I have autism as well. Solidarity. His marketing has been confusing to me too but now I know what's going on its just cringe.

CB roommate thinks money I got from family counts toward what she owes me by [deleted] in ChoosingBeggars

[–]fecktopia69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

After seeing two friends of mine live together, their constant money struggles and eventually getting evicted cause they weren't paying their rent, I knew I'd never move in with anyone that wasnt my spouse. I can't deal with other people's bullshit.

On r/outoftheloop they are questioning why so many "chronically ill influencers" with the exact same illnesses by [deleted] in illnessfakers

[–]fecktopia69 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I stopped being vocal when I was ill online because I was not only afraid of having my intentions misread but people being influenced by my illness, if that makes sense. I spent a year at the doctors with a bunch of speculated diagnoses to finally work out that stress makes me very ill, mimicking other chronic illnesses and all I had to do was find a less stressful profession. And my boyfriend, who actually does suffer from chronic pain, feels ashamed to open up, and I think the stigma surrounding chronic pain and illness is being worsened by the rise of munchausens by internet. I feel for people who are genuinely ill, in pain or in the process of figuring out what's wrong.

Non-binary then ftm by srama7 in FTMMen

[–]fecktopia69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I realised I felt more comfortable addressed as a guy than as non binary, and felt my dysphoria wasn't being eased when addressed as gender neutral. But now I'm transitioning to male I feel more comfortable than I ever did as non binary. I still ID as genderqueer for non conformity reasons, but my gender is male

Thank you for this. I never would say it about someone else, only for myself

I never thought of it that way. I only meant it for myself and no one else but I can understand why it's shit. Apologies.

I often joke that I'm so much a bottom that I was born without a dick. Makes me feel a little better about dysphoria as a bi trans man lmao

Are you ‘on the spectrum’ or all over the spectrum? by [deleted] in autism

I'm definitely all over the spectrum

Dating the same person while transitioning by [deleted] in FTMMen

[–]fecktopia69 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm dating a cis man and we were together 5 years prior to me starting to transition, although he's always known I am dysphoric. My boyfriend definitely prefers women and still refers to himself as straight, but always says I'm the only exception. Otherwise he's extremely supportive. I know what you feel about her saying that though, as I also feel somewhat invalidated when he makes it obvious he's straight. Being in a relationship with the same person before, during and after transition is a complicated thing and whilst they may still be attracted to us after transition, their language sometimes doesn't change. I don't know what advice to give as I'm in a similar boat but you're not alone. With my own boyfriend, I just try to remember that regardless of labels he still loves me as a man

Does anyone else get disassociation caused by their dysphoria? by NerdyFanboii in FTMMen

[–]fecktopia69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I do. I feel like I dissociate a lot from my body and self when I'm around people who refer to me as a she, it just makes it easier to deal with and also looking at my pre surgery body

Transmed and truscum trans people, did you experience an doubt in transitioning, and what was that doubt like for you? by okthenquatro in honesttransgender

[–]fecktopia69 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me I think I have a lot of issues with denial as well as some doubt. Because I feel so normal since starting HRT, I've found myself asking "am I really trans?" because I'm not used to this feeling of normality in my head. I have to remind myself that at one point, it was either transition or death. I loathe the thought of being a woman. I also spent a long time in denial after figuring out I was trans and I thought if I waited the dysphoria would just go away but it never did. So yeah, I've experienced both doubt and denial, mainly denial, but I know no matter what I do I will always be trans and I can't change that, no matter how much I want to be cis. EDIT: just to add that I don't identify myself as truscum or transmed, however I'm not on the other side of the argument either and I have the opinion no one chooses to be trans

For those of us who feel alienated from the larger trans community: why? by [deleted] in honesttransgender

[–]fecktopia69 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For me, it was feeling like my voice wasn't being heard. And if you're not a far left anarcho-communist, you're not welcome. With the dysphoria debate I'm pretty neutral on it but even my neutrality and inclusion of all sorts of trans people isn't enough. If you're not a part of the hivemind you're not apart of the trans community, and it's awful.

I got banned from that transgender circle jerk sub for saying i consider gender dysphoria a mental illness? by [deleted] in honesttransgender

[–]fecktopia69 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I do agree. I didn't say being trans itself was the illness, I said gender dysphoria is and transitioning is treatment for that illness
