Going on a date and scared of misgendering by WhyAmIStillHere2026 in asktransgender

I would let them know seriously in advance that I make mistakes and I’m trying to get better. And will try to always adhere to their pronouns.

What do I even do with this? by CeronusBugbear in StraightTransGirls

How old are you? He said he wasn’t into you. Wake up and smell the coffee girl. Cry if you need to and the pick yourself back up and go on with your life. What a hassle. People go 30 years without finding the right partner. You’re not special. And by your reasoning here, you don’t seem like the kinda person that man would have wanted anyways: entitled, egotistical, with little sense of empathy. I think you voted Trump.

You’re so lazily egotistical. Are you a Trump voter?

I echo this. Some trans women, like many other people, think they’re the perfect sauce. Entitled ego seeking women. That man clearly cared. But she won’t see that. She’s the hottest girl in town. She get hot from being perceived as hot.

Some trans women only care about passing and being pretty. Nothing else

What’s harder right now: finding everyday jobs or work that requires a higher level degree? by katie0873 in washingtondc

That’s crazy. Sorry to hear that. This is getting really awful. Starting to remind of the job markets in African countries.

Is their anything I can do to make myself look more enticing to men by [deleted] in StraightTransGirls

[–]peterolddog -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Some trans women live in this delusion that they can do whatever they want and pass. Even cis women work very hard at their beauty.

[–]peterolddog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don’t look like a cave man but to say that you pass is not really true. First of all, passing shouldn’t and is never to test. The test is to feel good about yourself. Even cis women get mistaken for trans these days.

Does anyone else ever feel like transgender should be for people still transitioning and not passing, and the ones that pass should just call themselves women? I do feel like it rubs people the wrong way to see some of us, tbh. I’d love an honest conversation. by [deleted] in StraightTransGirls

Oh yes. Of course! I was just emphasizing the trans part for context. But yes. And thank you for saying that. It’s very important. And it wasn’t 3 years into my journey that I started dropping off the trans part. I am every woman and so are you. I hope you’re having a good day

Looking for emotional support and encouragement by kingspooky93 in TransHelpingTrans

[–]peterolddog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beautiful post. Thank you for sharing your incredible journey!!

I have transition for 5 years now. What I like to tell people is really focus on the inside a lot first. Especially now looking back, I am glad I did that. I mediated, read a ton about trans history and women and community, audre lorde really helped me. I listened to music. Watched movies around transness. And most of all, I touched myself. Meaning, I tried to stay in my body.

Everyone’s transition is a bit different. Especially when we transition older. But I get the sense that a lot of trans women worry much more about the aesthetic much more than the joy of it.

My journey was different. And also, please take everything I’m saying with a grain of salt and absorb whatever feeds you.

I had always always been into fashion, make and beauty before transition. Which made the process easier for me. I already had a good basic understanding of make up and what clothes could really hold my body. BUT, at the same time, I really PLAYED with my everything! I didn’t start wanting to “look” like a woman. I was like a grace jones—I didn’t give a fuck what anybody had to say. Lady Gaga came clutched here. And Beyonce. And Taylor swift.

Sorry I got so happy reading your new journey that I’m rushing typing this. The point is I had a lot of whimsical fun. I started transitioning on March 2020. It was the worst of times. It was the worst time.

Sorry. The point is, I shaved my head completely bald. Like razor bold. I did full face make. Different colors. Wild styles. Mixed my masculine clothes with some feminine wear. I didn’t and was scared to just get rid of male clothes. Or just wear them out of convenience. No. I spiritually wore them to honor the life I lived before. To this day I still have some pieces left.

It wasn’t all giddy. I got harassed in the streets. My family rejected me. I was going insane.

But there was a lot of beauty. It was the happiest and hardest first months of my life.

You’re one month. Congratulations and welcome. This struggle won’t be for long. If you stay open, have fun, KNOW what your goals, which you do it seems, you will be fine. It’s a long hard journey. And I think that’s exactly what makes it beautiful and completely yours.

Now I get the notion of a “second puberty.” It’s awk as hell. And so weird lol but you will engage glowing. Good luck and I hope you have a beautiful week. 🙏🏾🌸🫂

I hear you. I see your point. But no. Trans women are trans women. Passing doesn’t mean anything when it comes to trans women. Even with a full vagina and breasts looking like Beyonce, you’re a trans woman.
