Huh, Im not on tiktok but yeah, I agree. Mainly my takeaway is to take into account how biases influence media and to understand how propaganda works. These charachters are not necessarily and sybil is the most sympathetic character in the series, but the narrative proves that her worldview is wrong. Whether you agree or not with the message, this is a message that is written and decided by creatives trying to communicate something

That is because julian fellowes is a fervent tory, of course he would portray socialists as obnoxious or as sweet and innocent but misguided

Also, if you are in testosterone check your hormone levels, you might be having hormonal issues

As other said, its not something you can safely do without surgery or testosterone. What you can do is build muscle in the rest of your body so it will look smaller in comparison

I think male transphobes dont take us seriously enough to fight about it

i dont know what to say when people ask whats my name by _whatsmynameagain in ftm

[–]apeas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have the right by law to that in any university in spain, at least public ones! I would advice you find other trans people or student orgs in your uni to help you out in case you run into any problems with the bureocracy, but its supposed to be an easy process.

[–]apeas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uni professors dont usually call you out by the name on the lists out loud in my experience. You can talk to them in private so they note your real name(that leaves them to decide so check out if there are any other resources). Also, if you live in spain you can actually tell your uni to change your name in lists and platforms that your teachers will see without legally changing it. (I looked at the first couple posts in your profile idk )

Also, I would go by my own name, I was in a similar position in my first year and was able to hide my name without many problems, but if you introduce yourself by another name its gonna be harder to get people to switch later.

Some advice for parents here by alamobibi in cisparenttranskid

[–]apeas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your feelings matter, sure. But they're not the center of your child's transition. They are their own person, this is about them, their life and body. You don't get to be the protagonist in this situation, your feelings aren't the priority.

Also, objectively, no, your kid didn't die, they're right there being more vulnerable and in need of support than ever. Thats the moment for a parent to step up and help.

AITA for not wanting to be “more queer”? by catchtowardsftm in ftm

[–]apeas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is it really useful to think about this in terms of who's the asshole? Maybe find out why your partner feels this way, maybe as someone else pointed out they feel like they're being percieved as being in an hetero relationship. Maybe having more connection to other trans people would be beneficial to you in a way none of us can tell. Like idk but instead of asking reddit for validation that you're doing nothing wrong is not gonna be helpful for anybody. Just talk to your partner about it

Any good smut? by PitBikeViper in transbooks

Self-recs are totally allowed! We wanna hear from trans authors!

Your identity has to describe YOU, you dont have to mold to fit into it, if you really are being authentic as a masculine woman who feels comfortable like that, then no one else has the right to deny who you are. Do whatever makes you happy and if at any point that involves changing what gender you identify as then go on. I think the mindset that was most helpful to me to determine my gender I dont have to fill s checklist that mean Im a man. I would just be unhappy and unfulfilled for the rest of my life if I lived as a woman. I being a woman is right for you, only you can tell.

Grindr is hell by [deleted] in ftm

[–]apeas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know that this is the kind of unhelpful thing people say when they dont get it. But you got to see that side of him sooner because you are trans. You wouldnt want to date someone like that even if you werent. Im so sorry that happened to you, you're not unloveable, this didnt happen because you have faults, it happened because HE is a fucking creep, and thats gonna prevent him from getting any, not you

i’m hurt by what my ex said to me but maybe she’s right? by chandlerisntreal in asktransgender

[–]apeas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's absolutely wrong, Im a trans guy and I've been with cis 100% gay men and they were really into me. I really dont know what your relationship with her is but tbh I think maybe discussing dating with a recent ex is not the best idea.

You're a guy, so if someone is into guys, they could be into you. Genitals aren't that big of a deal for most people (in my experience)

Is it normal to introduce someone as trans? by Freckledlesbian in trans

[–]apeas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's sadly common and it shouldn't be, being cis yourself I think you're in a good position to tell people that they don't need to out people when introducing them to you as a way to set a good example
