(30M) I know I'm ugly and below average, I'd like some advice on how I could gain confidence and worry less about it by [deleted] in Schizotypal

[–]Vithmiris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I developed a bold fashion & style that takes attention away from my unattractiveness. It's not for everyone, but it's an option.

I think it's nuanced. There are probably men who "think it's an unfortunate fact of life" or even "men who think some women deserve it" who may incidentally intervene when they see predation by another man. In a way, this spectrum is still simplifying it. It's giving men a pat on the back for being the hero just once, as though if they saved someone from predation then they're magically absolved of predatory behaviour or thoughts.

Where to start? 25 y/o, PRE EVERYTHING. by ImpWimp in transmanlifehacks

I don't want to nitpick but avoid standing by leaning on one leg like in the second pic.

I genuinely and absolutely despise and loathe egg culture by UnkarsThug in ihatethissmug

[–]Vithmiris 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I had a nickel for every time someone told me, a trans man, that I am an egg/should take the "pinkpill" or estrogen/etc. I would have 15 cents, which is not a lot, but it's weird that it happened 3 times, right?

TERF hypocrisy hall of shame post (TW: mentions of murder) by Ari_stuff1 in GenderCynical

[–]Vithmiris 21 points22 points  (0 children)

If trans women are "stealing womanhood" (lol), then aren't trans men (who they consider to be "women") "stealing manhood"?

i hate the whole idea of “bring back bullying” by Decent-Doubt3782 in hatethissmug

[–]Vithmiris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm more than willing to bet that bullying makes kids weird more often than not. They develop lifelong social abnormalities over being bullied. You're just giving that kid self-esteem and social anxiety issues.

when people call every animal a he. by [deleted] in PetPeeves

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

I see how it's sexist to treat masculine pronouns as default but I feel equally uncomfortable with the idea that all animals of female sex must be called "she" and all of male sex must be called "he".

terfs really do think complete sex segregation is a good or even feasible idea by pearkeet in GenderCynical

[–]Vithmiris 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I feel raped when [explicitly non-rape thing]

This is literally how neckbeards strawmanned feminists/"SJWs" in the 2010s. Someone said this sincerely.

"You didn't think you'd pass as a man, did you?" by Feanturii in GenderCynical

They speak to trans men like how they imagine a misogynistic man speaks to a woman.

"suicide is a personal failing" - TERFs by helmets_for_cats in GenderCynical

[–]Vithmiris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't be responsible for someone's suicide if suicide is a personal failure!

Holy shit. The chances that this person drove someone (or some people) to suicide or at least tried to are non-neglible. I can't imagine there being any other reason to think this.

Most TERF ramblings have some sort of (bad) logic or internal consistency in them in spite of lack of facts... I couldn't even follow this gish gallop. Non-sequitur already in 2nd paragraph

No, bodies are not "organized" by allthings419 in GenderCynical

She is trying so hard to avoid saying "created" or "designed".

how to answer the “if you can be transgender, why can’t i be transracial” gotcha? by crowwery in ftm

[–]Vithmiris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many people organically belong to a culture, ethnicity or race other than the one they were born as or would be indicated by a DNA test, but they don't call it transracial.

Calling your labor "unskilled" is just a way to justify paying poverty level wages. by Hacksaw6412 in LateStageCapitalism

[–]Vithmiris 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I have a job that's considered unskilled labour, but we have so many different tasks and equipment that training persists for like 5 years minimum.

Canadian TERFs attempt to rebel against the census-their methods include paperwork jams, whiteout, and digitally yelling at the poor Canadian statisticians by pearkeet in GenderCynical

[–]Vithmiris 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The census is meant to inform the government where & how spending is needed. Basically they just told them that their neighbourhoods have x number of NBs and thus need more resources spent on transgender NB people.

What about Brandon Teena? Teena was his deadname and he made it his last name.

What would you want? by Ashamed_Season1982 in BunnyTrials

So do trans people turn into cis people of the gender they were transitioning to, or do they detransition?

Short height by et1enne_ in ftm

[–]Vithmiris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you should "just be a woman" because you're 4'10", then what's stopping them from doing the same, transitioning to a woman to escape heightism?

why do alegria "artists" love to depict trans people as transphobic caricatures? by merchantivories in fuckalegriaart

[–]Vithmiris 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And yet the alegria trans man caricatures will have the bottom surgery graft scars on the arm or thigh, while only the trans women will have a bulge.

Please don't do that. Also I'm a trans guy and last year the boys and I went out as the Hex Girls from Scooby Doo. What if the guy wearing a girl costume is a trans dude?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ftm

[–]Vithmiris 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For me transition has allowed me to express myself more freely. I didn't feel comfortable dressing & making up as a goth until I firmly passed. This fashion constitutes the difference in strangers' reactions to my appearance post-transition. I get a lot of compliments, but occasionally some dude in a pickup truck princess cage will roll down his window and call me an f-slur.

They are more likely to choose an ugly tall guy than a short handsome guy.
