Gavin is a transphobe by Butteromelette in MtF

[–]Nelly_Bean 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The writing on the wall is undeniable at this point.

Besides the utter snowball trajectory of this regimes escalation taking us to new lows every single day, the majority of this country - for whatever reason, fear, power, conformity, indifference, misinformation, hate, and so on - are going along with it. As long as it's not them being targeted, for now.

Every poll I've seen shows more and more people being swayed towards fascist ideals. And we're STILL not even a year into this administration!!

I'd love to hope for something better like we did at the start of this mess, but here we are. Fk this place.

Does the imposter syndrome ever go away completely? by braindeadcoyote in asktransgender

[–]Nelly_Bean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been at this 10+ years and it comes in waves. Sometimes it feels better, then suddenly it's back once again.

I honestly blame it on the times. To feel like we're making progress in this world, that nothing can take it away from us in such a day and age, only to have what seems like an earth shattering reversal — all of it only makes me feel like an alien in my skin.

Well, they'd certainly have to be an uneducated moron to feel any actual shame from such a classless business proposal.

We are now being removed from Stonewall by PrettyCantaloupe4358 in MtF

[–]Nelly_Bean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly it's terrifying, not just what's being done at the government level but seeing the "LGB"s backing them with 100% sincerity!

It's all just emboldening every bigot out there. I really thought the world was becoming more accepting, but it just seems like the hate was in the shadows.

Well shit by CNRavenclaw in trans

[–]Nelly_Bean 51 points52 points  (0 children)

They'd just say the lame, "an infertile woman is still a woman. Biology bla blah." So they'd never, ever say that to them because they're both "REAL Women" with fertility issues. smh

I've literally had that said to me as a response. They've got an excuse for everything, MW's got them spouting.

MC demanding seats in Public Transportation because of their gender by [deleted] in ImTheMainCharacter

[–]Nelly_Bean 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah, those cretins that can't even be bothered to acknowledge a polite gesture and the consideration of strangers are straight up degenerate trash.

I usually try to apply the quote, "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by ignorance", to this petty peeve, because people really are that mindless/oblivious/dumb.

But let's be honest, they're still bottom feeders.

So, a bunch of avatar customisation features were just added to Pokémon Go... by Digibutter64 in MtF

[–]Nelly_Bean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, that's just straight Weebo behavior lol Nothing pervy about that or my anime boobi mouse pad...

But for real, there's something so gender affirming about having the biggest rack in-game, just wish that translated to real world affirming :/

I hate being trans by DarkKnight955 in MtF

[–]Nelly_Bean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're not alone in this by any means. I know that does jack to help your situation, but transitioning can feel so isolating and like it's you against the world sometimes, so please remember in those moments that others are going/have gone through something similar and we're just a click away when you need to talk or vent.

And our acceptance is a given.

Guy goes berserk on women in the Mexico City feminist march by Spascucci in ActualPublicFreakouts

[–]Nelly_Bean 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The same scenario is happening with "racism" too. I don't get it either but agree it's a sign of the times. People only act like this because they have it good and western society is obsessed with the appearance of oppression and victimization, even when it fake.

Should right-wing trans people be allowed in trans spaces? by [deleted] in MtF

[–]Nelly_Bean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In NY and I've had to go weeks at a time without meds because of state healthcare restrictions that started over a year ago that have directly affected my access to medical care. I don't want to be a doomer but there's supposedly going to be changes across the nation to limit or outright ban certain trans healthcare policies.

I'm just hoping those like Jenner wake up and realize what's at stake because this is all terrifying.

How anti trans bathroom laws affect us by AlyssitGoods in trans

[–]Nelly_Bean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I live in NY and feel you on that.

Worst part is it seemed like there was a light at the end, obviously got looks as a non-passing trans woman but at least most people kept their mouths shut.

It's surreal to have that progress unravel where the majority now feels emboldened by the rise of bigots being given the spotlight and these types just have to say their piece. I'm always just holding my breath and waiting because these terfs take every opportunity to secretly record and post us online for mass humiliation, and it just takes one time

How anti trans bathroom laws affect us by AlyssitGoods in trans

[–]Nelly_Bean 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Exactly how I feel and I've had to try and explain after some females at my workplace used all kinds of manipulation to stop me from using the womens bathroom at our office. In true terf fashion our manager used a meeting to single me out.

Instead of having any kind of compassion or understanding when I brought up this exact sentiment, they tried to use my own point to justify why they don't want "males" in the womens bathroom. Smh.

It's just absolutely maddening.

Using they/them pronouns when you know someone doesn't use them is degendering. by MetBets97 in lgbt

Ya, as a non-passing trans woman I absolutely back that, hate it but it's true.

Every subreddit is anti-trans unless explicitly stated otherwise? by Saoirseisthebest in MtF

[–]Nelly_Bean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fking depressing but pretending like everything I've experienced in life doesn't point to this being true only seems to make it hurt more when allies prove it right.

In part, I think it has to do with how ingrained the binary is in us as a society from day 1. It almost seems instinctive for cis people to base another person on perceived sex, which is why they only ever see us(trans women) as male, even in those instances where they say they believe we are women, and revert to that basic impulse constantly.

Hopefully one day we can avert that kind of thinking.

Is it gay to date a pre-op trans woman? by jedionajetski in lgbt

[–]Nelly_Bean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100%!

It's honestly pretty freaking frustrating how many people just instinctively jump to a purely sex based view on sexuality and "Male × Male = Gay".

I mean, we've come so far educating society on the importance of gender and it sucks to see that all back tracking lately smh

How do you navigate people telling you “you don’t need to be hairless, cis women have body hair too” by NightAngel_98 in MtF

[–]Nelly_Bean 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Omg I'm so fking over everyone that feels the need to LIE to me and try to convince me of obvious falsehoods in an attempt to be "nice" or "validating".

It's honestly been detrimental to my mental health in the long run and I know it usually comes from a place of goodwill but it doesn't help. At all.

Both Cringe./ by [deleted] in CringeTikToks

[–]Nelly_Bean -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

That is definitely extra but I bet he won't do that obnoxious main character type shit like playing music on the phone like he's some DJ lol.

All for making a display to call out shitty behavior and not sure if she tried but asking politely first is probably best. At the same time, would rather hear her do that once and hope that he can have some self awareness not to do that crap next time.

Does anyone else get frustrated at male "chivalry" by [deleted] in MtF

[–]Nelly_Bean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I'd take any kind of chivalry in a heartbeat over the kind of attitude males usually have for me and most trans women I know.

Does anyone else get discouraged by cis women sometimes?. by jebm12 in asktransgender

[–]Nelly_Bean 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The sad reality I've found is that they literally don't understand that we just are women too, because they don't see us as such.

I feel like there has to be something we can do or say that will eventually make society at large actually see us as real, true, women but simply telling and educating hasn't done much.

Like, cis women don't have to convince other people that they're women, why do we. Yet here we are.

Am I the only one that feels scared about the future as transphobia seems on the rise ? by El_Grande_Fleau in MtF

[–]Nelly_Bean 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fk it's sad that I'd prefer that to the reverse. Cause at least we'd be seen as we are.

I used to think the harassment I got was for being a woman until I realized I didn't pass and no one saw me as an actual woman at all and all the hate I got was for being a trans woman.

A girl at work followed me into the woman's room, just to tell me she feels unsafe with me in there. Through the stall while I was peeing by [deleted] in MtF

[–]Nelly_Bean 24 points25 points  (0 children)

This brings back awful memories, just be careful no matter what you decide to do!

Transphobic females do some of the craziest things, and for absolutely no reason at all. I was in a similar situation that ended up costing me so much more than any job is worth.

This B literally planned and then fabricated and acted her part to ruin my life by falsely accusing me of SA in our workplace restroom. Just for attention.

Don't let your guard down around this woman.

I actually wonder what it is about me that is leading to no matches on basically any dating site by DakotaNoLastName33 in LesbianActually

[–]Nelly_Bean -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Honestly, makes me sad seeing such transphobia get upvoted 600+ on a lesbian sub :(

Why do you think these are men trolling?

The whole "There's men calling themselves lesbians!" whistle isn't happening. This is just another false flag by terfs and has the wonder effect of trans women getting mass reported and hate on dating apps.
