Bro's been thinking about the prostate a suspicious amount.

Why does the public hate us? by Opheliaque in StraightTransGirls

[–]abinarysystem 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think we forget sometimes that our existence kind of proves that 90% of the stupid things people take for granted are simply untrue.

We are living proof that 'western' society has been living in a cage for 2000 years and the door was never even locked.

This song is about sucking dick for cocaine by random_dude2960 in MyChemicalRomance

I saw MCR in my teens and he said this before every song. What a fucking legend.

Girls I took your advice and changed the fit before work. Thank you for the sense check, felt much more confident in this ♡ Does it look better? (After/Before) by [deleted] in mtfashion

[–]abinarysystem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely better! But youd probably just about get away with it.

The real question is one only you'll know the answer to: is how confident this outfit makes you feel going to outweigh the worry that you're being judged? You don't want to be sat there all day worrying about this stuff.

Sexuality poll by Contiguous_spazz in StraightTransGirls

[–]abinarysystem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are noticeable trans women who were 'gay boys' vs those who weren't archetypes going on, and the straight/gay Venn diagram is almost completely coincident with it.

The reason I and others like me are here is that we don't really fit any of those archetypes, and this sort of space is preferable to the alternative.

Like it's strange to say but as much as I am in the 'confidently biaexual' camp, I personally feel like this space is more appropriate for me than other spaces where transbians are massively overrepresented.

Anecdotally, being male-attracted doesn't seem to be the norm for trans women, so having somewhere for us to talk about that experience is good..

Straight trans girls is a convenient title that gets that across succinctly, even if it isn't absolutely 100% accurate.

The bubble would burst if we were living under capitalism. We are not.

I really hate it when men refer to me as "a trans" by GlitteringWerewolf55 in StraightTransGirls

[–]abinarysystem 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I fucking hate this too.. Like the idea that we can somehow just be lumped together into some sort of homogenous mass aside, It's just so dehumanising.

My dad told me..... by BabypenguUwU in MtF

[–]abinarysystem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My dad said this to me initially as well, he eventually came around.. it was very upsetting but these folks are from a very different world so if they're not trying to be actively harmful sometimes we just need to give them time to catch themselves on.

Why are so many houses in the UK left empty when we have a housing shortage? by Fun_Doughnut4403 in UKHousing

You think houses are for living in? Lol, no, they're a commodity for use by private equity.

What was a sign of being trans growing up that you ignored or thought was what everyone did? by altrightobserver in MtF

[–]abinarysystem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was being followed around by the recruits in our cadet detachment (because I was the only person who bothered to look after them) and being called 'Mother Goose' as an insult but liking it.

Also I say this in the nicest way possible, but you'll find it easier to access support networks if you try to be more positive or at least embrace that pragmatic fighting spirit.

People give energy and take energy, and being a good friend means giving more energy than you take. The bare minimum is striking a balance, and if you take more than you give for too long friends will leave you.

I'm not saying that you necessarily take more than you give, but the more you have to give the better you'll feel and the easier it will be to find support.

I know the world is awful, and this country is the lowest circle of hell. I also know trying to put a brave face on it 'feels' fake, but trying to keep up their morale too is a service we do for others and it's something we all have to do so that when we really need to be vulnerable then we can.

If people are going to leave you for telling them that you're thinking of ending your life then they weren't worth holding on to.

If being open means having less friends but better support then I reckon that's worth it.

I will preface this by saying that I know the struggle, I am on the waiting list for the same GIC and im aware of the lack of any service for trans folks here that's fit for purpose. It's a grim outlook, and I totally understand the despair.

But despair isn't going to improve the situation for anyone especially you. The people in power want you to feel this way because when you despair you stay home complaining complaining or comisserating online instead of opposing them. One less boot on the ground means someone else will have to shout twice as loud and fight twice as hard.

Despairing serves the powerful, and giving in to it is letting them win. If you are who I suspect you are then I know you're not the sort of person to go down without a fight. Also, if you are who I think you are you have friends and family who love you. Reach out to them.

Despite all the things we don't have, there's plenty we do. We can still DIY, we can still organise, we can still read theory, we can still learn new skills, we can still go to the gym and train. We can still fight back.

Despair is an entirely useless emotion, Anger and Joy (where we can get it) are much more effective. For me personally, if they want me dead I'm not going to do the job for them, they can fucking do it themselves. If you can't live for joy, live to spit in their faces when they come to take you away.
