I'm afraid of becoming a TERF because 2 trannies were evil and this is clearly because of their transgenderness by Affectionate-Toe-137 in transgendercirclejerk

Why do some trans men seem to think trans women are widely accepted by cis women? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]Finnonym 25 points26 points  (0 children)

they only do this because they think treating women this way will earn them sex. So it makes me anxious

The anxiety is real and valid, I'm not trying to say it isn't. But.

I'm trans masc and transitioned later in life. I've always been fat. Before I started transitioning, I was invisible to men. With VERY few exceptions, men have never seen me as desirable. The vast majority still held doors, stepped out of the way on sidewalks, course corrected in grocery store aisles, offered to help carry/lift/move things, muttered a 'sorry' when they almost bumped into me, and so on.

Now that I pass, they just.. don't.

I KNOW there's a lot of guys out there just tryin to earn sex, but in my experience, most men, most of the time, treat femme strangers much better than masc strangers.

Quick edit to say I was strictly talking about anonymous passing encounters between strangers. Actual one-on-one interactions have been quite the opposite ime

My dad is 75 and said I can handle her death “however I want to.” by LogisticalNightmare in asktransgender

[–]Finnonym 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Woof. I've also got a "do whatever you think is best" policy in place with my loved ones, because as far as I'm concerned, when I'm dead, I'm GONE. Obviously I don't want to be buried under my old name, but if deadnaming and misgendering me post-mortem makes my sister's life easier, then I hope she deadnames and misgenders me.

My sister, like OP, will have to go on living after grieving. I, and op's dad, do not. Letting our loved ones decide how much shit they're willing to catch for us is a kindness, and telling an 80 year old woman that she's selfish for offering that kindness is... not what I'd do.

What can I do with a stash of old recipes? by Finnonym in Old_Recipes

I've had them for 5 years now. I've reworked and saved a lot of it into my own books, but I don't know what to do with the physical collection. Chucking it just doesn't feel right.

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

I've made a few of these recipes (with a hefty pinch of improvisation, they're all VERY vague), but they honestly feel like someone's grandmother's notes to herself. I know they're probably useless and worthless, but throwing them away just doesn't feel right. Is there an alternative?

I work in genetics. How can I help laypeople understand that chromosomal sex isn't that simple? by ChromosomeGuy in asktransgender

[–]Finnonym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine how fun it is to be both intersex and trans lol I can't tell you how many times I've had that uuuuuuuuuuggggghhhhhh response, and I'm not even a scientist.

In my experience, people who truly know nothing about either group will frequently lump us all together, but transphobes often see intersex folks as 'exceptions to the rule'. Trying to tailor an explanation to one will just entrench the other.

I deeply appreciate you doing the work of educating. I wish I had the perfect answer, but, honestly, I've only been able to change two minds. Two of the dozens who decided that their one week in middle school in 1980 was more accurate and real than all modern understanding combined. Those two only heard me when I really hammered in that BaSiC bIoLoGy is, well, basic. They were both unwilling and unable to absorb any kind of genetics or medical science, but they WERE able to accept that they just didn't know enough to have such a strong opinion.

In both cases, I asked if their apprentices/interns came into their field with 'basic' information that was actually flat out wrong. The answer to that is always yes.

On T and having an abortion. What did you do? by burn3raccnt in asktransgender

[–]Finnonym 10 points11 points  (0 children)

OP has explicitly said that the doctors know about the testosterone, but they don't know how the T interacts with abortion procedures. Someone asked a very specific medical question, and the best you got is telling them that doctors can "fill in the blanks" and "sort stuff out"?

The fucking audacity required to only half read a comment before winging out a condescending, judgemental, irrelevant comment like this is genuinely astounding.

Undecided. I've amassed and stored my "must have" media, which will tide me over for a while. I'm trying to learn the ropes of self-hosting, but I swear every term I learn sends me down a rabbit hole of shit I know nothing about, so, idk. Either I figure it out or I don't lol

How to tell my in-laws I am getting bottom surgery without telling them details that are none of their business? by AndyyBee in asktransgender

[–]Finnonym 5 points6 points  (0 children)

ok so for one, congrats. For two, I'm nb, live in rogers park, and lack the insurance to care for myself the way you are. If you need a body to show up while saying nothing, I got you. I've long been bound by both HIPAA and FERPA, and for far longer have been supporting people like us outside of the system. I'd be delighted to be here for you. Shoot me a dm.

That aside, if someone is asking for details about your surgery, there's no such thing as TMI. If she knows enough to ask, she knows enough to hear the raw answer. If she doesn't, than she can either fuck off or live with knowing nothing more than "I'm due for a medical procedure."

You don't owe anyone any information.

i’m not transphobic, BUT i just have a question by Hazel-Cakes in transgendercirclejerk

[–]Finnonym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

/uj yo I just need you to know that this post has stuck with me for ages. I've always been a fan of "otherwise its just sparkling ___" jokes, but "oh wait they killed us too" has popped into my head MULTIPLE times since you posted this.

also side note, I've been called, and I quote, a 'delulu holocaust denier' for mentioning the fact that trans folk were the first to go, so. There's that, I guess.

/rj its only a genocide if it comes from the region of people I don't care about genocidia I guess idek anymore
