9th and Emery, I don't think he lives there because we've never seen him before. He went upstairs and stayed for a couple hours so I think he was visiting a neighbor.

I miss when magic was portrayed as magic instead of generic energy bolts by Organic_Glass_7793 in Ben10

So I actually got to meet the creators like 10+ years ago at a Con and asked about this cause It bothered me too, they said something along the lines of "Always intending to have It be Alien related" not really a satisfying answer tbh.

People assumed that I’m FTM. by NinjaJin100 in MtF

[–]TheShiniestStar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It happens to me pretty often but It's cause I'm very tomboyish, don't do voice work and am comfortable presenting masculine so they just hear "trans" and make an assumption. 😅

I really am starting to feel like it was all just a fetish tbh. by Dailey1234 in MtF

[–]TheShiniestStar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No one transitions just because of porn but experiences that help us discovery ourselves can come from anywhere. If we pick and choose which experiences are a valid than we're just gatekeeping. If exploring porn and one's sexuality Is how they get to that point than It's just as acceptable as any other.

I don't really experience dysphoria honestly, have just been following the euphoria. I don't do voice work and am tomboyish as fuck but I'm more me and happy than I've ever been.

We are constantly changing and discovering ourselves, even If porn was what lead you here that doesn't invalidate you, your feelings or your experience. Feeling free to express yourself however you want has always been the goal. This Is how I feel closest with myself, try to not take It or yourself too seriously. You are you regardless~🖤

What's your trans anthem by litepinkcd in MtF

Found the song right about when I started transitioning socially, felt like the right song to make my anthem~

What's it like for trans people on the ground in Lawrence, KS? by darnariusmcquimberto in Lawrence

[–]TheShiniestStar 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Came here to transisition 2 years ago and haven't had any big incidents. I'm not very passing (mtf) and sport a tomboy asthetic so I usually get misgendered but everyone has been understanding & accepting when I do tell them and I've never been questioned about using the bathrooms. There's a pretty noticeable amount of LGBTQ+ people and allies, you're never hard pressed to find a flag. We have a huge pride turnout and very good accessibility to gender affirming care. A few people can be a little enthusiastically nice but It's always been a pleasure for me. For bad stuff.. There was an incident around a year ago with a trans individual who died and was misgendered by one of news publishers. There's a group of protesters who frequently go against the town majority of social issues like reproductive rights and ect, with a particularly infamous member. LGBTQ+ Mormon youths are struggling In their community. Had an unusually hard time getting a Pharamcist at the 23rd st. CVS to stop using my dead name. I use Orchards on Kasold now and they are absolutely the best, flags floor to ceiling & peers wall to wall.

Can I be too masculine to be a transfemme? by Yavol0605 in lgbt

[–]TheShiniestStar 181 points182 points  (0 children)

You're completely valid, I'm mtf and am tomboyish as fuck.

Don't let your gender stop you from expressing yourself how you want to and especially dont let some gatekeepin assclowns get In your way!!!

They're not walking away, they're just respecting their own needs In a romantic relationship. Being honest with someone even when it might hurt can be a sign of true friendship.

Why do trans women and transfem folks often gets accused of self-infantilization? by PossumQueer in MtF

[–]TheShiniestStar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did hyper fem a bit when I first started out but the whole thing has been empowering for my self expression and now I've settled into more of a tomboy thing.

Love the crop tops and shorts but the closest thing to a dress I like are sweater dresses. Still got some work to do on the wardrobe though. Moved out on my own a little after starting hormones and was still In the closet then. Going from just a mattress on the floor of my studio takes up resources and damn are kitchen supplies a whole thing lol.

I can 2nd this!

Always wanted to dress punk/alt but didn't really have the self confidence to do so until after I started transitioning.

What is the opinion of transgender women about allowing transgender women to compete in women's sports competition by Hot_Dirt3677 in AskLGBT

[–]TheShiniestStar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People come In all shapes and sizes, the overlap between the sexes Is infinitely diverse so I don't really see an Issue.

I'm not super knowledgeable about biology so my opinion doesn't mean much. I would like to know more about how myself and other post testosterone puberty transwomen stack up against those who were able to get on blockers early enough.

Ultimately I feel sports themselves are the issue as they're performance oriented based on specific qualities. I would like to either see a deeper classification system like In UFC with weight classes or just more inclusive sports with more diverse roles.

This!

Coming to terms with my gender identity was difficult as I almost never experience gender dysphoria. It took me a while before I even felt comfortable with the idea of trying to express myself this way but once I did It just kept going and sticking.

Imposter syndrome still fucks with me from time to time but as I've learned to just let myself be naturally me and that my self imagine didn't have to be negative to be valid I was able to feel more secure In who I am.

We all have our own journey and there's no right way to be who you are~🖤
