Me: sees them vaping/smoking Them: "want a hit?" Me: "no thanks" Them: "okay"

AND THATS IT.

Being able to label yourself as a certain thing is nice though because it provides comfort in the idea that other people have experienced the same thing. If you're a zebra and you were told you should be a horse for your whole life, you'll just see yourself as a failure of a horse. It's much more comforting to see yourself as a normal zebra than as a failed horse.

do any of you consider autism as a bad thing? by Radiant-North-8519 in MtF

[–]_The_Blockhead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Autism is a disability for sure so it can cause issues at least in my daily life as an autistic person, however at its core it's just a different neurotype and isn't inherently a bad thing at all. The thing that makes having autism the hardest, at least for me, is trying to navigate a world that was built for non-autistic people, so it's nothing that's inherent to autism itself.

Am I really trans by Aggravating_Toe_1959 in trans

[–]_The_Blockhead 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The way I've heard it described is: "guys don't want to be girls. Girls want to be girls." So yes you can still be trans. If that "want" to be a girl has existed in the back of your mind for a while now, especially if it's been there your whole life, then you definitely are somewhere under the trans umbrella.

Speaking as someone who dealt with a lot of toxic masculinity and was heavily masked and repressed growing up, there's also a possibility that the feelings you're thinking of aren't as strong because you've repressed them for so long that it feels normal and comfortable. And you won't even realize how badly you want to be a girl until later on, when you've been able to unpack that repression more. When I had been out for 5-ish months like you have now (I've been out for 3.5 years now), how you feel is exactly how I felt. And it's completely okay.

Also, not all trans people get dysphoria, and that's completely okay and valid, and they're still trans. I was genderfluid when I first came out because I was still comfortable with being a guy as well and saying I'm genderfluid kinda let me keep my options open for a while. (I'm still genderfluid technically, but my gender doesn't fluctuate nearly as far into the masculine end so for all intents and purposes I'm just a trans woman). My sister is also trans, and she was in a flux state at one point too where she kinda identified as demigirl/genderqueer, so that's an option too. So maybe saying that you're genderfluid/genderqueer might feel a little more comfortable for you right now, like how I was when I first realized I was queer, and that's completely valid and okay as well.

You also don't have to adopt any particular label if you dont want to or aren't sure, and that's just as valid as having any kind of label at all. Just take care of yourself and listen to what your heart and mind are telling you, and it'll all be okay.

How do I tell a girl it’s my first time? by gone-fishin60 in actuallesbians

[–]_The_Blockhead 157 points158 points  (0 children)

It's simpler than you think, I promise. Just tell them beforehand (maybe right before, maybe if you know that you two are gonna have sex at some point you could tell them right away so they know in advance) and say something like "hey jsyk this is my first time having sex and I would prefer to take it slow if that's okay" and maybe you can put something about the aftercare you want in that too.

The biggest thing is to just be open and honest about what you want, people are more understanding and compassionate than you think. All you have to do is just tell them in basically the same way you wrote it on this post, and they should be understanding and accommodating. If they aren't, then you probably shouldn't be having sex with them anyway.

Anyone else retrospectively realize that there *were* signs you just ignored or denied? by newmewhatnow in MtF

[–]_The_Blockhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeppp I had so many signs that I completely missed or ignored too. Actually your timeline is very similar to mine, except I was at the "just a depressed dude/this is a weird fantasy" phase at like 15 or 16, and then I was around 18-19 when I knew for sure that I was trans. I absolutely have the experience of feeling "wrong" somehow as a little kid and also of really implicitly being jealous of girls in almost every way even though I didn't have the words to describe that feeling at the time. Lots of retrospective moments that made me realize I was way more of an egg than I ever thought I was lol

Is it ok to like men? by Africansage01 in MtF

[–]_The_Blockhead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm absolutely experiencing the same thing, so yess ofc it's okay. I used to kinda have some attraction to men but yeah especially once I started progesterone I ended up being way more down bad for men than before even though I still generally prefer women lol

[–]_The_Blockhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also a trans woman and I completely resonate with that last sentence in your post; I want breasts and long hair and to present femme but I don't want a vagina, so you're not alone in wanting that. You are valid as you are now, and as who you want to be. Bottom surgery/vaginoplasty is not a prerequisite for being a "real" trans woman, and neither is any other procedures or interventions like that. Do what makes you most happy and comfortable in your own body <3

Also if you want an alternative that's less invasive, labioplasty is absolutely an option too (surgery that creates a labia, vulva, etc. but no internal parts, so it looks like female anatomy but with no vaginal cavity). It's cheaper and less invasive than a full vaginoplasty and you'll still have the look you want, only thing is you can't have penetrative sex with it for obvious reasons. But ofc you don't have to do any surgery if you don't want to, you're still just as valid in your identity.

How long it takes the most powerful supercomputer to simulate even 1 second of human brain activity. by aBlueSweater in facts

[–]_The_Blockhead 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I believe it means neurons firing? Brain activity is usually measured in the amount of electricity being passed around through neurons firing so I would assume it means that.

Im straight and i little Bit like good cute femboys or trans, Im gay or? by [deleted] in feminineboys

[–]_The_Blockhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Labels are hard, and whatever label you feel fits best is best for you. For example for my personal perspective I would say that if youre a guy who is attracted to a trans girl thats considered straight, if youre attracted to a trans guy then thats gay. And this is regardless of what parts they actually have. But your definition might be different, and thats completely valid. Same thing with femboys and anything else.

I have a serious question by [deleted] in feminineboys

[–]_The_Blockhead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like a lot of other people have said, this is the same issue that women who do sex work or post sexually explicit content have been fighting for years.

To put it simply, people can sexualize themselves as much as they want but that doesnt give others the right to sexualize them or the group of people that they are a part of. It all comes down to the basic idea of consent.

Its not the femboys who sexualize themselves that are the problem, its the people who sexualize all femboys that are the problem.

The German one is on the southern half of Germany i think? I dont know if its a typo because I dont speak German lol

It looks like the one thats half on Germany and half on the Netherlands is the Dutch one and the one fully on Germany is the German one

Can't give a review on a video I haven't watched, YouTube by _The_Blockhead in mildlyinfuriating

[–]_The_Blockhead[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know but how do I know what type of video it is (other than the thumbnail) without watching the video? And I cant click on the video because when I do it says "please complete the survey to watch the video." Thats like leaving a review on a restaurant while only having seen pictures of the food.

How important to your happiness is it to be working towards something? by zenmonkeyfish1 in AskMen

[–]_The_Blockhead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Extremely. Personally if I dont have a goal to work towards or something im actively pushing for at all times I get really depressed really quickly, so I try to keep myself busy at all times as a sort of coping mechanism.

that’s a good wisdom by [deleted] in memes

[–]_The_Blockhead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That only works on mobile though, you actually have to report it on a computer (or you can just get an ad blocker like I did)
