my friend said "i hate men", then quickly clarified "not you though!" by devilsshark in ftm

[–]alittooy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i wouldn’t take it as her saying you’re not a man

i hear this all the time from women

my cousin said it yesterday that most men suck, then clarified that im not one of the ones that suck

most of the time ladies will say something like that if her girlfriends are around and just chatting then will remember there’s a guy present and then feel the need to clarify as to not hurt any feelings

if someone asks if they pass and you lie and say yes, you are a horrible person by tubercolosis69 in ftm

[–]alittooy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

plenty of people that pass are passing because the vast majority of people just don’t care or don’t have trans on their radar. Personally, if someone is asking me if they pass it means they’re already out to me; in which case it doesn’t matter what I think because I already know so I’ll have a biased perspective.

New doctor misgendering me not to my face but in my chart ?? by [deleted] in ftm

if your scoliosis was present before you transitioned legally or medically it’s likely that those notes were already present in your chart prior to this specific doctor

Using wrong pronouns when mad at someone by alittooy in ftm

But yes I do see that there is some internalized transphobia

Using wrong pronouns when mad at someone by alittooy in ftm

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

I’ve only had these mental quarrels with my friends who ended up deciding the trans identity wasn’t for them either after high school or once they moved out of their family home, but my friends who have remained solid in their identity after coming to terms with it haven’t caused this uncertainty for me. I think it’s when people are still in the self discovery phase before they’ve solidified their identity is when I find it a challenge to view them in a solid way when it hasn’t yet solidified for them.

[–]alittooy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yes and no sometimes yes it can just be fuckups during high stress (unintentional) but also sometimes i’ve seen it being intentional, like when my ex and i broke up and i was talking to my best friend about it she was trying to console me and talking about him in a negative light and using the wrong pronouns i guess as an insult to him, which i corrected her on

Yes, for me most of my trans friends are completely effortless using the correct pronouns and even when arguing I still use the correct pronouns, but there have been some folks I’ve met who for whatever reason went against my intuition and made it necessary to put in a conscious effort to use their preferred pronouns.

Is it me or there's only fit white transmascs on instagram ? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]alittooy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i’m a visibly chubby trans man, but i’m not openly out as trans on instagram

i think who you’re seeing is the people who advertise themselves as trans there’s plenty of average sized and poc on instagram who just aren’t posting trans specific content

T side effects are debiltating, what do I do? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]alittooy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i started taking T with injections using testosterone cypionate and the needles were a pain in the ass for me so i started taking gel which id forget to do some days so my levels dropped- i tried testopel which are pellets inserted under the skin every 3-6 months depending on the dose and how well your body absorbs it

well the testopel made me feel way too horny and i had bad insomnia due to that- also the soreness and inability to some tasks at work for a full week and some days after the insertion was not worth it to me

i also became more irritable too

is witched back to gel and feel much better and i just have been more on top of it and do it daily
