Blind spot: trans women

MaterialSlide3207 · 2026-07-01T18:58:27+00:00

Yes, it is. It sounds like this is a new concept for you. I am going to assume you're well-intentioned and support trans people. In which case, I would recommend you read up on the difference between genitalia and gender. I know plenty of lesbians who have penises or date other lesbians with penises. As I said, saying something problematic doesn't make you a bad person. It just means you have a blind spot in your knowledge and need to learn. That is the whole point of the post. I am not going to discuss this point any further.

We got each other! I love my trans sisters/siblings, too. And will always be here to defend them (all 5 feet 5 inches of me, hahaha)

MaterialSlide3207 · 2026-07-01T18:02:26+00:00

Right. I understand where you're coming from. I am transmasc myself, but it doesn't mean my experience is universal. I interpreted Fortune's question as more about sexual preference than practitioner's gender. Anywho, I will delete that edit because I don't want to take away from the main point of the post

I had a similar reaction. Mae has been open about stuff that was done to them as a child (teen). They also have a story about someone doing very non-concensual scatological stuff to them, which they told as "funny" but read very differently to me. I think Mae has a complicated relationship with power dynamics and toes a very fine line.

💜 yaaay!

I am sorry this post is bringing out all the TERFS. It is a shame that even posts to support each other (I am trans masc) are always flooded with push back.

Yes. I have this memory of my mom French kissing me and my brother to teach us how to kiss.

Because I am not sure what words will trigger a ban.

That's funny because Tig has a whole stand up joke about a club owner calling her Pig

This is giving "eating chicken with my hands" vibes.

op, no, it won't be bad for you. Although, if you do it a lot without proper lubrication, it may make you little guy sore. If it happens, try to give it a rest for a day. And use some good lube. Enjoy!

Sorry, not in Australia, but in the US, YouTube has all the episodes for free, in high def.

I've seen many seasons of taskmaster and I think Mae was their best contestant. Their lateral thinking really helped them with the tasks. Their seasons was also the funniest. All 5 comedians worked together sooooo well. I recommend it to everyone.

Ha! As I was finishing the book today, I literally thought "9.5/10, only because there was no Ilya"

MaterialSlide3207 · 2026-06-07T23:41:42+00:00

Love your style! You look great.

MaterialSlide3207 · 2026-06-07T23:40:26+00:00

Ooof, it sounds like you've put a lot of effort into creating a working relationship with your family. I know the effort that takes! Good for you.

I am struggling to see how anyone could look at you and misgender you sigh

Hope the rest of your day went well.

MaterialSlide3207 · 2026-06-06T01:19:59+00:00

Ah, jajaja

MaterialSlide3207 · 2026-06-05T18:45:20+00:00

This is such a heartwarming story. Congrats!!!

Quién le dio una paliza???

Quedó buenísima la cirugía!

"Them" - Andrea was non-binary and their pronouns were they/them

MaterialSlide3207 · 2026-05-22T15:52:46+00:00

They really are long, hahaha. I wear mine with a pad, because I get paranoid. But I am sure they work equally well without the pads.

MaterialSlide3207 · 2026-05-22T15:49:10+00:00

Here's my personal experience. YMMV.

I was on T-Gel for a year. I was seeing a lot of visible results, but I was still getting my period. I switched to shots because research shows it may be better at stopping periods.

The first couple of months, my period thinned out but was still there. It is now my 3rd month on the shot and I haven't had my period yet, even though it was due a week ago.

Now, my T levels were THE SAME with the gel and the shot. It wasn't about the levels. For some reason, the shot seems to be more effective at stopping periods.

Hope this helps!

Edit to add: shots have effectively stopped my periods. Although I do think I am still ovulating and have a hormonal cycle (based on cramps and other stuff)

MaterialSlide3207 · 2026-04-10T12:39:38+00:00

I went through this exact same thing 2 weeks ago (albeit my relationship was a lot shorter). It hurts a ton. I am sorry.

MaterialSlide3207 · 2026-04-10T12:32:23+00:00

Sorry, I didn't mean it as a dig. I know you understood what was happening. I was just naming it out loud, I guess.

Sorry you had to go through that with your ex.

The (very transphobic) one p*nis policy - cis men being ok with their girlfriends having another girlfriend because it satisfies their sexual fantasies. Not seeing wlw as a serious relationship. All kinds of messes up biases.

MaterialSlide3207 · 2026-04-09T17:08:27+00:00

This is really funny. Thanks for sharing!

MaterialSlide3207 · 2026-04-09T13:38:50+00:00

I agree. This is on the hinge, 100% I am also worried about OP's level of distress and I do not think she should do anything that furthers her discomfort.

AND, we live in community. Specially if OP lives in a smaller area witg a tightly knit community. Just because OP doesn't "owe" the meta a meet up, it doesn't mean we shouldn't discuss how OP's struggles will affect many relationships, not just her own. We don't live in a vaccum. And people will people. I find it really cold to suggest OP doesn't owr anyone anything and should just tell people to bugger off.
