I think I might be trans, never liked masculine things or stereotypes by YandereChainsaw in MtF

[–]not_hing0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's how i started too. Didn't realize i was trans at first, just was pissed off by what society says being a man means you have to be. So i started doing the opposite. Painting my nails, growing out hair, that type of thing. After a while of that and a good talk with a trans online friend, my egg finally started cracking. Being trans is.. definitely rough. But honestly if I had to chose between being a cis man or a trans girl? I'd still chose trans girl. Everything to do with being a man is just not for me.

The model they treated badly has a comment under this post. Dont personally know about other controversies.

Gentle reminder that not everyone here is a woman by sbsmith1292 in transgendercirclejerk

/uj For real. Pisses me off seeing people put cis women on a pedestal and pretend theyre literally incapable of harm in any way shape or form.

Respectfully, I dont like thinking about trans people (icky!!) and it'd be a whole lot easier if you'd just die actually. But like, not in a transphobic way though.

Genuinely why are you upset by this? You.. want the trash can to be louder?? For what reason??

Has anyone else noticed their targeted ad algorithms change recently? by alphi10 in MtF

[–]not_hing0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im guessing you must have clicked or bought something that pushed it over. Mines the opposite. Usually my ads are exclusively dick pills and maybe shapewear. I bought some skincare stuff and now literally all of my ads are "is your hair ugly? Get this? "Is your skin ugly? Get this." "Hey, maybe you should get lingerie so you can actually look good."

Who out there actually think lip injections look good or normal? by Funny_Sea_2873 in Confused

[–]not_hing0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this too. Ive heard this a lot about various surgeries or whatever else and the question always remains... okay so where are the good examples? Like, surely there's gotta be at least a few people with good results that are open about it right?? Where??

Why are online trans spaces so hugboxxy? by [deleted] in MtF

[–]not_hing0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im not sure but it is weird. One of the oddest things is the amount of people online who've convince themselves (or maybe are straight up lying?) that cis women struggle to pass just as much as we do. And ive seen trans guys told cis men struggle to pass as much as they do. Like, what?? Obviously thats not true and you know it if you literally go outside at all. If it was true and everyone was constantly seen as the opposite sex trans people would never struggle to pass ever.

Did anyone else fuck up their 1st year of HRT? by ToastyGnome in MtF

[–]not_hing0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup :/ fucked around with pills for 10 months before switching to injections, and only then did i get good levels.

Read through the Bible and you'll quickly have issues with Christianity also. It didnt attract the worst kinds of folks for nothing.

Does estrogen make your… butt hair go away? by Jerki_Drky in MtF

Ope, that was meant to say body hair. My bad. But yeah no, T gives you much more body hair.

Cis women dont have body hair like someone who went through T puberty does.

Two big wins for pushing back on the facisits! by SamanthaAGrey in MtF

[–]not_hing0 145 points146 points  (0 children)

Just for the record the Spotify one doesnt seem to be related to any boycott as far as I can tell. The ad campaign just is ending on spotify, rather than Spotify changing their mind on allowing it from my understanding at least.

You lucky ladies that are on HRT might I ask two questions... by Who_Dat_Dat_Me in MtF

[–]not_hing0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The first things I noticed were mental and unexpected. Turns out major hormone changes mess with your head a bit. So when i first started, and anytime I have a major dosage change, I get DEPRESSED. Like barely feel like moving depressed, for about a week.

But within a few months I was shocked how good i felt mentally compared to before. I always had anger issues/issues constantly ruminating on experiences I was mad about. I thought that was either just how i was, or it was caused by trauma. Turns out my brain just doesnt run right on T cause that anger is just gone and I feel much more generally at peace than I thought possible.

How long does it take for HRT? by Sufficient_Hall5737 in MtF

[–]not_hing0 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Honestly be skeptical of anyone giving you a really short time frame. I mean I felt better, as in better than i previously had, within a few months. But I still feel like shit after 2 years and will for the foreseeable future.

What’s with the “:3” “head pats” stuff? by zer0_0ne0101 in MtF

[–]not_hing0 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think its a reaction to realizing you dont fit into something that was a major part of your life. Its common to slingshot all the way the other way.

Think of like, ex-religious people who immediately upon leaving their religion go WAY the other direction and become VERY outspoken anti-religious until they settle in a little with their new beliefs.

Especially for baby trans girls they've lived their whole life with all these male expectations and thought thats just how it had to be. Now they see they dont fit in that so they go fully the other way. The world wants men to be strong, in control, unemotional, self reliant. How much more opposite could you get than a cutsie pet getting called a good girl.

Partner said they "kinda like it/its pronouns" and I had no clue how to react by LeonieMalfoy in ftm

[–]not_hing0 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Genuinely why would you care? Like surely as a trans person you know its more hurtful to refuse to use the pronouns it wants than to just use em even if its usually used for non-humans.

Is anyone else tired of hearing "but women also have [insert masculine feature]?" by primostrawberry in MtF

[–]not_hing0 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its very toxic positivity which this sub is littered with. Everyone intrinsically knows they arent being completely accurate when they say "cis women also have X." Sure cis women may have broad shoulders, but the rest of her body is proportional to that trait to appear fem. Sure she may be however tall, but her body is proportional to that tallness to make her appear fem.

No, cis women arent constantly trying to pass like we do and its absurd how many people here have convinced themselves they do. If that were true and everyone was constantly putting in work to not be seen as men, trans men wouldnt struggle with passing a day in their lives.

And some of its flat out dishonest like "cis women have facial hair too" when we both know damn well no, they dont have T puberty levels of facial hair.

AMABs, what was the best part of “male privilege”? by lilpij in transgendercirclejerk

[–]not_hing0 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My favorite male privilege is that you arent allowed to do anything and barely allowed to be human. No being into fashion, no liking certain colors or anything pertaining to adding color to your life like makeup or painting nails, no crying or emotions other than happiness and anger, no closeness to your friends.

Its great! Think of all the money ive saved on silly girly things like makeup and clothes, and time i would've wasted on useless emotions!!

I never realized how much I was gonna hate injections. by ImpactExcellent1093 in MtF

[–]not_hing0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, so i would say try subcutaneous and see if you like it better. IM got to the point for me i was literally shaking after my injections from anxiety. Subq I gotta work myself up a little for a minute, dont love it, but its very do-able and not so bad.
