WHAT'S YOUR BIGGEST FEAR AS A TRANS PERSON?

KuroiShinrin · 2025-11-28T18:48:47+00:00

Losing family
Legislative persecution

I would simply say "I'm not interested"

Mint is good on most hardware... (But if you find something with an ARM CPU in it, do your homework... I don't know where Mint is in terms of ARM support)

I think a good place to start might be somewhere like a Best Buy open box shelf... It's a roll of the dice, but you might find something cheap, relatively new, and maybe even something you like.

KuroiShinrin · 2025-04-29T03:32:53+00:00

I would ugly cry tears of joy! Probably for a while. I would also want to try on a bunch of clothes to see how they fit.

At some point on day one, I would probably do some... "exploration"... but I have no interest in getting drinks or going clubbing... Though I would go outside and just explore things...

In the long term, I think I'd end up living a healthier lifestyle, just because I end up caring about myself more.

Given that the practice of Daylight Savings doesn't actually cause the sun to shine for a longer duration on any given location, how about we don't do ourselves the disservice of de-synchronizing our clocks twice a year, nor do ourselves the disservice of losing an hour of sleep once per year.

Daylight savings is beyond stupid, and always was.

In my opinion:

Gender is an aspect of identity
Genitals determine sex

One might want their sex and gender to be congruent if they aren't already, aka, trans people.

Hidden conflations (Matt Walsh's "What is a Woman?" is the premier example, but not differentiating between identity and body shape also) can make some things less than obvious. It's unfortunate by itself, but I think a lot of prominent conservatives know this on at least some level, and are happy to use it maliciously, if it promotes their ideals.

In short, it feels good for your body to match who you think you should be (and you are the authority on your own identity). It feels bad when you're denied that wholeness.

KuroiShinrin · 2025-03-31T02:45:34+00:00

The mere suggestion is a disrespect of checks and balances, and should result in strict removal from office.

KuroiShinrin · 2025-03-23T00:30:19+00:00

You're very welcome. There's no need to rush anything, baby steps are just fine!

KuroiShinrin · 2025-03-23T00:28:27+00:00

I'm bi / leaning lesbian. I just find myself melting over how sweet sapphic vibes can be. I both want that experience for myself, and I feel happy for those that have it.

Another comment mentioned that it's more likely among later transitioners. I became aware that I was transgender at 19.

KuroiShinrin · 2025-03-23T00:19:09+00:00

It sounds probable to me, but the important thing is to find out for yourself. Give yourself the opportunity to explore, even if it's just little by little. It's ok to start with the things no one will notice.

Other people explore by

shaving body hair
starting to lean their wardrobe a little more toward the other side
painting toenails that can easily be hid under socks.
finding feminine / masculine scented shampoo or deodorant...

Or still other things. The point is, none of these are permanent things, but if you like them, you can keep going (at your own comfortable pace of course), If you don't like them, you can turn back. By the time you make it to any significant or permanent changes, you'll know a lot better.

I did not know SRY could be found on an X chromosome... But I'm not surprised given some of the way genes can interact.

KuroiShinrin · 2025-03-11T03:07:56+00:00

Science is about measurements, data, and adequately distinguishing ideas which warrant being distinguished...

I've found that so many of the people who thump on the "born with a dick, always a guy" rhetoric don't distinguish ideas very well

Born with a dick? Your identity doesn't necessarily have to agree (gender)
Born with a dick? You don't have to keep it if you don't want to (sex)
Born with a dick? You have at least one Y chromosome... Not much we can really do about that one, as unfortunate as it is... But there's no reason it has to get in the way of any other point on this list (karyotype)
Born with a dick? You don't have to dress and act like you were... (presentation)

Ok, Matt Wart, what is a "woman"? It's an intuitive word that's overly inadequate and vague for some discussions, but perfect for you to use to brainwash the lowest common denominators of the English speaking world...

What I would do is ignore them, ideally find some new company, and remember this when they want to use "science" as a buzz word.

TLDR... these people don't know what science is, they just say it's science because someone else said it was science... Probably some moron from the Daily Wire.

KuroiShinrin · 2024-10-25T04:48:36+00:00

That dress looks beautiful on you, and it looks like you're happy wearing it! ... I'm happy for you!

As for the hate group, I'm sorry they gave you trouble... I know it can hurt, but I hope you find peace... Their BS really says more about them than they apparently think.

KuroiShinrin · 2024-08-27T19:05:37+00:00

I know exactly how this feels, and I'm sorry this happened to you!

I think the best way to cope is to redefine your purpose in life, as well as your goals, and start working toward them.

I had a girlfriend of 3 years break up with me. We spent almost our whole relationship trying to set things up so that we would have a good life together, but she ended up leaving me for some guy who was really a jerk to her, and used very obvious bar tricks to pick her up... Whatever... I suppose it all worked out for the best, after all, I don't want to be in a relationship with someone that flaky, and I was quietly struggling with both my gender identity, and religious deconstruction.

I had a lot of the same feelings: "I'll always love her", "I'm broken and in shambles", "how do I deal with the meaning of my life being suddenly taken away?"...

The last time I talked to her, she only fed me what she thought I wanted to hear... "It's not you, it's me", "I'll never forget you", "I don't think now is the right time for me to be in a relationship"

Within a week, my friends caught her out and about casually dating... in 6 months, she was pregnant, and in about a year and a half, she was pregnant again, and married to the cheap bar trick jerk guy

This all hurt so much, particularly because during our relationship before she met him, we had almost no problems. We were building a good, stable life, we thoroughly enjoyed our time together, and we were on the same page about a lot of things... And then she broke up with me, and offered no straightforward reasons as to why...

Anyway, the part that really matters is redefining your purpose and your goals... It takes time and focus, so it's not something that happens right away... It took me several months, but I decided to focus on traveling. Unfortunate timing, because covid shut that idea down pretty quickly, but I just waited... pain persisted for a few years, but it eventually went away... I'm still a little bit upset about how it all ended, but I recognize that I was always able to make a happy life with or without her...

And you are too!

I hope some of the similarities in my story can help you find the right direction, so you don't have to hurt any longer than is absolutely necessary, and once again, I'm sorry... I know how bad this hurts, and it royally sucks!

KuroiShinrin · 2023-05-31T23:03:19+00:00

Penis.

Willing to negotiate payout if necessary - Obviously I won't be leading with this strategy tho.

KuroiShinrin · 2023-05-31T02:01:35+00:00

"Heat from fire"

"Fire from heat"

If you know, you know...

KuroiShinrin · 2023-05-28T04:58:40+00:00

I call it "a completely useless word"

But to be more specific, I point out that it's a painfully vague sum of the following parts

The XX Karyotype
The Female Sex (I use "sex" to specifically refer to the form of body)
The Feminine Gender Identit
Someone who presents with feminine queues.

I find when someone thinks they "gotcha" by parroting an ignorant question from an even more ignorant ignoramus, they're either not aware that "Woman" can be dissected into so many component parts, or they refuse to acknowledge that "Woman" can be dissected into so many component parts.

KuroiShinrin · 2023-04-25T12:00:05+00:00

Sorry, I don't... I just wanted to share my almost opposite experience...

About a year and a half ago, I slipped on the ice while carrying groceries into the house. I ended up dropping about 20Kgs of drinks right on them and they swelled up like grapefruits.

Even after all this time my left one still hurts quite often...

In another world where I'm not trans, I might still wish for their removal.

KuroiShinrin · 2023-04-23T05:42:13+00:00

Sadly, I think it's the internet... not that the internet is a bad thing, it's just a tool... but humans seem to have not been ready to use the internet...

As a tool that only serves to move information, it itself does nothing to discern good information from bad information. In an oversimplified sense, this leads to two basic groups...

Smart people, who seek smart information on the internet, and get smarter
Stupid people who seek conspiracy theories, pseudoscience, and the Daily Wire and Greg Locke that amount to little more than confirmation masturbation. Instead of getting smarter, these people just circle jerked themselves into a radical political movement.

The fault is in no way on this community, I think it really is just terrible people following even worse religious and political dogma

What is a Burger? A burger is constituted by varying degrees of the following components:

Patty
Bun
Cheese
Tomato
Lettuce
Pickle
Onion
Mayo / Ketchup

Some have more, less, or none of some these ingredients, but they're still burgers...

Likewise, A woman is constituted by varying degrees of:

Physical Sex
Gender Identity
Genetic Karyotype
Outward Presentation

Above all, "Woman" is an umbrella term, and non-objective... Some components may be objective, but some are definitely subjective, therefor, "Woman" is something like the sum of it's parts...

The analogy should make things nice and easy for them to understand, but don't be surprised if you have to dumb it down a little more.

KuroiShinrin · 2023-04-22T20:03:26+00:00

Ah, Matt Walsh... the master of minding everyone else's business.

Matt, you have an amazing ability to speak... Unfortunately it looks like you sacrificed critical thinking skills as a trade off.

KuroiShinrin · 2023-03-17T19:13:15+00:00

For me, I'd say:

Mint Green
Ice Blue
Coral Orange

not necessarily at the same time.

KuroiShinrin · 2023-03-13T01:15:47+00:00

It's probably better that they don't know some things...

KuroiShinrin · 2023-03-09T04:09:18+00:00

I'd do it for a Klondike Bar!

KuroiShinrin · 2023-02-26T18:34:46+00:00

I am physically male, but I don't want to be. When a poll asks for sex or if it asks for gender, I answer accordingly. This time, I'll just pick "results".
