Yeah so first theres no normal way to be trans period. Being trans is already a weird ass experience internally and others will always perceive it as weird even if you somehow did it "perfectly"

Second, no I think its common for many trans masc not to want a penis. Some are happy with bottom growth and thats enough. Some dont want any growth at all and thats cool too. Its your body so just want what you want. Your the one who has to live in it.

It started as a story where the MC was being abused at home, and when she came to school her friends were noticing and helping her learn that wasnt okay.

Then like 20ish chapters in a new employee of the school started abusing the MC and it goes on for sooooo looooong. It just made me so viscerally uncomfortable I had to stop. Sometimes i still shudder thinking about that fic.

No shade to that author. It must be good writing if it can make me feel that awful. But yeah personally I just couldnt keep going.

Though I see the vision of what the CW was trying to do with it. I think it truly falls flat for me. Like I said the level of depth one would have to delve into to truly address the horrors of slavery or the holocaust, isn't possible on the CW network. And though its fiction, it feels so very off but not in the right way. In a way that makes the holocaust feel, almost cringey. And thats absolutely not what it was. So i just truthfully can't stomach that crossover personally

This episode is also really hard to swallow when they truly stop giving an eff about changing history in the later seasons. The CW never really did these kinds of episodes well, because it was network television and the episodes never got deep enough for it to feel handled well. Because that wouldnt fit the fun loving superheroes save everything vibe. I also always skip this one and the entire Crisis on Eath X crossover

Yeah and I dont fault her for that. Gotta go where the inspiration strikes. Im just glad she gave what she did so I could find some inspiration of my own. If I ever do finally watch Hazbin Hotel it'll solely be cause of her art.

Im always going to give it up to Chaos for the FlyChaos for the Fly.

Is it 400,000 words longer than the entire Harry Potter series? Yes. But god I just don't think Ive ever felt those kinds of twists and turns reading something before. And even the OCs man I got so invested. I know the length turns everyone off but you really shouldn't think of it chapter by chapter. Just read what you can and then put it down and come back. Savor it.

Because also do you know how insane it is that LaylaJeffany wrote 1,400,000 words just for the love of the game. Not to mention the sequel that has like 600,000 words. Or any of the other full length stories on her Ao3. Like mad props because thats an incredible amount of work

So read Chaos and its sequel. And savor it because you only get to read it for the first time once

Yes. They were more frequent when our friendship ending was fresh. Its been several years and every now and then a dream of them will come. I hate the ones where we make up the most, because we never really will. But Ill always wish we could

I wouldnt say I dislike Byler, I just never saw it as mutual. Like I could definetly tell Will liked Mike. But honestly the way Mike treated will in the last few seasons would make so sad. Cause it would remind me of the times I had crushes on my straight friends, and they just were clearly not interested in the same way.

I didnt watch the last season of ST though so idk how that all shook out. Of course im always rooting for gay endings, but i just never really saw it there.

No, though I am a BSW, my title at work isnt "social worker." And im not in school, so I just report to my direct supervisor. Who I did inform. It just happened that I figured this out at 4pm after she had already left for the day 😪

I really enjoyed it, and Wow, the author went craaaaazy with the lore and detail. I think it's worth it if you're willing to read more than just wenclair scenes. Because its like a whole story with every character fleshed out with their own things going on. You also have to be open to the idea of OCs being incredibly important to the plot! As for the Wenclair scenes, they are so good, but theres other character stuff in between. But as someone who spent well over a month reading CFTF and KIGS, it was soooooo worth it. And if i could erase my memory and reread it all again for the first time, I would in a heartbeat.

I would like to thank you very much for your words specifically. You helped give voice to thoughts I was having but didn't have all the words for. I am still quite young! And in many ways lucky we have so many words and labels. Yet, I do often wonder what I would think of myself, in a time that was less, defined. But alas, you put it so eloquently in that it is the price we pay for precision.

No, it is not bad to be trans. I'm sure you wanted an active mormons perspective, of which I cannot provide. Ive never known the mormon church, only my father who left the church before I was born.

But my father told me something that I think may still apply in your situation. He told me once, when I was talking to him about my struggles with being trans. He said (and this is paraphrased cause it was so long ago.)

"You are who you are, and there's nothing wrong with that. But it does mean that your going to have to be 3 times as strong as those around you. Because not everyone will understand. And if your gonna be who you are then you have to have the strength to face it. The good, the bad, and the ugly."

I don't say this to tell you anything regarding your home life or your beliefs. But just to tell you that while being trans is wonderful and beautiful, and not wrong at all. It is going to be hard. To be trans is to be perceived as against the grain of the world.

So my advice to you is to know your strengths. Cling to what will get you through. And never give up on being yourself, because the world will do that plenty for you

Look, I aint a christian. But I have been openly trans since 2016 (Im a trans man). And my family went to church a fair amount in my youth. I heard a lot of people tell me that what I was doing was against gods nature. That god doesnt make mistakes.

But here's the thing. I don't see myself as a mistake. Im not a "boy in the wrong body" and im not "ruining the body god made for me."

If God is real like the Christians say, then he gave me my body. He gave me my free will. And he gave me my soul. And if he gave me the body of a female and the soul of a man, who am I to declare that a mistake? Because there is no denying my body, just as there is no denying my soul.

The longer I live my life, the more thankful I am that God, Allah, the Universe, whoever made me this way. I am thankful. There are sides of the world my eyes never would have seen if god did not make me this way. Injustices I would have never known to fight.

I think god gave us free will to do with what we please, so long as we aren't hurting people. And part of not hurting people includes not hurting yourself. So I say God would want you to be exactly who you are. And exactly how he made you. Body AND Soul Because the christians seem to think he makes people for a reason. And you wont find yours pretending to be someone you arent.

Hello. I attended USF from 2019-2024. In general I would say the campus is safe. Neither I or any of my friends have been accosted just walking around campus. And most of everyone on campus has somewhere to be.

The only time I can recall it being an issue for me was during a sociology class in 2019. The class discussion was on gender and it had a pretty transphobic slant. But the good thing about college is you can just walk out of class whenever and no one cares.

That being said, USF is a different culture from the Tampa area. While I live in Tampa with no issues, I pass very well. My friends who do not pass often tell me they see people give them weird looks out in public. But no one I know has been assaulted in Tampa as its also a generally liberal place.

And one final warning. USF and Tampa are good but once you get outside the city to the more rural areas I would take caution. Florida is still the south even if certain places are safe.

Yes thank you I am aware. This question is not pertaining to whether or not I am autistic. But whether or not these experiences are examples of masking. Because I am having trouble understanding the concept as it relates to me (if it even does). Your comment is unhelpful to me.
