What children are having these surgeries? Besides the genital surgeries forced on babies to make them align with cisnormative understandings of sex.
@jessicobra
I think big picture the issue with the whole "gendered socialization" thing is that it's obviously just, in practice, a long-winded way to misgender trans people, whether or not it's true at all
@Ysterman_Rs
@jessicobra
doctors tend to not know anything about it either. certainly less than the average trans person on hrt does
I'm not even diy and my entire regimen was proposed by me, my doctor just said "yeah sure sounds good let's try it"
@arbyslover99
yeah so that's why girl! i would tell your doc that and see what they say, if they still want you do lower your dose I'd just keep doing what you were doing tbh
@wontgoon
I stg the posts that are all "I hate infighting can we please stop 🥺" are so annoying, like trans women are trying to be left alone and we keep getting put on fucking lists and dragged into everyone else's problems
@Joypress
Can all the fucking moronic men replying to this saying "why didn't she come forward earlier" and other rape apologia please read the fucking article
@jessicobra
@butchcoffeeboy
even non diy, I live in an informed consent state and have watched more than one girl drag her feet getting a prescription
the mindset even continues during transition for a lot of us, like estrogen is wonderful but it doesn't do everything.

It has to be deliberate, because if they twist it then they don't have to grapple with the fact that their behavior is a choice

Same. I did a stint at my job where I was on register basically every night for a month, and people being nice to me, complimenting me, etc made a world of difference in my mental state.
@cynonari
roe vs wade was overturned because of a republican stacked court and the states banning trans care are also repub states
I stg people who engage in politics on this website have no object permanence. do you think Biden is the one stacking the courts with conservatives?

The other day someone told me that by making an effort to pass and not wanting to get they/themd all day I'm upholding "white supremacist gender colonialism" lmfao
@IwriteOK
Oh yeah, I'm not disagreeing with you. I meal prep and bulk cook lunches for myself. There are just a lot of potential barriers to doing it successfully, and I can understand the desire people have for easier access to hot food.

Telling a trans woman "you're just jealous of my big natural tits" has at least three instances of transphobia/transmisogyny. At least.

you are calling trans women cultists in the same breath you call us terfs lol, you can't make this shit up. it's right there man, everyone can see it

I agree they weren't right about much of anything. Which leaves some things for them to be right about. Like I said... Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

People who's only engagement with music is whatever is on the radio/spotify charts always have the same dogshit opinions.
Also idk why they fetishize something being new or original. Art is communicative, art has a history and everything produced is a reaction to something else

@Faerynnistired
Are you serious? You can talk about your issues without immediately throwing trans women under the bus, also the implication that trans women have people outside our communities jumping to our defense is like, so hilariously wrong that it has to be malicious.
@ASTFxx
We don't take "synthetic hormones". Synthetic estrogen has not been in use for years at this point. Every trans woman I know takes bio identical estrogen.
@thouxanbanmoby
@transgabalus
Most of those are fake or taken literally when the surgery is happening. I promise, healed bottom surgery usually looks much better than those photos! There's a reason the regret rate is so low.
But also, I get it. Surgery is spooky.
@Ysterman_Rs
@jessicobra
most trans women I know going the "official route" get prescribed placebo doses of estrogen and wonder why nothing is happening
@wontgoon
That line is so thin, it's fucking terrifying. These two had the same exact conversations that every transfem person has overheard/read online between cis people.
Turning this into some kind of dumb double standard is so weird. Trans women are invalidated every second of every day and literally no one outside our circles gives a shit.

@two_n_minus_one
Like in the context of a more social setting, ie meeting a friend of a friend or something, I can see this maybe working. But most of my friends are like, aware that trans women often hate the pronoun circle so they *gasp* tell people my pronouns before we interact

Nah dude you're supposed to screenshot their messages and put them on blast on Twitter instead of just being a normal person and saying you're uncomfortable and moving on with your life
