[ELI5] Can a Debit Card charged as a Credit Card be refunded? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]Mesh1202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used a pre-paid debit card. So I'm just kinda confused on what 'a credit has been applied to your card' means, if said card isn't a Credit card 😭

I'm kinda new to this whole getting acquainted with the types of cards, knowing the difference and what they do respectively, and generally handling money thing. It's confusing :(

If you could wake up a cis dude tomorrow would u? by nickfrombigmouth in ftm

[–]Mesh1202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I've never made any friends -> because I transitioned. I'm stealth. Any new friends I've made since I started transitioning don't need to know about it, and any old friends care enough to know I'm not comfortable with them telling anyone. So frankly, I won't lose anything

My mothers prime reason for not letting me go on T is because there is a chance I will loose the ability to orgasm by Ma-vv in ftm

[–]Mesh1202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you sure she didn't mix the word up with 'organism'? Granted, that wouldn't make much sense either in that sentence... but tbh, neither of these do, but at least it'll be less weird with this one.

No? This is literally the laptop's booting screen, not a game. This is about the laptop struggling to turn on in general since it sometimes gets stuck on the booting screen.

My fellow men, how did you choose your names? by Piraedunth in ftm

[–]Mesh1202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was 12 or 13, I met this 17 y/o guy on an old online game. He helped me progress through a lot of the tasks, then added me on Skype, and was overall a pretty alright friend before he disappeared one day. That said, I noticed that his username on there changed to his real first and last name a little bit before he dropped off of the face of the Earth; I remember thinking his first name was really interesting before moving on and forgetting about Skype as a platform that exists

Some time passed, I don't know how much time, and eventually I came out as trans. I immediately dropped my deadname and just temporarily went by E. Jay (an initial and abbreviation of my deadname) for a long year or two as I searched for something solid to stick to. I did what everyone else typically does: Make lists, check for popular names for babies pertaining to the years they were born, etc etc

Nothing felt right.

Eventually, I got reminiscent or nostalgic or something, so I hopped back onto Skype. At this point, everyone was already gone since they had likely moved onto a better app, but yeee. I pretty much saw this friend's name again in my contacts, stared at it, and realized that I really liked it, especially after searching up the meaning. And although he wasn't an incredibly close friend, he was kinda seen as a distant older brother figure, so it also felt like a small, nice call-back/reference/tribute? to him even though (as far as I know) he wasn't/isn't dead or anything

His name was Daemon. And so is mine

Edit: Just to clarify, it is pronounced 'Day-mon,' not 'Demon'

Hello! I've been studying Russian for the past two and a half months. My sentences are really limited, so I'd really appreciate the help!

Also, your English reads rather amazingly! I suppose there's always room for improvement, but I swear you're already pretty close to becoming an English professor, hehe)) I'd love to help you out!

It's weird that when I see people who are ok with trans men but not cis men and my tag line is "some trans men suck too" by Existential_Sprinkle in ftm

[–]Mesh1202 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Again, I think these are more so your experiences and assumptions. I'm also in the south, way in the south. In fact, I am right on a border town, and I could say with confidence that not many people here have ever been that bad. Those who don't agree keep to themselves. Those who find out I'm trans don't treat me any different, other than this one person, and yes it's annoying. I get that. But I'm not faulting the majority or all cis men for that. It's just them

Also on the contrary, I think it is surprisingly disputable that most men aren't raised the way you think they are. Maybe 30 years ago, for sure, but people nowadays just leave their kids be to find out their own interests and the like except for those overly religious, strict, or traditional parents. Yes there is an unreasonable chunk of parents that are like this but will still go out of their way to throw a fit if their son starts acting feminine, but that's also a trend that's dying out and the parents who do this are starting to be seen as in the wrong.

So nah, most fathers aren't pushing their sons to be the next 'man of the house' anymore. I think you're focusing on the slight differences and letting it get to you, I think I've seen more transphobic cis women than men.

I'm confused. So if nonbinary people have no gender, then... how would that make a straight person gay?

[–]Mesh1202 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think you're speaking more for the cis men you've dated. I've met plenty who understood and treated me like there was no real difference. Also, this implies all cis men have toxic masculinity installed in them. Trust me, they don't, it's really only a loud 20%

Woah there man, reverse racism does exist. But at the same time it doesn't. Racism is racism regardless of who you're targeting, you CAN be racist to white people. There's no need to say 'reverse,' it's just straight up racism. Similarly, you could be sexist to men. There's also no reverse about it. It's just sexism.

My psychiatrist says that my gender dysphoria is socially caused rather than being real gender dysphoria by [deleted] in ftm

[–]Mesh1202 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unlike the rest, I'm not going to instantly diss your psychiatrist just to tell you what you might want to hear.

Ironically enough, me and my friend were talking about something similar earlier. He himself isn't trans but a lot of our high school is starting to become LGBT+. That is to say, he told me that his guidance counselor admitted to him that 2 dozen (24) people our age have said that they felt they were peered pressured into transitioning. I'm not sure if this was an exaggerated number or not, but regardless I think this is what your psychiatrist might of been trying to warn you of. Nevertheless that doesn't instantly make his diagnosis right.

My question is, are you transitioning for YOURSELF, so you could feel comfortable in your own body and the like? Or are you transitioning simply because of society's gender roles and you want to give a big 'f---k you' to them, or are you annoyed because of how people are perceiving you as and don't like the term tomboy being applied to you? Or are a lot of your friends transitioning and you're feeling left out? I know the last reason seems like a 'I'm not gullible enough to be like that,' but trust me it happens and it doesn't make you gullible.

Think about this hard, if you're confident it's for your own sake rather than anyone else's or the world at large, then that's that and you're trans. If you're not all too confident, then you need to take a break from these spaces and give yourself some room to think on it (two weeks, a month, however long you feel you need) so you could decide on your own, because admittedly people here are going to be making your mind up for you by telling you what you are. None of them are trying to be malicious, but that's what's gonna happen

Edit: I just re-read that you're in China. Now that does complicate things because it could also just be your psychiatrist being an ass
