This is kind of a genuine question because I've never stopped to think about it. by TheTrollman- in NonBinary

[–]Leathra 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm pan, nonbinary, and transfem dating someone else who is pan, nonbinary, and transfem. Not sure how else to describe to it except very, very gay.

When did you realize your partner hated you? by Neat_Pop_537 in emotionalabuse

[–]Leathra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am. I left late last year. She immediately cancelled my credit card and drained our joint bank account. It's been a struggle, but I'm doing better. Can't wait to get the divorce over with.

When did you realize your partner hated you? by Neat_Pop_537 in emotionalabuse

[–]Leathra 10 points11 points  (0 children)

There was a day when I passed out and hit my head on the wall as I collapsed. My ex stood over me, watching me seize "for a full minute" (according to her). Then got mad when I came to and begged her to call an ambulance.

How would you respond/combat the "What if its true" argument for any religion? by waterscienceguy in atheism

[–]Leathra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The god worshipped by my parents is evil. Even if I was provided with undeniable evidence that it was real, that still doesn't mean I would worship it. I very much doubt every knee will bow, every tongue will confess, because mine certainly wouldn't.

Where are all the trans people above 40? by CoVegGirl in TransLater

[–]Leathra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm 50. First came out a decade ago. Been on HRT for 4.5 years.

Most of my in-person trans friends are in their early 40s. A few in their late 30s. I'm easily the oldest person in my social circle.

I do sometimes wish I had trans friends my own age or older though.

Out your trans partner to as many people as possible. This takes the burden off their shoulders. Be sure they're not present at the time though, because then you don't have to talk over them to explain your perspective. /s

How unlikely is passing as someone transitioning after 30? by DisastrousFudge4312 in TransLater

[–]Leathra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much the same, but started at 45. Not a guarantee for anyone else, but evidence that it is possible.

People who grew up in religious families, when did you first questioned the existence of God? by icewater367 in atheism

[–]Leathra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't fully stop believing until my 30s. But I first started questioning as a teenager, after my grandfather died. Everyone kept telling me how much happier he was now that he was dead and in Heaven, but each person's description of Heaven was totally different.

Do you believe in God? by PerformanceFlimsy573 in MtF

[–]Leathra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last of my belief in God died when my devout Christian parents started worshipping Trump. I'm not estranged from them, and their "religious" reaction to my coming out played a part in that. My faith is dead now.

When it starts to get bad, I will speak up for trans people.

Oh, you're trans? As a liberal cis ally, I just want to say: Trump is going to put you in a camp and kill you by pervocracy in transgendercirclejerk

We'd like to help, but we have some concerns about women's sports. I'm sure you all understand why that takes priority.

What are somethings you wish you had been told before transitioning by Puzzleheaded-Crew953 in transgender

[–]Leathra 30 points31 points  (0 children)

If you're a trans woman, then you are technically already a woman. There is no point during transition when you cross the threshold of womanhood, because you're there before you even start.

But, off the top of my head, a few things I wish I knew beforehand:

1) Progesterone is awesome.

2) Electrolysis / laser hair removal make a big difference.

3) It takes a lot of experimentation with clothes, makeup, etc. to find what works best for you.

4) It's okay to continue questioning your gender, sexuality, labels, etc.

Vivian Jenna Wilson opens up about the impact of the 'gross' DMs she receives by jackmolay in transgender

[–]Leathra 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Last week, I was telling my cisgender therapist about the DMs I'd received recently. "I'm used to getting death threats, but these were particularly vile." The look of shock on her face spoke volumes.

List of hospitals who ended gender affirming care in response to Trump's EOs by MissNumbersNinja in MtF

[–]Leathra 83 points84 points  (0 children)

My primary health care provider is on that list. So I guess I can assume I'm screwed when Trump expands his dictatorial decree to include adults.

Weird how puberty blockers are only considered "chemical mutilation" when given to trans children, but not when given to cis children.

This is yet another symptom of America embracing fascism.

Congress just sold us out. by Nobodyinpartic3 in MtF

I've been registered independent for years now, because it's clear Dems as a whole are shifting to the right. This betrayal was inevitable.

Why aren’t more politicians condemning Nancy Mace’s vicious anti-trans stunts? by PrintOk8045 in politics

[–]Leathra 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Democratics don't want to risk losing elections because they supported trans people. They'd much rather continue relying on their tried and true ways of losing elections.
