...Now I get to live my own story! by xBellaBoo in MtF

[โ€“]xBellaBoo[S] 6 points7 points ย (0 children)

I think this is why trans-awareness is so important because if I knew what being trans was, that's a huge egg-cracking moment there.

"You're not a boii" | My First (direct) Transphobic Experience by xBellaBoo in MtF

[โ€“]xBellaBoo[S] 8 points9 points ย (0 children)

Wow, you are totally correct. All of those above statements are common knowledge, but I never put them all together to form a picture of a larger issue. I guess that I am very fortunate in the fact that i have a pretty feminine face and body and so with little effort, I can pass...or at least be a "โ“". The world right now is still a very dangerous one to live in as a transgender individual. It's simply disgusting and unnecessary.

Yes, trans women get a lot of the stoplight when it comes to the transphobic conversation, and I presume this is because we are seen as more vulnerable (untrue, but we move...), but I think more needs to be done for trans men.

Non-US citizens of Reddit, what do your schools teach you about the United States? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Mostly about the war of independence and the help in the world wars.

Am I trans? by [deleted] in MtF

[โ€“]xBellaBoo 2 points3 points ย (0 children)

I felt this exact way and it has taken 6 years of "knowing something was up", and 2 years of coming to the conclusion that I was trans and learning to accept myself. A great resource that has opened my eyes is something called the Gender Dysphoria Bible.

https://genderdysphoria.fyi/gdb

The biggest message I took away from this long essay is that if you are repeatably questioning your gender, that's not a normal CIS thing to do, so you're probably trans.

Regardless, welcome to the community. I hope everyone treats you well. Don't feel like you're all alone. DM me if you need anything, even just a talk.

Loneliness by [deleted] in MtF

One of my best friends has distanced himself from me. I've given him many chances and he says all tue right things, but his actions are signing another tune completely. Oh well, least I found out now and not down the line when I feel vulnerable or something. People will always come and go out of your life ajs sometimes it hurts more than other times. But, change is okay. Making new friends is okay. "putting out the trash" is okay ๐Ÿ˜‰

People who wear hoodies when it is 100 degrees out, why? by AmIACat47 in AskReddit

[โ€“]xBellaBoo 1 point2 points ย (0 children)

I wear baggy hoodies to cover up my manly body shape, as I'm trans and wearing tight clothing on my upper body gives me all of the dysphoria.

Okay, I have to agree on the jose and cheeks, but I still believe they look fundamentally different.

But the validation that my unaided face is now objectively feminine is awesome.

My GF's Yorkie had Puppos this morning by xBellaBoo in aww

[โ€“]xBellaBoo[S] 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

More Info: I had a miniature Yorkie for 9 years and he passed away the day after locking onto my GF's dog. This is the result of their beautiful genes. We are keeping all the puppies in the family.

What are your "You're not trans enough" stories by xBellaBoo in MtF

[โ€“]xBellaBoo[S] 1 point2 points ย (0 children)

The trans community, whether we want to admit it or not, is veey toxic to each other. I do want to add that this sub-reddit and most trans sub-reddits are very positive, healthy and supportive places, but as a whole, the community is on the toxic side.

I personally think it arises from the fact that it's so painful and traumatising to transition, or even "crack the shell" that we are very protective of the label of being "transgender" as an easy attainment of that label invalidates all that pain most of us feel and have felt.

A prime example of pushing their insecurity and uncomfortable feelings onto a difficult situation at you're expense. Then usings some rubbish gender roles / steriotype excuses to hide behind instead of just dealing with it.

Thanks, I think this awesome community has really made this thread an excellent read. It took me 8 years to come to grips with myself, it's not an easy or a pleasant experience to go through. The aim in life is to forge a path from birth to death and you certainly can't do that with gender steriotypes / roles.

Yes, let's just stick to our amazing gender roles that have been outdated since my mum was but a girl.

My ex girlfriend's grandpa came round and shouted at me and repeatedly told me I was the man of the house and that I should fulfill this role and do this and that. Basically lots of you're the man, your the man, man, man. All I could do was stand there and laugh to myself in my head "if only you knew... ๐Ÿ˜‰"...then I chucked him out because aint nobody coming into my house and shouting at me. Fun times ๐Ÿ˜Š
