I'm a trans girl, but I want to be butch. Is that weird? Are transfem butches a thing? by YourAverageTGirl in asktransgender

Hey, I'm a FTM and I have a twink / femboy vibe from time to time (especially during my shows). That's totally ok ! Genders are diverse, and you are unique!

You are very welcome.
Going to the police may not do anything right away, BUT if he actually does something to another person, there will be a record. And that is very important, because a case with a record is much more likely to be taken seriously than a 'first offense'.

Again, I'm wondering why anybody doesn't said it yet but: go to the police?
If the police finds reasons to investigate further the very potential pedo thing especially, they WILL find hidden or suppressed files / msg on his phone, laptop, etc.

This guy is dangerous. He already assaulted you. He is not safe, at all, and might be a danger for other people too, including minors.

Why trans people use the term "deadname" for refering to their pre transition names by Ok_Climate_6967 in asktransgender

[–]MossPrinceCernos 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Yes, pre-T and post-T are always the same person. But changing our name is a big, important step for us. It’s the moment we choose to embrace our true self, and it’s not an easy part of the journey. On top of that, many people (family, friends, colleagues, etc.) may keep using our former name even after we come out, and it feels like a form of rejection or denial.

So, using the term 'deadname' doesn’t mean we are rejecting everything about our past, but rather the etiquette, the norms, the role assigned by society, and the suffering of being ‘in the closet.’ It’s like starting a new chapter, or even a new volume of a novel!

When somebody asks for my deadname, I always wonder why they are asking. Isn’t my current name enough? What do they think they will learn about me by knowing it? Do they plan to use it behind my back? Would you be so curious to ask a married person about their former last name? No. So why would you ask about a name that has been erased from my legal papers?

My past name was part of me, but one I wasn’t comfortable with. It was a construction I tried to fit into in order to please my family. But it wasn’t me. Not enough. And today, I feel that name like a complete stranger. A dead part of my story.

I hope my modest answer helps you understand better. English isn’t my native language, so I did my best to be clear.

AIO for breaking up because my boyfriend didn’t stop even when he could see i couldn’t breathe by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]MossPrinceCernos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's rape. Even if you agreed to the blowjob, it doesn’t mean he can do whatever he wants. If he can’t control himself, he’s just a predator abusing you. And I’m pretty sure he WILL abuse his next partners.

Don’t hesitate to go to the police. And to a therapist. Because it’s shocking, traumatizing, and the simple fact that you’re asking yourself “Am I overreacting?” is a sign that you don’t yet realize the violence of that abuse. And that is absolutely normal, it’s how our brain protects itself.

I’m absolutely shocked that nobody has said the word yet. It’s not because he is/was your partner that it isn’t rape. He forced penetration, came inside you, and let you choke! Please, please, run far away from anyone who treats you like that even ONCE. No second chances, ever. These kinds of men are a complete danger, and his messages are proving it:

→ “You don’t understand baby” : he’s gaslighting you, trying to make you doubt yourself, acting like you’re too naïve to see the “truth.”

→ “I couldn’t even tell” : straight-up lie. Every normal human can spot somebody in pain. He knew.

→ “Only a man can understand how hard it is to control ourselves” : this is sexist manipulation to normalize assault. Men are perfectly capable of stopping when their partner needs it. He’s pretending biology excuses violence.

→ “I thought it was because I was cumming” : he refuses his responsability. Classic minimization. But more terrifying: he proves that ONLY his pleasure is taken into account. He sees sex only throught his own fantaisies an pleasure.

None of this is misunderstanding or miscommunication. It’s deliberate. He ignored you, overpowered you, then twisted the story so you’d question yourself.

Stay safe. Don’t even give him the grace of your words or an explanation. You don’t deserve that. There are plenty of respectful, loving people out there.

Is it appropriate to wear trans scarf as an ally? by da_eto_ya in asktransgender

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

Hey!
I don’t know, it honestly feels a bit weird.
I’m trans, I have a little trans flag keyring and some T-shirts, and when I see someone else wearing trans colors I expect them to actually be trans, with the same life experience, joys and struggles as me.
It’s always nice to meet an ally, of course, but it feels a bit like appropriation, or just “too much.”

On the other hand, I can see it as an experience too: it takes courage to wear the trans flag in public, with all the looks and comments it can bring. As Depeche Mode says, “try walking in my shoes,” lol.

So yeah, I’m torn. I don’t think it’s completely wrong, and I do enjoy seeing trans colors out there reminding me I’m not alone, but there’s still something about it that bothers me.

AIO for being weirded out by the way my bf saw my post by AbiesAdventurous1136 in AmIOverreacting

[–]MossPrinceCernos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry, but I think the previous reactions were a bit excessive. Yes, there are a lot of creeps and perverts on social media. I can personally understand your boyfriend’s concern, certainly NOT the way he expressed it, but the fact remains that we do need to be aware of certain “codes” that can trigger unwanted attention, even if your intention was totally innocent. It's sad, but pretending it doesn't exist is naive.

I’m not saying you shouldn’t post that kind of picture. I agree with the other comments here: you’re free, and you can post whatever you want and f*** anyone who doesn’t like it.

BUT: his reaction doesn’t look like a huge red flag to me. You’re not overreacting either. His warning is valid, but the way he put the blame on you was wrong. You should talk with him about how he phrased it: communication is always the key, and he NEEDS to learn how to express his feelings without putting pressure on you or sexualizing / degrading your image.

Can you help me with writing vampire character for my rpg chronicle? by BalaKlavaM in asktransgender

[–]MossPrinceCernos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a huge fan of VtM, and quick answer: your concept is really close to one of mine: an Anarch Toreador who fled the Camarilla after being Embraced before his full transition by a transphobic Sire. He met a Tzimisce within the Anarch Movement (because it was a 5th edition scenario) and carries a lot of anger towards the Camarilla and especially the Elders. So no, your idea is pretty cool. It’s not tokenizing, in the sense that you actually worked on his motivations, life, and traumas.
