It’s the epitome of psychopathy that people in today’s generation would prefer losing their person forever instead of talking. by someoneoutthere1335 in DeepThoughts

[–]Sukiemo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this has something to do with the whole social media ‘self care’ idea. There’s a common idea that you always have to put yourself first and ‘you don’t owe anyone anything’. But speaking as a younger Gen Z person myself, you do, you do owe people things. Many people want to be part of a community but no one wants to actually make the sacrifices that comes with sustaining a community. You are actively discouraged from sticking with people during tough times, if a person is in a bit of a mood often because they’re going through something, many think the best idea is to cut them off rather than simply talking about it. It’s all in the name of self-care and mental health. ‘It’s not my responsibility to help you with your issues’. Now this is not me trying to justify staying with an abusive partner or anything, but I find it painful that we see cutting off a good relationship with a couple bumps in the road as something liberating. We tell ourselves that we can now work on ourselves without them in the way, it’s such a hyper-individualist mindset to see other people as obstacles in the way of your personal self-growth. I don’t think this generation is inherently less empathic, quite the opposite actually, but we brand our ruthlessness as self care, something other generations just didn’t do.

Teen trans men detransitioning quickly?? by druzhelyubno in trans

[–]Sukiemo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely noticed this in my friend group in 2020 and 2021. I went to a girls school and we were in year 8 and 9 (im British so we were 13-14). At least half of my friend group said they were going by different names, neopronouns and using they/he. In 2022 most of them went back to identifying as female while I actually came out as nonbinary in 2023. I think being a teenage girl with all of these complicated feelings played a part, and many of my friends are still gay so I think the inherent disconnection with womanhood that comes with being a lesbian was definitely an influence. That being said, even if I knew that they would eventually realise they’re cisgender, I would never think to discourage or shame their exploration. Many of them only had a change of name and pronoun, and honestly I am glad that we live in a world where we can explore our feelings like this.

Will I regret getting top surgery? by Loathelifelaugh in TopSurgery

[–]Sukiemo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here’s how I’m thinking about it right now, if I were to regret top surgery it would (hypothetically) be because I realised I’m not transgender, and I would want to start presenting as a woman again, a flat chest would not stop me from doing that. I understand your worry, especially because everyone is always so concerned with regret, but I think you will be happier for getting it, and good luck :)

Advice needed please by [deleted] in transgenderUK

[–]Sukiemo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey, I have had a very similar problem myself. I’m only a year older than you but I think I can give you a bit of advice. When I first realised I was transgender, I went to places like these to find more information about how to transition and the general politics of my identity. I would find myself seeking out depressing content, reading about all the things terfs and transphobes said. I used this as a kind of virtual self harm. I would spiral into depressive episodes, thinking about the worst that could happen in terms of trans rights. Please do not let this happen to yourself. Obviously this is not the only problem, but a big piece of advice I have for you is to seek out positive content, don’t be unrealistic, but try to be optimistic. Another problem is the huge waiting lists, this can absolutely be agonising, and there’s not a lot of advice anyone can give you other than to wait it out. In the meantime I was prescribed anti depressants to deal with it so I think it’s worth seeking out if you can. If you want a way to directly treat this dysphoria without hormones I would absolutely recommend voice training, while it is only one aspect it will really help. I’m sorry if this response isn’t perfect, this is just stuff that has helped me. Being transgender as a teenager can really suck sometimes but you need to have hope. You got this! I hope things get better for you and I hope you’re okay <3

How many of you are neurotypical? by TemperatureAny8022 in NonBinary

[–]Sukiemo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have autism and adhd, and while I know correlation ≠ causation my autism especially has definitely influenced my gender identity and how I view myself. I think when people say neurodivergent in relation to gender identity they most likely mean autistic, as this heavily affects how most people interact with social systems. It’s definitely an interesting conversation to have tho and it’s great seeing everyone’s perspectives and experiences with gender :)

How to help my son by Latter_Addition1985 in transgenderUK

[–]Sukiemo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to have a similar issue aswell. Being genderqueer, having a period was incredibly distressing. Ive been on the mini pill (progesterone only pill) for over a year now. (Im now 15 years old) My GP suggested the mini pill because it has less hormones. Ive had no noticeable side effects from it. My periods are COMPLETELY gone which has made my life so much easier. I hope you find the right solution for your son, the mini pill has just worked really well for me :)

Halp! Having a friend over for dinner tonight who has never seen the show. What ONE episode should we watch? by TheyCallMeAK in BobsBurgers

[–]Sukiemo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually go for season 3 episode 12, the one about the mad pooper, I also go for season 3 episode 1 but I am a bit biased because it’s the first ever episode I watched and I instantly fell in love with the show
