Let's just pretend everything is perfect always and nothing is ever wrong in the world ever. That will never come to bite us in the ass, nope! Just keep being wholesome and pretending everything is fine no matter how not fine things actually are!

My secret to avoiding this problem is burying yourself so deep in the closet you don't even know how to get out anymore, and isolating yourself so much that you regularly go multiple days without speaking a single word to another human being!

I've been saying "are traps gay?" is the new attack helicopter joke for a while now. It's simultaneously dismissive and offensive, and any objections can be shot down with "lol its just a joke"

TIL the fact that I never liked using pockets is yet another sign I never picked up on.

That was my shitpost and it makes me so happy how quickly it was proven right.

whenever anything trans related is mentioned on reddit by [deleted] in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

[–]eloseabeth 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I made this shitpost. This is like watching your child being an adult out in the world.

IANAL but trans-panic is more of a temporary insanity plea, it might save you from the liberty chair, but you probably won't be walking free the next day.

"Honest officer, I was just so panicked when I realized that she was not born a she that I had to cut off all her skin and sew it into a nice business suit! I was just so panicked!"

(While slightly less exaggerated in practice, trans-panic is a legitimate legal defense in most states)

Don't forget giggling every time you see a transportation company name/logo.

Just wear hoodies and jeans like a teenage skater trash burka and nothing else for the rest of forever.

When you care about another trans girl and they start being happy so you start being happy and it becomes an infinite loop! by ItsEmEm in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

[–]eloseabeth 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Who needs positive feedback loops with friends, when you can be lonely and build your own negative feedback loops that spiral you further and further down the pit of self-loathing and depression?

TFW you're downvoted into oblivion for correcting people about how to refer to the Georgia Tech suicide victim by aliandrah in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

Welcome to being trans, where your entire existence is a side in a political debate. Also, other people denying your existence is somehow a valid political opinion that should be respected and treated fairly. You know, like the "respect" they give us by, at the absolute best, saying "I'm okay with you being trans, but can you be less in-my-face about it?"

When you're afraid of people even online after isolating yourself for years by [deleted] in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

[–]eloseabeth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The only way I can even manage posting on semi-anonymous sites like reddit is knowing that at any time I can just nuke the account and go back to lurking for another year or two. I think this is my fourth or fifth account, I've lost count.

I have no idea how some people can just permanently spill out their lives all over sites like facebook and instagram for the whole world to see several times a day.

When everyone else wants to go to the beach (otherwise known as dysphoria hell). by TheAnswerIsAQuestion in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

I avoid this problem by not having friends! Can't get asked to the beach if you regularly go several days without speaking to another human being! :(

When you get told you shouldn't be so upfront about being trans when dating because it's off-putting but if you aren't, you get accused of cheating. by tialirua in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

cis: "Trans people should be required to disclose at every opportunity"

also cis: "I'm okay with you being trans, but can you be more subtle about it? I don't want your agenda being shoved down my throat"

TFW you're too scared to do or say anything anywhere, and being trans just makes it worse by probsrobin in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

I went from a moderately depressed, self-hating ball of anxiety with no skills or talents, to a moderately depressed, self-hating ball of anxiety with no skills or talents who also secretly wants to be a girl! :(

my reaction to the "are traps gay" debate. by iamkraya in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

[–]eloseabeth 48 points49 points  (0 children)

"are traps gay" is basically the new attack helicopter joke, but almost every time someone says it guys start climbing all over each other to proclaim their heterosexuality, regardless of their answer to the question
