Before I even knew what the word transgender was

>>7902281
At 3 I can remember having symptoms of being transgender. Most of my friends were girls, I'd play mostly with my sister's toys, dress up in my mom's clothes and makeup, didn't interact much with boys, etc. This stuff probably started earlier but I can't remember anything at all from before I was 3.

At 12 I first learned than transgender people existed and what it was, but I was still in denial about being it myself. I also started having major dysphoria issues as a result of puberty and my body's development.

At 14 I decided that I was probably trans, but also decided that I should wait for puberty to finish before doing anything in case it can "fix" me and makes me feel like a man.

At 16-17 I was suffering near constant bouts of anxiety and depression as a result of my dysphoria. I missed probably half of my last two years of highschool because it was often so bad that I couldn't bear to go to school. My friends and family were worried sick.

At 18 I finally accepted being trans and that dysphoria wasn't just something that would go away without help. Came out to my friends and family, got a therapist, and started hrt within 6 months of that realization.

At 19 now, 9 months hrt, and I feel so much better about myself. I get gendered female about 90% of the time even though I only go outside in boymode, and I have a great boyfriend too. I still regret being so stupid when I was 14 and not pursuing help then and there, though.

Age 22: learn about the concept of transgender. Question self if I am trans also. Decide no, not trans.

I think that might actually lend credibility to the stories. Someone who used to live as a male and is now living as a female would have unique insights on how females are treated as opposed to male, due to that "control" of past male experience. As for the email thing specifically, does it really matter? When they swapped names they presumably changed nothing about else about how they work. So even if two cis men did the experiment (but one used a female name), or two cis women with one using a male name, or two trannies, wouldn't the results be equally credible?

She also appears to totally pass, assuming the image you posted is her. Of course this doesn't matter for the emails, but assuming no one would guess she isn't actually a cis woman, that wouldn't significantly affect how people perceive and treat her at her workplace unless it makes her behavior not like that of a typical cis woman.

While it's an interesting thing to note, I don't think it actually has much relevance to the stories. They're both about how perception (I'm assuming this about the working while female one, I haven't read it), and she's presumably trying her hardest to be perceived as female. It's less about her and more about the people around her.

Wether or not she's trans has no bearing on the story, you just want to out her and scream TRANNY!!! cause she's leftists and you're not.

Uhhh?

Your other points are valid tho

>>7901708
I would consider myself a leftist.

the cia niggers invented the concept of real wombyn

this is a problem with third wave feminism and the modern critical theory culture. he is preaching to the choir here. this is still overly complicating the premise that transition reduces dysphoric feelings. thats the entire premise. everything else is baggage.

>>7901513
Sounds like a hon who failed to pass and blamed other trans people for selling her a "big lie".

Head over to the skincare general on /fa/ and ask for some tips?

>>7900830
Take 50mg of Zinc each day with food. You'll see changes in your skin within a day or two. softer, smoother, less irritation.

Ask doctor first if it's okay.

Goodbye hoooorseeesss

>And pray tell, why do you think that?
Excuse me, have you SEEN modern western women? My father is more feminine than that since they've already sacrificed their femininity long time ago.

Nice meme /pol/ friend
When I go to town at peak lunch hours to look at qt girls (seeing them in the flesh is better) plenty of them seem very feminine.

>>7900233

Too much test made you a faggot

Yeah I think it could be a hormonal thing. I'm also 5'10, which makes me think it's hormones or I'm predispositioned to being masculine somehow

>>7899652
a lot of guys on /fit/ claim that too, guess its normal

Should I experiment and not tell her? If I decide I like sex with men more I would most likely start pushing them romantically but if I decide I don't I want to stay with her forever.

Well, you either cheat or you don't. Just know there's a consequence that could devastate your partner.
''Tis life.

Defs not dude you have a Relationship and are happy in it no? No amout of sex is worth your relationship and what if your not bi and hate it then you just feel like shit and acted shit

Wouldn't a far better way to do it be to do it be to have trans people and their cis gendered counter parts write an essay on an neutral topic and then see if normies could tell them apart?

If they can't it sort of proves that it doesn't matter or that the test is flawed. More likely though it proves that Trans people are indistinguishable from their internal genders.

it's not trying to prove one view over the other, it's trying to see how good each side is at understanding their opponents

how the fuck are we still talking about the cotton ceiling.

how many years are we going to be talking about this non issue
