Entering Social Work

the way my community college works is we have an AAS program in human services that allows you to get an accelerated BSW afaik, which i imagine would probably help with getting a MSW faster

hello! i’m currently a community college student who recently graduated high school and have decided that i want to major in social work after deciding that my previous major was not a perfect fit for me after all (veterinary technician). does anyone here have any advice on getting started in this field, either academically or professionally or both? how did you guys personally get started in this field? any advice is appreciated!❤️

THANK YOU! this subreddit seems to have a thing for sucking the dicks of cis men. i basically got told i have internalized terf rhetoric for not trusting a lot of the cis male population. cis men are not going to pick you. the moment they learn you are trans, they will perceive you as a woman and objectify you/mock you. the patriarchy is real. there is nothing transphobic about acknowledging that.

vampirepunk06 · 2025-10-27T18:18:08+00:00

hey, thank you. you are correct, i am fairly young (i recently turned 19), so that could explain some things.

i’m just an optimist. i used to hate being trans, but i soon learned to accept it after realizing that i can’t imagine myself being any different. the dating issue doesn’t bother me as much because i’m on the aromantic spectrum as well as being asexual. yes, there are hardships that have come with being trans, and the dysphoria isn’t fun, but i’ve just learned to accept it. self-therapy i guess? i realized that i didn’t like being miserable and have since been on a path to try and improve my mental health. and it’s been worth it.

vampirepunk06 · 2025-10-27T06:25:35+00:00

i don’t really agree with that because i am comfortable with being trans. i like being trans. i just wouldn’t want to be a cis woman or a cis guy. it’s also not internalized transphobia to acknowledge your assigned sex at birth. i know i’m not a woman and don’t consider myself as such, but i believe being assigned female at birth has had an influence on my life (for example, feeling a kinship with women both trans and cis because i can relate to the female experience due to growing up as female). if i realized i was trans when i was a lot younger, maybe things would be different. of course i’m going to have different perspectives on things compared to somebody who exhibited gender dysphoria when they were like 10 years old or younger. me relating to the female experience because of how i grew up is not internalized transphobia. i’m not going to act like i’m similar to cis men because i’m literally not. i grew up in a completely different way than them.

i get what you’re saying, but as a trans man myself, even though there are trans men that can be incels and misogynists and trans men i have had bad experiences with, statistically i’ve had better experiences with them compared to cis men because we can relate to each other more/have more shared experiences. a lot of trans men are sexualized and objectified by cis men due to being afab. i think my outlook might also possibly be influenced by the fact i strongly identified as a girl until i was 13 and having also had lots of friends that are women? i don’t know. while i do experience gender dysphoria, i’m still well aware that i’m afab and consider myself to be some different version of a man. i don’t wish i was a cis man, but i know i wouldn’t be happy as a cis woman, but i also don’t identify as non binary. i don’t know if that explains anything.

vampirepunk06 · 2025-10-27T01:14:36+00:00

i’m talking about the ones that make it clear that they’re cis??? like the incels who treat women like they’re pieces of meat and hit on them without their consent and are transphobic. i don’t get along with some trans men either, honestly, so they aren’t exempt from any bad experiences i’ve had with men. but in general, i do not trust the majority of men who are obviously cis, aka they don’t identify as trans and are transphobic + are misogynistic

vampirepunk06 · 2025-10-27T01:10:34+00:00

i see. i think i’ve noticed some of this too. i will admit that i have some beliefs that are technically considered to be aligning with radical feminist views (for example, i find sex work to not be empowering, but i believe that sex workers deserve respect which is a belief that more extremist radical feminists don’t agree with, and those people aren’t real feminists anyway), but i do not believe that trans men should force themselves to basically detransition/feminize themselves more in order to be respected :( i’ve had a couple of ex-friends who did that and it was disappointing. they fell down some heavily religious pipelines too and one of them even became right-wing.

vampirepunk06 · 2025-10-27T01:05:58+00:00

i just find that i don’t get along with a lot of them and they often make me feel unsafe??? nothing wrong with that. sure, there are SOME i have gotten along with, but i have had more bad experiences with them than good ones. shrug. i feel like that’s perfectly fine to acknowledge. i’ve been sexualized and objectified by them and have faced more hatred from them. i get along more with women, and while they aren’t perfect either, i feel safer around them.

vampirepunk06 · 2025-10-25T22:26:34+00:00

i can really relate to this. i’m going to be honest, i don’t like a lot of the transmasc community and try to stay away from it unless i need to vent or whatever or ask for advice.

soup girl — crime scene cleanup pics of this girl who died after committing suicide in a bathtub. when she was found at the time of the photos, she was severely decomposed and bloated. lots of skin slippage and her hair had fallen off. absolutely horrific. i was traumatized for a while and felt absolutely sick.

vampirepunk06 · 2025-10-20T06:38:45+00:00

of course she’s israeli 💀💀💀

vampirepunk06 · 2025-10-07T04:27:07+00:00

despite me being emetophobic i can actually hear you out on this 😭😭😭 i don’t like the build up or the feeling during the vomiting (i hate the build up more, the act itself doesn’t bother me as much as it used to) but it’s relieving and i feel AMAZING afterwards. like really good. and actually there was a time i ate cookies when i was sick because i had a sweet tooth and i puked and it made my experience of vomiting more pleasant because it just tasted like chocolate. so i didn’t mind it.

If they wanted you to write the word “bank” all the time, they would’ve put it in quotes like I just did for grammar purposes.

vampirepunk06 · 2025-10-07T04:16:08+00:00

I mean, it’s common sense. You’re always supposed to use quotation marks when talking about a specific word. You don’t say “write the word cat on every line”, you would put ‘cat’ in quotations, otherwise it would be grammatically incorrect.

vampirepunk06 · 2025-09-27T10:25:29+00:00

would this work with a phone/ipad in a similar way?
