Who else here can't figure out if they're genuinely transgender or are just fucked in the head about sexuality?
Like, I've read the studies regarding how transgenderism is rooted in the brain's white matter failing to fully masculinize / masculinizing when it's supposed to feminize (MtFs and FtMs, respectively), and how those white matter differences can cause both social distress and body dysphoria regarding sex characteristics, but how do I know that's the case and I'm not just confused or subconsciously misguided about sex?
I had some sexual trauma as a child and I'm worried that it, alongside a brief flirtation with radical 3rd wave feminism in my confused teen years (i was a dumbass, I'm not like that now), might've simply made me uncomfortable or hate myself for being male, and now I'm subconsciously seeing the concept of femininity as a means of distancing myself from my maleness. I feel dysphoria about all sorts of different things, but yet I'm still able to ignore it and suppress the thoughts. Maybe I've just got strong willpower or ability to control what i ignore, which doesnt sound too odd for me, but then again what if I don't even have genuine body dysphoria and what I'm actually feeling is a learned, socially-ingrained hatred for my own masculinity?
Has anybody else felt this way? what did you do about it? I don't want to destroy my body on HRT if whatevers causing my dysphoria can simply be unlearned rather than it being a physical abnormality in my brain. Maybe I could get a brain scan and ask a neurobiologist to determine whether or not it was a masculine or feminine brain.
for clarification i am a biological male, in case anyone was confused.

If this is not a troll you are probably trans. Don't kid yourself though. Dysphoria just gets worse.
>>7531902
Been in doubts for a while but figured Im just fucked
JUST
Cis people, state your name, gender, and if you'd date a trans person, and what sort of trans person you'd date if it applies.

1. Cara
2. M
3. Yes, early transitioners almost exclusively.
>>7531758
>M
I have to notice this is the first time you've ever said this outright, looks like you're buckling down into hardcore repression mode. Sad.

Yes
Early to Passable mtf and early ftm
Which actually presents me with a problem right now. I'm flirting with a ftm who's on testosterone but is still pretty early in the transition. We made out the other day, but I haven't spoken much to them since for two reasons. The first is that I have no idea how they would want to progress intimately. I don't know how to have sex with a pre-op Trans man in a way that they would be comfortable with. The other half is I feel kinda dirty because I'm most attracted to the feminity they have, not the masculinity they're trying to have. Has anyone else had this problem? How should I progress from here?
do you have 1?
>>7531695
No.
I had a friend help me build my first one, and after that I built my own.
I'm going to help my younger sister build her first one, and hopefully she'll build her own ones in the future.
lol boys who think they have a skill because they "build computers"
they're designed so that untrained children with mental disorders caused by living in industrial waste can put them together
A boy helped me buy a PC 7 years ago I use it to this day.
t.mtf
I'm 18, 6'3 150 pound white guy, kinda boyish looks. kinda think i'm bi although feel I should just stick to one for now, dont want to overcomplicate things.
I feel kinda obligated to get a girlfriend or something, I find women somewhat attractive but can never seem to connect. Only sexual experience was a few blowjobs which i kinda liked giving..
With guys i feel I get a more immediate connection with, and feel really turned on to trim kinda hairy white guys. Only ever got butterflies in the stomach for something gay and it was super fucking intense.
Only problem is I feel super submissive, don't want to take control and want to get used.. Kinda feel a bit ashamed and emasculated because of it.
So whats my deal? What should I do?
To clarify, not into how women act a lot. Get annoyed a bit.
>>7531525
you're gay
>>7532271
How do you know?
Am I passable lads?
As a 14 year old boy, yes
how old are you? you definitely pass ftm but you look like a 13 year old boy
i think there are xtian sects with female pastors/priestesses so you can probably get laid if you convert
>>7531182
I'm a shotacon myself so I'm okay with that. Is it attractive 13 year old though?
My girlfriend of 3 years found pictures of me on Reddit getting fucked by a guy. She dumped me. How do I win her back? I feel shitty.
She said she had issues it was with another man. Not purely because I cheated. She had no idea I was bi. How do I clean up this mess?
You don't. You're a horrible person and a whore. Never enter into another relationship if you're just going to hurt them.
Is it actually even possible for a mtf to ever obtain a good voice?
I know one can have a "passable" voice, in that it sounds more like a woman's voice than a man's. But that doesn't mean it's really a woman's voice, let alone a good one. I've never heard a trans person speak in any voice which wasn't more than a just highly-practiced, high pitched, gay dude voice.
It's possible, just difficult. This chick is a great example, although she occasionally posts dramatic freakouts where the mask starts to crack a little bit, but when she's level-headed, her voice is amazing.

You can if you get the same voice surgery Korean pop stars get to sound like chipmunks
Even some femboy was getting it http://archive.loveisover.me/lgbt/thread/7179853/
>>7530706
yeson isn't the same voice surgery as that, and it's not as brilliant as advertised
yeson only posts the good results, some are awful
there are surgeons in the us using the same technique and getting the same average spectrum of results, though very few -- all i know of is one guy in portland
also you still have to voice train after
So I'd like to discuss a controversial subject among the transgender community.
Is transgenderism a mental disorder?
I always have considered it to be one. A lot of people find offense to it being called as such however.
I realise it was reclassified in DSM-5 but for what reasons?
I'm seeing it be reclassified in a few places now but I can't find any reasons for it besides wanting transgender people to feel better about themselves - which is complete ass in my opinion.
So let's have a nice discussion about it!
Let's use facts and let's use sources and be lovely to each other!
>>7530566
I'd think the BDD aspect is, had ana as a kid, nearly died from it, I think they're from the same root.
Not saying that body autonomy isn't the perfect treatment.
t. femboy
>>7530566
for at least some who experience it, it's an intersex condition
for some other number, it's a sexual orientation
i don't think it's a mental disorder, but even if it is i'm anti-psychiatry enough to not care
I prefer to refer to it as a medical condition
Should I just go gay?
The only people that have ever shown interest in me are gay guys. I'm 24, virgin and have zero friends or family. Should I jut meet a gay guy for human contact or should I remain a hermit autist? I have no idea how to act around people but I know my lack of human contact is leading me further into isolation and depression. wut do
>>7530387
Give it a try, see how you like it.
>>7530387
Don't just go gay, you won't enjoy it if you're not into guys. Honestly just work on your looks, be more outgoing, get your life together.
Hooking up with a gay guy would probably be the worst experience for you if you're not gay.
>>7530387
what kind of porn do you get off to? This will tell you the answer.

Question of the day: favorite type of pre-sex drink?
Drinkers ain't thinkers.
>>7529870
Historically wrong. Most famous intellectuals drank, and a number drank a lot. Especially writers and poets.
Weed etc. though are very anti-intellectual.
water ofc
gotta stay hydrated for strenuous physical activity
Problem?
>>7529619
None whatsoever, a/s/l?
>>7530000
Cis, hetero, white, Christian, conservative. I kinda wanna hang with you guys for a while, tho, new experiences and all that jazz.
>>7530005
Okay then, I take it you were fishing for replies with the bisexual pepe, huh?
Well, I suppose I should welcome you to /lgbt/, in short, every letter hates itself and the others, no one likes Tumblr, and besides a few deluded trannies and faggots, nobody likes /pol/.
Also everyone is autistic. Have fun.
I had gender dysphoria for about a year but it suddenly stopped? I felt dysphoria for all of 2016 and I wanted to make it a new years resolution to come out in early january but I haven't felt dysphoric all week. Am I free of being a tranny, or will the dysphoria come back later?
Was it your 20th birthday on January 1st?
Did you have too much quality time with family and too little time on mentally ill websites?
Did you learn to stop worrying and learn love the truth bomb about genetics?
>>7529454
Did you have it any time before 2016 in any capacity whatsoever? If not, it's probably gone for good.
Is he right?
Are all gays conflict avoidant women?
>>7529445
Nah, just the bottoms, which are essentially women. Did anyone ever do a population check for gays? I wouldn't be surprised if there were more bottoms than tops, but I've heard it varies with town.
In this particular case, it might just be that he was paid to do the first and wasn't paid to do the second, so get out of there asap.
homophobic and misogynistic in less than 140 characters
*claps*
with how misogynistic these republicans are, you'd think they might be homos 2bh
>>7529445
>Are all gays conflict avoidant women?
No, just the liberal ones.
Figured out I need to tell my parents that I'm gay, cant keep lying to them anymore.
Anyone have tips?
I waited until they left the house and made sure they would be gone for at least 30 minutes and left a note on the door step and headed up to my room.
They came back around expected and picked up the letter at the door. It's what was in the letter that's important because they immediately bolted up to my room and gave me the biggest hug they could, tears and all. That's because I was a cold corpse hanging in my wardrobe. The letter was a suicide note. Because you should kill yourself like the mentally ill shit stain on humanity that you are. If I had a child and they were like you, I'd feel I completely failed as a father and wouldn't be able to look them in the eye. They would not be my child.

Dammit /lgbt/
/fit/ turned me gay
I know you've got the cure, hand it over and nobody gets hurt
Trust me bro if there were a cure I'd have probably taken so much of it I'd OD.
Fap to this gif. It worked for me.
