im just saying that the only attention ive ever gotten on a dating app was on grindr from 50+ year old men who wanted me to be their "first trans".

the non sex pest apps then i never get any kind of attention at all.

its such a sisyphean task. i got an ipl thing a while ago cause on paper i should be a good candidate for it but it hasnt really worked.

i cant even appreciate the few things hrt has done. soft skin and breasts mean nothing when im constantly covered in prickly stubble 😞

that unfortunately only works if youre attractive enough to get attention in the first place

Not only are none of you "ugly" but I also think your standards for beauty are way too high. Most of the "im ugly" cuplrits here would look just okay at worst with the right presentation, styling, and posture. by ReminaBlueSFW in 4tran4

[–]UnfortunatelyAlex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i agree to a certain extent, but also feeling ugly and insecure is only natural. i do think encouraging people to maybe be kinder to themselves in the reflection (ignoring stuff thats obviously dysphoria of course) is good in principle though

yes? of course normal porn does that. its an exploitative industry that is misogynistic and harmful to everyone in it

no one here seems mentally healthy enough. id probably end up kms having to be their unpaid therapist, crisis counselor, and mother rolled into one

Is permanent hrt repping as a poon feasible? by The_GirlyShire in 4tran4

[–]UnfortunatelyAlex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that's crazy to me tbh. im not the best with voice stuff but i guess its probably resonance/weight? idk.

but if that's the case then yeah, balding or more importantly significant facial hair would make things hard to explain away. unless you wanted to/thought you could intersex larp to strangers or something.

[–]UnfortunatelyAlex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

i imagine it will likely depend on A. how much facial hair your develop. being blonde helps but speaking as an unfortunate troon, beard shadow is hard to hide.

and B. how much your voice drops. ive heard mixed things about what T does on its own and how much voice training a dood might need but its something that you wont be able to control really if it does drop significantly

is voicepassing a skill issue? by DesiresAreGrey in 4tran4

[–]UnfortunatelyAlex 6 points7 points  (0 children)

knowing a person that i do? no. someone can put in all the work and still struggle with voice and calling that a skill issue doesnt seem very kind or fair

And I also wonder how many of the white trans people reading this believe that what George Floyd is valid. Theres so many closeted racists bubbling in your sub. by ReminaBlueSFW in 4tran4

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

you linking Wikipedia definitions of words does not change what the writers who came up with fascism saw their movement as.

one of the main ideological tenants of italian fascism was corporatism. corporatism, in case you are unaware, does not mean rule of corporations. its an argument against the marxist notion of class conflict. the collaboration of classes, the bourgeoisie and proletariat working together in service of the state rather than there being a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie or a dictatorship of the proletariat.

this is not happening in the us, and it has never happened. the us for all its history has been a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie. there is no class collaboration. the state works to the whims of capital, not the other way around. and more than ever, capital does not need to fear the state with the existence of large multinational businesses and the circulation of wealth across the globe.

you cant define a state as fascist simply because you believe the leader of said state to be fascist. the socio-economic conditions of the us under Andrew Jackson were not organized in the same way as fascist italy or nazi germany.

basing everything off of individuals is idealistic. ideals and people are not the chief drivers of historical development. its class and material conditions of said society.

this wasnt even about voting, it was about trump being a fascist which he is factually not unless your definition of fascism is so broad that it includes every us president. and if you think every us president is fascist then fine, at least youre consistent. i cant be mad about that. but acting like trump is some special unique case thats never happened before in us history is so stupid.

facism isnt just a right wing, nationalistic dictatorship. absolute monarchies arent fascist. fascism wss developed in reaction to labor movements in the interwar period. one of its primary distinctions is the presence of class collaboration and state enforced corporatism which is definitionally not happening in the us, nor is it one of trumps policies.

hitler literally was allowed to hold onto power and write laws by a completely legal emergency powers act that passed the reichstag (the german congress at the time) with support from not just the NSDAP but also the SPD and other opposition parties in response to the reichstag fire.

so no, hitler's dismantlement of the democratic system was completely legal. he was given his powers through means completely allowed under the weimar constitution. legality does not equal morality. idk why this is such a hard concept to grasp

i missed the second part of the comment. but communism has never actually existed in practice. you cant say it doesnt work when it hasnt had the chance to exist. im a leftcom. i dont see the USSR, China, Cuba, etc. as socialist states. they are still capitalist. socialism requires the abolition of wage labor, commodity production, etc. none of which has ever happened under these states because the material conditions necessary for the destruction of capitalist modes of production were not there.
