Are you a tranny?

You totally missed the meaning in what I said.


This has a double meaning in how I used it. It is acceptance for both/any way of life. You only think I meant it in an anti <insert way of life here> way.

I have no problem with what ever people want to be. Just don't want people to confuse the youth before the youth can grow old enough to make educated and natural decisions for themselves.

The very fast that this is a topic of national perhaps world wide debate means that these ideas are being introduced to young audiences who have not fully developed.
i can't stop bad parenting but I think we need to look towards the future rather then what my physical being is now.

A perfectly normal opnion. I can't imagine not fixing what is wrong with me, and for a very long time i was very afraid of it and afraid to be. Not because of your thinking, but because we didn't know anybetter and because "trans people were perverts and clowns" (well some of them are) but I think the greatest fear for people is that "it's ok to be trans" and in the long run that won't change what gender anyone is going to be.

Because in a world were transition didn't exist and being "trans" was bad and being a transvestite or / cross dresser/drag queen or just plain gay or queer was bad, it wasn't an option and even though those things don't have much to do with my actual condition and circumstances. I didn't know any better and so as a trans woman, i was hurt badly because of the fear of transness and transphobia because it was so bad to even talk about it. I didn't even realize I could have GRS till the 2010's. Talk bout levels of ignorance. Not everyone feels the need to transition as strongly as I did. And certainly kids need to take their time and people need to understand and learn to defend themselves before being given magic pills and surguries. And a lot of the trans women I talk to agree that in most cases it's medically neccissary to give people experience full time. It was horrific trying to be full time without any of the neccissary medical procedures I needed, but at the same time, it really had to be done in my case there was no "not transitioning" for some ok... but it's pretty obvious when someone needs to vs they just want attention or are acting out or confused, and there is A LOT that can be done to work towards transition, especially the younger someone is that doesn't require medical intervention that is permanent, and so, finding a balance is very important because certainly people could attempt to transition for all the wrong reasons.

Now I know a trans woman in DC who has commented that a there's too many trust fund babies who had GRS and aren't happy/didn't know what the needed, are entitled to being XYZ, and I get that sentiment, but that's not a problem of legality and information freedom, that's a problem of cultural me-too-ism and if it wasn't trans it'd be something else. Obviously those people weren't cisnormative but because we have really bad child abuse and neglect problems in this country, those kids can't make informed choices and some parents are batshit crazy [You must be logged in to view images.

besides i'm pretty sure as far as trannyness goes the cats pretty much out of the bag ... so it's like if you know how to make nukes, do you hide that information and destroy it so you can make nukes all over again, or do you use that knowledge and power for something good, like space exploration (cassina probe, fissionable batteries yo)

Needless to say that's a group effort and there's going to be some hiroshimas and nagasakis but you can't control other people, so trying to control the information is the wrong way to go about protecting people, the best way is to inform them, then give them the help they need to make rational decisions.

so we need to use trannies to turn them into rocket fuel. That's the best idea I've heard yet.

I'm from the US, I don't know much of whats going on in germany, some good some bad. I know of one trans person in germany and they have a hard time. But I also know of other trans people there less in person who are rather fine, succesful.

I know there's some really bad people everywhere including trans ones, being trans doesn't make someone good. Not sure how people in germany are coping with all of it.

I think the scariest thing is someone who wants to speak for a woman, or someone with gender dysphoria, who does not. I've seen a bit much of that, and sorry to be mean, but some of the cross dressers / transvestites her in my support groups are just plain disturbing. Yet, no trans people will fight to delinate themselves from that because solidarity together, and freedom of expression is good for us, even if some of it can be dark, and in my personal opinion really sexist and fetishistic.

Its going to be really creepy when it comes out that you are not truely a trans, but just role-play one on P99 forums

Look at Caitlyn Jenner, forcing people to respect the pronouns and then saying he is not comfortable with transition and is going back to male in the next few years.

He poisoned so many people with his vanity. He masked himself under your agenda, and you and your community still support him.

Terrible.

wow,. I am a fanboy of warhammer 40k. These videos make me cringe. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

yeah, cringy, i would never want someone to hear my voice but a las some people arent as willing or able to blend/stealth and thats were genderqueer expression and most non-binary people either settle for that and sort of move on with life, or whatever.

I'd say that if I had to rate myself on a scale of 1-10 dysphoria/not able to function/live as a man wise i'd be close to 8 somewhere. That motivates me to be as binary and "cisnormative" as possible. It's been really really rough on me, and in fact this is the last place were I really care to even be "openly trans".

Some trans people can't cope, can't deal with it, no amount of transition can help them, due to circumstances and the world in general or their own in-ability to acheive what they want, set realistic goals.

It hurts pretty bad sometimes when people tear me down, don't care to understand were I'm coming from, or can't and kneejerk reaction back in a mean and cruel way.

At least I have the ability to IDGAF and to for the most part isolate myself from other peoples judgement. Otherwise I would have never made it this far, male, or female.

Sadly not a lot of trans people have the same fortune as me, or others, and the jury is still out there's a lot I still struggle with as a woman and as a human being suffering dysphoria and having a body that doesn't match my own internal mental scape.

On the bright side, I do pass well enough, and have some cis female privilage which, while not in the least the goal of transition, gives me hope, and helps me face the things I can't fix or change or overcome right now.

[maerilith]

Also I never really liked having Caitlyn represent us. There are so many better people out there. The Wachoski's for example. IMO or less known stealth transwomen.

There's a transwomen who stealthily transitioned and became the CEO of a major corporation and did very well for herself.

I first met a really cool trans man here in FL who'm I lost touch with but they were "very average" in every way, but living a life, that was better then many men.

It's just another set of problems really for trans people to face on top of normal problems. The worst of it is when others go out of their way to just sheep sheep meep meep the same old biggoted save the children and women crap from the last 50 years. Transness isn't going away, even if he next 10 generations killed every trans person in death camps, it still wouldn't go away because it's not just a cultural problem. Though how we treat people is.
