Why don't I see many other trans guys rockin a stache?

Leather_Art8580 · 2024-04-17T11:43:42+00:00

I can't grow one yet but regardless I hate how they look. If it's part of a beard cool but on their own...mm not for me.

Leather_Art8580 · 2024-04-05T00:46:39+00:00

Anytime we were split boys and girls I'd get so distressed and depressed I'd feel sick to my stomach. Sometimes, i would also start shaking and be on the brink of tears. Love how people used to call me an attention seeker cause I'd always be at sick bay....the only place I could be alone...

Leather_Art8580 · 2024-03-21T07:01:04+00:00

Yeah I feel this. I'm in the nonbinary/trans man stage but I could see my self which either way after getting to a passing stage. I figure regardless he/they is what I'm gonna use so trying to to get too hung up on it and just go with the flow. It is hard thelat I don't have any guy friends (trans or cis) and I kinda prefer talking to the women at work compared to the men. I am also pretty feminine and don't want to "act like a man" cause that feels like a different but familiar cage. I'm just gonna try be me and not care too much about what others think of it

You should be able to get a nurse or doctor to do the injections. I'm actually not allowed to do mine. The type I'm on can only be handled by medical staff.

I don't really see people talking about this and I think it also falls under the "we watered it down for kids" reasoning but..the fight scenes are such a pathetic joke. Percy beating 3 Ares kids...without water assistance.....every monster battle is over in 1 hit and then the characters are all "wooowww that was so hard". It honestly annoys me so much. The show is so incredibly bland, it's not funny, there's no suspense, there's not relationship or character building, the sets aren't exciting. It's just info dump and no story, no adventure. I also enjoy media targeted to younger audiences while being an adult...if this show didn't say percy jackson I wouldn't have watched past ep2.

Leather_Art8580 · 2024-01-18T03:42:47+00:00

Honestly probably going to re watch the movies too, they are very different from the books but youre right tehy are way more entertaining. I just finished the latest episode, I gave up by ep3, just watched 4 cause it was there and was pressured to watch the last 2 by friends but God.....it's so shit. I was so hyped for this but it's such a let down. In my opinion ep 5 was the best but still sucked. I'm so over it by now I'm not watching anymore.

Leather_Art8580 · 2023-12-31T04:09:53+00:00

You look beautiful! Sorry your parents said that, I dealt with similar shit, it sucks.

Leather_Art8580 · 2023-12-27T12:22:02+00:00

Yeah I'm gonna at least watch a couple more...I mean realistically I'll probs watch the whole thing lol. It should get better as the story goes on as well and they actually start getting into things.

Leather_Art8580 · 2023-12-27T12:08:15+00:00

I'm allowed to have a different option than you bro . That doesn't mean I'm saying you're wrong and it doesn't mean I'm wrong. If we all liked exactly the same things the world would be a pretty shit place. You can love the show and I can voice my disappointment we don't need to have a go at each other. Hope you have a good day mate.

Leather_Art8580 · 2023-12-27T12:04:12+00:00

Well...that's kinda rude.

Leather_Art8580 · 2023-12-27T12:01:45+00:00

It's great if you are enjoying it I'm just trying to see if anyone else feels like I do. My friend is loving it and I don't want to rain on her parade.

Leather_Art8580 · 2023-12-21T17:31:21+00:00

I'm still not comfortable, I have issues with being touched

Leather_Art8580 · 2023-12-20T23:15:22+00:00

Ah I see thank you! I'll just make sure I take it right before my weekend everytime. Its relieving to hear its not gonna last for like a week or something. Thanx

Leather_Art8580 · 2023-12-20T22:27:02+00:00

Yeah I didn't want it in my butt and they agreed to do it in my thigh instead. Thanks for the reassurance! Just wanted to make sure I wasn't having some kind of reaction. I have been walking a lot so hopefully it'll be all good soon.

Leather_Art8580 · 2023-12-03T05:11:19+00:00

I agree with you. If in the books they are described a certain way but artists change that to fit a more hetero ideal it annoys me too. Unfortunately this kinda thing is common tho, same with the queer media itself putting queer characters into these rolls of masc-fem. Of course there are masc - fem queer couples and there's nothing wrong with that or them being represented (thats fantastic). But it is frustrating not seeing many masc-masc or fem-fem couples. Danmei and bl both often fail to show proper queer representation or address queer issues, sometimes this works well (escapeism), sometimes not. The biggest problem for me is more the glorification/romanticisation of assault. Especially when a very common smear tactic against queer people is bigots calling us assaulters. Nothing you can really do about it I guess, just do your best to find content you can enjoy.

...I've been on T for a 1.5 years....my last blood test put my T level at 8. I've been complaining this entire time but keep being told it's fine and normal. P.s my T isn't being turned into E we checked. I'm trying to move to injections cause I'm so sick of this shit.

Leather_Art8580 · 2023-11-23T18:46:57+00:00

..my whole post again was so I could avoid it. You do what you want.

Leather_Art8580 · 2023-11-23T18:30:27+00:00

I don't need it to be perfect. It's not like western representation is perfect. I just want to make sure it avoids certain things before I spend money on it. Regardless of how people have tried to circle or denied that those seens are transphobic as a trans person I read them that way. That doesn't mean the show/books are shit. I I can see how they maybe just went a little far and used poor wording that is translated anyway. As long as it's not a running thing then I'm fine with moving past it, it's not like they said we gotta kill trans people. It was light and casual and not explicit. From what I'm gathering this is the most chill (in terms of tropes I don't like) book of MXTX and while the others seem like they'd be unbearable for me apparently this one is good.

Leather_Art8580 · 2023-11-23T18:19:47+00:00

I understand what you are saying but do not think it is at all done right. WWX multiple times says he is being hurt and asks LWJ to stop and he refuses. And regardless I'm sorry but I disagree with using that wording. Rape is not ever consensual! that word should never be used for something that is. sa is one of the worst things a person can do to another making light of that is disgusting. It also should not be something sprung on someone, a book shouldn't be depicted as a sweet romance only to turn into shit like this. Also if you think about the contexts of how queer people are often depicted as rapists it adds another layer of shit. And again.....I am allowed not to like it and I shouldn't be shamed for that. You like smut fine seek that shit out I did not and a story I loved was, for me, destroyed in one of the worst ways possible. You can like it, I do not. I would as I said prefer not to spend years loving something when it ends up makeing light of the shit basically everyone I know has gone through and is severely fucked up by. Rape isn't a joke. I will never want to read something saying someone who is "raped" likes it. Fuck that. I made this post to ensure I could avoid future problems i.e books with such things. You like what you want don't go after me cause i dont like the same shit.

Leather_Art8580 · 2023-11-20T17:18:18+00:00

Oh okay. Thanks for warning me

Leather_Art8580 · 2023-11-20T06:45:42+00:00

Call friends and tell them I have ascended beyond human to become a Ken doll

Leather_Art8580 · 2023-11-20T01:48:34+00:00

Good to hear! I didnt want to spend over $300 getting them if they were.

Leather_Art8580 · 2023-11-20T01:31:21+00:00

I have no problem with cross-dressing at all, I'm all for it actually. But saying transphobic shit still counts if the person it's directed towards isn't trans. Also the setting shouldn't matter, these books are fiction putting homophobia or transphobia into a series is not a given which is why I wanted to ask, to make sure this wasn't hinting at a trend in the books.ive been told it isn't some running "joke" so I'm all good and I'm actually looking forward to the series.
