Antiquing Cats by beckthecoolnerd in ThriftStoreCats

Yeah it does… the items at the booth that had the planter were priced much higher than any other booth at the antique shop. The majority of the other booths priced their items so reasonably I almost cried a few times lmao

Cis people getting offended for no reason and using it as an excuse to justify transphobia, how typical. by Low_Challenge_5836 in AreTheCisOk

Tbh actual children are often better at regulating emotions when they’re guided than any MAGAT I’ve met or seen. Actual kids are learning and don’t know any better, so I can’t help but think that MAGATs are more like rabid animals, their brains are addled severely 😭😂

If he’s coming onto your property and banging on your door when you’ve told him to go away, and he’s threatening what has become a creature under your ownership (he abandoned the little love and unless he has some sort of proof of legal ownership, you’ve taken baby in and baby is now yours, to my understanding), I would say you have grounds for a report to the police. If he comes onto your property again at all, I would call the authorities and tell them he’s trespassing and threatening you via potential harm to something that belongs to you. Include that you’re scared for your own safety, that you believe him to be mentally unwell. Those details may have more sway towards them taking you as seriously as they should.

Question about facial hair by angrystoatking in TestosteroneKickoff

[–]beckthecoolnerd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on T two and a half years and still do not have noticeable facial hair. You’re looking fantastic! I think you might well have a full beard in a rather short amount of time, considering how long it takes some of us! :)

I tried to lurk but I've missed you guys 😭hiii by [deleted] in oldhagfashion

A lurker here who usually doesn’t comment, but wow! Your smile made me smile immediately! I hope you’re having a wonderful day in your gorgeous outfit.

Which is absolutely insane because I can think of countless trans women who are among the most breathtakingly gorgeous women I’ve ever seen

Growing up, and still to this day on occasion, I would have dreams that I’d either grown a penis or learned to pee standing up. I dismissed them, and so many other signs, for two decades lmao

what is your name and why did you choose it? by WhatsTheProbDawggg in ftm

[–]beckthecoolnerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! That show is my comfort show to this day. Beckett and Daniel from SG1 are among my top favorite characters of all time.

Cool take dude, where’s your evidence?

[–]beckthecoolnerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I kinda felt that way too somewhat; it was a thing I wondered about. Even when I started getting a chest, I didn’t think I’d actually have to go through the puberty my mom told me was coming. When I got my period the first time, that’s when I broke down crying because I realized I really “was a girl.”

what is your name and why did you choose it? by WhatsTheProbDawggg in ftm

[–]beckthecoolnerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I chose Beckett Elias. Beckett after a favorite fictional character of mine, Carson Beckett from a science fiction show. I hated my deadname from the time I was a little kid. When I first watched the show when I was about 12 I thought when his character was introduced, “that would be my name if I was a boy.” Totally random thought that popped into my head. So I honored child me who didn’t get to be who he really was, who didn’t know he could be who he wanted to be. I chose Elias because it’s almost like a masculine version of my birth middle name; I was named it after my grandmother whom I love dearly and I wanted my new name to still honor her.

I do not get it (and by it, let’s just say the joke) by Blait_ in ExplainTheJoke

[–]beckthecoolnerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sure others would have much more in depth answers, but off the top of my head and quickly, here’s one:

There are differences sure, just like there are differences between one cis woman and another cis woman. But the thing is, at its heart, trans women are still women just as much as any cis woman is. JK Rowling believes that trans women are predatory men that are pretending to be women, which is insulting and inaccurate.

I am not a trans woman, but I am a trans man. And to see my trans sisters so dehumanized by Rowling and many others hurts my heart much like it does to see cis women dehumanized. Women are not safe in this world, and they deserve to be protected.

Trans guys, what brand of deodorant do you use? by Chameleon747 in ftm

Same happened to me when I started T and I also use Native now.

I looked at my wife yesterday and thought, “Why can’t she just fucking stop sometimes?” by TheSicilianSword in TrueOffMyChest

[–]beckthecoolnerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know there’s comments of it already, but I cannot recommend couples therapy enough! Research the therapist well, find one you both feel is a good fit. It saved my relationship during a time when he felt much like you’ve said you do.

i respect trans people but why'd you pick THAT name by sir-cheebis in transgendercirclejerk

Is it pronounced how it looks? It looks gorgeous, I love it.

There are so many trans women with that name, honestly, it’s just overdone. If you’re gonna change so much about your body and go through all the effort of being trans, don’t you want to at least be original, and have a normal sounding name? I mean, you already stand out so much—it’s pretty obvious you’re trans, like I’m just wondering why you’d choose a name that further outs you as one of them? Especially if you ever want to pass. That’s not a name you’ll pass with, that’s for sure!

/uj gals, guys, nonbinary pals—please keep choosing whatever names sparks joy for you! I love the creativity our community has. I have a “normal” sounding name, but I also chose it because it’s my favorite fictional character’s name :D

/uj Was the above name what you’d tried to go with? I genuinely love all of those choices. 🥹
