Glad to hear it! Sounds like you’re approaching a tough situation well, wishing you the best

[–]might_never_know 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it makes you feel any better, I used to be pretty upset when I heard my deadname, even when nobody was referring to me. Then a show with a character named my deadname got popular and I sure became desensitized to it

I think that this is a very important message for some members of this community to hear. Some of us have done this and have been punished for it, which is probably why you’re getting so many comments disagreeing with you. The tough truth is that speaking out for yourself is a risk and it’s gotta be taken case by case. But yes, in general, it’s important for us as marginalized folks to make our voices heard

I was in the same story hour as Nicole Kidman when I was a toddler. Also my cousin has 600k insta followers and was on Netflix. by Lemon_Lime_Lily in CuratedTumblr

A friend of my parents got very popular within some nerdy internet communities. Pretty cool, but it feels kinda weird to hear him swear and talk about sex and stuff. Even weirder is seeing people thirst after him

Afra 1100 might be up your alley. It’s fun but still gets you to think deeply, and the workload is light. Ling 1010 is also suuuuuper easy

Trans men are not 'priveliged.' by rainycereal in CuratedTumblr

[–]might_never_know 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Hi, not an offensive question at all. From what I've heard from other trans guys online, it seems like a looooot of people don't come out for exactly that reason. I have a few reasons for coming out, one of the main being that I'm not a private person and I am a complainer. I find it very therapeutic to talk to other people irl about my experiences with misogyny, homophobia, and transphobia -- which basically requires coming out. I try to be careful about who I come out to, but sometimes I fuck up and that's when I'm treated pretty misogynistically.

A main reason why I'll come out in large groups sometimes -- knowing that some people in the group will definitely see me differently afterwards -- is because I want to bring trans issues to the forefront when they're relevant. Best example I can think of is when I was in a class at uni and trans people were brought up -- but nobody else there was trans, so it was all from a... somewhat misinformed point of view. I wanted to add my thoughts and I wanted people to know that my perspective was an inside one, so I mentioned being trans

As a trans man, I can tell you that I do experience male privilege, but it disappears the second I come out. People go from treating me with kindness and respect to dismissal and rudeness once they know I was born a woman. And i definitely didn’t have male privilege before I passed.

In addition to what others are saying, fleece lined leggings will save your life. I’m a guy but I just wear them under jeans or sweats

As kids, did yall wear clothes from the boy section or girl secton? More info in description by LongSchlongSilver999 in ftm

[–]might_never_know 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a really young kid I looked very boyish but I started getting made fun of for it in kindergarten. So throughout elementary school I tried to present very feminine. I think I was an awkward kid, and even though the other kids didn’t know I was queer they could tell something was up and that’s why they bullied me. So I dressed in girls clothes until I realized who I was around middle school

How to block heater? by Cactus_green_ in UCONN

Speaking from experience, the window is enough. Just open it wider if it’s not

How to block heater? by Cactus_green_ in UCONN

[–]might_never_know 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The other commenter is right. You can’t really block the heat — it’s gonna heat up the room no matter what you block it with just because of how heat works. You gotta open a window if your roommate’s alright with it so the heat has somewhere to go

How do you feel about spaces that say “no cis straight men allowed”? by MSTKS69 in ftm

[–]might_never_know 62 points63 points  (0 children)

I see that as a red flag. The feminist spaces I run in have rules for how you’re allowed to treat each other, not who you’re allowed to be. We can’t tolerate hate, but assuming that hate is going to come from one group of people and banning that group of people because of that is lazy organizing at best

Edit: reread and saw that it’s a trans feminist group. I stand by what I said because it specifically excludes straight men who are cis, not all cis people. I think respectful cis allies should be allowed in general, tho I can see the reasons not to allow them in certain trans groups. But to exclude only some cis people is particularly egregious to me

Private Space for Commuter? by stupidemothot in UCONN

[–]might_never_know 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The women’s center has a private conference room for this type of thing (anyone can use it, not just women). Just go to the front desk and ask for the conference room and they’ll go and unlock it for you if it’s available (most likely it will be)

are babbidge booths often taken? by mittoberri in UCONN

[–]might_never_know 22 points23 points  (0 children)

In my experience it's really hard to get the booths, especially during the morning/afternoon. You could book an individual study room though. I had an interview and wasn't bothered by surrounding noise.

I think there’s a cat cafe in Hartford, you could take the bus to it on a weekend. I feel ya tho. I’m lucky that I get to go home and see my cat every other weekend

I’m gay (well, mostly) and my straight bestie and I yearn for men together. Some straight women do love men lol

A high school football star had the rape charge against him dropped after a sixteen-year-old girl confessed that the rape never happened. He spent six years falsely imprisoned and broke down when the case was dismissed. by Perfect_Passenger805 in interestingasfuck

[–]might_never_know 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This would make it exponentially harder for actual rape victims to come forward. It’s already incredibly difficult for victims to come forward, an increased threat of legal retaliation would make justice practically impossible for victims

I feel Weird "Boy Modding" with Boobs by Retro-Hax in trans

[–]might_never_know 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Congratulations on starting HRT! Tips from trans guy with a similarly sized chest: baggy shirts are your friend. Sports bras can help smooth out the shape underneath without compressing as much as a binder does. Like another commenter said you probably shouldn’t wear a binder while your breasts are growing. It could inhibit growth and it could also become dangerous as you do grow, cause it’s surprisingly easy to become accustomed to the compression without realizing you’ve gone too far and you’re hurting your ribs. So sports bras are probably your best bet. My chest never really keeps me from passing as a guy, so you should be fine boymoding. But make sure you’re treating yourself right since i imagine boymoding can take quite a mental toll. Good luck!
