Dear /lgbt.
Bi M 23
Media groups gays and trans people often as annoying umblrites who drink the kool aid of political correctness. I've known a few people who challenge this, but most that I know are nutty over socjus pandering.
Is there a sizable group of you that reject gay society's "obligation" to the neo left?

Closet tgirl. Incredibly racist. Also borderline fascist

>Is there a sizable group of you that reject gay society's "obligation" to the neo left?
Yes, but for this very reason we don't put our face on LGBT.
Here is fine, its anonymous and we can discuss stuff, but irl I'd never associate with the LGBT movement, even though I get lumped in with the T by definition. This is probably why you have your specific idea of people you presume us to be, because sufficiently sane people worry about their own lives, not LGBT and thus remain unseen.
Who have you found is generally more accepting of transpeople? Cis men or cis women?
>>7003146
way too many wild variants to say
>>7003146
I think cis women are accepting more often, but when they're not it's much more extreme.
>>7003146
CIs women
I don't wanna go into "muh headcanons" territory but.... I see threads about what characters we think are gay or bi. What about ones that are trans?
There are a lot of characters revealing to be lgb nowadays. I wonder if we'll soon get trans characters in the same manner. It'd probably start a huge storm but I have see it a few times like in Umineko or Moyashimon. Characters we thought were cis but are either stealth or closeted.
I like trans!Hiro. He's a short femboy so it could go either way: ftm or mtf, though I prefer ftm.
Gwyndolin from Darksouls is kinda badly handled but still very much potentially a tgirl.
and so is Poison from Street Fighter.

I can't find the OP image I wanted but it was from this manga too so whatever.
Trans people, does masturbation invoke dysphoria for you? Did you feel dysphoric when you learned about it? I have seen two different comics - Khaos Komix and Bokura No Hentai - where mtf feel grossed out at doing it. This is foreign to me as a trans guy but I have heard some guys say they also feel this way. How common, or uncommon, is it?
Personally, I don't have much bottom dysphoria. Maybe if I wasn't asexual I would have more but as I am, I only really feel dysphoria when I use the bathroom and even then it's very light and just a mild discomfort. I have never felt dysphoria about sex, I just automatically know I wouldn't like vaginal. I don't think it's a trans thing though. Penetration just is gross to me. Anal, vaginal, I don't like it. Even if I was a cis male or a cis female I probably wouldn't like them.
I never felt especially dysphoric about masturbation, but sex always throws me into an emotional crisis, idk why
>>7002981
>masturbate
>fuck women
>pee
No problem, no dysphoria
My dysphoria is mostly social. Thinking about aging into a manly behemoth would of course induce dysphoria, but as far as my physical body, I'm pretty lucky to not experience much dysphoria. As far as my male form and former male life, I didn't hate my body ever so much as just didn't care about it at all
>>7002981
i never masturbated pre-t because of dysphoria, which was a problem at ages 14/15 when i knew i was trans and thus no longer thought i was asexual (mistook dysphoria for asexuality) but wasn't yet on blockers so had an intense sex drive
on t i jack off several times a day and don't feel as much dysphoria as i did pre-t in general, though pre-t i had to confine myself in my room because even looking at cis guys made me want to slit my wrists so it's a relative term
Hey /lgbt/,
I'm a 24 year old passable tranny in America, and I want to move to the UK. I have a college degree and such, but I'm not sure how easy it is to move there, what all I need to do (I have 7 months on my current lease, so I imagine I still have time to take care of paperwork, just not sure where to start). How hard is it for a tranny to get a job in the UK? I'm primarily looking at Edinburgh, Scottland, but I'm willing to look elsewhere if trannies aren't liked too much there. Essentially I'm worried being a tranny will keep me from getting a job there, which would be very bad.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
>>7002935
Why do you worry if you pass?
>>7003040
Not OP but I imagine he/it is wondering about the legal implications of being a tranny and looking for work
>>7002935
Trannies are protected under the Equality Act 2010 which makes it illegal for employers to discriminate based on gender identity, disability etc. unless they can prove beyond reasonable doubt that said person's disability or whatever would render them unable to perform the job even after reasonable alterations are made to facilities and equipment. You can't not get hired on the basis of being trans or you're allowed to sue.
Anyone here consideres a "flamer"? How do you deal? Is it really looked down upon?
I don't aim to be a femboy but I am pretty feminine. I don't have a lipsy voice or call people "girlfriend~"or anything like that, but I like painting my nails, gardening, baking, having female friends, wearing light colors like pink or green, etc. Basically I act like a middle aged stereotypical gay guy. I just want a nice picket fence, two kids, and a husband.
>>7002810
It's looked down on by the gay community but loved by the straight female community. There are more straight women then all LGBT put together so you'll be fine socially, and thanks to the internet it should be easy to find a guy who also wants the same future as you.
>>7002820
Why are lgbt people so hivemind?
>>7002837
Because it was a secret underground club until like 20 years ago
Can you guys clock trans men without knowing they're trans? Not pre-T guys that look like butch chicks, but trans men are hormones. I always thought that the only reason no one assumes I'm trans is because ftm fly under the radar. I'm absurdly short (5'0) and pretty curvy but no one cares. People only start noticing when you tell them they're trans. Then they start noticing your height or hand size or whatever. People clock trans women all the time but what about trans men?
>>7002715
People don't care what guys look like as long as they don't look like fags
I was able to clock a guy because of voice
>>7002715
i can, but i'm ftm myself and have developed the ability to be completely neurotic about the difference in appearance between men and women
it's not your height that will get you, it's your face if you transitioned post-puberty
Can you really be 'too young' to know you're gay or bi? When did you guys first start noticing?
I remember a Nick News segment with this boy who must have been under 12 and already was openly gay. I have heard of some 9 to 13 year olds who also are open but a lot of people always say kids can't know at that age. Why? Plenty of kids have crushes from as young as age 5 so why can't someone know they like boys or girls at that age? No one says kids are too young to be straight.
About 6-7
>>7002613
I think it varies from people to people.
For instance, I was taught that being gay was the epitome of evil long before I was taught what it even was. So I never really thought about it, because I just assumed that it was not an option.
Thinking back on it, I can see many "tells" that were there, like 6 year-old me going out of his way just to look as not-gay as possible. As in, I was actually quite concerned about others thinking I was gay, "even though I am not".
It even got to the point of me rationally picking girls from time to time to crush on. Like, it didn't just happen, I'd think about it and pretend it did. Again, back then I didn't really know being gay was possible (to me), so I guess I was just severely repressed and sort of hiding in the closet from myself as well?
In the end it took me half a decade of soul searching and fighting off suicidal thoughts until I could accept it, too.
I thought I was a lesbian from 9-21. thankfully I grew up and realized that wasn't the case
If we exterminate all cisbians will it cut down on America's obesity epidemic?
it's a start
Not in any statistically-significant way, at least if we're talking per capita.
>>7002561
If you exterminate all gays, the only statistic you'll affect is the one regarding amount of gays.
2% of the population is far too little for anything else.
>get height measured at doctor
>5'8 and three quarters
Who /megahon/ here?
>>7002549
Saged and hidden
Fuck you, troll
>>7002551
>>7002549
Here, have a frog-posted bump OP
I'm 5'8 too! But I'm a twink so I'm happy.
aimed at trannies, we were never meant to be born in the first place
No one was meant to be here. Let's cause some cancer and run wild into the sunset.
I stick it out for my loved one and my passion desu. I'll get the sweet release of death.
>>7002586
...All alone...
Can we drop the T already? It's not a sexual orientation, it's body dysmorphia. Do we really need to muddy the waters and make legislative goals more difficult for ourselves by having those hysterical idiots under the same umbrella?
>>7001944
>transexuals do all the work
>let's use their achivments and ditch them
>>7001944
Yes. Officially it is done now. I degree it. It is now only LGB.
>>7001962
>all the work
By which you mean what?
>>7001866
No, because they never show anything interesting. Neither does the WWE.
Greco-Roman is good to cockgawk at bulges, but it's mostly boring.
Baseball is good for looking at butts.
American Football / Rugby is good for imagining what guys looked like if they had muscle on top of their fat.
And pretty much every other sport is skinny/twinky guys. Occasionally you see a dick-slip in soccer... But that's about it.
So, I'd say no, there isn't an expressly homosexual interest in UFC or MMA any more than there is any other sport to be honest. Could be a specific fetish thing, but it's far more likely they like it as a -sport- rather than a sexual interest.
I'm ftm but I like it quite a lot.
>>7001866
Don't regularly watch sports but I'll watch MMA if it happens to be on. Used to play rugby so I'll tune in to that occasionally.
Sports are boring unless they're violent desu.
Hey this is my first post here, and I am coming to you all, drowning in confusion.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be a girl. From 7 years old, and onward, I wanted to be a girl.
I looked girly, I was small, with medium curly hair, and my ears were pierced since I was 2.
>>7001829
People would confuse me for a girl all the time, and I loved it. But as I grew older, I became more masculine looking, wide shoulders, barrel chest, my sister says from a distance, I look like I'm wearing football armor. My face, and skin are still soft, and girly, my hair is to my shoulders.
I told my Mom I was thinking of changing, she said "I figured you were going to go this way, you always loved your skirts." She is very supportive of it.
I have more, but it keeps saying its spam
>>7001843
It sounds like one. That's a pretty strighforward story. Just transition and don't look back.
is transgenderism just a form of escapism?
i've been attending my local center for meetups every wednesday, and they all seem to come from fucked up families, relationships they're not satisfied with, jobs they dont enjoy, or even poor financial status.
What does it really mean to be another gender and why does it seem to be a beacon of light for these people?
Is it unconsciously rejecting your past self flaws and wishing to take on a new life with a blank slate?
It's called sample bias. You are going to a support group and surprised the people there need support and have issues. I have a great life and childhood. I'm a tranny and I'm successful. I've never been to a support group.
We change genders because gender identity is biologically hard wired and it physically hurts not to do so. If you don't experience dysphoria don't transition. That simple.
Also shit bait. Why would a tranny ever use the word transgenderism?
>>7001464
No, you faggot, if it were about escaping shitty life situations, it would only happen to people who had been through shitty life situations. Most trans people report feeling trans from about as early as they can remember. If it were about escaping shitty relationship stuff, financial status, etc, why would I know I was trans from the time I was 6 years old? Also, I come from a very good family that is well-off, loving, and available.
Ik it's internalized transphobia, but please try not to make posts here that are transphobic as fuck, ok?
>>7001474
>If you don't experience dysphoria don't transition.
i've felt 'dysphoria' since as early as 8. i want boobs, i've always gotten put down when people compliment how muscular my calves are, i admire my fem features, and it use to be the highlight of my days when people would mistake me for another gender.
i've been pretty satisfied with my life thus far as well, but i can't help but wonder if there's some secret underlying reason i'm suppressing.
i've focused so much on myself being trans, and as i see these other people i wonder what's the end goal for us? what do we see? why does it matter so much?
i can't put into words why something so cosmetic seems to be the end all and be all for me. i've had my letter for 4 years and dwelled on this.
>>7001477
not transphobic, i'm just trying to understand myself and others.
