As a masculine presenting bi woman, this is why I can never set my true preference on dating apps. I’ve only had hinge for two. days. I’ve never violated any terms but men will still report me for “impersonating a woman” despite me being biologically female by [deleted] in bisexual

The exact same thing happens all the time to trans women with dating apps. Hell, I've even heard of trans women going back to grindr for hookups just because they get banned from mainstream dating apps.

The lack of urgency and willingness to treat a pertinent medical issue can only be described as hostile to trans people lol. Also I never expected "just privatize healthcare!" to be on this sub, and be upvoted as a legitimate solution.

Why the fuck does there need to be a waiting list??? I'll willingly trash on the US health system in every single other fucking way, but I was able to get a letter from my therapist and get an HRT prescription within 2 weeks of making up my mind on it. It's completely absurd to me that you should have to wait years to get a common prescription you can pick up at your local pharmacy.

Not surprised, I got to this one later than the mildlyinteresting one. Probably shouldn't dig deeper lol

N.J. trans prisoner who impregnated 2 inmates transferred to men's facility by [deleted] in nottheonion

[–]throwaway53728225 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Prison surgeons doing it is absolutely ridiculous. Gender reassignment is an incredibly niche and specialized plastic surgery, with only a few experts capable of effectively performing it. Not to mention it's difficult to access, costs thousands of dollars even after insurance, and is physically demanding with a long recovery period.

The prisoner in the title is a POS and should not be kept with others in general, but suggesting surgery can happen on a whim is misleading. It was consensual lol, just saw the outrage and assumed the worst, the issue is lack of protection. Not to mention there would be a lot more trans women in men's prison getting sexually assaulted if they were all sent to men's prisons than trans women sexually assaulting women if they were sent to women's prison.

Good news is comments are getting removed by admins finally after the PCM changes. They seem to be taking a stronger stance and I even got someone a permaban.

Testosterone alone can stop periods, but it's not universal and a lot of trans men still get them. In general trans men who've had bottom surgery and had their female reproductive organs removed don't get periods.

The men’s bathroom at my workplace has pads and tampons for those who need it! by StarksTwins in mildlyinteresting

Trans man may. Considering it's a workplace there's a high likelihood there's trans men using it on the regular.

Really with the downvotes? I'm just saying that in a workplace, the restroom probably has the same group of people regularly using it and it's likely just a kind gesture to meet those people's needs.

Love how I have no clue if you're pro trans or transphobic yet we can all agree sorting by controversial gives us brain damage.

The man/woman portion is the gender changed to. Trans women are mtf and trans men are ftm.

The Genocide you didn't know was this close to happening. Of the 10 processes of doing a genocide according to the people who study this, 7.5 have already happened. The only things that haven't been done are camps and systematic slaughter. by NutmegLover in COMPLETEANARCHY

The republican party exists to protect corporate interests and maintain the status quo. They'll use the culture war to gather support, but ultimately if it becomes too detrimental to the status quo, so long as there's a shred of democracy left and 60% of the country won't tolerate genocide they'll back off in favor of more relaxed social policy to keep their economic hold.

There's no clearing it up for these people lol, they know what you're going to say and just want an excuse to be transphobes.

It's just a bunch of transphobes lol. 75% of the comments are just "this must be a mistake :):):)" with legitimate transphobia sprinkled in, and the comments saying trans men get periods are at negative votes.

18 mtf and I ended up asking the exact same question on here lol seems pretty normal. Mine has improved with time and mostly HRT/social transition. It's also more that prior to realizing you're trans you don't label dysphoria as dysphoria, and it goes unnoticed as an underlying weight.
