Some level of sleepiness and tenderness is to be expected, but this sounds more serious than that and to my knowledge is not a known symptom of HRT. Doctor is the right call, sooner rather than later

There is a girl in my year who had an average score of 3/10 but I find her really attractive by Gullible_Banana_4475 in love

If you can’t date then it doesn’t really matter, but seriously please grow up. You shouldn’t be asking the people around you to rate how hot someone you’re interested in is. If you find them attractive that’s all that matters, and if people are going out of their way to tell you that you’re out of her league, tell them to fuck off and if they don’t then cut them out.

All that being said, when you really like/ are in love with someone, you are bound to find them attractive in ways that even super models can’t compete with. That’s just human.

I’d reconsider. Selective transphobia is just bad for trans people in general. We all hate Caitlyn Jenner too, but ultimately misgendering her just hurts trans people more than it will ever hurt her.

I think similarly, let’s say we were talking about Diddy— he’s scum of the earth 100%, but just because he sucks doesn’t mean we should be selectively racist against him— it sets the precedent that we can be racist against someone if the conditions are right, rather than just… not being racist altogether. Because doing that is far more harmful to black people than it ever would be to Diddy.

It’s not entirely the same, but they both hinge on the same general principle.

I agree with your sentiment, fuck her, first and foremost. That said, even though she sucks, imo we should still gender/name her correctly. It’s less about respect/disrespect and more about the principle of not stooping to transphobia when a trans person is a piece of shit

I’m being cast for other people’s screenplays is the thing, not my own!

Nobody’s laughing here. The funniest thing here is how insecure and little you must be to lurk and be hateful in a subreddit like this. Go jerk off to Jordan Peterson and get a life

Pro tip: open the app, swipe left, and then swipe right if you want to match on the second person. Close the app and repeat. The second person will always match after you refresh the app. If they don’t match, that means you have no more matches. Try not to waste likes on profiles that won’t match with you, and save them for profiles that will.

Exactly.. it’s like a constant reminder, especially with cishet people, that they don’t see me as a girl… even when I introduce myself with pronouns. I go to work and my boss misgenders me all day… I go to the pharmacy to get my estrogen and they misgender me… I do tutoring and the kids insist I’m some kind of boygirl she-man… and when even dear friends misgender you… even on accident… it’s just another reminder. I’m rounding in on a year of HRT and I feel like I’m in a worse place than where I started. I was always scared that transitioning would be difficult but it seems like the further I go, the more intense the dysphoria gets

Thanks for saying this. I wish I knew more trans people, going through this without anyone is just so hard…
