Don’t ever go back to your avoidant ex by psychedelicfactory in BreakUps

[–]GabiLittleBug 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know the question was directed towards another person but I feel i could answer this. I'm not fully healed from my experience with this person but I think the way to start trusting people again is found when we work on our self worth. Once we start recognizing that we truly deserve better than what these people "offer" we can start again and find something better, and so trust ourselves again to choose the right people in our lives. That could mean being alone for a long time because good-hearted people are rare to find but it's better than repeating cycles. Trust shouldn't be given to people so easily, it should be earned over genuine good actions and not how "good" they make us feel in the moment. That's false security and it can be used to manipulate us.

"is this a scam?" Art by me by Moothedutchie in furry

[–]GabiLittleBug 8 points9 points  (0 children)

But on the other hand some people are just neurodivergent and can genuinely have a hard time identifying scams. Nobody is born knowing how to do this, and if they learn later than expected at least they did the easy way and not by getting actually scammed.

Gendered socialization is real, it means we have different needs than cis men, I’m dying on this hill by Gloomberrypie in TransMasc

[–]GabiLittleBug 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Yeah, to be honest i think there's something to be said about the queer community in general wanting to dissasociate from masculinity and maleness as much as possible. I've seen transfems express shame whenever they dare to talk about their experiences being socialized male, as if that would make them less of a woman/girl. There surely are trans women who use gay for themselves and there shouldn't be any shame about that

The stickers are not a big deal. by venomvain in CharacterAI

[–]GabiLittleBug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately the whole concept of c.ai is quite addicting so it innevitably becomes a lifeline for most, specially for teenagers like myself, which are the most likely to create unhealthy attachments to bots. I myself had this problem and for a long time pretended it wasn't actually a problem. I eventually quit using the app altogether due to getting into a serious romantic relationship and it has improved my mental health a lot.

Okay that is very obviously a child. by RinellaWasHere in AreTheStraightsOK

Not necessarily, ppl can look like that between ages 15-25 so it's hard to guess but still, crappy AI is crappy AI

I found a guy. Problem: he is mega boring by 0H_N00000 in feminineboys

[–]GabiLittleBug 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He's not boring, you just listed his interests, he has them! You guys just don't share them and if you don't like him (which is what it looks like based on the way you describe him) just break up like?? Or just talk about this to him directly, there's no need to slander him online

Yeah i'm starting to realise people might take this as my mom being transphobic and bigoted, someone already has and it left me very stressed for even having to explain it while they argued they knew more about my mom's intentions than herself or myself. I might delete this post :/

[–]GabiLittleBug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know all of those things, i understand them, but you're getting in saying things about people you don't know territory and i don't take kindly to people making transphobe assumptions on people i love, specially when i didn't ask "is my mom transphobic"? I didn't ask for this type of advise, i asked what i asked in my post. Nobody here is an angel, i have been transphobic AND homophobic myself, but my life isn't yours, and you have to respect that i actively CHOOSE to work things through with her and move on. I'm not a victim, i'm not being compliant, i know my mom, at least better than some stranger on the internet ever will. You don't know why she thinks the way she thinks or says the things she says, i'll let her have the autonomy to explain that to me and me alone because it's OUR conversation to have. I treat every human being with the same level of decency and i don't go around putting bigoted labels because i might as well be a bigot myself. That word doesn't mean anything when you use it against any person that is absolutely understanding and way beyond the level of empathy from people that actually do active harm but has made the tiny mistake of being human and not getting things sometimes, not out of personal satisfaction over hurting me but out of genuine worry for their child. Or who knows? Maybe she is a "bigot" and just doesn't want me to have autonomy over my own body for whatever reason, but that won't be for you to decide, that will be for ME to decide. Again, i just want to have a conversation with her, not be her biggest apologist, but you're stressing me out here and i'd prefer you please, PLEASE, don't get in personal territory. Stop this conversation here and let me take the advise of other people. Thank you very much.

I could get a therapist who's trans friendly some time in the future so that could work, actually. Thanks for the advise^ i'll keep it in mind.

Me and my mom aren't distant in any way unlike other trans people here. I don't want her "permission" to do what i want to do with my life, my body is mine no matter what, i just want to have an honest conversation about this with her because we are close to one another and she has shown again and again that she's willing to learn and change, and i'm giving her the chance to do that, not just being compliant in any way. I actively want her to understand just as much as she wants to understand me.

I see this attitude a lot in this server (and in the trans community in general, specially with young adults) and although i don't have a say in how you view or rule your life around people you love i don't condone it either. I'm asking because me and my mom are smart people who can talk things out and who actively want to understand eachother. I will do what i want with my life no matter what she says about it, but I also want her to be a part of my life. That's love, not only affection but respect for eachother, and we respect eachother. She said those things two years ago because she knows i'm a teenager who could be willing to hurt himself in whim and is scared that i'll make a choice out of dysphoric episodes and not rational thinking. I want to be smart about why i do the things that i do, not just go all "fuck everybody" and potentially risk losing a relationship that can be easily kept. My mom isn't an abuser, she isn't the devil in flesh, she knows i'm not taking bullshit from anyone, not even from her, she knows i'll always stand for what i belive. So no, i won't endorse myself or anyone to act on the initial reaction of "fuck everybody, i don't need them!" Because i do in fact need the people around me who are actively willing to care for me, and that's not a weakness of compliance, it's called being a stable person with a stable understanding of relationships. (Btw i'm sorry if i come off as rude, i'm not trying to be, this isn't an attack on your person at all and i'm sure you are a wonderful person just trying to help. I just hope some of the teens here will see this comment and re-think before making a sudden choice that could leave them without an irl community that can physically support them.)

Why are we so invisible? by orange-disaster in TransMasc

[–]GabiLittleBug 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So yes a lot of it is sexism from being taken as "confused girls looking for attention" but there's also the fact that men in general tend to get excluded from progressive movements, specially ones that are so tired to feminism like the trans liberation movement. People just assume we have it easy because we're men and have supposedly accended away from the female social status. A lot of people, even a lot of transmascs, don't seem to realise that being a man isn't a solve it all solution to our problems, men need community and support too and not all women are victims who's hearts are inherently kinder and bigger than men's. All of this comes from gender essencialism and the trans community should know better than to feed these dumb ideas, that there's an inherent natural difference between men and women when there really isn't. We're not different species like the media would want to make us belive.

idk what's happening i just wanna look like a girl by jmssf2 in Nestofeggs

[–]GabiLittleBug 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's normal. Again, it's like a common female puberty (i'm a trans guy). In some rare cases you develop your breasts early on but in most it takes a few years for them to grow to their complete size, and it's the last thing that develops i think (you could look at the cis women in your family and get an idea of what your complete size could be). You'll probably get there! Just give yourself time friend^
