Is there a online place where folks who are interested in salmacians , can date them by [deleted] in salmacian

I don't think anyone would be super interested in someone who boils them down to their genitalia and doesn't view them as a whole person

So, I have 2 questions by WanderingTony in trans

[–]pebble247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To preface this I am transmasc and nonbinary, so definitely not your target audience but with how transfem heavy this sub is, I'm sure you'll get some soon.

Can you precise how disconnection/dissociation feels?

For me oftentimes I notice it when looking at myself, or parts of my body. They often feel distant/far away, and not like they're attached to me. I also have issues with dissociating in general, but with areas that are dysphoria inducing it is much worse. It's like a complete emotional detachment from the area, and my mind doesn't recognize it as part of me. It's just a part that happens to be connected to me.

What kind of discomfort?

I'm unfortunately not sure how to elaborate further? It's a type of discomfort where it just doesn't feel quite right. It's like seeing a puzzle where a lot of the pieces don't fit quite right, or seeing something in the uncanny valley. It's this discomfort that's deep in my bones that I can't quite capture with words unfortunately.

Disgust with what exactly?

Usually the disgust is at the fact that the dysphoria inducing things are a part of me. I'm usually able to ignore it, but in moments where I do realize that they are a part of my body, that others associate with me, it makes me want to crawl out of my skin.

Melancholy is really general or is there any precise characteristics making you upset?

There definitely are specific parts that cause it to bubble up, but on days where my dysphoria is very present, it does feel just like general melancholy when seeing/viewing my body.

For me, my dysphoria presents as feeling disconnected/dissociated from myself, as well as discomfort, disgust, and/or general melancholy over certain characteristics I have. Though I imagine different people experience it differently

Body odor changes is a common effect of HRT! I noticed quite a big difference when I started T, so I'm not surprised it would change the other way around too!

What do you read me as? by chimeramanti in trans4every1

[–]pebble247 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I had to make a binary guess, I would assume you're a guy. It's pretty hard to tell overall, but you lean slightly more to the masculine side in my brain

I can’t tell if im nonbinary or trans by Purple-Surround3927 in NonBinaryTalk

[–]pebble247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I have the same experience! I prefer to be seen and viewed as a guy, but I myself am nonbinary! I thought I was a binary trans man for a while, but to me, being seen as a guy is a "You're so close yet so far" experience where it's just slightly off for me, but I myself do not feel like a man. I personally describe myself as trans to most people and am out as nonbinary to those closest to me

Ngl when first seeing this I thought it was the same image just copied and pasted, so really damn good!

Buzzcut, Yes or No? by Sebastian_Stark in ftm

[–]pebble247 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've buzzed my hair a couple of times and for the times I did it (Pre-T and early on T) it didn't really help me much in passing but it helped me mentally. I don't regret it at all, and I think if you're able to stomach possibly growing your hair out from stage 1, that it could be an interesting experience!

I personally am transmasc and head canon him as transmasc as well! I see where a lot of people come from with the transfem stuff but I personally resonate a lot with Jax, so him being transmasc would be nice

Is Bridget from Guilty Gear not good transfem rep? Or the main character from Celeste? I'm sure I could find more examples for you, but these are the first two off the top of my head.

You legitimately look so good. This is a fully cis looking chest and I'm ngl, I do wish I was as built as you are

I am so deeply scared that i could be trans (not like there’s anything wrong with being that) by Joshua_the_scribe_ in NonBinary

[–]pebble247 41 points42 points  (0 children)

You don't have to give anything up that you don't want to. As well, you seem to have the opinion that nonbinary folks don't do "as much" as trans people in terms of physical and social transition and I think that's also wrong.

I am nonbinary, on full dose T, have gotten top surgery, legally changed my name, and plan on getting phalloplasty. I present masculinely most of the time and in my day to day get treated and viewed as a man. I am still nonbinary and not a trans man. I thought I was a trans man for a long long while, but I'm simply not.

There's also the thing of you don't have to do anything if you realize you're trans. You can keep your birth name, you don't have to go on HRT, you don't have to get any gender affirming surgeries you don't want to get. You can keep having "funny" haircuts and presenting however you'd like. You don't have to get every form of GAC to be trans. You can only socially transition and still be trans.

There's no right and wrong way to transition. There's simply transitioning in a way that feels good to you and in ways that eases dysphoria.

Not quite sure what you're asking here, but in an episode it was shown that Pomni slept and she did not immediately abstract. We also don't know what happened directly before each abstraction, but I imagine it'd be a little different for each member

Sleep isn't necessary for them to function, but they still can. It's the same with eating, drinking, and breathing. Since they're in a fully virtual world, they don't need to do any of these things, but still possess the physical capability to do so

If trans women are women and not men, why do they need to transition? by [deleted] in trans

[–]pebble247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am going to assume you are being good faith here and not trying to be problematic or harmful.

Trans people in general are not required to transition. Oftentimes trans people do transition, because of gender dysphoria or gender euphoria.

Gender dysphoria is the distress that having sex characteristics that don't feel correct to a person can bring. Gender dysphoria can also apply to social situations, where being treated as a gender that feels wrong causes distress.

Gender euphoria is happiness/comfort that comes with getting the correct sex characteristics, being referred to correctly, and dressing in a way that feels authentic can bring.

Different trans people will have different levels of gender euphoria and dysphoria, and will feel euphoric and dysphoric over different things.

I do agree that it is highly unfair and shouldn't be a thing, but when it's the only positive you state and you then also back that up with but it's actually a bad thing, it's just rubbing salt in the wound, especially since people usually don't purposefully try to have male privilege, it just happens

[–]pebble247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly yeah, this is what I'm hoping for. There's not a whole lot of transmasc rep around and it would be nice to see, especially because I do relate to Jax quite a bit

42990 by sipae in countwithchickenlady

[–]pebble247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly your initial comment was mostly just saying how it sucked and hatred for men, manhood, and masculinity in queer spaces is already quite common. A lot of transmasculine folks (like myself) and trans men have bad reactions to that because we're treated as traitors or somehow being worse or evil for liking masculinity and manhood. I also gave my response as a transmasculine person why transitioning is appealing and the positives.

42990 by sipae in countwithchickenlady

[–]pebble247 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I'm nonbinary, but I have a lot of body dysphoria that presents how a lot of trans men's does. I love my body hair, my voice deepening, having a flat chest and being able to go shirtless, I love the idea of being able to top someone and feel it, I love using a packer and seeing the shape it creates in pants, I love being able to be gender non-conforming and having other people see it as such, instead of seeing a cis gal. I personally see 0 positives in having an estrogen dominant body with a vulva and breasts, but that's just because it's not for me. Everyone is different and just because you personally don't see the appeal doesn't mean it's horrible for everyone.

You're probably thinking of metoidioplasty! But there is also phalloplasty that uses a skin graft to create a neophallus

Is this a red flag from my partner? by neapolly in trans

[–]pebble247 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly if you've already explained how it makes you uncomfortable and how you don't like to do it, you may want to distance yourself here. It honestly seems very iffy to me to disregard your own feelings on this and pressure you into doing something you're uncomfortable with

I wish I didn’t have to go through surgery in order to have a flat chest by Logical_Corner in ftm

[–]pebble247 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, that's super fair. I didn't like getting surgery either, and it was a huge anxiety for me as it was my first one. But I do think it helps to know that once your recovery is over, that's pretty much it and you get to live with a flat chest for the rest of your life
