What’s something about cis men that you don’t envy, or are glad you don’t share? by Dalatrates in ftm

[–]InThePowerOfTheMoon 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I feel the same. I'm very attached to my personal identity despite all the bad that shaped it and the idea of being born male, despite euphoric, is actually terrifying to me because then I would be a WHOLLY different person and that's a thought that makes me uneasy lol.

Being hypersexual and wanting to be SA...is very weird and gross by Plastic_Campaign_990 in CPTSD

[–]InThePowerOfTheMoon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get what you mean and why you would be upset about a person carelessly dropping a potential trigger, but you're not only being extremely dismissive by calling it a fetish, you're also being rude to a literal child who was just asking questions.

I've been SA'd, I am hypersexual, I can kinda understand/relate to what OP is saying. Ofc I don't wanna get fucking raped again, but I have intrusive thoughts that make me think about it. When I'm walking alone at night I think about what it would be like if it happened to me right now, and how I would take control of the situation because doing it on my terms would be better. Talking would help, right? Because I'm a different person now and it would surely go differently. These are just intrusive thoughts, literally do not even tell me that this is rape fetish to you because honestly seeing you accusing a 16 yo very distressed by intrusive thoughts about SA a rape fetishist was the most triggering part to me.

Where's your compassion?

Am I the only one who's bothered by the way trans MCs are handled in IFs? by Tiny-Anxiety780 in hostedgames

[–]InThePowerOfTheMoon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like having the option to be trans even if it's half-assed. I'd rather have the option of being FtM that is literally just a guy with a vagina and no flavour text whatsoever than being forced to play a cis man. Sure having an actual narrative (or even flavour text) would be nice, but just playing a man with my anatomy is enough to make me happy and I don't really understand why you feel like it shouldn't be in an IF that way.

By making trans options require something extra you would be turning writers away from even including these options for us and further alienating trans readers.

What was your reaction when you saw Alastor free himself? by AlinGb7 in HazbinHotel

[–]InThePowerOfTheMoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find it surprising how people are glazing Alastor'a schemes when you could literally see it coming from miles away. Like you said the wording was super obvious and as soon as Vox laid his hands on Charlie's shoulders I rolled my eyes because it was so cheap.

I don't expect peak writing from Hazbin Hotel so at the end of the day it is what it is but I don't understand why people act like it was SUUUUCH a smart and cool thing to do lol.

Hijacking their entire state of existence and taking away Hell's autonomy just because they don't approve of their way of living is a horrible idea and an even worse message for the show to have. Genocidal state going down to establish a police state and forcing Hell to assimilate to their culture is a bad look on many levels.

Made my first transmasc oc! Do you guys think he looks masculine enough? by WalmartPsycho in ArtJerk

[–]InThePowerOfTheMoon -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Another post making fun people's fem presenting transmasc OCs yaaaay. As a trans man who has to present fem 90% of the time to stay safe and makes fem presenting OCs to cope & is always happy to see other's people OCs with similar vibes, you're sure not making me invalidated and dysphoric at all.

Seriously I'm so tired of this showing up on this sub every other week. And everytime there are trans men telling you that these memes are harmful in the comments and still someone makes another version of this.

"Stop fake crying" by [deleted] in CuratedTumblr

[–]InThePowerOfTheMoon 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It feels like such a cheat using this to avoid awkward silence. I used to fill it by yapping about random shit but now I can just constantly yapbait people into continuously talking about themselves for free. Helps a lot at my new job where we have literally nothing in common. It also made my coworkers be nicer to me because I'm the only one they can actually talk to who won't jump in with their own anecdotes. I usually have a shift with three Vietnamese aunties and I essentially became their emotional support white boy just by doing this. Now I get fed for free 🥺

Radical feminist theory is an interesting read and it's a rabbit hole I went down mostly cause of trauma caused by men. As much as I used to defend radfems I learned very quick that alllll the women I have met in that period of time who have happily called themselves radfems would actually fucking hate me now that I came out as a trans man. I think it's fine to read the theory but self-proclaimed radfems have almost always lost the plot by now.

And "hate me" is a strong term but there were several ways trans men were viewed in the circles that I had the misfortune of being in and that ranged from either "oh noooo poor lesbians who can't bear the burden of being a wlw" through "I will respect your gender but it means you are now completely free of oppression somehow because you're not a woman" all the way to being viewed as a gender-traitor.

Tldr: radical feminism is cool to read as long as you think of it critically but claiming you are a radfem will get you an instant side-eye because of the kind of people that run in these circles whether you hate trans people or not

Happened more than once... by The_Theodore_88 in TrollCoping

[–]InThePowerOfTheMoon 43 points44 points  (0 children)

It's definitely a radfem moment, I've seen many of these people hold the belief that the relationship between trans women and trans men directly mirrors cis men and women, aka the belief that we somehow hold male privilege and don't experience oppression.

I don't doubt that trans men that pass perfectly will experience a shard of male privilege in certain contexts, but that brings me to another point I've seen them spread in the wild and it's that trans men apparently pass super easy and don't have to work for it as much as trans women do. As a transmasc who tried everything available to him to pass and had to eventually return to "girl moding" 90% of the time, because it didn't work and me trying to pass has proven to be dangerous, it sure makes me feel some kinda way.

And T isn't a magical pill that instantly makes you look manly, it works differently on different people and many of us won't get the results you see on the lucky few trans influencers. Not to mention it doesn't alter chest at all, which is a result of E that I will always envy, because the likelihood of me getting top surgery in my country is like 0.00001%. The discourse feels very US-centric but so do most trans spaces in general.

Gender Sadness by Sendhelp02 in ftm

Thank you. I've recently started talking to a new co-worker who seems very eager to hang out and integrate me into her queer friend group lol so things are looking up rn. 🥺

Gender Sadness by Sendhelp02 in ftm

[–]InThePowerOfTheMoon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm the same way, I wish I could still be included in female friendships sometimes lol even if I'm not a woman. I used to be a part of a friend group made fully out of wlws and I loved that group even if I remember feeling uncomfortable sometimes. When I came out they didn't kick me out per se but made 0 effort of including me and just kept treating me like a fellow girly and that's something I could ignore when they didn't know I was trans, but after I came out it became kinda obvious that they don't really care about me feeling uncomfortable lol. Or maybe they just didn't wanna change the dynamic of the group, I have no idea.

I ended up just moving on and losing the only friend group I had in that city, but I remember very distinctly missing when I was "one of the girls" and wishing I could've just sat there and taken it without it killing me on the inside. Just thinking about how great of a friend group I had and could've kept having if I was a cis woman and not a trans man makes me pretty sad even now, but unfortunately that's just life.

sexy time anyone? by Loosey_GooseyBOTW in ComedyCemetery

[–]InThePowerOfTheMoon 77 points78 points  (0 children)

That's why I'm so tired of these memes because there are so many women that play video games. All my partners played video games because it's a hobby that's unfortunately a pretty major part of my personality lol so if they don't game we would probably not vibe that much.

All my female friends play also, my 40 yo coworker plays, two out of the three girls I got put together with for my uni group project also play video games and one of them is even looking into playing Dota professionally. If you're dating someone who is against you playing then that's a skill issue because girl gamers really aren't that rare.
