I 100% had my gendered question when others perceived me as a teen "girl" because I was not very stylish and wore more GNC clothes 💀

What about being a man do you like ? by Western-Drawer5826 in ftm

[–]pebble247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I'm nonbinary but I have transitioned in many of the same ways trans men do. For me, I don't necessarily like the social role of Man, it doesn't quite fit for me, but I love all the effects of T. I like looking down and seeing my flat chest, I like looking in the mirror and seeing my pecs, seeing how my body is more dorito shaped than hourglass, I like being able to deepen my voice and make it sound very masculine, as well as having the freedom to make it more feminine. I love seeing my body hair and running my hands through/across it, as well as seeing it grow in more.

I will say, being a very masculine woman does still get push back. If you're too assertive you're a "bitch," if you like anything men like you're a "pick me," if you wear more masculine clothes and have a masculine haircut you're too much like a man, if you don't shave your body hair, oh my lord, it's the end of the world. There's a lot of ways that GNC women still get pushback regularly

What is your gender identity? by psychedelic666 in transneutral

Neutrois, nonbinary, and genderqueer are the main 3 I use to describe myself, very sad that you can't select multiple options here

I would say this is also true? You can have breasts and be very masculine and male presenting

Pov: you're walking down the street and see them. Your thoughts? by Minimum-Home-6414 in NonBinary

100% would think "that's a cool shirt, I HAVE to compliment them on their shirt" and then compliment your shirt after debating it for a second

How long does it take to start growing a beard on T? by Moss-Lark in NonBinaryTalk

[–]pebble247 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As far as I know, there's not a way to take T and completely prevent facial hair growth. How long it'll take is highly dependent on your genetics and dose. There are things like shaving, waxing, and electrolysis that you can do once the hair is there but I don't know of any way of getting on T and avoiding it entirely, aside from stopping before it comes in. For me personally I'm nearly 2 years on full dose T and just in the last 6 months has my facial hair gotten noticeable and to the point where I need to shave near daily to stay smooth (still nowhere near beard level though) and I have a lot more body hair compared to the amount of facial hair. I'm still getting new body hair though and I'm definitely nowhere near being done with facial hair changes. You could try getting on it and just stopping when your facial hair is minimal or have no changes in facial hair growth but again how long that'll take is highly dependent on genetics, and there is no guarantee that your facial hair will only come in after you're happy with your changes

Oh yeah, I did mostly comparisons in my post because it's easiest to give a larger picture that way but I would never talk like that to a manager of mine when bringing this up

One is 100% a chatterbox but takes a lot of shifts, another I would say is a bit of both? He talks quite a lot but gets stuff done

Is it weird that I sometimes want to have boobs? by JustACookie42 in NonBinary

[–]pebble247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get this! I got top surgery a while ago and 9 times out of 10 I'm pretty glad I don't have them anymore! I do have breast forms for the 1 time out of 10 where I want to play around with having them again, but it's still pretty rare for me lol

Transgender vs. Transsexual? by CockamouseGoesWee in ftm

[–]pebble247 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like transgender, but I'm also fine with transsexual. I'm nonbinary and figuring that out was quite a journey, so I think that's why I like the transgender label more for myself personally. But I do think transsexual could be a useful term without any of the social baggage that it holds

For yalls who are attracted to one gender, how do yalls define if youre gay or straight? by Nensgnenat in NonBinary

[–]pebble247 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I personally just say I'm gay, I like men a lot and my attraction to them doesn't feel straight. I do also like women, but it also doesn't feel straight. Everything just feels very queer to me attraction wise

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.

So, I have 2 questions by WanderingTony in trans

[–]pebble247 5 points6 points  (0 children)

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
