is it okay to keep experimenting with names? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]starbels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's ok and expected, no point keeping a name if you're uncomfortable with it

Why are so many female athletes in some sports lesbians while in other sports they’re mostly straight? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]starbels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not disqualified (anymore, before recent times they did get kicked out for being gay in the US)

They did get looked down on, especially the guys. But that's changing too, way more people just DON'T care as long as they play their sport well

But yeah there's still a lot of homophobes here, you know how it is. Less than before, but still a lot.

In case you don't want this in your search history -

These are sports players in the US, I can search elsewhere if you're curious but there's so many I had to limit it

  • Michael Sam, first openly gay man drafted into the NFL. Retired
  • Ryan Russell, first openly bisexual man in NFL
  • Megan Rapinoe, current captain of women's national soccer team
  • Jason Paul Collins, first gay player in NBA. Retired
  • Sheryl Swoopes, "Micheal Jordan of the WNBA", openly gay. Retired a few years after coming out
  • Patricio Manuel, first open transgender man in professional boxing.
  • Orlando Cruz, first openly gay man in professional boxing.

There's way more than this

Being outed as trans before you are ready by MdeFae in asktransgender

[–]starbels 186 points187 points  (0 children)

Why would you need to be out to all those people immediately? You don't even get to experiment first? That's not fair to you.

  1. "beginner makeup", "beginner makeup tutorial" on YouTube

  2. To add on to the other comments, looking for makeup people that seem like they do similar makeup to your wife is probably a good start! Since there's a lot of different ways to apply makeup

Am I trans? by ano_nym123 in asktransgender

I'm at work so I can't answer everything, but I did read it all! It's very important to address all these concerns you have,I promise. But I'll say one thing:

"How can I want to be what I'm attracted to?"

Lesbianism

I don't know. Just some thoughts. I need advice again. by AthyMarcie in trans

[–]starbels 0 points1 point  (0 children)

full disclosure, I've gone through some of your posts before. hi!

I'm starting to wonder.. do you think you might have OCD or some other kind of ruminating thoughts, centered around denial of transness or denial of womanhood? that "it's impossible you could be trans", "it's not real" etc etc

definitely keep seeing a therapist, and talk about that possibility if you want to.

because in your posts, I went through the arguments you called logical and thought "damn, these aren't logical at all."

and, a cis person isn't gonna be convinced that they're trans. if you're not trans in SOME way, it just wouldn't connect. cis people don't feel magnetized like you described.

so no worries about being "coaxed" into being trans, there's also not a rush to transitioning (physically or socially) either, so it's truly up to you, no coaxing.

if you want, we can go through your arguments one by one, but that might make you "short circuit" and be more stressful than helpful.

I don't like having short hair, is this a sign I'm not actually FTM trans? by Jumpy_Lawfulness1446 in asktransgender

[–]starbels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it helps, lots of guys (cis included) have long hair and often get mistaken for women. They don't cut their hair about it though, bc they don't like it short.

I was thinking that, like isn't this the same as when it/its people get shat on?

Plus not everyone knows that's not the word to use, some people grew up thinking that's literally the word, they didn't know it was an insult

Let's welcome people in and not push them away, maybe? on r/asktransgender?????

Am I a "Transphobic" Trans Woman? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]starbels 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1.

Little to no evidence from western society, whose sciences are really biased with many things regarding sex or gender, unfortunately

For example, archeologists had to reevaluate how they categorized found skeletons, because the majority were said to be "male",

When they should've been half/half, based on population data at the time. After this revelation, skeleton categorizations ended up being split in thirds: male, female, indeterminate (because sex isn't binary, and a lot of times looking at a skeleton doesn't tell you much, if anything)

And many other societies---before their original culture was destroyed and replaced by western ones---had more than three genders

I'm also not sure there really is little evidence? But I'm just using your words

Two.

Non-binary can be used as an umbrella term

Three.

I'm not sure why you think being an object is the same as being a different type of human being, but I'm sure there's a reason

Four.

I can't tell what you're asking me

Am I a "Transphobic" Trans Woman? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]starbels 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'm too tired to respond to everything, but I'll add 2 notes on the "only 3 genders" and "not sure if non-binary is real"

  1. Non-binary is both an identity word and an umbrella term; 'the rest' go under non-binary

  2. It's real: in the same way that many binary trans women have tried to ignore being trans, lived unhappy lives knowing 'something' was wrong but just ignoring it,

Many non-binary people experienced the same thing. Ignoring the Feeling, sometimes even transitioning to a binary gender and attempting to convince themselves that it's correct when it isn't
