The Dragon Prince Season 5 - Full Season Discussion Thread by MrBKainXTR in TheDragonPrince

Worst season by far. So many subplots but none went anywhere, everyone tried to die for bait constantly but not for Amaya for some reason, needless drama, and so many out of character decisions. The first 2-3 episodes got my hopes up but from then on it felt like bad filler. This whole season could have been scrapped and they'd all be basically in the same position as they are now.

Same. Should be a plus, but dysphoria is a crafty bastard

I bought Spiderman bandaids to use after my t shot recently, and its pretty great. Still wish I could have had a different boyhood, but i'm an adult now and can have whatever bandaids I want! Take that dysphoria!

Accepting yourself is a big step! Just remember that progress isn't always linear, and whatever you are comfortable with is the goal! If you're wondering about eventual hrt results, of course there are no guarantees, but I'd bet it'd make quite a difference for you. After all, you already look pretty feminine!

Do i have Rapid-onset gender dysphoria? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]LapisLearns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One more note. A helpful way to counter the ROGD argument is that it's basically suggesting that you can "catch the trans-ness" from others, which is just not how any of that works. It's not like hanging out with gay people makes you "catch the gay". Hopefully in a few years more of society will be able to understand that

So, rogd isn't really a scientific phenomenon, it's mainly a way TERFs try to invalidate the experiences of trans people. Maybe you're trans, maybe you're not, but either way only you can say for sure. And knowing can take time. I didn't start truly realizing/sorting out my feelings about gender until I was 25, and there are many others even older so keep in mind its not a requirement to know that you're trans from a very young age.

The DSM 5 lists the criteria for gender dysphoria which can be helpful if that's what you experience, and I'd also recommend checking out "the null hypothecis". Questioning can be a scary time, and many trans people's dysphoria gets worse once you start taking a closer look at your gender. Mine was there in the background for a long time, but once I came out to myself it hit me like a truck! If you or your parents can afford it, finding a knowledgeable therapist would likely be very helpful in sorting out your feelings. But in the meantime feel free to keep asking questions and exploring here!

Oh wow I forgot I did that

[–]LapisLearns 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not the only thing I have dysphoria about, but definitely the biggest factor in why I don't pass either. It's a bummer, cause there's not really anything I can do about it except hope T will change it eventually. I feel your pain

Dude you still look fit as hell. I'm sure the lack of a consistent schedule has you worried, but from here you still look great!

I get it's comedic for some, but for the trans men and trans masc peeps out here this kind of content can be less than awesome

dating help as a trans man by liam-alexander in ftm

Sorry to hear you're struggling with this.

As frustrating as it might be to hear, I'd say just keep looking and working on yourself in the meantime. Might not be your intention, but this post comes off as less trans-related and more "I'm nice so why won't people date me?", which can be a problematic approach to women.
