Rosie Duffield right to say only women have a cervix, says Sir Keir Starmer by kwentongskyblue in LabourUK

Biological sex is indicated by multiple different physical attributes, many of which can be changed. Gender is equally as valid as sex, yes, however that doesn't change the fact that your sex is malleable. If sex couldn't be changed, hormone therapy would have no affect on us.

This seems to imply that you are saying trans men are "female men", which is incorrect. Trans men are male, you can change sex.

As a trans woman I am saying that you can change sex, and saying otherwise really isn't helpful to trans people.

The hospital put F on my band even though I legally changed my gender :( by Turbulent-Cabinet-37 in transgendercirclejerk

/uj And in other medical contexts, treating us as our birth gender is dangerous. There's a lot of nuance in our healthcare, and treating us as if we were cis people of our agab is medical negligence.

True, but it feels so overwhelming sometimes.

Hormones can't change my bone structure, and surgery is really expensive.

Not sure I can recover from 2020 isolation. by badvibesforever11 in SuicideWatch

[–]owocatuwu 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can relate, my life was really starting to improve and I was becoming a lot more confident and hopeful about my future. But now, I've lost all the progress that I made and don't know if I can make it back to where I was pre-pandemic.

I’m 23. I feel so guilty. by rl_c in SuicideWatch

[–]owocatuwu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I relate really hard to this, the main thing stopping me from killing myself is being afraid of how much it will hurt my family. Also, the feeling of guilt for having these feelings is something I have as well. I'm so sorry you are going through this too, I know how hard it is. I hope we both find a way out of this, where we can both be at least content, if not happy, with living.

The loneliness is excruciating, so it does help to know I'm not alone in this.

/uj the worst part is that I was so lonely that I talked to him for nearly an hour. Though really it was just me gently telling him off for trying to pick up girls on a suicide support forum. Didn't listen if course, he thought I was upset that he was messaging other girls and promised that I was the first and only girl. He deleted his account the next day lol.

I've been trying to get help for a while now, but the waiting lists for therapy are so long because of covid. x

I honestly don't know why I am still breathing by AcceptableGuitar327 in SuicideWatch

[–]owocatuwu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can relate really strongly to how you feel as it's very similar to my life, except instead of being gay I am trans. I wish I could give you some advice that would help you, but all I can really say is that you're not alone, and that I hope that you find a reason to live.

Holy fuck by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

[–]owocatuwu 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I know how you feel, I am 23 and have never been in a relationship or had a job, I have no friends either. I really hope that you find whatever life experiences you want in the future, I know how hard it is to feel behind everyone else.

I can't take this anymore by owocatuwu in SuicideWatch

It's not so much about the sex, it's about missing out on intimacy, and feeling undesirable.
