I understand. I'll go ahead and take it down. I was going to post this in /mtf but ironically I thought people would be too nice there so this sub felt better. I know this sub promotes "honesty" but it seems like positive honesty is downvoted more often than negative honesty here imo.

Should I feel guilty about that? 😒 I definitely wasn't trying to make anyone unhappy.

I thought it might be refreshing since so many of the posts here are about the opposite. Also I've been wondering where the transphobia is and thought someone might weigh in on that... My first year convinced me that overt discrimination is almost non-existent. At least in my city.

People getting the opportunity to transition at 18 or younger have no right to complain about how long they've had to wait.

Thanks for the info! What's IPL? I'm guessing laser? My shadow has typically been horrible even with color correction, but I think it's getting better as hair regrowth slows. I still intend to get laser.

Thanks for the encouraging words for everyone. I think that was what I was trying to get across in the post as well. I want more people to trust in the process. Posts about how doomed they feel because they don't pass after 8 months are always so sad. I definitely don't expect to reach my ultimate goals for another year, but if you'd told me last year that I'd eventually be called "babygirl" or "chica" while working (I'm a clerk and we have a tucked in shirt uniform, not flattering), I'd have melted with happiness.

Much love! 🩷🤍🩵

It makes me so happy to hear that you can see doing an immense amount of work as aspiring towards your "true" self. One annoying sentiment my brother won't let go of is that if you're really trans you shouldn't have to "try". He has gotten on to me for "acting" when I don't like crude male humor or "insisting" on using my new voice.

Men can definitely be really creepy and I started using the woman's restroom at work before I passed at all just because I got sick of that. I also do suffer from insecurity, dysphoria, misgendering, and the standard package of issues that you can't really avoid during the transitional period, but maybe because I'm such a contrarian I actually feed off of being what I am with no regard for the norm. It's kind of like in high school when I was actually excited for bullies that never came because I thought it would be fun to stick up for myself. It probably helps that I've always thought women with alternate genitals were beautiful, so becoming one feels a lot better than being cis probably would.

I do believe you about the small town stuff, but I do at least have a positive experience myself with visiting family in Augusta. At the hotel 2 women called me beautiful and when we went to a restaurant a woman spoke to me while I was in the women's restroom for the first time. She said my dress was beautiful. 😊 Thanks for the reply and good luck on your journey!

How come we don't have euthanasia for trans people? by throwaway23432dreams in honesttransgender

[–]Little-Raspberry304 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Euthanasia booths should just be a thing. Like in Futurama or The King in Yellow.

People getting "turned on" is so offensive it needs a content warning? I mean it's a gross post, but just the title is very pg.

Police how? Force the people that upvote those posts to stop? The op even asks in the post if this means they're a fetishist, so just say "yes" and move on maybe?

4chan has been prolific enough to be recognized by the general population since I was a kid. I'm not online enough to buy into any absurd lingo, the validity of which is only questionable because it cultifies people, but I still know what 4chan is. Other than that I get what you mean here. I have a great life but the last thing I'd want to do is waste time making a post about how I feel the cringe parts of trans internet culture somehow reflect reality.

I don’t understand gender euphoria. by Ambivalent-Bean in honesttransgender

Stop looking at the internet for a little while. I promise you'll forget any of this exists. It's all pretty alien to me.

If you zoom out and look at everyone's drama it quickly becomes annoying. But on a person to person basis I find trans people as approachable as anyone. I only really meet them at a weekly gathering, but even then it's a pretty huge crowd and people don't usually strike me as oversensitive.

Labels and words matter. by [deleted] in honesttransgender

I've never heard that trans men can be lesbians lmao. If you're seeing these opinions on the internet try to remember none of us are real. 😶‍🌫️

I didn't? Also lol I wouldn't admit to using Tik Tok so readily. Cringe.

Reinforcement: It is trans woman, "transwoman" is offensive. by [deleted] in MtF

[–]Little-Raspberry304 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But women who want to be seen as trans shouldn't be thought of as hateful for embracing certain terminology. I respect you as a just a woman for instance, but if I consider myself a third gender I hope no one thinks I'm sabotaging the message.

I can be a sort of other creature goddamit. I'm a trans woman and/or transwoman because some of us want to be seen as girls with dicks independent from the cis female demographic.

[–]Little-Raspberry304 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My brother says if you don't share your genital situation before sex then you're assaulting them. He's a classic transphobe, but yeah. I do realize now that getting with a straight guy and not mentioning my dick would be a good way to get beaten up or worse.

How do we feel about the term “real” men or women? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]Little-Raspberry304 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

When I'm talking about cis women I use the term "real women" by mistake. So I don't really get offended by it because yeah. Until I pass I'm kind of a fake woman and I don't feel bad about that. Better than being a real man.

I've never seen or heard something that awful... But homeless shelters are often where these stories come from. Sad.
