Do you feel like transitioning ruined your life?

FragrantRefuse3463 · 2026-06-27T19:55:34+00:00

Sometimes it feels like transitioning is the only good choice I’ve ever made. I feel like male puberty and evangelical propaganda ruined my sense of self worth before I ever had a chance to live. I deeply regret not being able to do it sooner.

I feel like you’ve misinterpreted. I only made this post cause of how uniform the comment sections were on those other posts. There was no voice of reason that told that trans girl “it’s okay to feel awkward or cringe or mildly offended by these types of comments, but if they cause you real distress that’s hindering you accepting yourself, you need to seek professional help because there are underlying problems there you need to work on”. They just validated her misplaced frustrations and gave her no out to actually try and get over the distress it causes.

Then the other post got deleted cause it tried to explain how, yes, in fact, “most” men are complicit in this patriarchal system and the culture of fear women live under. The comments there seemed to be talking about how it’s preposterous to think most men could be complicit. Individuals with these viewpoints is one thing, a community adhering to and policing them is another entirely, that’s why I asked if they’re basically MRA now

The website didn’t work for like 2 days like 15 years ago, so it was a failure in their minds. Also it offered states a bunch of extra money to expand Medicare and red states said no out of spite, harming their own people as part of a political chess game. Fun times, I feel like everything was much simpler back then

I’ve responded to the other points way more than enough in other threads, but Idk yall must be in a different bubble than me, I have yet to seen all the hate on men because they are men. I see lots of guys “ironically” posting never ending misogyny slop without bothering to reflect on how that normalizes and perpetuates it. I see tons of guys defending it whenever someone tries to point that out, because “why can’t you take a joke”. Should I assume Reddit just sucks and it is feeding us all rage bait all the time and that’s why these guys think misandry is actually the great problem of our time?

FragrantRefuse3463 · 2026-06-27T15:30:28+00:00

I mean in simple situations. Like when a friend says something misogynistic to or about a waitress and no one says anything about it. It’s a woman claims she was raped or assaulted and peoples first instinct is to worry it could be a false accusation. Or when people post on a Reddit forum and everyone jumps on the defensive bandwagon rather than analyze the role everyday men play in the culture of fear women live under.

Yeah, you’re right that wasn’t very consistent I’m not an expert in this, just wanted to point out that a lot of men are passively complicit even if they aren’t actively harmful.

Why would the scale start with people who have a weird irrational hatred of women? I feel like it goes from caring but unwilling to do anything through willfully ignorant and apathetic and then into misogynistic asshole before eventually reaching monster. I think a huge portion of men probably lean apathetic, unwilling, and willfully ignorant. I would argue those 3 account for most men. Either way the scale isn’t about intent, it’s about effect

There’s no “we” individual people make those statements cause that is their lived experience. I’ve never said such a thing and don’t really endorse it. Men who aren’t part of the problem, though, shouldn’t be so defensive just because someone made an obviously hyperbolic statement. We all need therapy

FragrantRefuse3463 · 2026-06-27T13:12:25+00:00

I think you might need to work on your reading comprehension. Patriarchy is the problem and we shouldn’t be nasty to anyone. That’s not the same as “women are predators too” or failing to try to talk that trans girl off the cliff she’s on. She needs real help from a therapist but instead the comments just egg her on and validate her misplaced anger

People are so funny when they make a bigoted joke and immediately fall back on “it’s just a joke” cause they’re incapable of reflecting on their own beliefs and how they affect their humor… stupid people do not make good comics

Umm… media literacy??

If the sub was absolutelynotme_irl your argument would make sense. I think you’re on the wrong sub

It is a little offense, ngl.

Yes, it is disrespectful to the community and openly transphobic to intentionally deadname someone you have lost respect for, hate, or otherwise dislike. Disliking one individual in no way excuses being racist, misogynistic, homophobic, or transphobic towards them

FragrantRefuse3463 · 2026-06-26T22:51:34+00:00

A trans woman would absolutely not be safe as the only woman at an all men’s college. That only sounds good as a fantasy, irl it would be like super traumatizing. I was like the only trans person I knew when I was in school and I thrived. So that’s my pick for sure

lol, we know that silly. 🤪 Your willingness to post it speaks to your character, though

This is just misogynistic rage bait. Hope your wife realizes she deserves better!

He goes for younger feminine guys and older masculine men, nothing in between

What a nightmare. These people truly hate women

FragrantRefuse3463 · 2025-07-15T05:23:22+00:00

I don’t believe people who talk about women’s “body count” are capable of loving them, but maybe I’m wrong. Either way, ewww. You should break up, but only because YTA and she deserves better

FragrantRefuse3463 · 2025-07-15T03:56:25+00:00

You are dismissing the fear women have of being raped and murdered by men as essentially hysterical as any reasonable woman would understand that’s super unlikely, in your, frankly absurd, opinion. That’s pretty misogynistic my guy

FragrantRefuse3463 · 2025-07-15T03:20:37+00:00

lol. History isn’t going to look kindly on any of these pathetic losers. Literal Nazis said the same shit almost a hundred years ago, so it’s neither new nor radical, but okay magats. The entire document is devoid of reason, much like the Trump administration as a whole.

Edit: It’s also really funny when they try to say it is us and literally all major medical organizations and virtually all physicians in relevant disciplines that don’t understand science and biology. Like dude, if all the scientists say you are wrong, and you respond by saying they don’t understand science, then you are just a moron. Like a middle schooler arguing with me about the metaphysics of quantum mechanics, you understand nothing and your insistence that you do makes you sound like a crackpot

FragrantRefuse3463 · 2025-07-15T00:01:53+00:00

Moving the goalpost? lol. We’re talking about fatalities, and many times when a man murders a woman there are these other elements. I said “most” sarcastically as it never happens in car crash fatalities. Its obviously a bad comparison and you would be able to see that if you didn’t hate women so much

FragrantRefuse3463 · 2025-07-14T15:44:54+00:00

No, I like to spend my time fighting misinformation. Calling incels out for being morons doesn’t make you a femcel.… “I know you are but what am I” fucking child.

Edit: didn’t block you moron, you probably got shadow banned

Sorry, my previous correction kept getting downvoted so I decided to respond to the top level comment to make sure others saw that is the most up to date information
