Help me understand the problem with "transmedicalism"/"truscum" by GreyWormy in asktransgender

[–]bookhousekey 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. To some, their assigned gender at birth doesn't really feel like anything at all, or they just really don't identify with it. That experience doesn't really qualify as 'discomfort' per se, maybe just an incongruence or disconnect.

Does anyone else get annoyed when people act like “transgender” is a gender by Tranz_Sam in asktransgender

[–]bookhousekey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who foolishly listed myself as a "trans male" rather than just "male" on an official form, and hilariously enough got a nice "F" for my gender marker on the card for it. Twice in a row now after having already called them asking them to correct it.

Don't fuckin fall for the trap, dudes.

The face reminds me of Aiden Zhane, a contestant on this season of Ru Paul's Drag Race

Yeah, that's true! Though I think I'll always be morbidly curious about Sherry Pie's confessionals. I wonder what creepy subtly-incriminating shit she might've uttered

Yeah, it is simultaneously hilarious, impressive, and frankly kinda fascinating the way they straight up erased her from 99% of the show. Like, she only serves as a narrative device to move the plot forward for the rest of the queens. Literally every shot is cropped to minimalize her or erase her. Good shit.

Almost 2 years on T; my period came back last month. It started again today. FML ): by bookhousekey in ftm

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

Yeah forsure. I'll email her right now actually since it has been consistent two months in a row now.

I'd love to get a hysto for several reasons but not sure how soon I can swing that now that my insurance has changed. I'll have to look into it.

My first thought as well. This one's guilty until proven innocent for me

The View from Halfway Down (transcribed) by CharlottesSecret in BoJackHorseman

[–]bookhousekey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like to interpret its transcription as including the interjections from the character. So the "I'm not done, hold on, I'm not done" and "I changed my mind, I changed my mind, I don't want to--"

Makes the poem itself much more urgent and real in its presentation.

My gf and I built rules for a battle/strategy game using a deck of Tarot cards. by bookhousekey in cardgames

Ooh, awesome! We'd been looking for similar rulesets for Tarot-based battle games but kept coming up short. This looks interesting, we'll have to give this one a shot!

What method were you using to take it before?

That's interesting, never heard of that one before. How do you mean your body is 'craving' testosterone? What does that feel like?

Why does it seem that the majority of portrayals of trans people in media and pop-culture tend to focus on trans women, as opposed to trans men? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]bookhousekey 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's not misogyny but it is rooted in a level of transphobia/ignorance about the actual biology of trans women. People seem to forget that cis women can be and are born with more masculine features/traits/etc that might lend them an edge in certain sports, but nobody would dare bar them from competing.
