People are different. “I used to be a boy” is the way I generally frame my own transness. I know where I came from.

We’re so absolutely downright uncommon. There aren’t enough of us!

I might counter that in my area with wonderful IC LGBT clinics and trained trans-care providers it does go about that way. I made my first call and then started HRT a little over two months later after one appointment. It is really amazing.

Unfortunately it seems to be a problem of trans inclusivity. Anyone who claims to be trans is immediately considered such and a lot of the comments on this thread are proof.

Our dream!

So I am having the hardest time finding this... but in MA we had to defend trans rights at the ballot box (we won handily) and after the group that opposed went as far as to openly admit that the “bathroom predator myth” is very much a myth and was based on no evidence whatsoever. This was done with regards to…

Now that you’ve mentioned it, I think that trans women taking over the world sounds interesting. They should do it.

HER is kinda trash tho.

Honestly, I have nothing against folks who want a space away from men.

What? No one is trying to force cis women into the men’s room.

Yeah, not nearly that simple. It is clear you have no idea what you’re talking about.

They mostly want trans women in the men’s room where they get raped and killed. Trans men, as always, are an afterthought they pretend does not exist except when forced (like here.) But it is about trans women and normalizing violence against us.

jfc. I don’t “identify” as transgender. I happen to be trans. My identity is as a woman and transness? That is my medical condition which I will be treating medically for the rest of my life.

This show is the femme power fantasy I never knew I needed.

they LIKE that the suicide rate is so high because they want these kids to never reach adulthood. They want them gone so they’ll do everything they can to eliminate what little protection there is.

You should listen to the women in your life more, dude.

I find the use of “Identity” kind-of odd because if we really want to discuss identity formulation we’re talking about what is actual a very intricate negotiation between the individual and society. Me “claiming” to be a woman has much less to do with being seen as a woman than that the rest of society sees me as a…

Disagreement is fine and in the end it doesn’t at all matter. It is why I lean toward calling myself “transsexual” and not “transgender”. I know that this isn’t about a feeling nor is it about a desire. This is a medical condition that is extremely serious.

I am at an utter loss to describe my transness and transition as anything other than a medical process and a medical condition. My health has demonstrable positive markers since beginning HRT.

Hey let’s not drag truscum into this we’re harmless!
