I'm a transgender girl, ask me anything

[Apteryx]

This is either going to be a good discussion, or a dumpster fire

Yeah, I'm a trans girl. That's why I've been posting about politics a lot because I was wondering if they were going to take my rights away. I think a lot of people who dislike trans people have never actually talked to a trans person, so let's change that. If you ever had a question about what it's like to be trans, or how trans people find out that they're trans, then feel free to ask.

Don't worry, I won't get offended. That's one of the things I dislike about the LGBT community. They get too offended over things as simple as a question by a curious person that was worded poorly in a way that offends them. It's so bad that I feel embarrassed to associate myself with the LGBTQ community.

If you personally have a problem with trans people, so be it. My only request is that you don't start a huge fight in the replies, because that could lead to you being banned.

Also, if any moderators are reading this, please do NOT ban anyone in the replies here. I know this is a sensitive topic that people have strong opinions on, but I WANT to hear these opinions. Also, please don't lock this for "starting a fight" or whatever, because I want to hear everyone's opinions. I'm sorry if this goes against the Steam rules, and feel free to delete the post if the worst case scenario happens and a straight up war happens in the comments. But still, don't ban anyone please.

I have not seen any women that are trying to become men that plan on competing with men in the sports world, it's always men wanting to compete with women.

Do you think that some Trans people may be ♥♥♥ men that are not receiving all of the attention that they require so they become Trans in hope of finding the extra attention that they think is missing?

Well, femboys are a thing, and I'd say about 80% of trans girls people I know personally are attracted to guys, so your theory is probably correct for some people

Thanks for taking the time. Best of luck and stay healthy!

I thought I may not have been clear enough. You were told surgery and hormones were an option. Those weren't things you came up with on your own. Who gave you the idea of surgery or hormones so you could make the decision?

Sounds like social media since your parents didn't.

I don't remember where I heard that it was an option, exactly. If you are the kind of person who thinks social media is indoctrinating kids into being trans or something, then I'll just say that I always had a passing interest in being more girly. The earliest memories I have of this feeling was wanting to be a princess for Halloween when I was about six years old. My parents shot that idea down because they were unfamiliar with the concept of trans people back then. Thankfully, they have warmed up to that concept and have allowed me to start my transition

Tbf going back just a few decades without the Internet you would have just been ♥♥♥. It's only modern science that even allows for the wide application of surgery and hormones for people's identity issues.

So I think it's safe to say social media is a large influence on the rise of people seeking medical procedures for issues around gender.

You can't change your chromosomes. They do surgery to change genitals and/or add/remove breast and give hormones. Chromosomes are your DNA they don't change that. They change body parts and natural chemical levels in body.

That's right, you can't change them. The weird thing I can't understand is why would anyone want the opposite effects of what DNA gives?

What are your thoughts on "gender dysphoria"? Do you believe it is a real thing, and that it should be classified as a mental illness?

If you could be medically treated somehow to make yourself feel okay with being a man in a male body instead of wanting to transition, would you be interested in that treatment?

Do you think changing one's body through things like ♥♥♥♥♥♥ reassignment surgery are effective at positively changing the way one feels in their mind about themselves?

I'm no psychologist, but I personally thing gender dysphoria is a separate thing from being transgender. They are very close in definition, but there are some subtle things that differentiate them. Gender dysphoric people generally just feel uncomfortable with their body, but transgender people make moves to change that, usually by changing their name and wardrobe.

The second question is kinda tough to answer. I know my life would be much easier if I did this theoretical treatment, but I also kind of have an NPC personality, and being trans is my one unique quality. The problem with that is that people would then say that I'm just seeking attention. It's complicated, and I would probably see how it affects other, braver, people before I consider it myself.

The third question can be answered on a case by case basis. An overwhelming majority of trans people (myself included) feel more comfortable when they start a transition, and they often feel even better after the surgery. I haven't gotten a surgery yet, so I can't say anything about that. This may all seem great, but a small yet notable chunk of transgender people feel no better after a transition and surgery. They either regret it, or end up having some other problems. After all, (depending on how complete of a transition surgery you get) you are literally removing and creating new organs in your body, which leaves plenty of room for major problems, especially if the transgender person in question is still interested in reproduction. Of course thisnwill lead to both physical and mental complications. Like I said, each person has a unique transition, none of them are exactly the same

Anesthesia. It's not like you gotta do that to be trans, though. Most trans people don't go that far.

you gotta reduce dem testosterones though or else you wont look as feminine. so since the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ are the source of masculinity we must rid ourselves of them. also i don't think i could hold the knife properly while under anesthesia

There's a thing called testosterone blockers. It may have... funny effects that I should not mention here.

When you give the people chocolate cakes, 1% are upset and want a strawberry cake. Does it matter why?

Which rights are you worried about? And who are "they"

The "they" I am talking about are politicians and people in power.

Looks like thread already got one ban. Pour one out for Kiler_best1235_Denmark :wdbdrink:

It's sad because I specifically asked the mods not to ban anyone in this thread. Maybe they were hit for something they said in another thread, but I highly doubt that

Yeah, but I was hoping they would make an exception. I know it was a long shot. I just wanted to discuss something about myself that others see as controversial, and this is what we get. More censorship.

Apparently there is, because it's an interesting case, and I'd like to hear why. If it's nonsense, it will remain nonsense. If it's reasonable, it will remain reasonable. The example with the cake. What if the person next you is allergic?
