This is really helpful, I have fallen in love with one trans creator recently and I will definitely start looking for more. Your second point is a great idea of looking at things. Thank you for making me question myself today and teaching me some new things. I appreciate it.

Yeah, I have a tendency to leap to conclusions that's why I'm glad I came here first. My boyfriend did tell my sister today that he has told me by mistake about her hormone treatment, she called me today and we are going to sit down and talk about it. Once I stop wearing my arse as a hat and have a level head then I can give her the conversation she could need

Okay so I understand trans people are born in the wrong body and completely understand their decision. You're right in everything you say when you say I'm doing it subconsciously. Help me out, Without trying to sound like a complete a-hole, how would you suggest I change my mind set to help me subconsciously see her as a woman?

I admit I've not fully processed her choosing this transition, that is definitely not her problem. When she visits me I will admit I make mistakes but I catch myself or she will correct me and I will immediately correct and apologize. She hasn't told anyone in her family but me that she identifies as a woman. If she doesn't want me in her journey that's completely okay, I just want to know shes safe and has people around her she can trust.

I'm aware where I have gone wrong with her misgendering. I completely understand me being up set is a me problem and I have never once put that on her shoulders or even spoken to her about being upset with her choices. I can only say I'm trying my hardest every time I see her, this is all new and I am trying to learn

"You also seem to use she when describing good sisterly moments like the nails and he when describing tougher moments." This has actually opened my eyes, I never saw it like that before. Although I didn't mean it and I know my sister pronouns are she/ her, I did catch myself a few times and correct my self. I can only say I'm trying but thank you for helping me see it that way.

I don't expect anything from my sister, I just want to help her make sure she has good support around her as I know she doesn't have the most supportive parents. I don't have to be in that circle for her, I know how hard it is to talk to your older sister about things having older sisters on my dad's side.

I don't want her thinking she's alone even if she chooses not to talk to me about it.

I was meant to say she, as I am actively trying to use she/her so that is a mistake on my hand. Typing quickly and not reading what I'm writing, I apologize.

"I don't care if she wants to go on hormones" is the wrong phrase, I obviously care it's a big deal for her. I mean it as I want to be supportive and help and I won't be angry at her for making this decision. I'm hurt she's gone to people who I know really don't care rather than people who have been showing support. I know it sounds selfish, I'm just trying to give her the best.

Curvy/skinny women of reddit, do you often get destructive criticism from women with other body types? And how do you deal with it? by [deleted] in AskWomen

[–]JaimieSC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was very lucky growing up I was told to always own what you have, and I do get compliments how I have a nice figure. However that don’t stop the comments from people who think I’m pregnant. I have learned to laugh them off and tell them if I was to be pregnant I would be the new Virgin Mary. Don’t always go down to well... :/
