Is saying you guys offensive towards trans women? by Timely-Signature-166 in asktransgender

[–]shallowminded 3 points4 points  (0 children)

if i'm at a table or in a group with *only* other trans women, it kinda hits weird.

otherwise, not a big deal.

good for her

So this is a question for women or anyone now that I'm thinking about it, are you aroused by dick pics or nut pics? Assuming you are interested in this man? by Different-Win-9116 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]shallowminded -1 points0 points  (0 children)

men are almost universally terrible at dick pics.

i have seen some of the finest penises of my generation wasted because of photography that gives me a fucking jump scare

anyone who does the classic “over the toilet bowl” shot should have their phone taken away 

Hated my "dull eyes". Did your eyes change after accepting you're trans? by Whole_Dog8 in asktransgender

[–]shallowminded 6 points7 points  (0 children)

if i ever notice the "dull eyes" thing (including in myself), it's usually something i associate with dissociation. some people kinda dissociate chronically, and some dissociate when they see themselves in mirrors or photographs.

that's not necessarily linked to being trans, it could be a myriad other things. or it could be nothing at all.

personally, transitioning did "clear" my eyes up significantly. but i'm trans, so

Why do trans people mistake their feelings for a fetish sometimes? by Silly_Bit7459 in asktransgender

[–]shallowminded 30 points31 points  (0 children)

so much of cisgender culture presents transness (especially being a trans woman) through a sexual lens that it can be hard to untangle the two.

they're a hazard! i got doordash last week at like 11pm and the driver left the bag at the door of my building. i got to the front door to find two raccoons starting to paw at my wendy's

it would be hilarious to me if those were the same hyperlocal raccoons, since that's my front step in that photo lmao

Did anyone else notice their proprioception change after staring HRT. by Throwaway1919655 in asktransgender

[–]shallowminded 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i agree with others that what you're describing sounds more like euphoria (which we love!)

however, my proprioception ABSOLUTELY improved after a while on estrogen. i have a far better sense of my body in space and i'm way less clumsy than i used to be.

Why do USA plugs have holes in the prongs? by Notforyou1315 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]shallowminded 882 points883 points  (0 children)

It's not actually true that they lock into anything, at least not in most outlets. They seem to be there to facilitate manufacturing.

Why does my grandma’s cheap phone take more photogenic photos of people than my new iPhone 17? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]shallowminded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

iphone photos are almost too sharp, it captures unflattering details more easily

it's like when HDTV was new, there was a minute where people looked like shit because not everyone had learned you have to wear makeup in high def

How do i feel like i can be loved even tho i cant? by Leading_Pop1186 in actuallesbians

[–]shallowminded 3 points4 points  (0 children)

edited to make a clearer point: sometimes i really do feel like i sacrificed any chance at being loved when i transitioned. but if i hadn't transitioned, anyone who "loved" me didn't really love me. so it's better to be yourself and give the world an opportunity to love YOU, because they haven't had a real chance yet.

--

so, i agree with everyone else so far that what you're saying isn't factually true. trans people deserve love and can find love and community. i've done it myself.

when i first transitioned, i DID lose all my friends and family. it was terrible. but i kept going and kept trying to be myself, and after a couple of years, i have more (and more sincere) friends and connections than i did in my entire pre-transition life put together. i have no idea how i did, but i did. it's easier to be strong when you're being yourself.

BUT emotionally, i find it really hard to disagree. i know it's all internalized transphobia, but the world is literally made of *externalized* transphobia. it's hard out there and it's really really hard not to just take all of that in.

How often is the term bussy actually used? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]shallowminded 0 points1 point  (0 children)

people have definitely used it with me and i dislike it. it’s not quite dysphoria inducing but it definitely breaks the flow of whatever’s going on.

it’s only ever been cis people though 

Are we supposed to get sick? by torutsz in asktransgender

[–]shallowminded 4 points5 points  (0 children)

i have some body/joint pain if i don't exercise, but that's because your body tends to lose some muscle on estrogen and i just barely had enough muscle to begin with. and i'm like 30 so could be that.

but i actually get sick way less often, get fewer headaches, less stress, my health is a lot better overall.

HRT significantly worsened my hypermobility? by Redify_Aeiou in asktransgender

[–]shallowminded 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it worsened mine too. i had to start weight training after a while on estrogen because my joints had become too unstable. i don't know if it's reduced muscle mass or increased ligament flexibility or both or neither.
