Very relatable, I had that experience a lot when I was younger and I was so confused why I thought that but it’s very clear to me now why I did.

I don’t know if there is a specific term for it, I think people would just call it having bottom dysphoria.

I’ve noticed that myself, when I first came out and started transitioning socially my voice didn’t bother me and I spoke exactly like I did before. Now I’m bothered slightly by sounding masculine and I try more to speak in a way that sounds feminine, the deepness doesn’t particularly bother me I just don’t want to sound like a dude if that makes sense.

Yeah it happened to friends of mine, well I stopped being friends with them back then because I was a terrible person. I had lots of dumb transphobic explanations for why they “switched sides” but really looking back with what I know now. It’s as simple as, anyone who “wants” to be trans just is trans. If they have a lot of transphobic prejudice they may go forward to “prove” it’s a choice but they’ll learn quickly that it isn’t, once they’re hit with the euphoria, or the dysphoria, or both. That’s when it becomes apparent how little of a choice it is.

I have doubts of how possible it is to accidentally fake being trans. Back in my darker days when I hug out with terrible people (and also was one) I had friends who attempted to do just that to “infiltrate trans groups” and for almost every one of them it backfired and they ended up coming out as trans in one way or another.

So I think it’s more likely to fake being cis than to fake being trans.

I had that too, I also just didn’t know just how badly I wanted to be a girl until I met a really good friend who I learned was trans (and was also in the right state of mind not to immediately push her away), questioned my own gender, then experimented with she/her pronouns on myself and learned yup totally want to be a girl, really badly too. I also doubted myself a bit since I’d heard that you need dysphoria, but that didn’t last long because I realized my chest dysphoria very soon after that.

Yeah similar story here, I’m not an enby, I am binary trans, but I’m still not sure if I would be treated poorly/differently than cis women going topless.

NGL I’m kind of going to miss being able to go to the Beach shirtless once they grow in. Will be totally worth it though to be my authentic self 😊

Congratulations, I hope you have a speedy recovery.

I remember this guy. I remember giving him way too much praise back when I was a stupid right wing bigot. I regret that deeply, he is a horrible person and this just goes to show it even more.

I just don’t want to, I don’t like skirts and dresses as weird as it sounds. I’m very tomboyish and prefer wearing more masculine outfits, I prefer pants over skirts or dresses, and shorts during the warmer weather.

I don’t really like chocolate much. I’ll eat white chocolate, but milk chocolate and especially dark chocolate is kinda gross to me.

I don’t remember that being a thing ever. I remember at one point people would talk about chocolate being amazing but I never heard it being specific to girls. Actually my family used to make chocolate deserts a lot and I ended up getting very sick of it. I’ll eat white chocolate but if given the option between something that has dark or milk chocolate and something that doesn’t have chocolate I’ll choose the thing without chocolate.

I probably would’ve done the exact same thing.

My week is okay. I’ve been hanging out with some friends I met at a pride event, they seem really nice. Two of them are NonBinary. I haven’t met someone who’s NonBinary before but they seem like really nice people so far. I hope we can be good friends.

I think it has been reclaimed by the community, though I’m doubtful that the old man with a MAGA hat who called me a dyke is aware of that or using it in that kind of way (yes he was literally wearing a MAGA hat).

I heard that. I noticed a tiny bit of soreness occasionally but I’m not sure if it’s because I slept weird or if it’s working.

Yup they’re your typical transphobic bigot who’s mad that someone actually stands up against them and won’t tolerate them. It’s important to challenge these types of people so that the mask can slip off and they reveal themselves for who they really are.

I agree, I’m sick of this too. These types of debates are shitty and trying to honor them or play along doesn’t do anyone any favors.

I have nothing against Transgenders

Yet you choose to use deliberately dehumanizing language to describe us… Interesting.

Remember kids, when people hate on Blahaj and other Trans safe spaces, there is always a deeper reason. It’s either lack of understanding of the trans experience, or outright bigotry and disdain for those who protect trans and queer people.
