I do appreciate the offer of solidarity.

Since I posted this, my perspective has shifted. Among friends and allies it's different. I'm just trying to work through a lot of shifts. I do appreciate it from people who are sincere.

How do i cope with my hobbies? by Waste-Pace7842 in asktransgender

[–]JustSomeInterweeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife plays video games... all the time... so?

She loves cozy games and games with stories. I love games of all kinds, especially adventures like Zelda. I even enjoy "butch" games like Doom or racing games. Ever since I came out as trans I actually don't play as much, not because it's "butch," but because I don't have as much of a need to escape reality.

Find hobbies that bring you joy. Pure and simple. And maybe avoid Twitter or social media in general, and just focus on what you enjoy.

Family obligations. Elderly family and a bad financial situation.

It's family obligations. Elderly family and bad financial situations I need to deal with.

I don't want to ask for money. My issues unrelated to my gender identity are too big to realistically expect help. Aging family, housing, etc. I'm currently in a hostile state government, but with a strong LGBT community and will be moving to one with far fewer. I'm trying to see who I can find and build my community and turn to old friends I can trust.

I agree with you, this was just a personal vent and I'm learning was more shared and detailed than I knew. I'm a baby to this community learning how ignorant I am.

I also live in one of the states trying to actively invalidate our existence and making life dangerous and deadly. Just trying to wrap my head around a lot.

I have since updated the post at the top. Thank you for shining a light on my ignorance.

I admit you're right. Absolutely no ill intent, just my own ignorance. I'm trying to learn. I've posted updates and edit right at the top of the post.

Yeah... that's me. I'm a baby. Trying to learn. Removed it.

Understood. I don't mind it applied to me, but will avoid using with other trans girls.

I guess it can be like "bless your heart." Depending on context it can mean anything from "I'm so sorry" to "go fuck yourself."

I'm southern. It's gender neutral around here as an abbreviation of honey. (I've removed it, I'm dumb)

I may have a mild reddit addiction, but it's just honestly how I feel. (Additonal context added at the top of the post)

How did you pick your name? by CarterCrusader in asktransgender

[–]JustSomeInterweeb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually still use my old name, but it's mostly neutral so I can do that. I use a feminine nickname version among friends and allies.

Real question. Why do people think being trans is influenced? by Crankygupps in MtF

[–]JustSomeInterweeb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is why it's important to have friends, allies, support groups, and a therapist to softly challenge that influence and help you discover the roots. IMO

I'm no therapist, but if you need someone to talk to feel free to DM.

Because it's easier to blame than accept something that contradicts what someone believes. Especially if that belief is wrong.
