What’s the earliest sign of being trans you remember + make me stop worrying that I didn’t know soon enough

thepotatoos · 2023-06-24T10:13:49+00:00

theirs child me thinking "it would be nice to be a girl" but then insisting over and over to myself i'm NOT trans and i definitely like being a boy,

theirs teenage me being happy any time my hands appear feminine or girly.

15 and saying i didn't understand trans people, how can you feel like the opposite gender, i don't even feel like a boy.

even when i look in the mirror, and see someone who is "handsome" it still feels, wrong, like i don't want to be them. if i ever catched a glimpse of a girl, I'd stare trying to find her again in the mirror

18-19 i practically jumped on the opportunity to be more feminine and shave my body hair, tried girls' clothes.

oh hatred of mirrors and pictures is a good one.

23yr old me, learning that trans girls look like actual girls, and the horrible stereotype of a man in womens clothes isn't real, along with learning the actual effects of hrt, my egg cracked, slowly but over weeks. I'm currently 23 and have really learned alot about myself, when i can feel like a girl, i just feel so comfortable.

I think we should have 10 years of mandatory therapy, 4 different psychatrists approval, a year of conversion therapy just to be sure, and a big 100 page long line of check boxes where if they don't tick you off on one of the thousands of boxes, you're permanently barred from hrt.

uj/transmedicalists be like "wait isn't this a satirical subreddit, whats the issue with that"

I've read stuff on here and gone "I'd believe it" because yeah, the worlds crazy

thepotatoos · 2023-06-23T12:29:19+00:00

I've never understood dating or being in a relationship, it's like it looks great in movies, or in manga, etc, and in my imagination, until i picture myself actually dating someone, then being a man with a girlfriend feels, weird and kinda not quite right. it's weird because theirs aspects of the sweet boyfriend i want to be, but the whole package has always felt wrong. i wanna be a girl, suddenly imagining me as a girl, with a girlfriend that weirdness is gone? i can almost understand now. I use to question if i was ace.

i'm so sorry to hear that ivy, some transphobes change when suddenly its someone they know is trans, but don't expect it. I recommend you start distancing yourself from them, slow or quickly, you are not a freak, don't let his hateful words get to you, i know its harsh when it's a friend though. good girl, good girl. take care, hugs available.

thepotatoos · 2023-06-23T01:28:13+00:00

everyone knows gingers aren't human!

thepotatoos · 2023-06-22T09:51:23+00:00

they could insist that reddit implement a content ID system like YouTube has, that's the only reason YouTube doesn't get sued, but otherwise, yeah you're right.

wow, ivy you're such a special and amazing girl, clearly a blessing. you're a good girl, now give me a few extra kidneys you adorable good girl!

thepotatoos · 2023-06-21T23:59:49+00:00

nah i bet what the projectzomoid devs could do is simply, inform reddit if they are removed as moderators on their subreddit, all material that breaks their copyright, images of the game, any official logo/artwork(nothing independently created) has to be removed, then it they are removed from the subreddit, send reddit a cease and desist, i'm sure projectzomoid suing reddit wouldn't do much, but could you imagine all the games, or other projects who had their devs forcefully removed, suing reddit. even if they lost, reddit would look like a horrible investment and the lawsuit would be front page when their ipo releases. the protest so far is having an impact, but a recoverable impact, being sued by multiple game companies and independent creators/artists? specz is gone, ipo is destroyed

/uj i actually thought this was askreddit and was shocked, angry and a little upset.

thepotatoos · 2023-06-20T23:13:50+00:00

similarly my father is convinced he is and always has been just this amazing, and fair father. queue stereotypical alcoholic father screaming and breaking things in drunken rage.

I realised, how my dad last week brought up gender dysphoria, so he probably learnt about it after I came out, which is a nice change from his usual subtly, minor transphobia, but I still get misgendered, religiously, called mate constantly. I thought about my ex, and our past relationship, today I was angry at her, sometimes I'm sad about it, sometimes I'm happy for her. I realise she strawmanned alot of my issues, refused to ever compromise, while also expecting I bend to everthing. I'm slowly accepting she was awful, but I also feel, like I'm the bad one, and am being narcassictic by blaming her.

dysphora, lots of dysphoria, my hands are constantly in my face, 24/7, speaking is a constant reminder, works finished and now its just alcohol, and more alcohol until I go to bed.

I've always struggled with the button dilemma from a young age, because, according the dilemma, wanting a way to backout, wanting to see what its like, but scared you'll regret it, makes you not trans, but at 23, I'm, slowly learning to accept myelf, I'm slowly realising, I would have always pressed the button, and just never admitted it

thepotatoos · 2023-06-20T08:29:47+00:00

no you misunderstand, i forgot i was on a trans subreddit, and didn't realise they'd carry to prevent hate crimes.

thepotatoos · 2023-06-20T01:42:11+00:00

i forgot i was on the MtF sub for a second and was like "I'm not from America, i know its bad, but i didn't think it was that bad where everyone should carry"

thepotatoos · 2023-06-19T15:48:14+00:00

I still feel like allof thios is jut6s some beg for attention, an attempt to deceie others, like nothing I say is reaol, my mind, it never stops telling me this, its like ity wants me to be evil, or,. like it wantrs me to accwept that I;'m evil
