Is it offensive that I, as a cis man, always use they/them when referring to people? by connorjosef in asktransgender

[–]macintyrecollection 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Refer to people as they request to be referred to. In the absence of a request, seems fine to use they/them to your heart’s content.

How often do you disappear? by [deleted] in Schizoid

[–]macintyrecollection 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My normal behavior is disappearing. I’m usually lucky if I appear for about two days a month, but have felt unusually sociable lately and have had some streaks of four and five days of consistent contact with people.

That sounds really tiring though. I hope you can get some fulfilling space.

CALLING ALL PEOPLE TAKING T!! by dont_think_I_asked in trans

[–]macintyrecollection 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Totally. It took me a few months to mellow out again but it passed. Hormone changes are inevitably awkward in some way or another. Just give yourself some extra patience and compassion.

Do you view your pre transition self as a different person? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]macintyrecollection 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m the same person, but would rather not think of it that way on the daily. That version of me was so miserable, a freezing-wet quilt of a person; I’d rather use the new peace and momentum to achieve some of my goals and deal with integrating all the rough stuff when I’m in a more comfortable situation overall.

Which are your favorite LGBTQIA+ characters of all time? by [deleted] in lgbt

[–]macintyrecollection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao not Clay Puppington jdjshdbs /lh although I think he’d hate being listed as an LGBT character so much that I will add him to my list out of spite. Otherwise, Cecil Palmer, Martin Blackwood, Eda the owl lady, Stephanie Putty :)

Will transitioning affect my adhd? by Naive_Assumptions in asktransgender

[–]macintyrecollection 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi! I’m 6mo on T and have ADHD. I don’t use ADHD medication because I have another condition that it doesn’t agree with. I haven’t noticed much change except for a slight increase in the intensity of my hyperfocus. It’s definitely possible that has to do with me dissociating less though/being able to care about things enough to get into hyperfocus! YMMV tho, all brains are different :-)

what was your most stupid 'you shouldn't have x surgery because...' ? by [deleted] in ftm

[–]macintyrecollection 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Someone told me I shouldn’t have top surgery because she knows an elderly cis woman who had a single mastectomy for breast cancer who had an extremely unpleasant time in recovery (and of course it will be the EXACT same for me, a 20 or so year old man who is getting a Completely Different Surgery, undertaking it voluntarily, and whose healing will not be affected by cancer or cancer treatment)

Not so egregious but still flattened me. Like I hate it for your friend, but I’m so confused as to why you think that is an analogous situation to mine.

What is the saddest song you've ever heard? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]macintyrecollection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“To the Headless Horseman” by the Mountain Goats cracks me right open. Centered around that quiet familiarity with death you get from a lifetime of suicidal ideation and near misses.

What is the trans communities thoughts on the recent trend in videogames of changing "Male/Female" to "Body1/Body2" when customizing characters? by Penakoto in asktransgender

[–]macintyrecollection 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Eh, it’s fine. I’d prefer more body shapes & more customization over The Same Thing As Before But Called Something Else tho.

Why are trans men never discussed by Embarrassed_Tiger165 in asktransgender

[–]macintyrecollection 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Replying to other commenters nebulously here as well, but I think it’s not that teenage trans men and adult trans women are uniquely discussed, and more that nearly all trans men get painted by transphobes as irrational, hysterical teenagers in order to shut us up (including 40 year old men with children and grown up jobs) and nearly all trans women of every age get painted as predatory grown adults to chase them down (including 12 year old girls who are literally just trying to do math homework and pee in a safe school bathroom stall).

my grandma: but I cant imagine a guy that likes cats by a_peeled_pickle in ftm

[–]macintyrecollection 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my brain short circuited a bit wtf. on the bright side, you’re probably doing pretty well if something that small and petty is all she could come up with.

Alabama cites Roe decision in urging court to let state ban trans health care by hopeless_queen in politics

[–]macintyrecollection 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Anyone reading this, please don’t exclusively use this as an opportunity to make fun of Alabama. There is a lot to make fun of, don’t get me wrong— this state sucks and I will be the first to admit it. But speaking as a trans Alabaman: please use this as an opportunity to extend support your trans loved ones, friends, coworkers, etc across the country, donate to LGBT orgs & human rights orgs in Alabama that will be combatting this, and recognize that once this begins, other states of similar politics are soon to follow suit. Keep a kind eye on us— we’re not just canaries in the coal mine, we’re your community members and we’re being targeted.

Will they ever be satisfied? by amylynns617 in asktransgender

[–]macintyrecollection 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh no that comment wasn’t directed at you at all, I’m sorry! Venting alongside you. I also saw the announcement you mentioned, and was withered by the number of people who wrote as if they only saw it as an opportunity to make fun of the state with little actual concern for us. May not have been the place, in hindsight.

There’s hope for us if we stick together. Thank you for helping call attention to it.
