A discussion for those dealing with issues around their gender identity. Sharing information and etcetera is encouraged.

Personally I'm AFAB but sometimes dissociate with my gender, it's very confusing and I try not to talk about it to avoid being called a Transtrender and so on.


Optional questions.

>AMAB or AFAB?


>What are your thoughts about neo-pronouns? Do you think that they're acceptable to use?


>Do you sometimes invalidate your feelings? What do you think is the cause for your feelings?


>Do you feel that you're outside the gender binary?


>Do you have any plans on transitioning/Have you already made transitions?


>Do you think that Tumblr has improved/worsened transgender issues?


>In a perfect world, what would you want people to see you as?

>AMAB or AFAB
i'm female and not going to use your dumb acronyms to erase biological reality

>What are your thoughts about neo-pronouns? Do you think that they're acceptable to use?

using anything other than 'he', 'she', or 'they' is retarded. i mean even 'they' is retarded, but how retarded do you have to be to believe that 'they' isn't speshul enough for your snowflake soul?

>Do you sometimes invalidate your feelings? What do you think is the cause for your feelings?

what

>Do you feel that you're outside the gender binary?

no because that whole concept is based on idiotic gender stereotypes. ohhh i have a vagina but i like video games and have short hair, its impossible for me to be a woman, i must be genderqueer! i have a penis but i like to paint my nails, whoops im transgender now

>Do you have any plans on transitioning/Have you already made transitions?

no and eventually surgery/hormone treatment for gender dysphoria will be looked upon with horror and regret like lobotomies are now

>Do you think that Tumblr has improved/worsened transgender issues?

tumblr makes things more public and allows more people to see the truth behind the issues they blindly support. ask an average liberal about transgender rights and they'll say "hmm, i dont know much about it but i think they should get the treatment they need and not be discriminated against"… then show them the absolutely beyond-the-pale shit that trannies get up to on the internet. and the way that impressionable 13-16y/o are manipulated into thinking they are trans because they don't conform completely to 1950s style gender roles. that's how you create a TERF.

>In a perfect world, what would you want people to see you as?

a normal person and not an attention-whoring political spectacle

pic related it's what most MTFs jack off to

The hostility in your post is pretty weird to me, it's not like a ragtag group of transgender people killed your entire family or kidnapped your first born son and made him your daughter.

No. 27459

>>27457
how can you not understand it tho?
I agree with her.
TUMBLR TRANS people are an insult to real trans people. They think trans is just a label everyone can use.
They think women who love "boyish" things are genderqueer or trans smh that pisses me off so much.
Trans people also cope with a mental illness.
Those people are the reason why the entire LGBT community get so much hated. They think you can choose your sexual orientation and that everyone can be trans smh

just remember you can only be trans if you have body dysphoria (im sry for the spelling)

No. 27464

>>27459
"Real" trans people are just as deluded though. It's like when adult babies say stuff like "I peepee in my diapers but people who poopoo are ridiculous and ruining our name!", it's an imaginary distinction the community made up for themselves and normal people just think everyone is sick and wrong.

Yeah, but that person's obviously not of the anti-Tumblr SJW trade, they're of the "MtF don't exist, it's all just male sissy fetishists!" trade.
Makes me wonder what the fuck happened to them for them to be so angry and hate-filled over nothing.

How is it different than some girl getting boob jobs or w/e? These people get PS to look like a woman and they become happy and comfortable with their life.
How the fuck is this wrong or terrible and how retarded do you have to be to compare this to lobotomy?

I just hate how people get labeled as transphobic if people dont want to date them. its just a preference, nothing personal

No. 27472

Mangling your genitals, fuckin up your body chemistry and changing your entire gender =/= a woman augmenting her already existing breasts.

Also boob jobs are usually reversible (with some scarring obviously), you cannot de-transition.

They exist in the sense that otherkin really exist: they're totally deluded about their bodies.

This isn't possible though. The plastic surgery and hormones are just very expensive and elaborate LARPing.

amab/afab are terms for intersex people whose genitalia are ambiguous, thus the doctor "assigning" them their sex based on what they think their genitals most look like. It's not for the use of the majority of people because what sex we're born is obvious. Just like people aren't assigned white or black or asian, they simple are.

In a perfect world "gender identity" aka a personal feeling that influences hobbies, clothing and aesthetics would be obsolete because it's fucking stupid.

I'd like to see a well researched, safe and effective treatment of sex dysphoria that doesn't involve pumping people full of hormones and mutilating their bodies.

nope, trans suicide rates are higher after transition

that's the main reason why i'm against it. you don't see women trying to kill themselves after they get fake tits

No. 27480

yeah despite all the complaining that tumblrites do about cultural appropriation, they're perfectly happy to use a term for intersex people to make their normal selves sound more edgy and ~progressive~

OP.
I didn't know that before, I'm so used to hearing the term being used when referring to transgender people that I assumed. Guess it's the same as the term transethnic being used differently.

I believe in talking about said issues rather than refferal to a clinic which is the common case for most people, hence the creation of the thread.

To me, when people talk about when people like feminine and masculine things so = genderqueer, I tend to think of it in an inherent sense rather than just things associated with being a boy or a girl. I'm not really able to explain in in great detail. Body dysphoria relates to this inherent feeling of not being the gender you were born as.

As a side note, this thread wasn't intended to have everyone coming out as a space-kin pangender or whatever. I want to know about others who have similiar feelings who wish to share them. I'm not automatically against other viewpoints or have any intention to dismiss them.

This trans person was using the woman's locker room at a Planet Fitness gym. A woman felt uncomfortable and complained to the gym management and her membership was revoked for violating the gym's 'no judgment zone' policy.

Bear in mind that there are 12 year old unaccompanied girls in gym locker rooms too.

This person is not trans, neither does he identify as female, he's just a sissy. If you're trying to equate the two, you just shot yourself in the foot with that screencap.

You're right, I should've said "changing".

Like someone said in another thread, treating gender dysphoria with surgery is like treating anorexia with lipo.

The point is that this guy used being transgender as an excuse to stand in the woman's locker room like a fucking creep, and got someone who was legitimately uncomfortable with this thrown out of the gym.

So if you allow people who are 'in transition' into what are traditionally women-only spaces what's to prevent the sissy types from doing so?
What is to prevent the sissy types from claiming to be trans for more privileges?

Honestly claiming to be transgender for extra privelege points is really only going to be Tumblr-exclusive for the most part. In a legal sense, there exists really only anti-discrimination laws and those won't help in day to day life.

But with the "Who is really Transgender and who isn't?" debacle, it's hard to say who is and who isn't. If you go strictly by body dysmorphia, you'll be labelled as truscum and sent packing. Which makes me wonder if the current way these issues are handled will ever improve from here on out.

Except that a biological woman got her gym membership revoked for expressing discomfort about biological man in locker room, not in San Fran or NY, but in bumblefuck MI.

I sometimes disassociate with my gender too like OP. It's weird. Some days I'm fine looking like a normal, just tomboyish/plain girl, and some days I really want to be a man. I think it the main reason is that I'm pretty socially isolated, so in my mind I want to try and emulate what I would naturally be attracted to.

However, I don't feel strongly about it for it to have a negative emotional impact on me, so I'm not going to do anything about it.

Planet Fitness is a joke of a gym anyway. I hope that woman finds a better place to work out.
