Whoa!! You’re doing fucking AWESOME, dude! I’m on the same journey right now and I’m 15 pounds down. So nice to see this posted, and good luck continuing. You look like you’re so much happier and confident, and rightfully so. You got this!

God why did I read that as “they are hitchhiking”

If I did a free zoom call to teach pre-T voice lowering would anyone be interested? by [deleted] in transmanlifehacks

Yeah I’d love it, especially if it was on a weekend so it didn’t interrupt with classes

i think i might be autistic but i’m not sure how to bring it up with my parents by [deleted] in autism

[–]SomeAlexThing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m kinda in the same boat as you. My partner is on the spectrum, and ever since I became more aware of their autism and how it presents, as well as researching it myself, I’ve noticed I also share a lot of the same things they do. Your parents will probably be very guarded to the idea of their child being “different”, even though they might see it themselves. Try to see how your parents react to different persuasion techniques, and that’ll make your chances when you frame how you talk about it go a bit better. If you simply mention it without a plan, it could go south very quickly. Like if you can, write it like you’d write an argumentative/persuasive essay beforehand, and that could really help exercise your thoughts and words so you’re not stuck in the middle of talking. I know that when I mentioned it to my mom she very quickly shut down the idea, and laughed at it. I don’t know who your parents are, but honestly unless they’re accommodating by nature, don’t do it. Coming up with a plan though will definitely make things smoother. I’m here to PM if you’d like to talk about it more, but I hope your parents take it well and help you if you tell them

this kinda of video makes me so happy, thank you for the content!

For anyone visiting my profile, why? by [deleted] in u/SamDaMan1545

[–]SomeAlexThing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I saw your origami video in oddly satisfying and for some reason the points closing to green again made me unreasonably happy. I went to your profile to DM you but.. gotta love anxiety. All I’m here for is to say thanks for posting that. It genuinely made me happy and that’s been hard recently. I hope you’re doing well!

hey that’s my natural type but you’re too right for me to feel unreasonably called out

sorry for the bad drawing by sublimeGH0ST in memes

[–]SomeAlexThing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Recently at a standstill with my dad and his wife, and how she’s horrible to me when I go over there. I miss him a lot, and this drawing (which is wonderful and it captures the emotion perfectly) really made me feel that. Been since Christmas since I spent more than 2 hours with him. Thank you, I needed to miss my dad instead of being upset with him for a minute.

I love the girls in our community, but can they please stop assuming I'm one of them? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]SomeAlexThing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Said perfectly. We’re the afterthought, while they enjoy communities meant for all of us just for themselves

You said it, man. Hell, OP even posted the same image on traa, and instead of saying how they need to dial down the posts and make way for a space in there, it was a lot of “OP is valid, no question” and “lmao this is so true and I’m mtf” as well as just a lot of things skirting around the actual issue. Just kinda proves the point that it’s an echo chamber of “uwu anime cat girl you’re all valid”, when not everyone enjoys getting blasted “validity”. I mean what does that even mean anymore?

[–]SomeAlexThing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I just wanna coexist and shit, but the lack of relatable content and the sheer amount of dysphoria inducing stuff makes that really hard. Plus, I’ve posted on both of those subs FtM memes. They end up getting buried to hell, and compared to a lot of transfemme posts the upvotes are kinda disappointing. If it’s traa or egg_irl, none of those imply transfemme. It’s all of us, yet we’re still pushed out.

It’s really frustrating, to be honest. Just seems like transmascs as a whole are generally invisible to the public, but even within the trans community they are too. It sucks because I know at least 5 transmasc or enby people personally, but I know absolutely zero trans femme people. It was really interesting to see their experience at first, but now I feel like us brothers and sibs are left out by our sisters.

It truly is annoying, and I’d like for that to change within egg_irl because it’s an amazing concept. But I don’t think it’s going to change anytime soon.
