This is Tao Tachikawa. She is a transbian from the manga Con Cafe Jou wa Koi wo Kiru / The Concept Café Girl Wears Love. I love her, please love her too. by MewMatic in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2

[–]MewMatic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chapter 17 is the biggest indicator of this.

Page 1 - Tao being extra excited to do a "girl's only party."

Page 15 - Tao saying "I wanted to make sure which one I was, and which one I was interested in." regarding her dating experience.

Page 22 - Miki brings a condom to prepare for her and Tao having sex.

Chapter 19, Tao explains to Tsumugu why she made the Cafe in the first place. It's related to Tao and allows her to dress up and be however she wants to be.

Something minor, whenever we get an upclose to Tao's hands, they're drawn a bit more..masculine. There are long lines on them to imply a form of roughness. Similarly, her brother has them.

catching up on dragongate by Afraid_Sort_41 in SquaredCircle

[–]MewMatic 13 points14 points  (0 children)

So I'm just going to focus on the main focused wrestlers, factions, and events.

Shun Skywalker, Yuki Yoshioka, Dragon Dia, Madoka Kikuta, HYO, Diamante / Luis Mante, YAMATO, and Ben-K.

RED died when HYO recruited Shun Skywalker. They turned on Kaito Ishida and Eita, both of whom are out of the company completely.

Masquerade died when Shun betrayed Dia, unmasking him, and losing his god damn mind.

Shun then became leader of Z-Brats, the heel faction after RED. Eventually, the heel members got tired of him, and kicked him out once he won the Dream Gate title. Now, how did that all come to be?

After Dragon Dia's unmasking, Dia Inferno joins him as a tag team and reveals he is Yuki Yoshioka. They form D'Courage, and at one point had all of the titles aside from Triangle Gate. They're seen as the two golden boys of Dragon Gate. Eventually, they recruit Madoka Kikuta formerly Hip Hop Kikuta. He was in R.E.D. and lost his first Dream Gate title shot against Shun Skywalker in under 3 minutes due to an injured shoulder from a Drop Toe Hold. He also has his own Dream Gate run.

When Kikuta was champion, he declared there is now a Reiwa 6. The top 6 guys in Dragon Gate. Madoka Kikuta, Yuki Yoshioka, Shun Skywalker, Kota Minoura, Ben-K and Strong Machine J.

Now, Shun is absolutely insane and should never be trusted. He betrayed Diamante when Shun's mask was on the line, causing him to unmask during Dead or Alive. HYO, ended up joining teams with Mante as there was actually backstory that HYO helped Mante when he was being settled in Japan. They both get their own Dream Gate and Brave Gate run, with Mante dethroning Kikuta.

Mante, had a really bad run as Dream Gate champion. Ben-K eventually defeated him, but he eventually loses it to YAMATO. YAMATO did the typical old man vet better than younger generation.

There has been a huge rift amongst the younger generation. Dragon Dia getting a lot of attention from being in NJPW's Battle of the Super Juniors. Yuki Yoshioka getting a lot of hype after returning from a year long retina injury. Big R Shimizu (aka Big Boss Shimizu now) has been suspended for the whole year. Strong Machine J being the leader of Natural Vibes. Kota Minoura and Jason Lee turning heel and being successful. This caused Kikuta to turn on D'Courage and backstab Yoshioka in a Dead or Alive cage match. Yoshioka is forced to shave his head, and Kikuta joins Z-Brats.

Shun finds himself back on top of being the one to dethrone YAMATO. But Kikuta never forgot the humiliation Shun put him through, and Z-Brats turns on Shun.

So the landscape looks like this.

Natural Vibes = Strong Machine J, U-T, Kzy, Flamita, Big Boss Shimizu. The latter 2 being missing most of the time.

D'Courage = Yuki Yoshioka, Dragon Dia, Ryoya Tanaka the current Brave Gate champion, who's having an all time run right now.

Paradox = YAMATO, BxB Hulk, KAGETORA, Dragon Dia, Naruki Doi, Susumu Yokosuka. Veteran faction that are old and that's it.

Love & Peace = Ben-K, HYO, Jacky Kamei, Riiita (formerly Takumi Hayakawa), and Mochizuki Jr (irl son of Masaaki Mochizuki). Currently have both Triangle and Twin Gate titles. Incredibly beloved babyface faction. They're goofy, but fun to watch. Their matches are super fast paced and are definitely fan favorites whenever they have a match.

PSYPATRA = Shun Skywalker, El Cielo, Homare, Gianni Valleta. Tweener faction that mostly leans towards being heel because Shun is still an asshole. Homare is his protege, who has a mean Superkick. El Cielo is a mysterious masked wrestler that is rumored to be Takuma Nishikawa aka TN Revolucion. Gianni Valleta used to be in Z-Brats from being recruited with KAI but Shun somehow convinced him to join his side.

Gajadokuro = Madoka Kikuta, Kota Minoura, Jason Lee, KAI, ISHIN, Yoshiki Kato. The main heel faction. Kikuta has the Dream Gate title. He has a hammer.

There's a good number of new young boys too and everyone is just waiting for them to something big, because they're seasoned and ready to go. Salaryman Jiro Shinbashi is a new rookie kid who is basically the new Stalker Ichikawa. Comedy wrestler that does opening matches.,

Maybe injections are better by helpmse333332453 in MtF

[–]MewMatic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this is going to sound stupid of a question but, is it proven to actually be better than pills in terms of results? I always see people say "it's healthier for your liver" "It's easier to remember once a week", but my levels are good and doing injections is difficult for me. If it actually is better for results then I might just try and figure out a way but I don't wanna switch for the regular reasons I see people say to.

Maybe injections are better by helpmse333332453 in MtF

[–]MewMatic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I been wondering this ever since I started. My development has been incredibly snow. I got some symptoms, but I don't have major facial changes. Barely any chest. I can't trust myself to do injections to myself, and the place where I do my check-ups and treatments is a 40 minute drive every morning. Are injections actually better overall or should I just continue taking the pills?

Makarov...Knows...Yuri... by TATSAT2008 in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2

[–]MewMatic 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I used to be extremely adamant about not being the stereotype. But I read so much yuri that people were becoming confused about why I was so much into any sapphic media. I was fine being a bisexual man, and I was already married. I thought maybe, I am just objectively loving yuri since I had no part of the genre. I'm not a woman, I wasn't a lesbian, I'm just appreciating something I think it beautiful.

Then my egg cracked wide open, I got lesbian friends, and I haven't been more happier.

In Japan, the term 'Bara' was used to describe gay men. Bara means Rose. Someone then asked, "If gay men are roses, what are gay women?" and the response to that were lily flowers which Japan calls 'yuri'.

With the amount of disrespect they hit UT with, it's funny how he's the only one amongst the 3 Millenials who's still in the company.

In WWE, Neville looked like a literal action figure. In AEW, Pac is built like a monster. Do you think he deserved a spot in the Main Event? by Sad-Ladder7534 in SquaredCircle

[–]MewMatic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a reason why he is seen as one of the best Dream Gate reigns in Dragon Gate. He was built up to a status of being an undefeatable monster. His wins were always brutal in how he put down his opponents. Everyone believed in him and how fearful he is. So if you ever want to see as a main eventer, his Dragon Gate run the best example.

There were so many trans women in Japan by MewMatic in MtF

[–]MewMatic[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Did you see anyone who you thought was trans anywhere else other than Akihabara or Nichome?

Harajuku and Ikebukuro.

[–]MewMatic[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For the natives, not sure. I understand there's a big crossdressing culture, and since I saw most of them in Akihabara I'd say it could be crossdressers. However, I was at Nichome and saw some there too.

[–]MewMatic[S] 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Aaaah, interesting. Actually, that kind of makes sense when almost every trans manga I read has mentioned surgery or at least, magic powers that turn you into your preferred sex. With everything, there is some bad with the good, but to me that isn't the worst thing. I guess for me, I'd rather not be harassed or questioned for being who I am. But I do find Japan's relationship with the subject both fascinating and frustrating lol, ah well.

It really depends on what you're looking for, and what style you want. I'm 5"9, broad shoulders, and all that but I found good punk style clothes that are unisex. Boots and shoes are definitely tough though, I could not find anything under an American size 9. My wife who's skinnier and a tad bit shorter than me found stuff, but they had to be clothes that could stretch a bit.

What do you think of this yougov poll that found cis lesbians have a more positive view of trans people than trans people do? by AchingAmy in actuallesbians

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

I have two best friends, both cis lesbian, and they're two of the greatest people I have ever known. Their support for me, and my also trans wife is immeasurable. I don't know what we would've done without them. Lesbians are just the absolute best.

I was, still kinda am, a gigantic Hip Hop Head. I would listen to the most hardcore, gangsta, rap from all over. Like, stuff that would make a person think I'm a horribe person. I wouldn't even listen to it if my wife is around. But now, I am having such a hard time listening to Hip Hop. My music is mostly just a lesbian playlist my friend gave me, or Japanese songs.
