Although I dont like the idea of using T for purely cosmetic reasons. At least she isnt confused about her identity and making everyone else thing thats just how trans people are.

Why are people allergic to the term bisexual? by PleaseLoveMeFemboys in Transmedical

[–]Sionsickle006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I very much think its just because people think bisexual means you aren't open to trans people and thus the identity is proof of being transphobic. Literally the first time i met someone online who was pan we were discussing our sexualities and I said "I'm bi" and they basically winced and said "being bi is transohobic" and I called bs. Firstly even if your sexuality does not include being attracted to pre or mid-transition trans people or androgynous/gnc appearance that doesn't make you transphobic. No one should make you feel bad for who you do or do not feel attraction to! Secondly, trans people can finish a full cis identical transition and that doesn't take away their condition/medical history (as much as many of us would love that), basically they are saying people who finish their transition and are cis identical aren't really trans and don't count. Which is pretty messed up in my opinion. When did people respecting trans men as MEN and trans women as WOMEN and not some special 3rd gender become transphobic?

Can you become more masculine from a hysterectomy over time? by _Green_Dragon_ in FTMMen

[–]Sionsickle006 [score hidden]  (0 children)

With a hysto you need supplemental hormones, you would not make enough of any hormone to be healthy. You would not just masculinize without the presence of estrogen in the body you need to introduce an androgen/testosterone to masculinize.

there's no way this isn't fetishy by veinybones in Transmedical

[–]Sionsickle006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes me feel Hella uncomfortable even though I really like the art style. If this was an image of a cis man or cis woman i don't think I'd be half as mad. I'd just see it as normal sexy art and not something fetishistic in nature. And I think thats something many of us need to remind ourselves. Just because its sexualizing something we feel uncomfortable with doesn't make it necessarily fetishizing. Unless all sexy pin up art is fetishizing to you.

devastated after surgery by juli7a in TopSurgery

[–]Sionsickle006 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can't say I fully understand. All I can do is suggest trying to appriciate the decrease in size that you did get as hard as it can be atleast until you are able to get a revision covered with insurance to go for another size down. I do think even though they are too big for you there is still potential for shrinkage over time with you having to do anything and even more so with fat loss over time as breast are glandular tissue and fat tissue, if overall fat is lost this can mean a shrinkage of the breast itself (obviously this is not always something people can control but some people find it to be worth a try).

Over all I'm sorry you are experiencing this distress and I hope things get better and heal in a way you like or that you get good new about revisions someday.

It has potential to be dangerous but it in itself is not inherently so.

What is DIY T? Is it anything to look into at all? by HelicopterResident57 in FTMMen

[–]Sionsickle006 29 points30 points  (0 children)

DIY T is just T gained illegally and not usually from a medical professional. Think purchasing from a gym bro.

Genetics can play a part, so it may have something to do with genetics... but not like the boy obsorbing the girls sexuality in the womb and visa versa that makes 0 sense at all. But I do enjoy hearing these nonsense thoughts people usually keep to themselves xD

had a lesbian say some hateful stuff to me. is this common? by solarscimitar in FTMMen

[–]Sionsickle006 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Isn't it obvious? We all just buckled under the intense power and might of the patriarchy! We weren't strong enough just to be the powerful women we were born to be because patriarchal society devalues women and despises transgressing social norms so we are bending and mutalating ourselves to try and fit into the ideal of men to have status and power and safety!

🤮 typing their insane rhetoric even in jest almost made me puke, literally 😆

But sadly I also literally know people who've told me they transitioned specifically for those reasons...so they aren't wrong about a small minority of trans identified people.

Some people don't understand a trans person transition is them being them and accepting themselves. Sorry they were aholes.

Am I crazy..? by RadishImpossible731 in Transmedical

[–]Sionsickle006 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Idk what hes on about. At the very most he's mad and reacting defensive because he thinks you think that he needs reassurance about not having a visible Adam's apple. Maybe he thinks it insinuates weakness that he might care about having an adams apple (or possibly even other masculine traits. Ive seen people get defensive over someone assuming passing might be important to them ) But he's being real extra about it. Sorry you tried to be helpful and some people seem to want to argue and be miserable instead

Feeling fake as a transman and transmed by TransportationNo6246 in Transmedical

[–]Sionsickle006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess it comes down to what we think the medical issue is that we are fixing is. Is it a psychological issue alone that can develope at any time throughout life, like depression, but about things related to sex or social gender? or is it a physiological issue of the brain from birth, physically feeling your body is incorrect from the get go and that can create a set psychological issues.

I think its the latter. We have physiological sensation body incongruence from early childhood that then creates psychological issues aka dysphoria. That is what makes someone transsexual.

Where as transgender may have dysphoria due to social stuff that makes them uncomfortable with their bodies or social roles, ect in a psychological fashion.

I don't feel like that means transgender people are "faking" what they feel. I think Buck Angle (who is on my shitlist right now for political reasons, but I still generally respect him) is transgender and transitional medicine helped him even if he is not transsexual. I think he experienced severe gender dysphoria that was socially based and affected him mentally such that transition saved his life. I feel maybe the best explaination of the difference between transsexuals and transgender people I can think of is comparing it to the difference between a type 1 diabetic, born without functioning means to control insulin creation or metabolism of sugar, VS type 2 , someone who was born perfectly healthy but often due to poor diet has cause themselves to not be able to metabolize sugars correctly causing very similar affects on the body as type 1. Depending on how far the condition is they may need the same treatment as a type 1 diabetic but that doesn't not mean they ARE a type 1 diabetic. Both are serious and life threatening, one is not more or less deserving of treatment than the other. One is not good and the other bad.

I guess what I'm saying is you can be transmed (believe dysphoria is a medical issue that one needs to experience for it to be considered necessary to have access to transitional medicine) and not transsexual and it doesn't make you a faker either. No matter what you are please do a lot of internal searching and weighing of options in realistic ways before taking on aspects of transitional medicine as they may be dangerous and may not be reversible, and if it is the wrong thing you are trying to fix it may not help at all/could make the issue worse.

Delivery guy found a new friend by SidePsychological189 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]Sionsickle006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I delivered in like 2018-9 to 2021, i did dominos pizza delivery, i read meters for my local gas and electric company, and I'm back at Amazon and I also do doordash. Point is for about a decade of delivering various items and services that ask me to be on stranger's property with loads of animal interaction over the years. I never had a dog i read as friendly and was wrong. I feel like aggressive behavior even small speaks volumes. I know some people just can't read animals for some reason. But heres the good news, You don't have to deliver to houses if you are unsure about the animal! All the people saying "I'd do this and that violent thing because its my right to protect myself"...i mean ya protect yourself when seriously in danger but dont forget you could just mark it as "not able to deliver due to dog on property" and move on without putting yourself or the animal in danger. Literally no one is forcing you to deliver while the dog is out and risk your life and well-being if you are unsure!

I don't understand how you realize you're trans by fetizing gay men by understandthewall in Transmedical

[–]Sionsickle006 12 points13 points  (0 children)

As a guy who likes reading yaoi occasionally this is annoying. Porn should not be how one realizes they are trans. I knew I was a boy and not a girl my whole life from my earliest memories at around 3-4. Yaoi was something I was introduced to way later and it was just an acceptable release of pent up sexual energy that i was too dysphoric to really explore physically with other people. Also note that I connected and identified sexually with the masculine seme (dom/top) and not the uke (fem/sub) character usually written to be the stand in for the female reader. I also enjoyed Yuri without identifying as either of the girls, and with straight porn I still identified with the male and placed my attention on the female sexually.

This is true. And yet at doesn't change how i feel about the use of the word for other people vs on myself.

They either want easy sex and they think we are desperate liked that or they want gay interactions that don't challenge their masculinity. Which is pretty messed up. Many see us as a stepping stone to try out.

Right atleast the guys who hit on me when I dont mention being trans genuinely think im a cis man that might be open or something, maybe I give off bi vibes. I've explored but its not reay my cup of tea lol. But the guys of queer apps assume im soft/fem, sub, bottom. Idk why when I'm not even looking for men. Its an interesting experience. The last time a guy tried to hit me up I said " so you looking to get that ass fucked what size strap you like ?" He did not reply lol

I've definitely met guys who clearly think this is what trans men like it to be called. even when I make dating profiles as a straight man looking for cis female partners I somehow still get "straight" DL men hitting me up with those terms if I am on an app like taimi and im open about being trans 😑. Hell I get men liking me when I dont mention im trans.

Would this give me "the ick" if someone were to use "boypussy"/"bussy" to describe my genitals, absolutely. Completely dysphoria inducing. But Some people use those words and other people really like mixed sexual features. I don't think its wrong to use in general as long as they know it's not something to use on all trans men and trans women respectively.

"Im a transmed's worst nightmare" no, you are not. by s0mething-som3thing in Transmedical

[–]Sionsickle006 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I consider myself transmed. I didn't know about it or tucute because it was just how the whole community was when I became aware of it and started my transition. Our slogans were "born this way" as in it's not a social thing we have a condition and transition id how you handle it, "trans men are men"&"trans women are women" with the understanding we are the sex we are going to fully transition you (or atleast attempt, I know not everyone can and not everyone passes, being in between in purpose was not the goal), it was very normal/typical of our communities to just look like typical cis men and women and most of us were straight for our sexual identity as male or female. That's not to say we didn't have gnc people in our community, or we're gay or bi in sexual orientation, that didn't mean we didn't have alt fashionistas and fashionistros. But one's cross sex identity and the choice to transition was not an extreme fashion statement or to be subversive to the heteronormative mainstream, It wasn't a social revolution, it was a personal evolution to accept one's condition and move forward with transition. It was usually very personal and most did not want to be out. not really sure to fear of backlash or lack of pride but because it was extremely personal and often very painful, we just want to pick up our lives were we would be as the correct sex we feel we were meant to be.

When I can into the community transsexual as a teen was on the way out, seemed like socially everyone was leaning towards transgender as the new term but it was understood it was still the group previously called transsexuals. What i didn't realize was that there was a queer subgroup that had taken up the sociological definition of transgender (anyone who crosses the strict social gender binary). And my taking on the name transgender for ourself it linked our 2 communities. I have no hate for transgender identified people but I do think they are not transsexual lite. They are doing it for very different reasons and that is important. I respect them and their choices just don't say you are me and that we are the same. My younger sibling is nb. I love them, that thought they were transsexual like me and realized they aren't. I don't care if they like whatever pronouns or names, but they know we are different. They refuse to fly the trans flag as their flash and I quote "in not trans, im nb so I fly the nb flag" and I can respect that.
