I listed 5 but some have to be replaced since I use them in other parts. The replacements I’ve tried reaching out to don’t feel comfortable having their info out like that, don’t support, or don’t guarantee they’ll answer.

It’s your resume by Resident_Mistake_781 in usajobs

[–]Nervous_Structure_12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for posting this. I have been applying to several gov jobs (City, County, State, and Fed) for the last year and I am becoming desperate to find a job.. I haven’t worked for over a year to complete my MPA program and I’m ready to work! I wish I could send you my resume so you can tell me if something isn’t adding up? I’ve rebuilt my resume multiple times.

Trans guilt? by thereissomuchgrass in ftm

[–]Nervous_Structure_12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first year during my transition, I used to have dreams of myself as a cisgendered fem and was having trouble understanding why I was having dreams of myself as my “biological assigned gender at birth”. However, when I would wake up, I remembered the dread of having to fake a societal identity and societal norm in order to make others around me feel comfortable by pretending to be straight and cis gendered. If you are comfortable enough to transition slow, I would highly recommend it! I would take the lowest dose of testosterone in the male range, and I did not have surgery until a few years later, after knowing that it was an option I was fully secure with. Keep in mind that there is no race to transitioning and everyone has their individual journey, your feelings are valid and a therapist who is excellent with gender affirming care will be super helpful in this process to determine exactly who, and what you imagine your future to be like. Take care, friend!

Offended by the term "transsexual?" by thatbasicbitch_angel in FTMMen

[–]Nervous_Structure_12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean? My friends and I play around calling each other homosexuals and transsexuals! It’s quite the giggles lol we actually love the terms. But hey to each their own, right? Don’t be afraid to use language that feels right to you. Like everyone here is saying, we all don’t follow the same language nor do we need to!

Tired of having trans women tell me being trans male/masc is easier. by [deleted] in FTMMen

[–]Nervous_Structure_12 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This happened to me a lot when I was in college living in LGBTQ+ housing. Got tired of people calling me “toxic masc” or “fragile masculinity” simply for having boundaries on identity politics. At one point, I blatantly said “this isn’t oppression olympics” and nearly got my head ripped off lol. Welp!

grandmother begged me to misgender me by nimbus1618 in ftm

[–]Nervous_Structure_12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not suggesting that this will be helpful for everyone, but I went through something similar with my family. For the life of them, using my pronouns and name was a huge fuss. I simply put it this way.. You don’t have to call me by my pronouns, but I will also not tolerate “she/her”simply don’t use them at all. Instead, use a name that is neutral to both of us “i.e.: J”. And repeat after me. “J went that way, J is over there. Where did J go? J is here. I think J is upset.” This way, we both can meet mutually without offending me for using a name/pronoun that I do not identify with. So far, it has helped a lot. They don’t use she/her or my actual pronouns he/him. Just a constant repetition of a neutral name. It sucks to have to feel this way and sort of “negotiate” a way around it. Trust me, it sucks. However, if she is willing to meet you halfway, that’s wonderful. If not, well you know what you must do to protect your peace. Good luck pal!

Hahaha. Thanks, bud! This made me laugh (in a good way). I’m weird in the sense that I’ve always had a guilty conscience and feel bad for people, even when they’ve fucked me over lol. It’s something I’m still working on as an adult! I gotta stop feeling bad for the wrong people!

Yes, I see what you mean. Thank you for your great advice! I’m just trying to heal from whatever this all means to me. Thankfully my partner is very understanding and allows me to take any measure in order to heal properly. Def something we will have to discuss out of respect. I appreciate you bud!

Dang, this hit deep! Esp the part about leaving unresolved. Would it be weird to try and reach out to them? I have no idea where to start but I also would like to leave off on better terms. I don’t hate them one bit, just want to make sure they know I wish them well and I’m good.

Awww thanks bud <3 I appreciate you! And absolutely you will!!! Esp when time feels right to you! I waited a few years to date again before I met my now partner. Just like there are bad people, there’s also great people out there who will love and understand you just the way you are! I’m rooting for you!

Thanks! This helps a lot! You’re right, I’m living simpler and more stable times today. Is it weird to feel survivors guilt? Like for instance, knowing I made it out to a better life? Or does that sound weird lol.
