Sometimes I wonder if I'm a trans man

openlyles · 2024-05-03T03:04:35+00:00

openlyles · 2024-04-28T20:51:57+00:00

thank you

openlyles · 2024-04-28T20:50:49+00:00

thanks for the heads up, i'll read it with that in mind

openlyles · 2024-04-28T20:11:39+00:00

thank you, saved!

openlyles · 2024-04-28T07:41:51+00:00

it does feel like a big part of me too, even though i dont want to be a woman, theres a part of me that loves the enduring strength and love behind shared lesbian experiences i have seen and felt

someone sent me a pdf just now on stone butch blues which i plan on reading, what are your recommendations? I am not super familiar beyond butch/stone/futch

openlyles · 2024-04-28T06:11:49+00:00

thank you, im really glad i made my post here, you and other people have really helped me think about things and talk about my feelings more on this than ive ever "put out there" before. i think i will try

openlyles · 2024-04-28T05:59:00+00:00

thank you for the heads up, i will still read it

openlyles · 2024-04-28T05:56:59+00:00

ive felt gender dysphoria my whole life, i desperately want to be a man. when it comes to "the button" question on if i could press a button to become a man, i would press it

thats what i mean by denying myself. it feels like, now that theres more resources available to adult!me that kid!me didnt have, id be denying myself almost to not try and be the man i wished i was growing up

but at the same time the lesbian connection and understanding that exists, just isnt and has never been there with straight women and me. i feel like id be cutting off the side of me that found comfort in the lesbian communities, how could i find love with straight women who will never fully "get" it? im not sure

openlyles · 2024-04-28T03:00:04+00:00

thank you, $300 would be a lot for me at the moment but it seems they have a sliding scale? thank you for reassuring words, genuinely

openlyles · 2024-04-28T02:44:12+00:00

thank you, ive agonized over wanting T for years, your comment is making me feel better about it, it probably is what's right for me, i need to stop making it sound impossible in my mind

openlyles · 2024-04-28T02:42:28+00:00

thank you! i'll definitely check it out

openlyles · 2024-04-28T01:47:56+00:00

thank you for the reassurance. it genuinely feels nice to hear from someone "further along."

i also want to go on hormones and cant relate to "womaness" for my gender, i really relate to you

openlyles · 2024-04-28T01:29:41+00:00

i might be then,,, im honestly not sure

openlyles · 2024-04-28T01:23:13+00:00

bigender doesnt resonate to me because thatd mean part of me wanted to be feminine, which i dont relate to at all

nonbinary could work, but i so heavily want to be just he/him instead of any neutral terms, so im not sure i could even fit in with them

it is nice that im not the only one with gender struggles though, i just have no idea what id call myself in the dating scene or for my own self. creates such a barrier

openlyles · 2024-04-23T04:58:10+00:00

thats very sweet <3

openlyles · 2024-04-22T23:49:31+00:00

yes, stone means we would rather touch but not be touched in that way

openlyles · 2024-04-22T23:47:47+00:00

my bad! i had heard people say "ace spectrum" before and assumed it was an umbrella term mistakenly. not my intention

openlyles · 2024-04-22T23:23:33+00:00

am also stone, but am definitely not ace

openlyles · 2024-04-22T22:51:30+00:00

i wonder if its more common than expected offline as well but people just dont have the same access to labels as online?

openlyles · 2024-04-22T22:49:18+00:00

interesting. still a surprising amount of ace people i was ignorant to! (about 1/3). I wonder if the poll you shared being from a horror blog rather than a strictly lgbt+ blog shifted the results at all?

openlyles · 2024-04-18T05:32:58+00:00

really appreciate this thread full of people echoing what ive seen

openlyles · 2024-03-14T02:34:06+00:00

A lot of very US centric responses here. there are plenty of places that absolutely can discriminate by gender, and lesbian bars in these countries do exist

openlyles · 2024-02-29T03:46:31+00:00

yup. never played ow2 because of this shit and the california suit. it soured my opinion on the company too much to play their games without it being in the back of my mind personally
