is cisphobia/heterophobia a thing and is it a reoccurring problem?
like, i know hating on cis/hetero people for being cis/hetero is a thing, but is it a big problem like transphobia is? like some people have varying degrees on cis/heterophobia hatred like “hating on cis/straight people is bad” to “hating on cis/straight people is just as bad as transphobia/homophobia and as a queer person, i think that cis/straight people are a ‘dying breed’”.
How to get over regret about bottom surgery without killing myself?
I had bottom surgery almost a year ago and I regret it so much. I didn’t say anything up to now I kept getting told that feelings of doubt and uncertainty will get better as it heals, well it’s healed for over a month and it hasn’t gone away. It’s gotten worse! I feel like I’m broken, like part of me is missing. I wish I didn’t fucking do this shit. I miss my dick and balls so much. Don’t tell me that I don’t regret it and that regret is rare. This isn’t the first time I spoke up. I said this shit on Reddit and the dipshits who run r/trans banned me telling me that regret is rare and that I probably don’t regret it, and that the chance of me being not trans is tiny. I explained to those dumb fucks that I 100% am trans, am a woman and that I miss my dick and balls and they got me suspended for 3 days and muted me. I absolutely regret it and I absolutely am a woman. Some days (currently now) I think about killing myself because I know I’ll never be whole again. I just want to get in my car and drive off a gate bridge, and that would be it.
Do you think we should push to have Gender In-congruence classified as an Endocrine thing?
Is there any hope?
2026 Saw a bunch of states end the ability to update gender markers, with Kansas even revoking driver’s licenses. The attacks from the Right are constant. We are being dehumanized and I just learned what V-Coding is… The horrible things they’re doing to our sisters in Federal Prison… I fear in Trump’s America, we are set to be dehumanized, criminalized, mocked, and sexually exploited. I worry that the fight for trans rights can only end in failure as the public turns on us for being too strange and too small in number to be worth caring about. They call us pedophiles even as more of the Epstein files come out and reveal this is only true of Trump himself. Leaving the country even seems unlikely as we’re not allowed to have passports. Is there any hope that we prevail in the future? Or are we absolutely fucked with the only hope that MAYBE, just MAYBE, Canada allows us to seek asylum. I’m trying to hold on, but I’m beyond terrified and I just don’t see any happy ending for us.
Have you experienced a drop in customer service after socially transitioning?
How do you figure out your identity?
I know I’m not cis, but that’s about it. I’m AFAB, I would like to appear more masculine, I have dysphoria around my chest and genitals and would like them to be more masculine, but I want to present as a femboy or a twink, I don’t want facial hair or curves and I want a deeper voice. I like the idea of people not knowing what gender I am when they look at me. But at the same time neither she/her not he/him feel right for me, and I’m happier when people use they/them. Part of me thinks I don’t need a label, but at the same time I feel like I need a way do describe and identify myself. Can anyone help? I feel so confused.
Do these terms bother you?
Advice for first date with a trans woman?
Hi, I’ve got a date in a few days with a lovely trans woman whom I’ve not met before but chat online and talk with on the phone. I’d like to know if there are any faux paus in general that I should avoid. I have reassured her that I unequivocally see her a woman, that I strongly support trans and LGBTQ rights. For context I’m a bisexual cis man. She’s pre-op but looking to get hormone replacement therapy. She doesn’t seem to have dysmorphia about her nether bits, but does have dysmorphia from the negative social stigma. I didn’t press too much about it as I didn’t want to make her feel uncomfortable. I also shared some personal details to put her at ease about my identity so she knows I’m not just a creep. She very much seems into me though, and is very open to talk sexually as well which I find as a good sign as it indicates very open communication. Thanks for any advice!
Does anyone else feel less dissociated as the gender they weren't assigned at birth?
Hi, does anyone else feel less dissociated as the gender they weren’t assigned at birth and always were? I find I feel more comfortable as a man and that I experienced a lot of dissociation and disconnect as a woman.
