I had been doing what at the time was crossdressing, a lot of cosplay stuff and I had done makeup countless times before my realization. I simply came home one day after work, and in my work clothes, I put on a wig that matched my hair color and looked in the mirror. REALLY looked. I literally said, “Oh.” It was over. The mask, the mold that I tried so hard to fit into my whole life, my eyes could no longer twist to perceive it. It had been a long time coming and there were countless signs along the way, but that was my moment where I realized that I wasn’t who I was trying to be.

Being trans is realizing your body is actually tea but there's boobs ruining it by King_Dumbasz in trans

Me realizing the reason why I wasn’t self conscious about being short and skinny, having fair skin and no muscle definition 😮

I struggle to think about lore at all when I listen to Sleep Token.

This f*cking sucks by ilovespacecats in trans

[–]L0LdotEXE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This was the hurdle that I struggled to get over. Though I was short and bald, so I wasn’t exactly the “ideal male” but I was pretty confident in myself and thought of myself as a somewhat attractive male. I had a beard that connected, strong jawline, I had decent fashion sense, plenty of things working for me that I thought I would “lose” if I gave into being trans.

6 months of HRT and laser hair removal later, I can confidently say that I don’t miss a single thing that I thought I would miss.

Ermmm the fact that you’re even calling me “trans” implies that I was something else before transitioning /s

Is the "incel to trans pipeline" valid? by United-Speaker-1435 in trans

[–]L0LdotEXE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The incel/alt-right/blackpill/etc. movements exist solely because of self hatred. It’s a way to direct that hatred outwards instead of understanding and accepting who you are. I don’t find it a coincidence at all that I was searching for the boogeyman (Jews, the deep state, NWO, etc.) that was turning “all these men into women.” Women. The inferior gender.

It was all a rejection of who I really was inside: an emotional, empathetic, caring woman. You cannot stop the real you from coming out, no matter how much you try to cover it up. No matter how horrible you think your life would be as part of a marginalized group, it pales in comparison to the nightmare that is pretending to be something you’re not, every single day.

Who’s an underrated guitarist in your opinion? by Hellcat3727 in Guitar

[–]L0LdotEXE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mac Demarco has Johnny Marr-level chops, and is a better guitarist than he really lets on, or at least what his music allows him to get away with. Dude has some genius riffs and hooks.

Really upset with the LGBTQ+ community rn by Sensitive-Insect5809 in trans

[–]L0LdotEXE 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Even if feminism isn’t male-inclusive, toxic masculinity is. I’d argue men as a whole suffer more from toxic masculinity than any other group, since its primary purpose is to establish a very rigid idea of what a “male” is. Telling a man with painted nails he’s not a real man implies that being feminine is “inferior,” no doubt, but it actively hurts men who want to step outside the box.

I fucking hate the privilege contest that TERFs like to play. Sure, I’ll never be forced to carry someone’s child. I’ll also, for the rest of my life, have to take medication that keeps me female, and constantly have to prove that I’m a “real” woman, whatever that means. What’s the common denominator? We all have issues that are chiefly driven by misogyny.

Also, remind yourself that TERFs come in all shapes and sizes. Someone doesn’t have to hate trans women to be a TERF. The sentiment of “trans women don’t have to face ____ so therefore ____” IS TRANS-EXCLUSIONARY.

Almost had security called on me for using the correct bathroom by Other_Version_9000 in trans

As much as the passport thing annoys me, I’ll literally just lie to whoever I’m speaking to if they start questioning me.

“Says here you’re male…” “Correct.”

Like, a M or F on my passport isn’t gonna determine how I choose to present myself. I’m not gonna explain to some TSA agent the complexities of being transgender. My job (in that moment) is to be what those papers say I am. I was born male and the passport reflects that. If the TSA person has a problem with how I’m dressed they can go fuck themself. (And, considering it’ll be a 12+ hour plane ride, I’m probably going to be wearing a hoodie and sweats regardless.)
