Before you went full time did you make your friends switch between names and pronouns depending on how you were presenting or did you use female pronouns while presenting male? Also why has Hunter X Hunter not got the recognition it deserves as the supreme anime?

Fajita Fiesta posted:have you talked to your therapist about your need to constantly attention whore / feed your narccism / seek validation by posting your pics and posting about how much of a troon you are all over the forums at all times It can happen quite a lot. If your body and life was off-putting and caused you discomfort until you did something to address it, as you became more comfortable with yourself you'd be more inclined to show yourself off. People who lose a lot of weight do it, people who get into body building do it, people who have achieved something in life after a lot of work like to show it off, etc. It's pretty normal behavior and I'm surprised when people don't understand it. As life continues most people just get back to living their lives without any need for external validation.

Moridin920 posted:I dunno I think people are naturally curious about poo poo like that. Genitals aren't really irrelevant in a discussion about gender are they That's the problem though. Medical science has progressed long past any issues with genitals when it comes to trans people. For trans people the genital issue is private, something for doctors and partners and mostly incredibly boring. It has no real bearing on pretty much any issue that the general public needs to know about or care itself about. Also, it's really loving immature for someone to ask about dongs. There's far more interesting things about the trans experience. Only one of my friends has asked me about my genitals, and that was more about concern with cost and availability of surgery. And apart from that one other person has asked me and I told them what I've told them what I'm telling you, it's irrelevant to pretty much every everyday concern, a boring question and unless you want to run the risk of insulting trans people you shouldn't really ask. If you have a question beyond, "Lol, are you getting your dick cut off?" ask, but chances are the answer is really mundane to most trans people. Also, it's probably irrelevant on the level that you have absolutely no connection to the person you're asking, so why should they bother answering you. But if you have a question that can't be answered by a simple Google or a little bit of thought, ask away.

Willias posted:at what point were you like, yup i'm def trans and it isn't some other psychological thing that makes me feel this way? I "accepted" I was trans when I was 27. I was sitting in female clothing in my room and just thought, "This is loving stupid, who else but a trans person would be doing this and dreaming of somehow waking up female. Stop hiding in your room wishing for impossible magic to happen and deal with this like an adult." So I went and saw a therapist. He agreed after a few sessions that I'm trans, or at least meet the criteria for hormone treatment. I of course kept thinking about whether I'm trans or just crazy for a while. I did a lot of thinking about what would make me happy in life, how I would like to be addressed and treated, how I would like my body to be, how I would like to be seen. I came out to people, and went a few places in "girl-mode." And all of that added up to me being comfortable with the idea I'm trans. If I wasn't all of that would have been a hellish experience rather than providing me with comfort. There's no "trans-test." There's no indicator that you're definitely trans. However it all makes sense and makes me feel comfortable. I was honest with doctors and therapists, and honest with myself. That amounted to their being no other issues and me being trans as the correct answer. I'm comfortable with that answer and although I know it means I'll have a difficult life it's something that's right for me.

powerful weedlock posted:sounds like you really should have gotten a second opinion. who the gently caress trusts a doctor when they jump to semi-permanent or permanent treatment options essentially right out the gate? it's like getting really minor lung cancer or something that got caught at almost the earliest possible moment and then he just throws up his hands and says 'double lobecetomy and a transplant is the only possible solution!!!' while staring w/ drool coming out of their mouth at an insurance receipt. I do have a second opinion. The endocrinologist required it before he would treat me. I also have my own opinion which I came to after a lot of consideration.

Sabel posted:Which restroom do you use and have you had any restroom-related incidents I'm not very far along the transition process. The only place I've been to for any decent length of time is my local bar where I know the people. I generally use the male bathroom because I know I won't get beaten up in there, however I use the female bathroom if I'm wearing a skirt as there's no lock in the male cubicle. Using bathrooms terrifies me as it's the most likely place for a seriously bad reaction. I've avoided going places because of it. I've never had an issue using a bathroom in my local.

The last game I played was The Wolf Among Us and you play as a dude in that.

Sabel posted:Thoughts on "chasers"? In the vast majority of cases they're creepy as gently caress. They fetishize trans people and treat trans people like objects. An example is at a trans club where two of the trans people there were presenting male but most female. The chasers would come up to the group and completely ignore the male presenting people (even though it was obvious we were trans.) This of course didn't go down well with any of the people and they were told to gently caress off. I have no objection to people being attracted specifically to trans people, as a fetish or kink or anything like that. I do have a problem with creepiness. I've talked to a few "chasers" online that aren't creepy at all. They're just normal people who have a thing for trans people. I wouldn't call them chasers though as that's a pretty negative thing.

boom boom boom posted:So each professional women's sport could have some sort of commission to determine whether or not potential trans player are sufficiently a woman? This is pretty much what happened at Olympic level. There's certain criteria that have to be met (I believe it's two years post-surgery and constant female hormone levels.) For many of the organisations that have policy they maintain that criteria throughout all levels, other organisations loosen the requirements as the competition level decreases. There are also a lot of organisations where there's no "competition" as such and games are recreational and their concerns are far less with some simply about addressing safety with regards to muscle mass, etc.

VanSandman posted:Are there more troons per goon than there are transfolk per capita in, say, the United States and why do you think that is? From entirely anecdotal evidence I think there are more troons per online capita than real life capita. A lot of troons are hidden away, shy, etc. and are naturally drawn to online communities even if they're not very nerdy people (they don't play games, don't watch animes, don't read comics, etc.) I remember reading about this back in the early 90s so it's probably quite well documented. Sherry Turkle, an MIT professor has done quite a bit on online communities. Her book that I read is Life On the Screen.

boom boom boom posted:yeah, Culture is best. but it was flat out stated that anyone who just stuck with one genderwas considered a biit of a weirdo, and you switched back and forth as the mood struck you, so I don't think there were any trans characters From what I remember most people seemed to settle down into one gender for longer periods as their live's progressed. If there was a magic pill that switched me from cis male to cis female at random I'd probably be down with that. Presuming that being cis in one particular gender doesn't trap you there with a lack of desire to switch to the other. But I guess that's not in the science behind the Culture.

Jim Rustler posted:I hope just because he killed some people, you don't think im comparing trans people to him, that's not my intention. just his body language and the way he sorta "holds" himself, I dunno, he seems like a very confused guy, sexually, that seems to have repressed something so far down that it turned into annihilation. I honestly don't know. It's very hard to e-diagnose people with the trans. There are obvious signs like people being unhappy with their gender, or gender roles, ideation about switching genders, "cross-dressing," etc. but unless someone actively decides to progress themselves along a trans life route it's not really possible to know. There's lot of very happy men who are just incredibly twinky or camp. And equally there's tonnes of stories of incredibly masculine seeming guys who turn out to be trans.

boom boom boom posted:Hey, serious question, my understanding is that dysmorphia is a mental illness, and transitioning is the only effective treatment, but what if someone developed a pill that made you be perfectly comfortable in your body(well, in your gender, not even a lot of cis people are perfectly comfortable int their bodies) with no other side effects. would you take it? I don't think I would. It's something that makes up a fundamental part of me. It informs my thoughts and being and I'd be extremely worried that changing something so fundamental to me would change me completely. I know that being trans has brought and will bring me a lot of problems but it's a part of who I am. I don't think there's any direct comparisons but uneasy parallels could probably be drawn with offering a "gay cure" pill and maybe with deaf people and deaf culture. Basically I am a transgender person, which is a different set of experiences to a cisgender person. I'm not sure I could happily go from what I see as a female identity to being happy with a male body without a total change in who I am.
