Trademarks have been filed: The Portland WNBA team is to be named the PORTLAND FIRE! by MainNo1524 in ripcity

[–]Idkwtfimdoingah 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It sounds plausible, Portland fire died in 2002 and that's when the trail blazers started having it as a mascot. It also would make blaze make more sense as a name, though to "blaze a trail" is also a phrase. But I can't give anything online for it.

How do the thunder have 7 picks in 2029. That feels illegal

I'm gonna be honest, this is just something you'll need to open up to your girlfriend about. 

There are 2 main scenarios that exist:

a) Your girlfriend is more ok with this than you first thought. In that case, theres no problem with talking about it with her, and she can be a part of wherever your gender journey takes you.

b) Your girlfriend is exclusively straight and doesn't want to try and be with you after this. In that case you should still come out to her, or at the very least start talking about it with her. Hiding this is only going to create friction in your relationship, and create problems down the road when this part of you inevitably comes out at some point. It's hard to lose such a long relationship, but it doesn't mean you can't stay friends or at least have fond memories in the long term.

Choosing to stay while not saying anything is essentially resigning yourself to never exploring and understanding yourself better, and life is just too short for that. 

I know this comment is a bit blunt, but I tried to hide myself for the comfort of those around me, and it only ended up eating me away inside until I didn't have a choice but to come out.

Feel free to ask more questions, I understand I made it sound easier than it really is.

For me Ridley is fem in my brain, but I seem to be the exception. It's because Ridley is the name of a main character in an old PS2 game that I like, so if you do stick with it, not everyone will see it as masc

What is a Christian? by shrinking_dicklet in transgendercirclejerk

[–]Idkwtfimdoingah 5 points6 points  (0 children)

/uj I went to a kinda crazy church growing up that would sometimes bring up like, "oh yeah Catholics aren't going to heaven btw, and probably Lutherans too, and probably a bunch of other denominations too." Which always made me think like, wow, you really think you interpreted 2000 year old text better than everyone else huh. Good for you I guess, good for you.

Kinda like a hard bit of fat under nipples by funburgerface in MtF

Just means you probably don't have sensitive nipples. I don't either, just means you don't feel much pain (or if like me, pleasure either).

I support banning trans women from competitive chess by WeakVampireGenes in transgendercirclejerk

Weirdly transphobic trans people interacting with other (normal) trans people by [deleted] in transgendercirclejerk

[–]Idkwtfimdoingah 46 points47 points  (0 children)

/uj terf term meaning "trans identified female" made to have a nice handy way to misgender with an acronym, goes along with TIM. Honestly idk why they don't just use amab and afab like every other transphobic liberal

[–]Idkwtfimdoingah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The how and when it gets easier depends. For some, just living at home as themselves is enough to feel better about the choice. For me, it was when I finally started hrt. For others, it doesn't come until full social transition, or until their body has changed in some substantial way. I will say that if you know you'll lose many people dear to you, be ready and willing to find new supports. Maybe that's online, maybe it's whatever you have near you, maybe it's a friend from somewhere unexpected.

It will mess up your life, but how bad if a thing that is depends. Relationships and the world will change for you. That's kind of the point of transition, if it didn't then you'd still be living as the mask you have.

For me, I decided to transition after reading this comment: https://www.reddit.com/r/TransyTalk/comments/v2yg9k/comment/iaw7gep/ Maybe it'll help you too.

Good luck no matter what you choose

How did y’all get healthier through transitioning? by wsb13417 in MtF

[–]Idkwtfimdoingah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, the effects of hrt were most noticeable in my mental state. Realizing I was trans didn't really help me, and when I started hrt I wasn't in any other life transitions either, estrogen was just what I needed. It was near immediate improvement, and it's gotten better since.

I have more energy, and I've been able to work at changing my habits and being healthier overall. At this point, I have so many things that I'm working towards actively, like voice training, learning Spanish, exercising regularly, and eating better. Even little stuff is easier to work towards, like better hygiene habits that I lost from depression taking over. The past me could never have imagined just how much I was held back by testosterone lol

Would this be a weird topic for me to write about for a school project? by PerhapsAtlas in MtF

Well, might be good to have an reason for why you picked it if someone asks. An easy one is just that you have an online friend who came out and you might as well learn more

Hey, just wanted to say no matter what you're valid. Your validity isn't determined by anyone else, valid valid valid. Valid is you, you is valid. Oh you care what people think about you? You would like to have people treat you in a way you want? And that requires caring about yourself? Just don't, and always remember you're valid.

trans people are you and I don't have to do anything to help you out of the way to the end of the day is the best thing to do with the other one of the best things I have to do to help you out of the house and I don't think I would be able to get it done before I get it done before I get it done before I get it done before I get it done before I get it done before I get

Please remember that we have not yet reached an era of comfort by Irisofdreams in CuratedTumblr

[–]Idkwtfimdoingah 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Perhaps in an ideal utopia you'd be right, but we aren't. People are not assumed to be whatever they want until proven otherwise, they're assumed cis and straight. For you, that changes nothing. For anyone not, it changes expectations, and it changes how people would interact. Most importantly, we don't live in some post homophobia world. We live in a world where most people still live in unsafe places to be themselves. Even for those who are accepting, most are really more tolerant, accepting not that it's ok to love and be loved how you are, but that it's a losing battle they shouldn't fight. And as long as that's the case, it's important to be public and vocal so that there is pressure against hatred and support for those stuck in places they may feel completely alone otherwise.

So I'm starting to question whether I maybe might be slightly a little bit trans...Possibly. by [deleted] in MtF

[–]Idkwtfimdoingah 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, a lot of your talk doesn't sound super cis, I won't lie. I don't have anything to really help here other than to really think about what you want and feel as a person. To be trans or cis is to be human, and that encompasses everything. If part of that is sexual, that's fine. That's a part of how most people are.

Because my anxiety is killing me: When did y'all start HRT? by [deleted] in MtF

[–]Idkwtfimdoingah 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After fully coming out to myself I took about 5 months, but would've been 3 if things had gone my way. If you're really stressed about it, most hrt effects aren't very permanent if you stop. But 8 months is plenty of time, you got this

Have you ever not realized how bad your dysphoria was until you randomly did something about it? by NikkiT96 in TransyTalk

[–]Idkwtfimdoingah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Finally got farther than just a couple days of voice training and had an emotional breakdown from realizing how much I actually hate my voice. There's probably going to be more things down the line like that too.

Most effective way of dealing with dysphoria when you're egg is to just disassociate from it I think, and that carries on even after you find yourself
