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'm going to get backlash for this, but the three pronouns that I use for other people are he/him for males, she/her for females and they/them for anyone else. The LGBT community came up with like 600 other sets of pronouns like ne, ve, zhe, ect. It's kind of annoying, and I always use they/them pronouns for those people because I'm not going to remember their custom pronouns that look like a keyboard smash.

what if yo can't tell if it's a girl or boy? Can i also just say "hey you !" ?

or "get over here" xD

for reals: it kinda is a mess and it would be super nice if every1 would be wearing eye implants and u can tell like in a video game bc pink = girl blue = boy green = plant yellow = animal purple = diverse white = asexual

the health bar or how ever you set it up

Yes, if you don't know someone's gender, you should use they/them pronouns. However, a lot of people unfamiliar with the concept of non binary genders will probably find it weird, so use your best judgement on how to address them.

You know I see this a lot in the LGBTQIA+, my rights are being taken away.

Which ones? You do know and understand interfering with other people's lives is not your right. Forcing other people to believe in the same things as you is not your right. Asking people to support you who have no idea who you are as a person is not your right. I've seen people saying it's good to teach kids about this stuff so they can... can't remember what they said be better allies or something, which again is not your right.

So generally curious as to what rights you've lost since you transitioned or believe you will lose.

So I am actually an outlier in the LGBT community. I don't care if you are straight and cisgender, and I won't force you to be anything else. If you have settled on your identity or haven't put much though towards it, then that is your choice. This goes back to me being embarrassed to associate myself with the LGBTQ community, because instead of fighting for everyone to tolerate them, they want to take over everything and make absolutely everything ♥♥♥ or inclusive. It will not be the end of the universe if a new show on Netflix has a straight white protagonist. I'm not saying that we should completely neglect the LGBTQ community, since we have suffered for far too long, but we need to get out ♥♥♥♥ together. No politician will support a community that sends death threats to people for being straight (that is a thing that actually happened, multiple times I think).

Also transgender people who have already fully transitioned only have to really worry if they haven't updated their birth certificate and ID. I guess I used the wrong terminology, since lawmakers are trying to make it more difficult to transition and update your legal info, not trying to get rid of people who have already finished transitioning

I feel like you've fallen for a lot of right-wing ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ if this is how you feel about that. I'm not going to deny that some people have sent death threats over stupid stuff like that but it is not a norm within the community, nor is it unique to us. Conservatives love to blow this ♥♥♥♥ out of proportion and fear monger over it.

Well, the bad side of the community is the most vocal, and I've seen it myself in action on Twitter and TikTok

We’re at the point where transgender women put more effort into looking feminine than biological women.

I think there is a natural and logical explanation for that. :D

Yeah, I know.

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.

Good grief please stfu

Feel free to make a counter point...

Can I transition into a cyborg yet?

I consider transwomen to be women but transgender women are still men to me unless I can clearly tell the person has gender dysphoria. A few times I have seen people who identify as transgender say the most mysoginistic and anti woman ♥♥♥♥ ever like how their "penises made them better than women" etc.

"transwoman" and "transgender woman" is the same thing trans is literally just a shortening of transgender

Last I checked, my doctor refused to remove my arm and bolt on an artificial replacement.

So, no.

No, transwomen went through surgery and are legally women.

Transgender women are people who identify as women, some of them experience gender dysphoria and are legitimate women to me but others aren't and use trans to add more depth to their very shallow personality, even going as far as devaluing women in their search for an identity.

I think you mean transsexual women. The other two words are synonymous with each other

You don't always get what you want in the live. It seems some ppl can't deal with it.

My question is why such an incredible need for recognition arises. Does this also have to do with genes? I've never had any problems with x-abnormalities, but all the time they want you to deal with them and accept them, they're slowly getting on my nerves.
Why can't they just live normally and be done with it? It seems to me like a sect that others want to convene...

Well, I hate having a ♥♥♥♥ and I'd rather have breasts and be allowed to wear cute clothes like skirts and crop tops. If there is an option that makes that a reality, im going to take it

What has been your experience on steam discussion board, has it been a welcoming experience or hostile one?
