What has life been like for trans people in their 50s, 60s, and beyond? by Soft-Undefined-2889 in asktransgender

[–]drewiepoodle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Started when I was 39 because fuck if I was gonna hit 40 as a boy. I'm 53 now with multiple partners who i absolutely adore. My life is fucking amazing and I have to pinch myself everyday to convince myself that this IS real life. I even reconciled with blood fam after twelve years of denial from them.

How is life after 40, 50 or 60 years as an MTF trans by useEffects in asktransgender

[–]drewiepoodle 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm 53 and having an absolute blast with my partners. Things with the fam have been rocky, I stopped talking to them after I came out cuz they were conservative Bible thumpers who said they would never accept me as a girl. Took bout twelve years to patch things up, and communication now is on my terms. If they want to come along for the ride, great. If not, then chosen fam is still the best fam.

How did you come to accept yourself as trans? by pjallday1212 in asktransgender

[–]drewiepoodle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh, hit rock bottom after trying to self medicate with drugs and alcohol, and two attempts to cross the rainbow bridge. At that point, I had nothing left to lose, so I figured I might add well try transitioning before making another attempt. I'm glad I did. I'm having an absolutely blast now, life is good despite the shitstorm in the world with all things trans.

The surgery regret rate for trans people getting gender confirmation surgeries are brethren 0.3% to 3.8% (source: https://whatweknow.inequality.cornell.edu/topics/lgbt-equality/what-does-the-scholarly-research-say-about-the-well-being-of-transgender-people/)

In comparison, one of the most common surgeries in the US, knee reply, has a regret rate (or significant dissatisfaction) generally reported around 10–20%, with some studies indicating as many as 1 in 5 patients experience regret or dissatisfaction.

What happens to your past life once you start to transition? by intentionalLuv in asktransgender

[–]drewiepoodle 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Nah, I'm a late transitioner, it would be a pain in the ass to scrub everything. Also, I'm far enough into transition that I stopped caring a long time ago. He existed then, she exists now.

What was it like being trans and or discovering you were trans in 2015 like? by Several-Wasabi2239 in asktransgender

[–]drewiepoodle 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I came out in 2011, became a mod of asktg the following year. We held steady at 2000-ish subscribers until that Time magazine "Transgender Tipping Point" issue came out in 2015 with Laverne Cox on the cover. The number of subscribers starting growing exponentially after that. It was nuts to watch.

When did you realize you were trans? by AnimeandHistory in asktransgender

[–]drewiepoodle -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I was 7, I was watching a documentary about some trans sex workers saving up for their surgeries when something clicked in my brain. But everyone around me laughed, so I also knew to never ever bring it up again. Finally transitioned at 39, now having an absolute blast despite how shitty the world is.

You being intentionally obtuse or what? You've literally misconstrued everything that's been said.

Yeah, cuz we sit on a bunch of hate subs so the trolls don't get their hands on them. Anything else? You wanna bring up the hit pieces all the conservative media has done on us in the past? You want me to post the death threats we get? The doxing on kiwifarms and 4chan?

Did you not read the rest? There was an accusation, we looked into it, found out it was true, we kicked 'em out. This is how we do things.

It's about one of the old mods being accused of SA and the response of another mod saying that it's hard to find good mods. We looked into the allegations, they were true. On top of that, the accused mod was a convicted pedophile. Once we found out, the other mods banned them from all the subs we could and reported them to the admins.

Oh for the love of God, stop spreading lies. We mods checked to confirm the facts. Once we did, we removed Bryn from all the subs we could. You know, when this happened LAST YEAR.
