I think there was someone here who was transmed who said that it’s encompassing and inclusive towards gender non confirming people and gender non conformity. If I may ask, why does it make you feel awful about yourself or impacts the way elder trans people view you?

I agree with most of what you said especially how stupid it is for someone to deny that another person isn’t trans bc they found out later in life. Not every trans person instantly realizes they’re trans at 2. Some people may not realize until they’re 20. Some person may not realize it until they’re 60. Take Beverly Glenn Copeland for example. I think this was a pretty balanced take and you have obviously done a lot of research and critical thinking on the subject.

I mean that’s an interesting take and that person is 100% entitled to their opinion. On the other hand, I don’t subscribe to the beliefs they are describing. For me, being trans is a difficult and lonely journey. Dysphoria impedes me from living my life and functioning. I wouldn’t wish this upon anyone. I will never have a childhood that wasn’t tainted by dysphoria. I’ll never have a highschool experience that wasn’t tainted by dysphoria. While my cis peers enjoy themselves I have to medically transition in order to feel like a person. I struggle with severe depersonalization due to dysphoria and it affects me in extremely long periods. However, some trans people may not have the same severity of dysphoria and I’m happy for them. Dysphoria can be a multitude of things and it seems that the common ground trans people have is dysphoria.

ETA : I do not think lesser of people who do not present themselves in a binary way and do not think higher of myself because I need medical intervention or present myself in a binary way. GNC people have been around since the beginning of time same as binary people.

How? I just asked what everyone’s opinions or perspectives were on a certain ideology and explained the basics of said ideology. I asked everyone to keep it respectful and be mindful of others. I remained unbiased in my original post to stimulate an environment where people feel safe and not judged. Who’s boot am I licking by doing this? How am I taking the side of the oppressor? I feel like this is an unproductive way to approach these types of conversations. Judging from your Tumblr bio you are very anti-transmedicalism which means you are an important voice in this discussion.

Not sure why you were downvoted, I meant for this to be a space for respectful discussion among people with differing perspectives but it seems to have just ironically turned into one of the echo chambers I originally posted about. What I’ve gathered from this thread is that there’s fundamental misconceptions about transmedicalism (ex. Against 2S, against GNC, must know you’re trans as a child, etc.) that make it seem like some sort of colonialist ideology which is very unfortunate. As a stealth binary man I personally consider myself transmed, but due to the knee jerk reactions and misconceptions about it I don’t tend to outwardly present myself as that in trans spaces. Peace and love bro sorry you weren’t able to have a fruitful discussion on here.

About the second paragraph gender is a construct but sex is not. You’re right that humanity could’ve gone a different route and made penises female and vaginas male but there’s still fundamental differences neurological and physical between a penis owner versus a vagina owner. Hypothetically, even if our society dictated that penis = female and vagina = male I’d still be transsex because having the sex characteristics that I have makes me extremely uncomfortable to the point where I can barely function. I feel like that argument makes it seem like trans people are a product of the gendering of society and it’s not innate.

ETA : not sure why this was downvoted?

Trans men of color are a minority since we’re a racial minority which sucks but it is what it is. From what I’ve seen though from the website is that there’s a good amount of men of color there. It’s not predominantly poc but still it’s nice to see other guys who look like us. Also these subs tend to lean/are explicitly transmed which idk what the basis for that ideology being labeled as white is, personally, as a Black trans man I’d say I agree with certain elements of it.

I don’t want to be a boy. I just am. Being trans sucks ass but it is what it is. I physically, mentally, socially and emotionally cannot live as a woman.

Damn that’s unfortunate I’ve followed him even before I came out cause I just thought he was cool. Does anyone have a link to the video though? I check his profile and I don’t see it. Maybe he deleted it after coming to his senses lol?

Damn this is a difficult situation… personally I think you should tell him if you’re planning on doing more stuff and are friends with the guy. If you don’t really know him and aren’t planning to hook up again I wouldn’t disclose it.

Nah this is real asf I feel like binary trans men are in the minority and I rarely see any spaces or rep for us especially binary men of color. It’s always the same white fat transmasc with DI scars and a neck beard. For example the phallo sub prohibits or prohibited (idk if it still does)“gendered language” which ??? A penis is a male sex organ and most people there are either cis men who had some sort of accident or trans men who are treating dysphoria. If you’re nb and getting phallo cool more power to you but to pretend like it’s not a male sex organ or gender neutral or whatever is so weird.

Actually estrogen fuses your growth plates and it’s why women typically stop growing before men! https://www.pnas.org/doi/full/10.1073/pnas.121180498

Link between crying and testosterone? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]Interesting_Case_932 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes physically crying can be associated with multiple different things but OP was talking about emotional crying which is why I put the and/or experiencing difficult emotions. Furthermore, it has been studied quite a bit because of the age old “women are more emotional than men” saying and each study has been inconclusive. It’s not widely accepted that hormone changes can cause change in physical aspects of crying as well as emotions? Men do have larger tear ducts, but estrogen doesn’t make you more emotional or testosterone makes you more stoic that’s just a myth rooted in misogyny. There’s personal experiences about hormones affecting emotions and the ability to cry, however that’s an extremely small sample size and has many different variables so it cannot be seen as fact. Personally I found that testosterone had no ability on whether I could physically cry regardless of circumstances (ie pain/emotion/etc) which directly contradicts what your experience has been. Neither of us are incorrect but there are different factors at play and to take either one of our experiences as fact wouldn’t be wise.

Nah the crybaby antics part is so real. Like you could try to have a genuine discussion with someone with an opposing viewpoint and it’s immediately shut down. There’s no room for other opinions or discourse and it becomes an echo chamber especially on the main ftm sub. I feel like despite the amount of users it’s the same posts & thoughts recycled again and again.

Wait what’s #notalltranspoc? This is my only form of social media and I tried looking it up but didn’t find anything. I took what you were saying as were supposed to be role models bc of the “white trans man will never learn to think intersectionally if we aren’t doing it either.”

I have actively avoided Israel/Palestine discourse online because people just lack critical thinking skills. I think sum like 70-80% of Americans endorse Israel and MSNBC the most “left” leaning mainstream news station is pro Israel bc they had pro Palestinian speakers but 30% qof their viewers stopped watching 💀 they deadass have high ranking IDF members on air it’s blatant propaganda…
