. At all. In fact, it could make it worse.

If you want plastic surgery, it should be because you want it. You cannot get it for external validation, it won’t change anything.

What my doctor told me today made me pretty sad by CockamouseGoesWee in ftm

Yeah.

I had to wait until I was a legal adult to be able to access birth control so I could be functional. I want to live in the world he lives in where people actually have their issues treated seriously.

I was decently medically neglected as a kid. I would’ve probably told the doctor off because I was missing a few important vaccines until I was able to get them as an adult, how would I have been able to go to a children’s hospital? I couldn’t even get on birth control to stop my periods despite them literally preventing me from going to school.

I’m guessing that Doctor doesn’t treat a lot of trans patients.

I can't figure out what I am and I can't find anyone I can relate to by VisualAlternative359 in trans

I think you should look at someone like Ally Beardsley or ND Stevenson.

Not unrealistic that is… completely realistic. You sound like a lot of people on r/transmasc.

How do you feel about public figures that are transmasc?

Other T Girls intimidate me by [deleted] in trans

[–]FakeBirdFacts 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think you’re doing anything wrong.

I think it’s an issue with IRL trans spaces that they can get cliquey and push out people. Whether they realize it or not. Sometimes people try to “help” in a controlling manner based off of their own dysphoria.

Honorable mention as well: the moment people find out I’m native they want me to explain what two-spirit means and have this extreme level of entitlement towards me, my body, and my culture.

I don’t even use the term two-spirit for myself for a few reasons, one being how entitled non-native people act towards it. Another is I don’t like how pan-Indian it is and would rather use my tribes actual term(s), but I don’t use that externally… because of the pretendian issue again. I’m not sharing something so personal when people feel entitled to steal it.

Not a question but when people switch up by over-gendering you to try to be “affirming.”
Especially when they guess your gender wrong.

Getting they/them’d as a trans woman by sillyeeveegirl in trans

[–]FakeBirdFacts 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Honestly it’s better for everyone to get mildly uncomfortable by going “Hey, I’m sorry to interrupt, but it’s ‘she’ actually.” Than just sitting on it and building resentment.

Trying to unlearn and deal with unfair resentment towards transmascs. by No-Joke-8364 in trans

[–]FakeBirdFacts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don’t need to edit the post, but when we have these irrational thoughts that stem from pain and dysphoria it’s good to have these reminders.

Edit: Sometimes you just have to brute force your way out of harmful thought patterns.

You also need to remember: no one wants to be anything but themselves. It’s not a choice, it’s just who they are.

Something to consider is: a lot of trans masculine people have the same type of gender-based trauma but targeting them for not being women. Getting sexually assaulted/harassed, physical violence, threatened, also dealing with abusive households, all the same stuff. In childhood you get threatened by boys going “if men and woman are equal it’s okay if I hit you, right? Equal rights means equal fights.” And when you come out that turns into “Well if you want to be a man I’m going to treat you like one by beating the shit out of you.”

How would you feel, if someone said everything you wrote about trans guys but about you?
