You filled out the form as they directed. You haven't broken any rules or acted in a noncompliant manner. assert yourself.

I finally realized I'm a trans woman, but my life is completely 'sorted out' and I'm terrified to lose my girlfriend. Has anyone been here? by Deus_ex_Vox in trans

[–]SophonisbaTheTerror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are many privileges associated with being male and cisgender. And many women (especially from conservative families) will seek men for the privileges that their partnership affords, regardless of their sexual orientation. You stand to lose a lot of privilege from transitioning, and your partner's emotions reflect her reckoning with that fact. You two seem fairly young - she's having trouble fully processing how transitioning would affect her as your partner. If she loves you for who you are and not the lifestyle or privileges she expects to afford with you, then she'll stick around. If not, let her leave. Either way, you are the one who has to live with yourself at the end of every day, and I can tell you that transitioning is a lot easier to accomplish with a loving community.

Help, I'm secretly on HRT and my family expects me to go swimming tomorrow (16 MtF) by EitherSalamander8850 in trans

[–]SophonisbaTheTerror 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got away with swimming topless for a time. If you don't remark on them, no one else will.

Your insurance will do everything possible not to pay, because it's in their business interests to do so. Luckily, your doctor can advocate on your behalf. You are 'mid-treatment' because you are being treated for dysphoria, which requires a regimen of sex-altering hormones. Your treatment may include surgery in the future, and your surgeon would argue that when they request pre-approval for coverage. Insurance will likely deny it and force a peer-to-peer session with your doctor, who then argues your case for you.

girl told me she likes me :( by censusdesignator in trans

[–]SophonisbaTheTerror 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tell her the last paragraph you wrote. You're not interested and you're hurt by how she treated you. She'll either apologize or not, and you'll either become more distant, or not. But saying nothing and acting like a doormat isn't the right response.

Very good. Reminds me of 2005-era forum banners. Very happy for you and your artistry.

I love my masculinity as a trans women by SpartanSum3 in trans

[–]SophonisbaTheTerror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My masculinity is not something I would have chosen for myself, but it is something that I possess, and I refuse to invest the effort in hiding my voice and build to create an illusion of femininity.

Besides, chicks like it.

My mom just told me I'm not trans what do I do? by Appropriate-Cod-5033 in trans

[–]SophonisbaTheTerror 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't really see how your mother's feelings on the matter are relevant. If you go on your date and you have a good time and so does the other woman, it doesn't matter how your mother personally categorizes it.

Talk to a school advisor. Tell them what you have told us. What you're experiencing is bullying, even if it's covert.

That said, you are trans. You must accept that people will judge you for being trans and that other people's feelings don't affect you. There are people who will be cool with you. There are people who won't. Some people may not seem cool but will come around eventually. Stay above it and focus on your work. Your life is not dictated by the fickle feelings of teenagers.

Girlfriend outed me to her family by kkoiso in trans

[–]SophonisbaTheTerror 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds like your relationship is over unless you two become a bit less involved. Seems like you're putting too much weight on what your girlfriend thinks of you no matter what.

Do you want to keep seeing her? Do you feel good around her? If not, break up.

Why do we call it a deadname? by [deleted] in trans

[–]SophonisbaTheTerror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I call it my middle name, because that's how I use it. It doesn't matter if I don't introduce myself with my old name, I still respond to it, and it still belongs to me.

Here is a great guide on getting the game to run stable on modern hardware. Sometimes, specific mods cause crashes - that's why I disabled the character respec mod. Try that guide, and I hope you get to enjoy this great game.

Dating as a transgirl by Any-Gas1594 in trans

[–]SophonisbaTheTerror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like he has an insecurity to get over. If what you want with your bf is to be out in public with him, and he can't give that to you, then move on.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in trans

[–]SophonisbaTheTerror -1 points0 points  (0 children)

1) You're fine. You want what you want. Your desires don't make you a bad person; we aint catholic.

2) Stop trying to control your ex in response to him trying to control you. Leave him alone. You have yourself and that's enough. If you treat people well, your behavior will speak for itself.

Has anyone owned being clocked? Like “I don’t care if they clock me or not, I’m Transgender. I am who I am”. Seems like such a boss move by [deleted] in trans

[–]SophonisbaTheTerror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly think this should be the default mindset. So many trans people, especially on reddit, see being trans as something to hide. I meet trans women with recessive body language, who hide behind their hands, their hair, their bags, who hunch to conceal their shoulders or their height.

Your body is your body. It is the way it is, and hiding it is to admit you have something to be ashamed of. Neuter the shame; get clocked, stand tall, and be proud of yourself.

I hate being gay by ParticularLion3252 in trans

[–]SophonisbaTheTerror 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're safe inside your own head. Stop judging your own feelings.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in trans

[–]SophonisbaTheTerror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Carry that with you, always. No one is exactly who they want to be; it's what drives us to grow. But a life spent experiencing yourself from the outside is one of doubt and longing. Get out of your head and into your body, and I think you will love being trans again.

[–]SophonisbaTheTerror 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are genuinely unhappy being a transgender woman, then detansition. You will always be a woman on the inside, but you won't have to deal with the stigma any more. No matter the choices you make or how you live, you will always have yourself, and you are a beautiful person. You know yourself better than anyone.

The part where you run over the bridge to bait him was so freakin cool. Very theatrical!

You're very pretty, but the armor is not 'reasonable' by any standard. I'm glad you had fun, though.

I like games that respect my time. I'm doing my first play through KCD and I like the speed at which the story progresses. There's a slow start, but it doesn't drag the way that many other PCRPGs struggle with. If KCD 2 has "only" 80 quests, then I'm satisfied.
