What do you think of trans women? Do you think they try too hard to be "authentic"? I've heard of trans ladies hating and treating naturally born women terribly, I can't say for myself since I personally do not know any trans women. From what I've seen through the trans Youtubers the MTW seem very caricature like. They go overboard with the personality, voice and surgery. Just cause you act hella bitchy doesn't make you "more of a woman".

No. 203224

This can probably go into >>186179

But to answer your question. Science shows trans people are delusional, that there's no way for the brain to realize something -should- be there that you weren't born with( the dysphoria is a mental issue, and 'gender' as in society is a learned behavior. Of course they just parrot what they see in the media.

>Trans women admitting they have a mental disorder that needs to be treated, that know that, even with the most successful surgeries, can't still be women but feel comfortable presenting that way
Okay

>Trans women screaming they're real women, that they want to be women only because they don't "feel" masculine (read as = don't like their gender roles), that they need special spaces, that say that their penis is "a woman penis", that transition only to look like your basic bitch because they just like the aesthetic and lifestyle, that act stereotypically like women (screaming, squealing, "slaaaaayyyy" etc) and standing up for women problems (such menstruating, childbirth)

Exactly. They often say shit like "As a child I always loved dolls, pink, dresses" etc etc

I'm a proud to be woman, I despise pink and I love blue, I love having stereotypically masculine interests (technology/science) and I hate skirts and dresses, not because they're too "woman like" but because I don't feel comfortable with them.
In my house, me and my bf do both chores (we cook, clean etc), does that make me a trans male? Just because I don't like being forced on a gender role?

according to tumblr yes. tumblr style sjw thinking has turned gender as a manner of identifying one's sex into gender roles, meaning you are your gender's gender roles so if you're outside this rigid idea of what gender is, you're trans or something. also, gender is a spectrum somehow. ffs no, gender roles are not set in stone, gender as a concept is just for language, like calling someone 'she' is like saying 'that female' it has nothing to do with gender roles and never has. this shit is a mess.

They've made life exceptionally harder for me as a single cis lesbian. The fact I even have to use the word CIS before the word lesbian makes me want to gag. Not a fan of the pathetic caricature of womenhood they wield and not interested their estrogen shrunken wieners.

No. 203256

i think the real thing is that 'being a man' or 'being a woman' doesn't mean anything in particular. i don't go around feeling like 'i am a human with a vagina that dictates my interests' i'm just -me-. trans people always claim they're in the wrong body or 'feel like x', but you can't. i'm just me and my body happens to be how it is, it doesn't feel wrong or weird, i certainly don't have a mindset of a 'male' just because i like certain things or act a certain way. it's disgusting to think that trans people exist solely based on reinforcing stereotypes now. science proves it's all bunk, so it pisses me off to see these bitchy 'girls', they'll be girls, just mutilated men with shit personalities. it's plastic surgery, that's all. that's why so many people off themselves when they can't convince themselves that destroying their genitals made them better.

My exact way of thinking.
Especially I know this ""trans girl"" (more like autoginephiliac) that failed so much at being a male that now lives as a female.
A stereotypical female.
Buys make up (which terribly clashes with his face) and feminine clothes who fit terribly because you know, he doesn't have boobs or hips and walks with pumps and stuff.
Not saying that those are exclusive of a woman' but imagine waking up one day realizing you're living a lie.
If I was trans, I would rather die that having a fake penis to "blow" or mutilate off my healthy body.
It can be mean and edgy, but sometimes I'm kinda glad they get surgery and then realize it was all wrong.
Cure yourself with therapy for accepting your body, don't mutilate it, you'll never be a real woman, no matter how hard you try or your feelings are hurt.

No. 203280

There are two types of trans - the tumblr and the "sane". Tumblr trans deserves no respect whatsoever, they deserve a smack to the face.
Trans people with actual dysphoria… I'm not sure. I respect them as people and wish them the best, but it's still a mental disturbance. They can be assholes if they're into social justice, and their stereotyping of women is harmful as hell, but I don't exactly hate them. I just think their existence is problematic.

It also makes me mad and unfeminine women are being pressured into transitioning/convinced they're trans. Whatever happened to feminism?

>>203263
>sometimes I'm kinda glad they get surgery and then realize it was all wrong.
It is edgy as fuck but I feel the same. It feels right, in the sense of "a correct/expected outcome to a situation". Not morally good, I don't think it's a good thing for anyone to suffer like that, but it shows that they still have some sense in them.

Ya, I respect them as a person, not as a _trans_ person.
It's still a mental disorder.

They used to have my concern/sympathy, until they all but took over feminism and now you basically aren't allow to speak unless you have a boi pucci. Which is ridiculous, given that women make up 1/2 of the population, and trans people make up such a small minority.

Bring up one single even slightly controversial issue, and you're automatically labelled a TERF.

I also hate how they spread false stats to make themselves look oppressed. Cis women for example are just as likely to be murdered as MTFs. The stats are almost the same.

MTFs also have the same sexual offence rate of cis men, which is why I don't think they should be allowed into women's bathrooms. There have been lots of cases of cis girls and women being raped or assaulted in the female toilets, by men in drag.

It's a mental illness. I don't think I've ever met a trans person who acted 'sane'. I feel bad for the fact they will face a lifetime of painful surgery. self mutilation, depression, dysphoria and ridicule. But they are so misogynistic and envious of cis women, my sympathy has mostly dried up, really. They can still be nice people, but there's always seems to be an undercurrent of resentment and woman-hating anger on their part.

No. 203297

I'm pretty sick of them tbh. I've never met a trans man I didn't like but trans women are such caricatures of women that it's insulting. I hate how intersectional feminism has become the norm and feminists are lumped in with lgbt and blm issues. I've been called a terf and swerf plenty of times but idgaf. Feminism, by definition, is about women. What trans women and black people go through can overlap, sure, but they're still seperate issues and I wish people would leave then that way.

I hear all of this talk that they're "breaking gender norms". How the fuck is perfectly adhering to a gender stereotype in any way challenging it? I'd understand if they were men who dressed like women but they genuinely believe that they're women with all this "female brain" pseudo science. I'm sorry, but your brain isn't wired from birth to want stick on nails or blue eyelids or 6 inch heels. Why has no trans women ever quietly transitioned into a woman who wears suit pants or sweaters? Why are they always covered head to toe in fetish items like pigtails, mini skirts, stocking and basically anything you'd see on a hooker/porn star? I've no problem with people transitioning but maybe do some research and stop relying on porn?

They always carry their misogynistic beliefs over with them no matter how hard they try to insist they were born girls. They always feel so entitled to women's only spaces even though I don't see trans men doing the same. It makes me uncomfortable but ofc a m2f trans person's feelings should always take priority over mine because they were once male and that makes them centre of the universe. I see a lot of hate towards "cis" women which wouldn't happen of it was genuine and not a fetish for them, they'd want to befriend us if they genuinely felt they were one of us. They always stick to themselves in little hug boxes where they can tell each other that they pass well as women because God forbid a one of the people they're trying to impersonate actually gives them some advice or a little tip.

There's a campaign in my country for abortion rights (it's banned here in all cases and punishable by a prison sentance so it's very important) and ofc trans women had to stick their noses into that. Now we can't make any signs that show wombs or other female reproductive parts, we can't write the words and we can't chant about them because ~some women don't have those parts~ okay then WHY ARE THEY AT MARCHES FOR REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS? If you go to one, expect that there will be signs depicting the body parts we're fighting to own control of for ourselves and if you can't control your testosterone then stay at home. Seriously how can they claim to be women who care about reproductive rights when they don't want women to have ownership of their own body parts? Join a pro life group if you want to censor paintings of vaginas and tell women how to live their lives, cunts.

I think "traps" have taken over the idea of transwomen. I think transwomen genuinely want to be left alone and not be harassed. They genuinely ARE women but understand the differences between them and biological women.

What I constitute as a trap are men crossdressing because they fetishize/cater to those who fetishize transwomen or are are lowkey misogynists who think they're better than biological women. They refuse bottom surgery and insist that transphobia is the only reason straight men/lesbian women/etc. don't want to date/fuck them. Traps encourage the idea that transwomen want to "trick" or rape people by surprising them with a dick, increasing aggression against transwomen. They shove themselves into female spaces, screeching about womanhood, speaking as if they have any authority on female biological functions.

I joined a Facebook group for women and girls who are sponsored by Google to go to a female-focused tech conference and this person was in it…what the actual fuck, I'm infuriated. Their profile picture and posts should've gotten them disqualified, but beyond that they get to parade around with young girls when they are obviously a mentally unstable male. I feel very unsafe and I'm afraid of speaking out about it. If you are not passing, you should not be considered for women's scholarships.

i'm "cis" female and I don't feel like a woman mentally or spiritually at all, yet i'm pretty comfortable calling myself female and a woman. The experiences that make me feel more "woman" all have to do with either my female body or the way society interacts with me and vice versa. External experiences. They may influence some of my mind but absolutely not all of it. My entire being and mind are neutral and not static, like I'd assume a healthy human mind should be.

Trans rhetoric is the opposite. They claim the external experiences don't make the gender but the person is the gender. Maybe some people really do feel that way in their soul, but honestly I think that attitude is how a lot of sexism starts in the first place. Mistaking the body and external experiences for the very person, to the core.

I say i'm okay with it, but if i saw a transwoman in the bathroom i would probably leave (what's with the obsession with the ladies room anyway?). Im fine with men being feminine, wearing women's clothing and makeup, like jaden smith.
creepy how they want to be young girls too.

But what i really hate is how they're basically advocating brain sex. I seriously want to understand what it means to feel like and to identify as a woman. It's also pretty presumptuous for trans people to say cis people don't understand gender and that we just don't get it, when they're essentially using the cis gender binary and wanting to become one of us (maybe, in the end, females would be completely pushed out of being a woman and we would have to create a new title for us haha).

Im still a bit on the fence about trans people who pass perfectly tho (maybe it's just my computer screen that makes them look better)

they are mostly misogynistic cunts. I do feel bad for those with genuine gender dysphoria because i think i have it too and it feels really bad but i don't think injecting myself with testosterone and presenting as a caricature of a man is the way to go. It's a trash mental illness with no cure thougn so i understand how some may take that route. I don't support the trannies in gender secluded bathrooms thing or forcing lesbians to date mtf's though that's just retarded imo.

It seems that srs and hormone therapy are the only treatments that have been developed for this mental condition when they're actually pretty shit. I have no problem with someone who wants to present as whatever gender, masculine or feminine. But I think it would be to everyone's benefit if that didn't include radically changing your biology, and trans people were instead treated to accept their body and change it in healthy ways (diet and excercise, for example) and then when they felt comfortable with themselves as people, cosmetic things like FFS could be considered, because then it's just an aesthetic thing. I just think it's stupid to treat a mental incongruity with physical surgery. Where's the logic in that?

and I also think people that haven't existed as a female presenting person through their formative years should have some respect for those who have when it comes to reproductive rights and pay gap inequality. I have no problem with you learning about femininity and assimilating. But sit the fuck down and realise you can never understand. Only sympathise.

so yea and basically everything about trans is based off of gender stereotypes

Hate em. Have yet to see a transwoman who wasn't one of these:
>A stereotypical autogynephilic bimbo fetishist who dresses like a stripper and puts natal women down because "they don't know how to be REAL women, mm-hmm!" (the Bruce Jenner type)
>The variation of the above, but a misogynistic gay man who's super bitter of most men being into women (the Gigi Gorgeous type)
>The weeb ones who are so out of touch with reality that they want to be little anime girls to feel comfortable being pathetic and not adhering to the stereotypical male gender role or because they fetishize the fuck out of being a lesbian (the Chris-Chan type, the attention whore traps)

And because they all were socialized as male and have a male biology that causes them to be more entitled, more aggressive, they want to invade female spaces, pressure lesbians into sex, call women "womb-carriers" because they're ~triggered~ by being reminded that they're not biological women. The list goes on. They're destructive to female spaces and everything feminism has stood for for decades, and these crazy Tumblrinas are doing their best to feed into their mental illness and support their activism. Absolutely disgusting.

No. 203396

I can accept transgender women as people, and I try to use their name and female pronouns, but honestly I don't consider most transgender women real women. I have sympathy for and try to be considerate to transwomen with gender dysphoria, but I still think they're men with a mental condition rather than truly being women. I hope in the future we can get an actual treatment for mental gender dysphoria, rather than telling men to lop their dicks off.
Most of the transwomen I've met online have really blatant tells. So many of them are obsessed with trap, dickgirl, and futanari porn, lots of them are conveniently trans lesbins as well.
Honestly though, if a transwoman can pass well, in both appearance and mannerism I'll pretty much accept her as female. If I can't distinguish her from a cis woman, she might as well be a cis woman in my eyes.

No. 203401

like other anons said, I really wish they'd get better mental help.
If a biological woman went to a therapist and said that they're depressed with how they look, wanted the cosmetic procedures that a lot of trans women get done and become a different person they'd get treated seriously. And of course them doing those things would be highly discouraged.
But a transwoman wants that? Ok you go girl, here's some hormones. Hate your penis? Save up to get it mutilated.
There's a lot of transwomen that just seemed so unhappy with themselves that they wanted to change into a different person. They think being a woman will be easier/funner so they become trans. Then they see that being a transwoman is especially sucky and they're still unhappy.

He hasn't said that but he definitely represents that kind of a transwoman. He actually stated that "the hardest part about being a woman is figuring out what to wear" during a Buzzfeed interview.

Like a few people have already said here, I will treat everyone with equal respect. I will use their pronouns/name they prefer and try to make them feel comfortable. I don't feel like I'm educated enough to talk about the science/biology part of the debate…does anyone have any suggestions where to start to learn more about it?


The only thing that I dislike is the misogyny. I feel like its everyone vs. women sometimes, including trans women. I hate when people say that they are "better at being women than biological women" or "women can't do anything right and there's no use for them anymore becuase you can just get a trap who is more rational and less emotional like real women." It's very disheartening. It's especially weird when men align themselves with trans women just in order to hate on biological women, even though in any other circumstance they would be transphobic as hell. I don't really know how to feel about all of it.

No. 203421

I despise them tbqh, they're as misogynist as any other man but worse because they've wormed their way into our spaces and garnered excessive support from both naive girls who just want to be kind and inclusive, and insane SJWs who think they're more important than real women.

The hatred is partly severe frustration though. The last time I felt like this was when I was a bit of a fedora tipping teenager at a Christian school and just couldn't understand how people could believe such silly, harmful bullshit, while believing themselves to be morally superior and look down on people who didn't. It felt so obviously and self evidently wrong that I couldn't believe people were falling for it. It's like that all over again, except the religion is blind SJWism and the stupid, harmful belief is that gender is defined by anything except your genitals. Anything else is perpetuating gender roles or diluting the meaning of the words male/female entirely.

I'm 100% in support of ignoring gender roles and presenting yourself however you want, but women haven't suffered through thousands of years of misogyny based specifically on their vaginas and wombs for men to tell us they're one of us because they dress like us.

Its been completely negative.

Honest to god, the only two I saw around my university were extremely clockable. Both extremely tall, one lanky with a horse face and the other like a plumber.

I remember sitting in a female restroom stall, doing my business, and I hear someone noisily enter the room, like a wild boar had just stumbled in, not exaggerating. I kinda froze because it was so jarring. It was the plumber looking tranny.

The stall next to me becomes occupied and I see their feet. Their hairy, callused, size 12 feet, complete with sausage shaped toes. They were wearing dirty shoes like pic related and later on when I walked out, I saw them wearing a knee length gypsy style skirt, with THOSE SANDALS. But while they were pissing next to me, I hear all sorts of guttural grunting and heavy breathing, I SWEAR TO GOD. They were so loud.

I see them outside shortly after, their shoes being the obvious identifier. They were standing in the crowd watching some university event. No makeup, unstyled pink hair, and thick rimmed glasses. Their presentation was a goddamned mess and they fooled NO ONE. It was a damn 50 year old man trying to dress like his interpretation of what a 20 something college woman dressed like. And of course he was loud as fuck, guffawing like the middle aged MAN he is.

I have never seen a person stand out so much in my life. He had the subtlety of a brick.

And of course, people like Riley Dennis expect lesbian and bisexual women to fuck people like that.

I feel like through the whole acceptance of transexual people there are just that big bunch of crazy people that are not actually transsexual but thriving from the attention, speshul status and confrontation/rebellion they get from it.
Then there are probably a bunch too, that are actually at loss about their identity, sexual identity included.

Like I personally feel Laverne Cox is a tremendously genuine and authentic example of a transexual woman. Personally I think I can feel how comfortable she feels in her skin being a woman and that it doesnt matter if she gets attention, ass-pats or what not from it, it's just who she is.

I have not the same perception about other transexual people.
And seeing youtube (where all the attention whores go) and the rise of "I regret transitioning" or about generally "detransitioning" I feel confirmed in my perception. I dont know what it is with these people, but I think it is really sad, because they pull the reputation of actuall transexual people down.

exactly, you can't "feel like" any gender unless you are defining your gender completely by gender roles. Since we live in a misogynistic society in which being feminine is seen as shameful for men, they feel like they "must be" female if they have interest and behaviors that fall within roles we've defined as female.

My opinion on the matter has changed a lot. I used to defend them almost blindly, but I guess I started changing my vision when I met a trans girl that was completely batshit insane. Like, patological liar, narc, stroic, the whole package. She would lie about touring in Paris as a musicist, steal videos and pics of prettier/more successful women and claim it was her, she insults everyone under the false pretense that "shes joking", and even tried to make a friend of mine forcefully kiss her while she kept putting her hands under his shirt when he struggled to keep them off. Awful stuff, really. But if you dared to say any shit about her, she would claim transphobia and threat to sue. The worst part is that a lot of people that are "new" to her drama actually thinks she's a super renowed phD (she claims to be so), and the first trans woman to be so (even if it was true, she would have achieved such positions as a male still, so..?) And my hate for her probably sparkled my change of heart, since I started noticing a lot of trans people were just like her.

The other trans chick I know is actually way more chill and doesn't perpetuate the gender roles as much, but she thinks she's super enlightned (she once said she learned a way to count to infinite or measure all the numbers, stuff like that, and said something like "you probably won't understand and think I am crazy though", she also claims to speak a fuck ton of languages and to play thousands instruments) and also… she said she realised she was a trans girl while watching Yuri. Yeaaah. Nothing sketchy about that. But I take this girl over the first one at any time, really.

There are also some annoying ~non-binary~ people at my uni, one of them was actually a super weeb, his actual name was like George (not real name of course) but he introduced himself with his "artistic name" (his own words), which was a weeb Japanese Name. He was actually made fun of a lot at the time, but now he claims to be non-binary and changed his weeb male name to a female one and gets pissy if you don't call him by that and says "you are not respecting his trans identity".

I remember my boyfriend asking something like "If society actually abolishes gender and gender roles, are really going to be trans folk around? Without the idea of gender? And sexuality being solely based on what body parts you find attractive?" Not quoting, but it was something amongst those lines. I could never actually answer it at the time, but yeah. Trans folk cling to an idea of gender. If gender doesn't exist, trans doesn't either.

As everyone else said, I still respect them as people and will use their preferred pronouns or whatever, but yeah. I don't buy it.

Sorry for this being super big.

I've met people trying to explain it like "You can't explain it! You just FEEL it! N-now shut up transphobe!".

tbqh I used to defend the trans issues to death. I was never a full on SJW or a intersectional feminist but I held trans issues close to my heart and firmly believed that brains can be "wired" to the wrong gender. I remember the first time I started doubting the whole idea was when I got stuck in an argument concerning the issue. Someone said that there's no medical proof of transgenderism being biology-based. I was hellbent on proving this person wrong and tried to look for sources that transgenderism was real because you could "have the opposite gender's brain" and didn't find anything. Instead I found studies debunking that.

But ultimately it was the transwomen who made me realize that it's a mental illness and not a biological condition. They were so goddamn demanding and aggressive just like the men they were born as. And I'm not alone, plenty of people realized what a scam the whole movement is after the women's march transphobia accusations.

No. 203492

I have no issues with trans women, as long as they
a. Don't claim to be "more wymyn than bio wymyn" and stupid bs like that
b. Don't support that cotton ceiling shit theory and don't harrass lesbian women for refusing their dick
c. Accept that until they're at a good point with surgeries they can be "misgendered" and shouldn't go to women's restroom
d. Don't be a sjw extremist, don't talk about how they want to kill terfs and don't be a misogynist.

I'm willing to use preferred names and pronouns too, even after "peak trans" because to me these don't explicitly imply female. Lots of kinds of people and things can be referred by names and gendered pronouns, but I'd like the word woman to remain "adult human female" so I draw the line there and of course the word female.

I try to make a distinction between internet feminists, and normal feminists. I think you should try to do the same with trannies because I've met plenty of them who didnt have a single streak of misogyny, and this comes from the pov of someone who also considers them mentally ill.

I've actually met a few of them in my life and it's only on the internet that I see shit like trying to call actual women "uterus bearers" or other sorts of nonsense. Or if someone does, they're not even trannies to begin with. Just people trying to virtue signal.

I agree, there are plenty where I still may not agree or relate to their on their views on gender, but they're nice and un-misogynistic enough to have a civil discussion with and be friends. Generalizing any group is a stupid habit, even if they really really test your patience.

I wouldn't mind the word cis if it was mostly limited to trans forums and other trans circles to be basically a technical way of saying non-trans, but fuck the people who expect women to use it for themselves all the time, like a fucking scarlet letter that implies you're a pwiviweged filthy born woman who should be grateful for her superior female social status!

Sure but that latter point is basically why it came about. You said it yourself, there's an appropriate term in the form of "non trans". But being trans is inherently abnormal, it's like saying "not not normal". So instead you try to force the normal people to define themselves, in an attempt to normalize it.

It's all very transparent, but you get in trouble if you call it out.

True, I just figured cis would be convenient if you're in a context where you need the phrase non-trans constantly but then again, that's why forum-specific abbreviations come about and they're not supposed to be used in discussions outside the forum.

I consider it pretty inherently sexist to think that they can be our gender just by changing how they look (same applies for ftm). It's not malicious but the entire concept bothers me, not just individual trans people and I don't like to make distinctions just to give the 'good' ones a pass.

I'm a stealth transman and I feel guilty saying this (because I'm also trans) but a majority of transwomen make me uncomfortable. Obviously I don't mean every transwoman ever because I can only speak for those I've met directly, but I'm 5/5 for bad in-person interaction and those are some troubling odds.

For me it has a lot to do with how they treat me when they believe I'm cis and how they treat cis women behind their backs. There's this overwhelming aura of petty fakeness and entitlement that explodes the second a cis woman walks out of the room. I know how catty girls can be to each other but this is completely different. There's a lot of hate and spite just because some people are born cis and these transwomen weren't. I've defended cis women only to be told "UGH but she has no idea how good she has it!" There is also a lot of blatant sexism ("do you really think SHE knows how to fix this?" well yes, she does have a degree in the field…) and brushing off whenever a cis woman has a valid complaint ("be grateful your cramps are so bad you're passing out! I'd LOVE to have periods! omg our cycles must be syncing because I'm a being such a bitch right now!"). Every transwoman I've spoken to in person has also hit on me while claiming to be a lesbian, but when I say I'm attracted to men they love to tell me about their girl cock. It's hard to treat them like women because they don't interact like women, nor do they interact with me the way I interacted with men when I presented as a woman. They interact like men who are basing their interpretation of women off of sitcoms, porn stars, or anime waifus, and they treat me how other men treat me. It gives me these uncanny valley vibes. Trying to discuss trans issues feels like a minefield because anything I say can and often will be taken offensively. I've even been scolded for not using cis or trans words to differentiate, when I thought they wanted to be thought of as regular women. The second we got a gender-neutral bathroom at work, it became all about "what else can we change to accommodate the two trans women in this massive business with 5,000 other workers who have managed to exist just fine for x# of years?" Honestly I tried to be supportive in the beginning but now I just feel wary.

Also, this next bit is unrelated to transwomen but is in regards to an earlier question about how one explains why they "feel" one gender or another. Tbh I don't (or rather my brain doesn't) feel like a man OR a woman. I just feel like me and I've always known my body is female. I've just always wanted to look like a man, grow a beard, have a deep voice, and build muscle. I'm content with the balding, the bad smells, and the body hair in strange places because I never wanted to be a living anime boy, I just want to be a more masculine version of me. There's more to it than that, of course, but at it's core I was just incredibly unhappy with having a woman's face and body. I can't really explain why I want to see a masculine man when I look in the mirror, just like I can't explain why a certain color is my favorite or why I like certain foods. It's just that way for me and going against it made me incredibly depressed. Being trans a mental illness for sure and transitioning is a serious step that doesn't help everybody but it has definitely helped me.

I actually agree with most here that they're just people who're uncomfortable in their own skin and use it as a kind of extreme form of social identity change (not dissimilar to becoming a goth or skater or whatever the fuck the kids are now).

The thing about this though is that people will try to look for a justification to label something different or unsettling as unnatural or 'a mental disorder'. We should try not to fall into the 'it's different so it's bad' type of mentality that's so common on imageboards these days.

I do think that it counts as a mental illness to an extent but I also think that in some cases the best treatment is hormone therapy and transitioning. I just don't like how nowadays they're put on a pedestal above us cis women and how we're supposed to constantly cater to their feelings. (no mention of uteruses and women together because god forbid 0,5% of people identifying as women don't have one) Then again, I do have trans friends who are sane people and don't think this way. I think the whole trans right movement mainly consists of young cis people wanting to feel better about themselves and at the same time only strengthening the image of the stereotypical crybaby trans woman and making the situation worse for them.

Trans is literally a mental disorder by definition, though. And labeling mental disorders are inherently negative or something to be ashamed of does people with mental health issues a disservice.

it really does seem similar to EDs in that just wanting to be relatively thin and some dieting isn't a mental illness just like being GNC and wanting to be more fem/masc is't a mental illness, but their level of delusion and never being satisfied puts it over the edge. The reason they're fine with supporting personality disorders and psychosis etc but don't want being trans to be seen that way is because it threatens their goal. If they admit their perception is warped and delusional, people will be a lot less willing to let them go for full surgery when they likely could benefit more from therapy and maybe some hrt but not a lot. Just like I think the reason many anas avoid treatment isn't because they want to suffer and die but because treatment threatens the goal. It's definitely hypocritical but it makes sense to me.

unironically these "lesbian" trans women have a fetish for being seen as women. its called autogynephilia. and apparently trans women have high rates of co morbid npd and bpd, so when they don't get catered to, they explode in narcissitic rage. they get the narcissitic supply of having power over what people say, and they get to be treated as delicate victims and given attention.
this is why talking with a trans woman who is attracted to actual women is so weird.

Nazis had some fucking sick beliefs that resulted in the deaths of millions of innocents. Someone giving their opinion isn't the same as putting anyone who isn't blonde to death ffs.

It's so self-absorbed and dismissive. Like, you never have to experience mensuration, the possibility of pregnancy and deciding how to handle it, or giving birth, so fuck off with that "I'm more of a woman" shit, when the only reason people even see you that way is because they're nice enough to disregard that you lack the very anatomy that makes one female for the sake of making your life easier.

For what I've seen, when they make a penis into a vagina they use the skin of the penis as a makeshift vaginal canal, skin that sweats, gets humid and smells when you don't clean it, not specialized biological made tissue.

Well maybe because to them little cis boys are human beings they can relate to where as little girls are just doll pieces to be ripped apart and envied. To think I used to support these people!

Boo hoo. I cant imagine its anything worse than whats posted on r/incel or any PUA blog. I have seen more mra's pretending to be feminists on tumblr claiming they want all men dead. Like I said I have met some irl delusional transwomen, why is it when people come across something they feel uncomfortable with they have to write it off as fake? There is a lot of violence in this world and transpeople are not an exception. That being said I have come across two online transwomen who are reasonable and nice, but they have been ostrasized from the community and been labled terfs for their beliefs but there you go.

So people are not saying that the tranny that got shot "identified as intersex". Intersex is a very specific thing, even if you believe that gender=/=sex, it falls squarely on the biological side of things.

Per Wikipedia
>Intersex people are born with any of several variations in sex characteristics including chromosomes, gonads, sex hormones, or genitals that, according to the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, "do not fit the typical definitions for male or female bodies".[1][2]

Honestly this is another example of how they're trying to destroy the definition of actual words. The whole gender=/=sex shit only caught on because of that horrible study by John Money, where he tried to force a boy to pretend to be a girl after a botched circumcision, despite his attempts to just live his life as a man.

Bonus Round
>Reimer said that Money forced the twins to rehearse sexual acts involving "thrusting movements", with David playing the bottom role. Reimer said that, as a child, he had to get "down on all fours" with his brother, Brian Reimer, "up behind his butt" with "his crotch against" his "buttocks". Reimer said that Money forced David, in another sexual position, to have his "legs spread" with Brian on top. Reimer said that Money also forced the children to take their "clothes off" and engage in "genital inspections". On at "least one occasion", Reimer said that Money took a photograph of the two children doing these activities. Money's rationale for these various treatments was his belief that "childhood 'sexual rehearsal play'" was important for a "healthy adult gender identity".[9]

Transgenderism is a mental illness and the major players behind this bullshit are mentally ill sexual deviants.

Good fucking heavens thats the first time I have heard that. Not sure how you can identify as intersex, you either are or you're arn't. As you say, its a biological reality.

okay, i didn't feel like posting here at first, but i guess people were genuinely curious about this

for starters: i'm a trans man. i know that my body is female, but something about that just… doesn't sit right with me. it's very hard to explain - but imagine waking up and looking in the mirror in a body that clearly isn't yours. there's just something off about it - something in the body that doesn't belong to you. that's what "feeling like a male" means to me. it means that i feel uncomfortable in my body and that the way i wish my body was, is a male body. for me, it has nothing to do with gender roles. i mean, i probably wouldn't want to wear a big frilly dress or anything like that, but i don't feel super duper "masculine" either. for me it's about my physical sex and dysphoria associated with it.

lolol i know its called dysphoria (i have it diagnosed) but that's what being trans REALLY is. i just wanted to explain that since people here seem to think being trans is just "gender stereotype" this "man in dress" that. dysphoria is a real and actual thing and claiming to be trans without it is stupid

people who say they're trans because they "feel like a woman/man" either are genuinely dysphoric and incredibly bad at expressing themselves verbally or are just co-opting a serious condition

idk if i'd call being trans a mental disorder (that makes it seem like a bad thing and makes transness seem that it makes you inherently worse of a person) but i definitely think it should be recognized as a condition that, depending on the person, either therapy or transition is the best way to deal with.

I hate how trans people get a pass for their mental illness. SRS and HRT is essentially the equivalent of letting a suicidal person kill themselves because it's what they want instead of helping them live happily. Trans people should have the same rehabilitation therapy to live as who they were born as, and no one under 18 or 21 should be able to get therapy of any kind at all because younger age groups have enough issues with figuring themselves out without adding sexual identity into the mix. I used to actually think being trans was legit, but when you see studies and research coming out about how bunk it is, it disgusts me it's being treated as a mental illness with no cure other than invasive mutilation.

I don't see why anyone would want to be a woman other than for sexual or rather masochistic reasons. There are simply no advantages to it. The only woman bonus I can think of is getting treated with more lenience by the law in certain cases (which I think is fucked up by the way) and they won't even get that unless they pass exceptionally well.

Women wanting to be men however is more understandable but just as delusional. If I had been given the choice I would have picked XY myself but you don't get to pick. Becoming a sub-par pseudo man is completely incomprehensible to me.

I strongly disagree with this being labelled as a mental issue.

Its roots are not individual, psychological. It is a manifestation of a collective, societal problem.

You get in debt to finish a college instead of changing the economy, you go vegan instead of changing the industry, you mangle your genitals instead of changing the gender roles.

The thing is, these ultra conservative who are just as much against the trans craze as we are are also against men being feminine and the female equivalent.

That's where the difference between us and them lies. They want to preserve the status quo, they're coming from an emotional standpoint.
We're just being rational. We want these people to get help and accept who they really are and just live their lives like that.

I think conservatives are shooting themselves in the foot if they don't want a guy who thinks he's a woman to just wear a fucking dress and still be able to call himself Steve.

I have no issue with that, just as I'd have no issue with someone making skirts for men. Honestly, though, it seems even more difficult for men to break their gender roles than women, since so few of them care, and the people who care are MRA idiots who aren't fighting for the right things. Women can wear pant and suits and ties and whatever the fuck, but men can't wear skirts without getting insulted by other men (and dumb women), and that's a problem. A lot of men's issues, (male femininity not being acceptable, male rape not being addressed, child circumcision being legal, spousal abuse against males) are all mostly dismissed by other men. All of those things and many others, can be addressed in a way that contributes to feminism. And a lot of this stuff probably contributes to the fetishization of being female.

Maybe it's because of the circles I run in but I get the sense that colorful and flamboyant clothing is losing some of its stigma because of people like the Landsknecht. Hard to attack the masculinity of a guy that ran around with a giant sword and fucked shit up.

>>206470

Probably in part because pants are generally perceived as more gender neutral. Good luck doing hard labor in a dress, but I don't really see any advantages to a dress aside from liking how it looks.

>All of those things and many others, can be addressed in a way that contributes to feminism.

I have some stereotypically feminine traits, and some stereotypically masculine ones, I don't "feel" a special connection to my gender, but I am 100% a woman because I was born with a vagina and 2x chromosomes. That's all fucking being a woman is, the rest is up to you.

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills whenever trans people come up.
I'm a lefty, yet I'm afraid to speak my mind on the internet, for fear I'll be screamed down for being an ignorant bigot because I don't think liking dresses makes you a woman.

In their defence I know that the hormones can make them go sex crazy, therefore seeming that they’re all about the dildos and shit. My first experience with a mtf I was young and it was one of my close friends who was a few years older than me, this was before it was popular to be transgender lol, they went from completely against sex, 100% conservative religious etc to sex crazed atheist. They even went as far as doing cam shows and had an apparent eating disorder as well. Fast forward a few years to them being on hormones and they’ve realllllllly toned down the sex, raging against religion and general “rebelling” I think part of it can also be from being so closed up for so long to finding their new self and going a little wild. I do agree however about stef, just that she has such a young audience that I don’t think she should be advertising sex toys and shit. But c’est la vie.

I was a feminist until trans women came along and started talking over women, saying really shitty things about 'natal women' (the fact that you even have to type that in some places makes me rage) like they deserve to be called she and her because they want it more than we do, or that our pussies stink (hunty, yours is an open wound that gets hairballs and ball sweat smegma, believe that you're doing some massive projection) or that women are literally murdering trannies by calling them trannies. Last time I checked, men who go to prostitrannies are doing the murdering. Women on the whole don't commit violent crime, but lumping chicks with dicks in with real women is skewing crime data and also putting women in prison at risk for rape and murdery by these autogynephiles.

There's this tranny cow that I follow, Chris Scaife, he goes by Angelica Perduta and he's absolutely psycho, like a MGTOW who also decided he was a girl, I can't even understand that level of crazy.

I think the main problem is that therapists and doctors keep misdiagnosing people. Being trans is very rare. There is no way there is a sudden influx of this rare mental condition. Just like how they throw around ADD too much. People changing there minds during transitioning is on the rise because of these irresponsible therapists and doctors and it is a shame. It makes the rare cases look like jokes or nut jobs. That is what needs to be fixed, and places like tumblr are actually hurting the lgbt community by making it a fashion statement or a status symbol.

As for the children. Any parent, doctor or therapist that changes a child should have the kid taken away. They encourage the behavior and don't let the kid live a neutral life. their bodies are now fucked.

I think it's a mental illness, but I'm a loss to suggest even a single way to treat it, or help.
I wasted my entire adolescence and the start of my young adult life suffering from it, but I kind of gave up on it once I realized that the only cure around wouldn't have solved my issues.
It fucked me up permanently in various ways that make having a relationship impossible now, but at least I won't end up in /r/transpassing and in online picture compilations.

honest answer, it would take a lot of time and therapy for you to get over your dysphoria, if you have it, which is the mental illness part of it. it will be impossilbe at this point to find a therapist who won't recommend transitioning in some way. it's one of those things that would take tons of time, self discovery and aided discovery by your therapist and then solutions to come to terms with and heal your feelings and be able to be comfortable in your own body, but honestly, it's industrialized so i don't know you can find a therapist who will do that. maybe with tons and tons of searching, but i'd think most of them aren't quick to say they don't support it since they can get sued.

I live in a backwards country where that level of progressive tomfoolery doesn't exist, fortunately.
The therapist I went to was very professional and proposed I get on antidepressants instead, to check if that was the underlying cause. They worked, but they only made the situation better without addressing the main issue I think.

The problem with curing myself, like I'm sure is the issue for curing any transexual, is that your entire personality is built around it. By which I don't mean that you go to trans pride events and you have a tumblr, what I mean is that you are the 'kind' of person to fall into the illness.

So even if my dysphoria vanished, I'd still be left with emotional needs that I'm not the right gender nor sex to receive, or invoke in a partner or either sex.
But as things are now I'm constantly forced to give up on relationships before or as soon as they start, because the thought of myself in any kind of intimacy (a hug, a kiss, etc) revolts me.

It’s interesting to hear your experience/perspective anon. I’m sorry you’re going through this, I can only imagine how hard it must be.

I had always thought that transgenderism must be some form of trauma response to not being suitably able to receive certain social treatment, ie men who want to wear pretty dresses and bat eyelashes (for a horribly cliche example) and have everyone treat them like cute girly girls. What you’ve said appears to fit that assessment; although I’d be interested to hear what you mean by
>emotional needs I’m not the right gender or sex to receive
& then stating that
>thought of myself in any kind of intimacy revolts me
Surely that’s a sexual need, not an emotional one?

Cool if you don’t want to go into it though. I just genuinely would like to understand from the POV of someone actually dealing with these feelings.

No. 214287

>>214283
>Surely that’s a sexual need, not an emotional one?
Like I've specified right after, I'm talking about stuff like even a hug, a kiss, holding hands, etc.
Of course sex would be traumatic too, but that's an entirely different can of worms, and not what I was referring to.
Just being in public makes me feel repulsive, being touched just amplifies that.

>ie men who want to wear pretty dresses and bat eyelashes

Even with a magical instant sex change I would probably be wearing stuff that's considered tomboyish to be honest, sweet lolita and overtly cute things aren't my thing. Cutest I would go is Mori as far as dresses are concerned.
But I do still have some needs (wants?) that I guess fall into the umbrella of stereotypical gender roles.
Stuff like wanting to be the protected half of the relationship, or being 'showed off' by a proud partner. Which I realize isn't exclusively female, but it feels wrong for some reason, like even if it happened it shouldn't be.

Not that it matters since even if someone saw me that way I wouldn't be able to stand the relationship, just by virtue of me being a part of it.
It's mostly a physical thing, but I've grown with time to find myself repulsive on an emotional level too.

I broke at some point, and apparently developed psychopathy on top of the manic depression. Losing 90% of my ability to feel things made the pain much more bearable, and even with meds it never returned to quite the same level, which convinced me I didn't 'deserve' to be with anyone and force them to be with someone who wouldn't be able to love them back.

My armchair diagnosis of myself is that I was just an ordinary lonely person, but coincidence and other underlying problems mixed like bleach and ammonia to create this.
In an amusing twist of fate I have more friends than I've ever had, but I feel more alone than I've ever been.

That's fair enough. I assumed you meant in a non-platonic manner (like not from a family member or friend); so I suppose it's romantic, the bridge between emotional and sexual needs? Thank you for the further explanation, I understand better now.

That's also fair enough. I chose an "extreme" example to demonstrate the scenario I was imagining.
>wanting to be the protected half of the relationship, or being 'showed off'
>isn't exclusively female, but it feels wrong for some reason
This is the core of what I thought of transgenderism before I read your comment… the idea that these desires are inherently gendered is creating such a mental disconnect that it causes identity trauma, which in turn necessitates a protective response/coping mechanism. (Please don't be offended or upset by any of this, that's not my intention, it's just pseudo-academic musing.)

I'm sorry this has happened to you anon. But I agree with >>214291 - please go back to therapy. You are capable of loving yourself, and loving someone else, and you definitely deserve that. There isn't a right or wrong way to be in this world (unless it directly harms someone else like animal abuse or something). I also have manic depression, so I feel your pain on that one. It's a long hard slog getting off the pills, facing the cause, and truly working it out with yourself, but totally worth it. Thank you for talking honestly with me, and good luck anon.

Plenty of 16 year olds have been tried as adults for severe enough crimes. Murder is pretty severe. Stop being over-dramatic, it completely ruined the (already thin) point you were trying to make.

Do I think a mother should have the right to remove a human being from her body at a point where the child would almost undoubtedly live, but would likely end up with lifelong medical issues? No, I don’t, and any woman who thinks that’s a reasonable thing to do because “not prepared” is a horrible cunt.

I noticed that outside of Tumblr and libfem circles, a lot of troons seem to strongly dislike transbians too.

sage bc this isn't on topic anymore, but most late term abortions are only performed when there's a health issue and it's a life or death thing, not just because the pregnant woman decided she didn't actually want to have a kid last minute. you look foolish arguing about this.

3) You're the one who looks foolish because you also appear to have not read the comment thread, just like the previous anons who have argued with me. I'm aware of why they perform late term abortions, it's clearly not what I'm talking about… if you bothered to read before replying.

Imagine sharing a locker room shower with this person lol

Caption from HER Instagram:
>I had a fitting with a designer for an upcoming photoshoot. After schlepping myself halfway across town to the fitting, I show up and the stylist helping me says "okay so what size are you?" I told him that I was anywhere between an 8 and a 12, depending on the designer. "Oh, we don't have much of that, but let's see what we can do." After fifteen minutes of digging, he hands me two dresses "This one's an 8, but it's stretchy so it might fit? And this other dress is a 10–it's the only one I could find." I contorted, sucked in, tensed my stomach, and pushed all of the air out of my lungs, but the first dress wouldn't zip. Which left the second dress, a boring, dull, black cocktail dress lacking in both personality and structure. "Sorry we couldn't find anything else for you," he said half-heartedly, dismissively, while checking his email, "we don't regularly have anything bigger than an 8 in our showroom" For a second, I started spiraling into a vortex of self-hatred and shame about my body. I almost started to feel ugly. After a minute and a few deep breaths, I stopped myself. There is nothing wrong with my body. I have a great body. I have a gorgeous body. But my body is also one that the fashion industry refuses to recognize as worthy of consideration or beautification. Because I am feminine and large, because I am feminine and have big feet, the fashion industry dismisses me out of the gate. But here's what you should know: If I can't find a dress at your showroom, it's not because there's something wrong with my body, it's because there's something wrong with your brand, with who your brand values as beautiful. On a day that tried to shake my self confidence and self esteem, I'm posting a self-portrait in my underwear to reaffirm just how cute I know I am

I still secretly think it's a mental illness but she's perfectly sane,knows she wont ever be a biological woman, and that most MTFs are retarded so…idk. Maybe transition can sometimes be the "cure"??

trans women are in my feminism
I think that certain specific topics like discrimination women face that are not trans, things that clearly may differ in terms of experiential knowledge we share, but I think it's valuable to include trans people in feminism so we can better understand ourselves as human beings and how we are influenced externally.

disagree. trans people have different experiences regardless of whether people think they're legit the sex/gender they want to be. and they will never have the same experiences no matter how long they act as that gender. saying that, we may as well not even have feminism. i'd much rather concentrate on real men's issues that affect women directly or dismantling gender roles than i would on the issues of a tiny percentage of people that barely affect anyone outside their own group (other than by worming into someone else's)

Going on the topic of it being a "cure", for me personally, being on hormones has done a lot to stabilize my mental and emotional state.

Actually tried stopping HRT for a year, with the idea that I should just learn to accept myself, and it didn't work so I went back. Happier overall.

Transitioning did have the added effect of me being more comfortable with my body. I never hated it before, I just never really recognized it as mine. Now I feel much more comfortable with who I am.

>>215106
It's too darn tiring. I think I only really get riled up about trans issues when it comes in to the news cycle, and even then I burn out pretty quick.

In my experience the best results I've had contributing to the "movement" have been just -going about life, being as normal and sane person as I can be, while being an open resource for people. When people often feel like all trans people are crazy dudes trying to get into bathrooms, hopefully showing that isn't the case is enough.

To answer the OP as a trans woman,

I do think a lot of trans women try too hard to be "authentic". A lot of people seem to get fixated on "passing", about controlling how others see them, and wanting things that they should accept they can't have (e.g. uterus). And it can be incredibly problematic.

A lot of people I see who start transitioning reduce being a woman to a series of checkboxes. (There's also the opposite, where people feel like it can be whatever they dictate)

I'll always remember when I first was open about my transition I freaked out because I had some facial hair growing and my friend chastised me "stop complaining. Katie over there has more hair than you on her lip" and that helped me realize I was focusing on dumb shit.

Hopefully more people grow out of it. I try not to get too involved though because the only thing more tiring than arguing with someone insisting I'm going to the bathroom to molest their daughters is arguing with someone who says the lesbian who said they don't like dick is a misogynist.

No. 215157

Surely feminism happened in the first place because women understood all too well what men’s external influence was on us (ie controlling our damn lives). Now they’re doing it by saying “but I FEEL like a woman” and medically forcing their bodies to appear female. Then women like you go around patronising others into silent acceptance of this. Biological men: always winning, even in women’s politics.

I’m happy for trans people to have a platform, identity, and safe existence in society. I don’t hate them. I’m just not being forced to accept them as a woman just like me, because they aren’t and never will be. They have their own experiences that I would never dare try to claim, so why are they trying so hard to claim (and therefore erase) mine?!

No. 215179

>>215122
I second this. Although both suffer from similar types of discrimination, women and trans women (as in real trans women and not gynofetishists in drag) face different experiences that just doesn’t correlate. For that reason I think feminism works only for XX chromosomed humans. Still, as what it’d be considered a TERF, I think trans women deserve respect and rights.

I disagree with >>215124 though, MTF is different than being male, so I don’t think trans women’s issues have something to do with masculism. Is true that because of their main biology some people might consider them “male”, but they face different experiences that men won’t understand nor identify with.

I’d prefer to label them in a new category. I know many trans women won’t be ok with that, because the struggle to be acknowledged as a real woman is tiring.

Now if we pointed the real problem, we’d be talking about gender issues, male violence and machism.

I'm AGP and honestly I can't apologies enough for this species. Half of them only transition because they want pussy and retain the violent tendencies of men. Shit I'm not even pretending to be an actual women, but to honest, ever since I've transitioned, the behavior of men I never saw before has sickened me. Fucking creeps constantly coming onto you and thinking you're sexual active and ready to fuck any random stranger 24/7. Then you've got these abomination "transbiens" coming onto you and getting pissy and saying you're not a real trans person for not having sex with them.

Honestly, at this point I don't even want to be associated with trans people anymore. I'd rather just be called a femboy or trap, because these hons are even more misogynistic than normal men because they think they can get away with it.

The issue is with transbiens. And I'm not being transphobic or anything, obviously not every transbien on the planet is like this, but they completely lack introspect. If you're attracted to men, you end up being forced to interact with them from the perpective of an object of their lust, and you realize things you never saw in yourself before, like how men treat rejection like its some existential horror you've intentionally inflicted on them out of malice rather than you just not being interested in that particular person or them acting like an arsehole and putting you off. Its even more unfair because THEY forced you into that spotlight: you either say yes and go along with something you really don't want to do or say no and get treated like a piece of shit. Transbiens just don't get that experience and its doesn't force them to confront the reality of their own behavior.

As a man you're blinded to that, but if you actually go out and date men and you're on that side, it reveals to you a lot of misogynistic behavior you'd never even considered. That's why I tell any /r9k/fag that rants about how women have it easy because men throw themselves at them to go gay for a day. And men know this even without dating men, you must have seen the abject fear and disgust straight men have of homosexual men in prison or in a bathroom coming onto them. But they somehow can't look at their own behavior through that lens. Its fucked up.

>>216017

>I'm super curious now of your experiences; have you met any of these types of guys ? What were they really like?


I've seen them at gay bars, crossdressing men who really put no effort in at all and think they're immune to rejection because it would be transphobia. This one "girl" came up to a female friend of mine and started getting really close and whispering things. She's really not interested in sex (especially with some 50 year old in very bad drag) and I could see her shaking her head. He persisted anyway so me and my friends put our arms between them and just said "no no no". He looked a bit shocked but then went off. I've lso had one experience where I was alone with another transexual and she kept trying to put porn on. I'm not a prude, but watching with someone I barely know at a party in someone else's bedroom isn't something I wanted to do. I told her I was uncomfortable with it, but she just kept saying "I'm just curious, I've never watched it before". Yeah right. In the end it started to turn into a bit of an argument, so I just said "look, no, I'm not interested" and left. But this is the thing, they don't understand how fucking awkward it is. The worst thing is, I would have been interested in her if it wasn't plain sex was the only thing on her mind.

But the worst thing is, men and trans-females know this. Like I said before, being raped by a stronger man they can't do anything against is a frequent topic of discussion among men, and they almost always say something like "I'd kill myself before I'd let that happen". So surely they must understand that's how it makes women feel as well?

I don't care if they're more comfortable that way and just going about their lives. Kinda bothers me that in the UK they can get all their surgery for free though or gofuckme'd.

being trans makes no sense because gender is learned behavior and that learned behavior is cultural/social. sure, you can have dysphoria, but it's a mistake and means you should be treated for your mental illness, but people learn their gender and it's different between cultures, it's not static. i don't get why people don't get this, there's no defending this.

No. 221093

Continuing on my thoughts from >>214262 >>214287
I hope I can express it clearly since I find this concept kind of hard to explain


I honestly don't understand the point of transition when you know it's not going to be perfect.

Transition is supposed to be the "cure" to dysphoria, and to make you more compatible with the role in society that you feel you fit into, right?
With that said, what is the point if it's going to end up anything less than 100% perfect?

If you're doing it for yourself, you're still going to shower, see yourself in the mirror, see yourself when changing, and always see a man face on a man body, with all the once just 'normally manly' traits amplified x100 by being forced in a womanly context, making the transition not only useless, but actively harmful. So even the "I'm just doing it for myself!" excuse doesn't hold water, when every single effect you could be getting "for yourself" doesn't happen in a failed transition.

If you're doing it for others and society, anything less than 100% passability is not going to get you love, it's not going to get you the treatment you want, it's not going to get you into other circles of friends, it's not going to give you anything you couldn't get before transition, aside from maybe some fake respect from whoever feels like humoring you or creepy stalking from fetishists.
But the one thing you're never going to get is being treated like a real woman.

So why?
Why do they do it?
What could you possibly get out of ruining your life in exchange for absolutely nothing?
If no one loved you as a man, no one is going to love you as a publicly insane wreck.

If this is the case with ftms and transition is bad for us can I maybe ask you anons for advice?

I’m bisexual, but I don’t hate women or my sexuality and don’t feel like I fetishize gay men either, although sometimes I wish I wasn’t attracted to men because I’ve had “fujo” thrown in my face for calling a (3D) guy hot (I don’t even watch anime or read gay fanfiction so Idek how I’m a fujo to begin with?). And I don’t feel like my dysphoria has anything to with gender roles, because while I’m definitely not feminine I’m not particularly “masculine” either. I definitely agree with radfems that gender isn’t a feeling, at least it isn’t for me, I just feel like myself.

I was abused as a child. Not sexually, but physically, by my father and brothers. The men in my family are bordering Dick Masterson levels of misogyny but I don’t know if that has anything to do with it because my sister is perfectly fine being a girl despite resenting them as much as I do. So maybe I fit into the first category because of my “daddy issues” but as I said before, I don’t hate women.

My body dysphoria started in childhood, as far back as age 5, although I had other forms of BDD (I used to think I was a gross fatass as an 8-year-old despite being very underweight for my age). Puberty was traumatizing, I went through a major depression during the physical changes and would hunch my shoulders and wear shorts over my jeans to hide breasts and hips. But I had no idea why I felt that way, and pronouns and stuff didn’t bother me until I dug through the internet and learned what being transgender was later in my teens. Suddenly, every time I heard the words “girl” or “ma’am” or “she” it felt like a hard kick in the chest. I began to despise my body even more than I did before, which is saying a lot.

I live in a liberal area so most people, especially medical professionals, are accepting of trannies, although my family and some older family friends are not. They’ve been really nasty about it and I’m typically screamed at when I try to talk about it. Every time I manage to get them not to scream, they always tell me that I’m being a burden on other people and that I should just be a tomboy to make it easier on everyone else. I may sound selfish for saying this, but I don’t understand why nobody ever seems to ask me why I feel the way I do? It’s always them saying “make life easier for US by getting over your delusions” and not listening or offering any advice after that.

I hate having gender dysphoria more than anything. It’s ruining my life. Most of the world and especially other people in the LGBT community keep telling me I’m a stupid, delusional freak because of my mental illness. Gay men are especially nasty toward me because they’re convinced I’m trying to trap them just by existing (I’m not). I’ve never gone out and hit on gays but they still accuse me of doing it just because there was one time another ftm on Grindr messaged them and it pissed them off.

I would give anything to just be able to accept being a tomboy, because I like tomboys. I’ve spent hours and hours trying to convince myself to just get over my dysphoria but I can’t seem to help myself.

If transitioning is bad for me, what do I do? My psychiatrist, primary care doctor, and every therapist I’ve talked to about this has basically said “TRANSITION. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY TO COPE.” So I’ve already begun the transition, and it’s put my mind at ease a bit, but the mental anguish from the hate and discrimination I’m getting is equally as stressful or even worse than the pain I feel about my body.

Sorry for the tl;dr blog, but I can’t find any IRL help and most other websites are filled with unhelpful conservatard trolls and I feel like although people on this site are strongly anti-trans, you still seem like the only people who have a shred of empathy.

why do you feel the way you do?

when your family say that you they just want you to get over it, that is not them hating you, it could be one of many things. a lack of self confidence is very off putting and irritating to people. and if it has been going on for years they may be fed up with it. if they dont know how to deal with it they could be acting from an insecurity.

Homosexuals are usually the most insecure people of all. they either suppress themselves or go over the top as a front to find from their own insecurity. they may have been burned in the past but they are well known to over-exaggerate and act like "drama queens". relying on them for advice is not the way to go. either is surgery and meds. if you dont know what you want that wont help you.

from the way you write you seem feminine so i dont think you are a tomboy. perhaps you are overthinking it. try and go outside, mentally relax, not everyone is judging your body unless you are fat.

how old are you?(robot)

Anon, I get where you're coming from. I suffered of gender dysphoria since early childhood. I wanted to be a boy so bad, most of my friends were male and my brother was closer to me than my sister. I didn't get along with girls at all. As a teen I realized I was a lesbian and tried to be as androgynous (or masculine) as possible, and in my late teens I found out about transgenderism. Everything clicked and ever since that I was contemplating transition for almost a decade. My dysphoria got worse and worse during the year, every time someone called me a girl it hurt like you described. I fantasized about going on T, getting surgeries, what my male name would be, how I would come out etc. I even told about it to my mother and she was supportive of it. When I came out to my friends, they all told me they'd accept me whatever I decided to do. Taking showers was awful, I hated seeing my body. I started wearing a binder, loose-fitting clothes and all the rest. Getting ready for transitioning, basically.

It wasn't until the recent tranny craze hit, and especially when the transwomen started invading female spaces and I realized how strong of a connection I felt with the female gender when that storm hit. I saw other girls who were convinced that they were FTM. I met post-op FTMs who regretted going through with it. I read up about how there's no biological proof for "transgender brains" and saw people making pretty solid arguments against the trend. That's when I grew dubious of my "gender dysphoria". It took me a long time to really meet my own traumas and realize how I was basically the type 1-a described here >>221107 . I was bullied for being a tomboy, I was insecure about my looks not being traditionally feminine, other girls never accepted me as one of their own, as a teen I was sexually harassed by older guys, I admired the fantasy males in female fiction, I was ashamed of my homosexuality so I wanted to be a "straight guy" instead of a gay girl.

Every woman should be allowed to present as whatever they want and exist like they are without being harassed or told that they're "too manly". It really hurts
to see younger girls go through what I did. They have the exact same issues I had and people are telling them to go on T and cut their tits off at 16. That is insane and ridiculously regressive. I suggest you look into your assumed gender dysphoria more with your doctors. Bring up the fact that there might be something else. I had my memories buried deep, deep inside in my subconsciousness and that's why I spent years and years trying to pass as a guy and trying to gather enough courage for transitioning. But it was definitely worth it.

>That's not true though. Unless you're intersex (rare mutation) having a Y chromosome means you are male.
Do you actually know how sex chromosomes work beyond a surface-level high school understanding? Literally anyone who studied biology or anatomy would disagree with you.
>>221067
>yeah and testes are male and ovaries are female, your point?
And a fully transitioned transwomen has neither, your point?

Ty anon, it's interesting hearing that there are other people who suffered this that recovered. Problem is, I'm on T and some of the effects are beginning to take place. My voice has deepened considerably, Adam's apple popping out. I don't know if I can ever go back at this point, even if I wanted to.

Honestly, as much as my activist "peers" hate radfems and incite violence against them, they're some of the most understanding people I've talked to.
