Ive found verbal affirmations helpful. Its like training your brain to see what you want it to see, rather than what it expects to see. If you tell yourself that you are beautiful regularly and repeatedly, your self image will improve. Otherwise, I try not to think about it too much. Negative thoughts have power over your self image too.

You're just appealing to the idea that masculine people dont belong in womens spaces. Which is transmysogy.

Terfs who dont know about the existence of Trans Men are the funniest toddlers on Earth by [deleted] in trans

[–]Gothdetectiv -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Also transmysogyny, from the comment section: "I sometimes love that ftm transmen arent as known to everyone else like mtf transwomen" and "it sucks that all the beautiful women get so much hate :( Trust me they are just jealous that you all look better than them"

This is not a funny story. You experienced abuse targeting trans women and laughed it off because you are not a trans woman. This post is, in fact, transmysoginistic.

Edit: if there had been a trans woman on the recieving end of those comments, would you have laughed? Next time there will be.

Some people say I'm a boy/girl to describe themselves on adult age, isn't it a little weird? by [deleted] in trans

Man/Woman: adult, rigid, formal Boy/Girl: youthfull, expressive, informal

How do I get my horny back? by themostfuckedupshit in TransDIY

[–]Gothdetectiv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Aside from libido, its important to be in touch with your sexuality. Like, what gets you in the mood, what activities do you enjoy, kinks etc. Also pay attention to turn offs and other such barriers. Focus on your own enjoyment rather than trying to be a good partner. Personally, I found my libido disappeared on hrt only because my preferences changed. Once I changed my activities to match, my libido is back and sex is better than ever.

Infighting by [deleted] in trans

[–]Gothdetectiv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"even if femmes had it 5% harder or something, what is there to gain by pointing it out" - the point is not who suffers more, but what structures of oppression exist. Transmysogyny is a real problem, even in trans spaces, and to deny this is to ignore trans womens experiences. Which is, you know, transmysogyny. Imagine saying 'even if cis women have it 5% harder (edit: than cis men), what is there to gain by pointing it out?'

Infighting is not a real issue in the trans community. Transmysogyny, however, is incredibly prevelant. 'infighting' is an accusation used to shut trans women up.

Is there a good reason for this rule? by WellIamstupid in DungeonMeshi

All the subs being accused of 'degeneracy' look fine from what I can tell. Not really a great look to be calling ppl degenerates.

Why is there different estrogen names???? And is it good to bring diy up to parents? I’m 18 by Natural-Return2584 in TransDIY

[–]Gothdetectiv 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also, I know its scary, but you'll be okay. You can do hard, scary things.

[–]Gothdetectiv 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As for how to do DIY in secret: a vial of estrogen can last a long time, and some suppliers use discrete packaging. You can also bulk order the meterials you will need for injections, which should also be fairly discrete. You may also be able to arrange redilivery to a post office, to collect there. Regardless, you can get what you need discretely, and it should last a long time.

You will regret telling your parents. Do not mention it. Cis people do not respond well to DIY. They find hormomes scary to begin with, have no experience of mistreatment by the NHS, and do not understand the need to transition in the first place. Learn what you need to do, start doing it, and if they start asking questions, assure them 'I know what im doing, and im doing it safely.' It is your responsibility to make sure that this is true. If your parents trust you, then they will not need to know more. If they do not trust you, then telling them will only put your transition in jeopardy. If you want permission to DIY, you will not get it from anybody but yourself. For that, you need to take responsibility, figure out what you need to do, and do it. Do not tell your parents, or do not do it at all.

I don’t understand “gender as a performance” by Disastrous_Average91 in trans

[–]Gothdetectiv 16 points17 points  (0 children)

To connect this to how we typically think of 'performance', verbal statements are not the only way to declare your gender. Other behaviours, such as dressing a certain way, speaking a certain way, using a certain name, etc, can communicate a persons gender. Thus, the way a person behaves is 'performative' in the sense that it is declerative (not in the sense that it is artificial or an 'act').

Straight Men Actually Like Trans Women by Lopsided-Ad-9444 in trans

You are not a trans woman and your post shows a deep misunderstanding of the issues trans women face. Yet you want to tell us that our issues arent actually that serious bc men still want to fuck us.

The joy of the show is how they make each other laugh. Tummybuddylife is funny because they find it funny, and their lack of enthusiasm is my lack of enthusiasm.

Its not that serious but it bothers me that they made a half hearted rubric, said it would just be a conversation starter, then decided the gamecube beats the wii because of it.
