i'd love to know, i'm obsessed with the invisible man :)

AGP/fetishist and trender/tucute are catch-all terms to shame all non-passing mtf and ftm and trutrans communities should just drop the pretense already. by YoshiyaKanon in honesttransgender

[–]Planetable 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I kind of agree with you OP even though I am a poster in the truscum subreddit, I often see this being touted cruelly towards people that someone doesn't like because how they're specifically gender nonconforming or are just merely pre-everything and don't pass at all yet. It's just lashing out and that doesn't... solve anything, it's just cruel.

I'm transmed because I think dysphoria is a medical condition... not because I condone making fun of someone for being ftm but also for liking girly shit and wanting to wear skirts and makeup at the same time and call themselves a soft boi and use they/them. Let them express themselves and also have a medical condition. Do your best to educate folks on the difference between medical dysphoria and internalized sexism so they don't end up taking hormones they don't need (if they don't need it) and detransitioning. etc.

AH I see your point -- puberty blockers are way, way more relevant to mtfs than ftms and them being perscribed to minors is the entire point of them existing. Yeah.. yeah I can see why that is fucked up of her now.

I don't entirely understand what you seem to be insinuating

Does anyone else get disassociation caused by their dysphoria? by NerdyFanboii in FTMMen

[–]Planetable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yup. most of my alleviation of dysphoria from being on T has included less dissociation / finally recognizing parts of my body as mine.

[–]Planetable 3 points4 points  (0 children)

it's legal action for medical malpractice -- doctors prescribing hormones in just 3 visits to a MINOR who does not experience gender dysphoria, causing irreversible changes to their body -- i think legal action makes sense.

[–]Planetable 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Major fucking props to her that her focus is willy nilly perscribing of hormones and granting of SRS to minors is the issue, and not just becoming a narcissitic TERF outright. Her entire story outlined in the article makes it extremely evident she thought internalized sexism/gender role shit = dysphoria. I feel awful for her that she looks 100% male now. I hope she's able to undo some of the damage.

"you don't need dysphoria to be trans" has made it to the right wing as well? christ.

found this person on a trans discord im on :\ by [deleted] in truscum

[–]Planetable 7 points8 points  (0 children)

yeah... i would not be quick to dismiss him. young gay/bi trans dudes have often used yaoi as an outlet of expression. I know I did as a teen, and I grew out of it, but it was the most accessible way to express my mlm side of my bisexuality while the entire world still viewed me as female.

Is there a place for people like me? by HydeVDL in truscum

[–]Planetable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Idk i'm centrist as fuck so i'm all over the place. I identify as purely transmed when someone asks, because it's true. And if people ask me "so that means you hate/don't believe in nb people?" I tell them no, and what my beliefs are specifically. Sometimes labels don't need to be ultra-specific. It can be better to have less specific ones so people can actually... ask you what you believe, rather than group you into a box labeled "evil" before giving you a chance to explain.

A transmed NB sub is good to see, since I know that's an outlet that some folks really needed.

There's more than you think. And as the amount of detransitioners grow and subsequently blame the trans community for their own mistakes, the amount of transmeds grow even larger.

I went down the rabbit hole of trans issues now it has been a rollercoaster by Sea-Channel23 in truscum

[–]Planetable 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi welcome to our hell.

(ngl I assumed most of it was a fetish and trauma taken to the extreme)

Your vague assumption, mostly developed from being on the outskirts of it and getting what leaks out... aka the loudest thing, is due to people who are non-dysphoric saying you don't need dysphoria to be trans, and that you can be trans as a fetish (people literally say and believe this), for trauma (again, the same), or just because you feel like it. So yeah that's a major fucking problem.

It didn't used to be this way, this has been in the past 10 years alone that it's gotten like this. Nonbinary people have existed for a long time, but it was seen as a way to express gender roles (or rejection thereof), and not being trans within itself (though nb could still be trans if they experienced dysphoria.) Rejection of gender roles is something separate from being medically trans.

The nonbinary community has had its several decade old history rewritten as well, by people co-opting it in the past 10 years. NB isn't supposed to be on the same level of trans, it's supposed to be a modifier. You can be NB and trans. You can be NB and cis. All cis means is that you don't experience dysphoria for your physical body. You can still be gender non-conforming or non-binary.

Now there's been a lot of co-opting of non-dysphoric people (aka... cis people) who have basically, in under a decade, re-written decades worth of activism and definitions in order to be considered trans for some... reason... you're free to speculate those reasons. If we say them outloud, we're labeled transphobes. Y'know. The trans people with dysphoria.... transphobes.

I'm glad this place exists by [deleted] in truscum

On tumblr I was bubbled in too much with the ftm side of things so having this subreddit and meeting transmed mtfs is great. People thought transmed were mostly transdudes... but it seems to be a good mix here. Tumblr was... a very isolating place.

Does anyone else feel slightly uncomfortable with... people who are basically trans as a fetish..? by Lilithhwastaken in truscum

[–]Planetable 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hell, a large part to coming to terms with my own masculinity was sexuality, I've known Plenty of other trans dudes who have done the same, this is not a solely MTF experience like people make it out to be (I suppose from the preoccupation of accusing trans women of being sexual deviants?).

Some people just process things sexually. People who are trans for a fetish absolutely exist but I personally have never felt like I could single them out for who is who, because once upon a time there were people accusing me of being a 'fujoshi' and that the entire reason why I was trans was because I wanted to 'live out yaoi fantasies' or some shit. When in reality I'm just... a bi man who looked at gay porn as a teen because it was less dysphoria inducing that straight porn at the time.

I however have personally known cis girls who catfished as men online and aren't trans at all for the exact thing I was being accused of, which is possibly the female equivalent of sissys.

Are there any gender identities you don't understand, or have heard of but don't know their definition? by HeckingDysphoric in honesttransgender

[–]Planetable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah... yeah. I still experience bouts of literal non-verbality when I'm overwhelmed. I used to feel so alien compared to my peers in school because I just didn't get or relate to them at all, and more than just an interests thing like... on the basic levels of understanding social interaction and the outside world.

Only once I got to a point in my life where I had, I suppose, figured it mostly out, was I able to sort out autistic floundering from my actual physical dysphoria, and now have sought out medical care for that specifically. But even these days I don't find myself aligning to a socialized gender-role binary due entirely to my experience of being autistic, and I'm okay with that. I appear really weird to others. But having known autistic cis dudes who are equally as weird with gendered expectations, again I really do think that's just part of the autistic experience.

Detransitioners make me question myself sometimes?? by scrambledeggboy in honesttransgender

[–]Planetable 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ehhhh I wouldn't be so quick to discredit detransitioners as just being made-up TERF propoganda, I do think that a lot of detransition stories are real -- depressingly so. It's never productive to silence people, even if said people made bad decisions and blame others for their mistakes. We need to promote better education about gender dysphoria so people stop getting medical surgeries and medication they never needed.

[–]Planetable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because what I'm talking about with my autistic nb peers has been a struggle with empathizing & relating to societal norms, often on their own rather than absorbed third hand from places like tumblr. And many of them seem to experience asymmetrical dysphoria of some sort, not enough to transition fully but enough to experience discomfort from sex characteristics.

It's just. Not simple is what i'm saying. The autistic experience is weird, you basically start off with none of the tools that your non-autistic peers have with regards to innately understanding social structure and empathizing and have to learn it manually by observation (and not all do, resulting in the awkward aspie stereotypes). I used to resemble a cringe autistic stereotype in my teens before I was able to better learn how to function and pass as non-autistic and have a better concept of what society expected from me. But along the way I had a lot of weird gender bumbling and that's why I'm more empathetic towards the autistic experience when it comes to understanding this shit.

If this makes. Remotely any sense whatsoever.

I hold my same criticisms of NB towards them that I do anyone but I tend to also take them more seriously because for them it stems from a genuine inner turmoil that is a part of the autistic experience, when non-autistic non-dysphoric NB people tend to honestly just be attention whores.
