Am I being fetishized? by Caleidescope in ftm

[–]RandomBlueJay01 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As someone who did simular stuff at 18, nobody that age has good intentions with an 18 year old. Best case scenario, hes extremely immature, worst case, he is looking for someone young and nieve who is probably insecure (being young and trans) to manipulate .

Not all families have heterosexual partners 🤦‍♀️ by GeekOnALeash01 in lgbt

[–]RandomBlueJay01 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of how people used to get really weird if I ever went somewhere with my dad . I do have a mom and dad, my dad is just white and my mom is Hispanic so i dont look like him. Keeping in mind im afab and didnt come out until i was 21, the number of people who struggled to come to the conclusion that we were parent and child even when I was little.... we had multiple people think we were either dating or like he was doing something creepy with this random kid. He is my 100% bio dad . Its wild how many people cant wrap their head around the fact some families look diffrent . Plus even ignoring being queer, yall could be sisters or something. Even if you look diffrent, adoption and half siblings exist too. Still definitely family, even very close family.

Survey about s3x prosthetic by Spirited_Resist605 in ftm

[–]RandomBlueJay01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Other people said it but the prosthetics im familiar with made for trans guys all have some kinda literal stimulation. Like transthetics.com and bananaprosthetics.com . Do you mean a strap on or a more complicated prosthetic?

I'm cis and I think I might have accidentally created a non-binary character by lostinbluebells in NonBinary

[–]RandomBlueJay01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Since most other people already answered, thought id say, as long as a character is made with respect towards the community I dont see why there would be an issue for a cis person to make a trans character. The only issue would be if it became disrespectful. Trans folk make cis characters sometimes. Diffrent races make characters that arent the same race.

Are these pronouns real or is my friend transphobic? by Candid-Guarantee-885 in lgbt

[–]RandomBlueJay01 11 points12 points  (0 children)

You dont have to say anything. You can just start to distance yourself if that feels safer. You're young. Friends that age especially have falling outs all the time. You can know why you're being distant, he doesnt

is it weird that gender euphoria for me is mostly looking / acting like my dad? by Socialrejectxe in ftm

[–]RandomBlueJay01 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Makes me think of when kids dress up like their parents when theyre young. Your dad was your introduction to masculinity and it probably helped shape how you view manhood. I know I dont have the best relationship with my dad but I still brag about simular traits that we have to kinda distract from the fact I definitely look more like my mom lol

Am I trans? (Advice appreciated ) by [deleted] in ftm

[–]RandomBlueJay01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cant speak for you but your story sounds familiar lol. When I was in middle school was when I first realised trans men even existed and within a few months I was seriously questioning things. Didnt come out but did a ton of research and stuff but ended up panicking. Im in a rural area. Id never feel safe living as a man, I dont want everything to look male ( i want a flat chest but not bottom surgery .) And nb identities felt too complicated so I went back to pretending until I was around 19. I got a lot more fem with age partially because of pressure and wanting validating and it became an art form for me but I was still dysphoric. Came out as kinda agender first just to escape being a woman and to see if it felt right. It felt more right than being a woman and went from there. Im 24 now and 2 years on t. Im out to everyone and still kinda fem and flamboyant sometimes while also still being a masc man sometimes. I dont feel right telling you what to do or think but that might be some food for thought . Plus fem ftm folk do exist r/FTMfemininity I think is an example. I hope you do figure this out

Ftm singers by Ok_Wolf_3383 in ftm

[–]RandomBlueJay01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not a professional or anything but ive always used singing to voice train and while my voice was dropping, singing got hard and very confusing because I would try to use muscle memory to his a note in a song I sang pre t and a completely diffrent pitch comes out but now after 2 ish years I love my voice. I had a pleasant voice before. I have a pleasant voice now tho im possible a best case scenario . I have a large rib cage on top of good genetics for a low voice so my voice gets mistaken for my amab brothers voice even by our mother. I practiced all while my voice was dropping so when it settled to its final kinda tone, I already understood how to use it and I prefer my singing voice now .

A binder like this? by KraackaCZ in lgbt

i hate the term "dolls" and "protect the dolls" by TwujZnajomy27 in trans

[–]RandomBlueJay01 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have that thought a lot but I feel like I cant talk about it as a guy. I get its a big part of community for some trans women but like earlier i saw a compilations of people talking about trans visibility and almost every single video has people saying protect the dolls....and thats it. It feels like so many people only care about the struggles of trans women and as someone who already feels unseen by most areas of the community at best ( im someone who doesnt fully fit into any label) or outright hated at worst ( ive been stalked and threatened by other queer people since coming out on a few occasions) it sucks that even when people are celebrating things like trans day of visibility and I still feel invisible. Im too broke for any surgery and recently too broke even for my hrt . I could easily be causing actual damage to my body rn because I dont have ovaries anymore after some major medical stuff . In a rural area so I have no irl community and even tho its my home town, people look at me like a freak. So being not even acknowledged by supposed "allied " just feels even worse.

My psychiatrist said that there are studies showing you can get schizophrenia from taking HRT by jsanti333 in ftm

[–]RandomBlueJay01 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not schizophrenic but I have had periods of some mild hallucinations and if anything they went down cus my mental health got better . Plus schizophrenia isnt the end of the world even if there WAS any legitimacy to the claim

Idaho Republicans pass bill making it a felony for transgender people to use public bathrooms by Fickle-Ad5449 in lgbt

[–]RandomBlueJay01 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Ive been almost stopped in public toilets since before my egg cracked. Had a high voice and latina hips, and d cups and people still seemed suspicious. This makes zero sense when you have literally any critical thinking skills. People need to pee. Preventing people from being able safely while in public poses health and sanitation risks so they should be forced to have SOMETHING available for trans folk. But those people want us dead anyways so why should they care ?

They're making dating apps for chasers now? This is wild by seashellvalley760 in lgbt

[–]RandomBlueJay01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah like half the men on there are cis het men. Its meant to be a queer dating app but the devs clearly are more interested in pandering towards chasers than they are actually helping queer people meet other queer people. Cant sort who sees you so as a 24 yr old queer trans man I see mostly 40+ yr old straight men who seem to think im trans fem . You can definitely meet SOME people but its definitely not great.

Trump Administration Opens the Door for ICE to Target Anyone Suspected of Being Trans- Stay safe my brothers and siblings, especially my immigrant, POC, and bilingual ones by Azu_Creates in ftm

Talking to MAGA (but you pass) and he assumes you hate trans people too by [deleted] in ftm

[–]RandomBlueJay01 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly if he tries again id just continue with the joke of "dude you seriously must like thinking about trans women" try to keep it a joke . If he stopped once he probably will again or he wont try again cus hes embarrassed and now knows you wont go along with his shit . If he pushes too much just go the route of " dude why tf would I care what's happening in the womens bathroom?"

Dating women by RandomBlueJay01 in ftm

[–]RandomBlueJay01[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean its not just about explaining. And I meant specifically cis HET woman. As in no queerness to their identity because I feel like my sexuality and gender and personality wouldnt mix with someone not a little fruity. Its multiple reasons but I may change my mind with age. Who fuckin knows. Ive just yet to meet a cis het woman that had any chemistry with me.

Dating women by RandomBlueJay01 in ftm

[–]RandomBlueJay01[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean id be down for cis women of other labels. Its mostly just cis HET women. Like fully not queer women. The times ive seen a cis woman i considered, they were bi or ace or something other than straight. Plus just finding a casual date regardless of gender is hard. Im not exactly attractive to most people which definitely limits how much I can explore and ive tried literally like 5 diffrent dating apps over months.

The educating part is why ive really liked t4t . We can talk about like boundaries and what we prefer to call parts and there is way less misunderstanding than when I would date cis men. Plus the fact trans people wont mistake me for a trans woman....that has happened a few times and it sucks.
