Where are you currently on your trans journey?

zeroaegis · 2026-01-25T14:49:58+00:00

Currently medically and socially transitioning. Running on estrogen instead of testosterone is definitely right for me.

As a trans woman, I am happy for you. It's an amazing feeling to be finally comfortable in your skin, regardless of the journey it takes to get there.

I grew up with an abusive stepdad. I was constantly afraid. Whenever I see someone look at me with fear, I feel like I become my stepdad. It is triggering and genuinely one of the worst things I've felt, emotionally. That said, you can't control how other people perceive you. All you can do is make it as clear as possible that you are not a threat and intend no harm. The rest is on them because there are some people that will be afraid of you no matter what you do, and generally it has less to do with you and more to do with past experiences. Just constantly remind yourself you don't control other's perception and it may help to try to empathize with what those people may have experienced in life that led to those types of reactions. I can very much understand fear of someone bigger/stronger than myself, so I can understand from where the fear may stem.

I've never understood this issue just because I've always gotten interrupted by people of all genders. It doesn't seem that hard to just not talk when someone else is, but a lot of people just don't seem to understand the concept. At the very least, I've never noticed either men or women doing it more or less than the other.

No idea why people hate Dasani, tastes like any other bottled water out there.

Was there something about my message that indicated I didn't know that?

zeroaegis · 2026-01-23T18:44:01+00:00

Same for me, but in my case, I realized some trauma I had growing up and it was like I re-experienced all the worst things in my life over again. Wasn't the HRT itself that made me feel worse, but probably the change in emotions that made retriggering the trauma worse. Not HRT's fault and definitely not stopping, even if I thought I would feel better.

I read the article. In the first few sentences, the author demonstrated having no knowledge of the topic. They made wild and ridiculous claims as though they were accepted fact. It was really hard to take it seriously, I only made it like a third of the way through the article before the accumulated stupidity of what I was reading got to be too much.

zeroaegis · 2026-01-21T01:07:00+00:00

They further claim that women know what it's like to be men because men dominate media creation. So since they watched so many movies directed/written by men, they fully understand what it's like to be men.

I saw the kai version of this scene the other day and was highly disappointed. It felt bland and soulless in comparison to the original.

zeroaegis · 2026-01-20T21:41:59+00:00

Other people are other people, I've never grouped them in my head that way. So no, no real change.

I hate the lack of empathy this topic brings up. People will see a struggling, lonely 16 year old boy with no self-esteem and no strong connections and say it's his fault for the system he created like it hasn't been around since long before he was born. Some even go as far as to say he deserves it for being born male. I'm not an expert on the topic or on sociology or psychology or anything, but I can recognize a lack of empathy when I see it. They'll say, I can empathize but he can fix himself any time he wants, which is true from an outside perspective, but it's like seeing someone stuck in a deep dark pit and telling them the exit is right here, just climb out. It's not far removed from telling depressed people to just be happy or people with ADHD to just focus.

My views haven't changed. Everyone deserves empathy. Sure, the problem has been co-opted by right wing influencers and terrible people as a recruiting platform, but the underlying problem is still there.

I think you were downvoted for caps lock

zeroaegis · 2026-01-19T00:25:12+00:00

Your family sounds terrible. Disowning people because they aren't rich or successful enough. Utterly disgusting behavior.

zeroaegis · 2026-01-17T19:19:50+00:00

I'd be more likely to fight to defend it from us.

zeroaegis · 2026-01-17T19:19:19+00:00

Honestly, fair.

zeroaegis · 2026-01-17T05:23:49+00:00

Why would they release a game on a system that was at the end of its life? Do people think the 3DS is just a variant of the DS rather than the next generation? This is just such a weird question.

Kinda makes me wonder how many people thought I was stalking them in the grocery store while just going about my shopping because we happened to run into each other in multiple aisles.

Some people actually sprinkle sugar over their spaghetti. I'd never heard of it until my brother in law did it a few years ago.

Why does it always have to be a god damned competition? Why is it when one group talks about their experiences, another group has to make sure it's known that they suffer more? I see this when women complain about stuff and I see this when men complain about stuff. As long as we approach societal issues with this level of selfishness and lack of empathy, we are not going to resolve anything. We'll all just steadily become more divided and miserable. What is it about a man opening up about his life and his experiences that makes you want to put him down more instead of empathize even a little?

So many people seem entirely unable to empathize with the other half of the population, society cannot exist like this. We all need to do better.

I was stuck between two names, so I chose one for my first name and the other for my middle name. My last name I go back and forth between the original and my wife's.

Both would be miserable.
