If you have liver issues, is it still safe to use T?

>>5801160
Ya, just don't use the pill form.

>>5801173
Ok. Thanks.

Anyone have tips on how to make longer hair look more masculine? Can't cut hair too short because of family shit. It's above my shoulders.

>>5801189
Mullet

>>5801211
Suicide it is

>>5801189
Unless your face is butch af, that's not gonna work. Why not do a pixie cut and tweak it every time you're away from family? That's what I do and I can easily change from slightly fem to more masc.

>>5801216
My face is kind of feminine looking, I don't think I could pull that off. Wouldn't be able to get one anyway, anything above chin length I'm not allowed to have

Will T give me thicker eyebrows? Jesus christ mine are thin and pathetic.

>>5801189
try not to tuck it behind your ears, thats a subtle "girl" thing. shave sideburns to a flat end so that it looks more like you shave that whole area - naturally grown, soft girl sideburns are obvious. part it either as far back as you can (to give appearance of a further-back hairline) or cover your hairline entirely (to leave it to the imagination). thats all i can think of rn

How old are you that your parents still have this kind of control?
>>5801232
Your eyebrows may fill out a little I believe but will stay about the same shape, will probably fill in the monobrow a bit too depending on your genetics.

What's it like having masculinity so fragile you have to go out of your way to validate yourself

>>5801341
Females have softer skin than males, so T does change the texture a bit but I think what you're noticing is mostly due to the second image of him being a lot sharper than the first. So we can see the details of his face better such as his acne which is exacerbated by T anyway.

How to pull off pierced ears? I have both ears done and I'm considering getting fake plugs but that might be the epitome of assholery. The only dudes I ever see with both ears pierced are dudes with plugs.

i have my firsts stretched to a 4g and i just wear plain steel tunnels or carved horn in them, but in my seconds i wear 14g horseshoe barbells, and have worn captive bead rings before. i think anything that would go in a typical body piercing would work.

>>5801472
Pass first. Don't wear those awful plugs, keep piercings minimal and asymmetrical.

>>5801472

Most people are not going to notice that your ears are pierced on the first glance, and if they do, will think you wear man jewellery in them. Steel and bone and black plastic things in guy ears is more and more common.

There are a lot of guys with pierced ears. It's nothing weird these days. Most people won't even notice they're pierced in the first place, and the ones that do will probably think nothing of it. I have pierced ears too (though they're covered by my hair).

I'm gonna go get my hair cut the way I want it for the first time today. Wish me luck ;_;

>>5802090
Good luck man. How are you getting it cut? And keep in mind it could take a few haircuts for it to actually look manly, hairdressers here don't seem to like giving someone who doesn't look like a man a masculine haircut. Who knows though, maybe I just had a shitty hairdresser.

The hairdresser's a friend who I'm out to who offered to cut my hair, so, that's nice. I'm just getting one of those slightly longer Asian dude haircuts, because those tend to look better on more round faces. Rectangle glasses help me, too.

>>5801160
Depends on the severity of your issue. Talk with a doctor about it, and no one uses pill form of T anyway.

>>5802113
Oh, I have something sort of similar to that. I was told by another trans friend last week that it's too girly/long though. Then again, I do pass for the most part, so I guess it's not that bad. If you have a feminine face, you might want to be careful with it though.

>>5802140
Mine is round-ish, but, not too feminine, at least. PCOS and thick eyebrows kind of helped me in the long run, heh.

>>5802148
Guess you should be alright then. Thick eyebrows are great, I always feel kind of sad for people who have eyebrows so thin they're barely there. Not sure what shape my face even is, but it's definitely not very masculine. I guess my face is kind of neutral or something, since I can make a good looking girl and a good looking (young) boy. Either way, it works out well for me, so whatever.

Hate to get academically psychological here, but getting into fights regularly is indicative of some form of personality disorder. herp derp I'm posting on 4chan so you know maybe that's obvious.

Leave it to Freud to label justice and survival both diseases.

>>5803249

you know i can honestly say i've never seriously considered stabbing someone... i imagine that's probably an awful experience for everyone involved...

>>5803306

Dynamics of fighting aren't really studied much outside of military psychologists, and I doubt I'd need to tell you how popular they are. Honestly from what I've read, coming to actual blows over something (at least, while sober) is a real rarity statistically. If it happens often for an individual outside of circumstances like spaing or military work, it is indicative of something.

I can't quite remember what it is, but fight/flight is only relevant for inter-species conflict, intra-species is more focussed on pose/submit(or appeasement), but fight/flight still being 2 further options that are simply considered less often.

But I dunno man. It's an interesting topic to study but it's desperately under studied, and what is studied is usually in regards to criminology so it can be mired in a lot of political and lawspeak.

If that's true, then why do Muslims kill gays? It seems like your ignoring a whole lot of human behavior. In war, do people just wave their guns at one another until one side lays down and spreads their butt cheeks?

>>5803542

tl;dr Something something dehuminisation something something deindividuation.

Consider it like this. In the military, servicemen are trained to kill. They shoot at human shaped targets, they're put in combat situations for practice, they're taught how to kill essentially. If you have a culture which is defined in part by the fact that "they are not people and they must die" then it seems almost natural to them that they must die.

Plus the executions are almost always public. Even in the US there are public galleries for executions. If everyone is there looking for and expecing there to be death, what do you think is going to happen?

I could also talk about methods of killing, about how there is a far flung difference between pulling a lever to hang someone and actual beheadings done by someone, but then I'd have to talk about the prevailence of psychopathy and so on. It's complex and hazy, but the signs are all there.

>>5803542

Why do western societies let thousands of people die on the streets each year?

Humans like to demonize minority groups (unemployed, gays, women, teenagers, people with different skin colour) and attack them. Not really related to individuals fighting and stabbing people all the time, which is obviously a sign there is something wrong with them.

>>5803542

Oh also sorry I forgot to talk about your last point. In historical wars, about 15 - 20% of the servicemen accounted for about 90% of the killing. In WWII for instance, I think the figure was exactly around there, of those who were in combat situations, with the rest firing deliberately away from the enemy (posturing). In Vietname it jumped to 60%, in the first Gulf war it was 90%.

Medieval wars were shoving matches, but 90% of a war were sieges. By the end of the rare few battles that happened in a war, the losing side tended to only lose about 15% of their men, and most of those were as a result of long ranged weapons (crossbows, archers) or during the routing phase when they were chased down and the field was calamity.

Fighting isn't like in the movies. It's rough, raw and damn right scary to most people.

>>5803576

So, it's ok to kill if you've been trained by others to kill, but if you train yourself to do it then it's no ok? And how to you know Anon wasn't trained by someone else?

>>5803576
So, it's ok for a majority to murder a minority, but it's not ok for a minority to murder a majority?

>>5803597

In terms of money and social power, women are a minority group. It's not purely 'numbers', it's 'ability to affect policy'. And there's pretty strong memetic pressures keeping women 'in their place', largely enforced by other women. I mean, feel free to scream about radical feminists or whatever, but it's an undeniable fact in academic sociology and every metrics firm/town planning/marketing/anything else that needs to understand social metrics acknowledges it as ironclad.

>>5803461
I'm so jealous of your nose, mine is the "perfect cute girl nose" which I can't fucking stand.

>>5803602

I'm not passing judgement here, I'm simply saying that to actually train a regular person to kill takes a lot, since it simply seems naturally correct psychologically and considering evolutionary biology that there is a block for people to kill other people. What purpose does it serve, in the grand scheme of things? Isn't it natural that we want our species to survive? The impulse not to kill could seem the brother of the impulse to breed.

>>5803609
Oh God that's magical.

Where were you taught such drivel?

>>5803595
So, the vast majority of soldiers were unwilling to kill, and that makes them the good guys, while the small majority did all of the killing, and that makes them the bad guys? If there'd been no bad guys, just two armies full of good guys facing off against each other, would they have just shot randomly for hundreds of years until they accidently killed the other side? Or would they just shake hand and go home?

>>5803598
Isn't that just a meme?

>>5803602
>>5803617

I should clarify, I'm not saying that it is impossible for people to kill other people, anyone can. But what I am saying is that people just don't want to in most circumstances.

We can argue forever whether it's cultural or biological or psychological or this or that but I think, cross-culturally, there is a desire for the pack to survive, and for that to happen there has to be a desire to breed and a lack of a desire to kill your own species.

>>5803602

When the (largely economic) pressures regulating a large system lead to armed conflict at the instigation of the psychopaths (either natural or manufactured) who inevitably end up in positions of power, through the actions of individuals (usually non-psychopaths) put through a system of training to remove their natural desire to not kill and instead kill people, that's one thing.

When someone decides on their lonesome to start killing people, that's another thing. A thing that indicates they are unhinged. Because they are instigating all the unreasonableness of a war without any of the complexity factors that result in wars. Insanity produced by miscommunication and distance and 'other'ness is one thing, insanity produced on a personal scale by a single person is another.

>>5803635

Look at my previous post, I said I'm not passing judgement, only commenting on what has been studied.

Also consider the fact that during the American revolutionary war, when guerilla armies much smaller than British regiments were deployed, it wasn't about the killing. There were stories of a group of no more than a couple hundred revolutionaries making enough noise by both shouting and shooting and bayonet charges that they scared British detachments 10x their size into a retreat, while actually killing very few.

An Austrian king once tried to determine the killing capability of a line regiment of 100 men at the number of deaths per minute at varying ranges (100ft, 80ft and 60ft I think) and found that they hit targets a majority of the time, resulting in what would be loads of deaths per minute, but in pitched battles there were only about 1 or 2 actual shots on target per minute, which resulted in hour long battles. Why is that if not for a mental block?

>>5803646
So it's morally ok to murder so long as others have trained you to do it, but it's not ok to murder if you train yourself to do it?

Sometimes criminals are proven to have been trained by others to do what they have done. Why are they still found guilty? And it's not uncommon for a soldier to brag about how they've wanted to kill all along. Why don't they go to jail?

>>5803637
I don't think Anon considered those other people to be part of "his pack." I'm pretty sure that was dog shit anon, and he doesn't strike me as someone with many friends.

>>5803631

Various financial modeling and rating firms. Plus it's pretty obvious if you have any ability to look at physical reality.

>>5803635

If you think there's 'good guys' and 'bad guys' and not just 'human motivations', you're thinking about it wrong.

>>5803674
Ok. So there's "mentally ill" and "not mentally ill." The mentally ill do all of the killing, the not mentally ill miss their targets every time on purpose. So, if we could prevent any mentally ill people at all from becoming soldiers, then nobody will die in war anymore?

>>5803683

See this is where the argument breaks down, I'll admit. Murder is illegal but killing in war isn't? Civillian deaths are collateral damage but then what's the difference to a terrorist attack? And the statistics... the number of servicemen in combat that actually kill compared to what it used to be is... scary honestly. We've perfected the art of conditioning people to become killers.

I think the argument escalated a little. I was more originally talking about someone who got into fights.

>>5803683

You're basically strawmanning SWG's statements (not even his actual arguments) in a fairly shoddy way, so my guess is there's no real point actually talking to you. People have already explained that 'most humans don't want to fight' and 'humans who want to fight are not normal' and 'humans who want to fight and kill when there is no reason to and they aren't being forced to do so are some variety of insane', that you haven't even acknowledged (much less understood or argued against) those points is a pretty big sign there's not really much point.

>>5803703
Well then let's talk about the non-lethal application of force. There's two police officers, one who kicks a suspect in the head, one who doesn't. Is the one who did kick always mentally ill, and the one who doesn't always mentally sane? Even if the suspect resisted? Even if both policemen were in lots of danger? Or are both policemen mentally sane because they're policemen, but an ordinary citizen who kicks someone in the head is insane, and one who doesn't and chooses to get seriously hurt or killed instead sane? Or are they both insane because they're civilians? Maybe they're both sane no matter what?

>>5803761

I wouldn't know about that. Is it compulsive assault? Would they do it to a non-suspect? I'm not a clincal psychologist here, I'm not diagnosing anyone, I'm simply talking about what research suggests. If it came across as something different I apologise.

>>5803713
SraightWhiteGuy was suggesting that soldiers who refuse to kill enemy soldiers are mentally healthy, and that those that do kill enemy soldiers are mentally unhealthy. I'm just a little confused as to why a very long war is indicative of mentally healthy people making up the soldiers, and a very short war is a sign of people who are mentally ill doing the shooting, and if the soldiers were mentally healthy enough, whether a war would last forever. Are humans even capable of being that mentally healthy?

>>5803823

Consider it like this. A common question veterans get asked is "Have you killed someone?". Now, ignoring the fact that is a frankly disgusting question to ask, what is the best answer?

>>5803845
Try not to think of it as, "best" or, "worst." There's a bunch of financial, political, and psychological forces at play that drives war.

Honestly, I'm not sure why that is a disgusting question to ask. It seems like a fairly straightforward one to ask.

Obviously the "best" answer you're expecting is, "No, I have never killed anyone." But if all the soldiers answered with that, you would know that at least some of them are lying. Otherwise, both sides just decided that war was silly and went home? Maybe they declared it a draw and congratulated each other on having soldiers that wouldn't shoot anybody?

>>5803869

It's disgusting because it's a deeply personal question that takes into no real account, and shows absolute ignorance and lack of empathy, towards the verterans experience. Any person worth their salt wouldn't ask personal details about sexuality, politics, religion or finance with someone they aren't close with, and I think experiences of killing in war are at least a couple steps above that.

Of course there will be killing in war, but at the end of the day it is still killing, doesn't that mean something by our definitions of murder and mental illness? A successful soldier to some is a mass murderer to others? I dunno, it seems too late for us to have this discussion now too I gotta get some sleep but this is the sort of conversation that I really do love, man.

>>5803893
I ask people about their sexuality sometimes, and I consider myself to be worth my salt. It's how I have sex. How would people get boyfriends, girlfriends, husbands or wifes without asking about sexuality? How would people join political parties, or churches, or get jobs, without asking about politics, religion and finances? If we are only allowed to ask those things with people we know, then how can we get to know people since we're not allowed to say anything? Do you just say "hi" and "the sky is blue today" over and over? When do you "know" someone if that's all you say? Why is it ok to ask those difficult questions towards people you know? What if you think you know somebody, but they say you don't know them and you're not allowed to ask those things? And if asking all of these questions are something "salt-worthy" people never do, then am I supposed to believe that I don't know anybody who's "salt-worth"?

Honestly, I thought the conversation was a little boring. I wanted answers to questions I've never understood, and it looks like I'll be continuing to not understand them for the foreseeable future. Anyway, goodnight.

"Meme" in the original sense of the word, maybe.

Groups define themselves not just by what they are, but also by what they are not. An experience that cause a visceral, instinctive sense of wrongness or disgust when normies try to emphatically "wear" it (e.g. same-sex attraction or gender dysphoria) makes for the perfect scapegoat. Thus gays and trannies lose.

It's a great feeling when you "know" your (violent) actions are right and righteous. People love succumbing to group psychology much more than they like challenging their preconceptions.

I haven't followed the ensuing convo, sorry if I'm rehashing or severely digressing.

A meme is just an idea that's very popular with at least some sort of sizeable group, right? Like, if at least 100 people like something, then it's cool enough to be a meme?

And I'm going to be honest, I'm not interested in having a conversation about what straight people think of gay people. That subject holds very little interest for me. I don't really understand gay people who want spend all day long talking about what straight people are saying about them.

Is it impossible to know anything then? There is no such thing as right and wrong, it's just all mental? And if that's true, then is it mentally healthy, if everyone does it, or is it mentally unhealthy? Is there even anything you can do about it?

>I'm not interested in having a conversation about what straight people think of gay people

Okay, I'd rather not take this much further either. But to be clear I was responding to your "why do Muslims kill gays" by way of my Jenny Holzer quote, so talking about straight people is incidental because most people ("normies", as I put it) are straight.

Anyway, the etiology of the original question is obviously more complex, but universals of group psychology will play a part.

>Is it impossible to know anything then? There is no such thing as right and wrong, it's just all mental?

Objectively, probably yes. But people devote their lives to these questions. You should bury your mind in books or philosophy courses. Laymen on 4chan are hardly likely to challenge or enlighten you in a meaningful way.

>>5803837

it is, but i actually prefer joints, and spliffs to anything... like i'll smoke with anything if it comes up (i've smoked out of a carrot before and shit...), but i prefer the weight of spliffs and joints... i think it's just that i prefer cigarettes too

vaping just feels different... though smoking at work and it not smelling like weed is a nice bonus...

thanks

>>5804025

there's not a right and wrong in any objective sense of the words, they're subjective... but it's also subjective whether or not any of that matters so eh...

>>5804148
>But to be clear I was responding to your "why do Muslims kill gays" by way of my Jenny Holzer quote

I don't know who Jenny Holzer is, but when bringing up the fact that Muslims kill gays, I was simply pointing out that there are millions (if not billions) of people who don't "simply posture/submit." SWG seemed to think that dog shit anon must be unusual to want to hurt others that aren't like him, but I think violence towards those that are different is more common then not. Assuming any of dog shit anon's stories are true, of course, which they may well not be, but he certainly seems to wish they were.

>>5804185
>there's not a right and wrong in any objective sense of the words, they're subjective... but it's also subjective whether or not any of that matters so eh...

That was the point I was trying to make, exactly. I've quit trying to find any "greater truth" to answer that question. Personally, I think if there's no such thing as right and wrong, it's all subjective, but people can't help but think there are such things as right and wrong, and always will, then why care? Why not just enjoy your own personal sense of what is true and right? You're going to anyway, even if you say you're trying really really hard not to. Why fight it? Why not embrace the hypocrisy? You'll embrace that too whether you mean to or not, it's inevitable, so why not quit beating yourself up over it?

I can't even imagine what a world with no double standards and no hypocrisy would look like. I always have the most fun when I'm being a hypocrite, I'm not even sure an unhypocritical life would be worth living.

>>5804235

well for me personally... i see no reason to live according to other people's morals or values if i don't share them cuz well... what's the point? i think nearly everything is subjective, though i also expect people to disagree with me and think they're probably about as right as me to an extent... but that it's all largely irrelevant, and not worth caring about...

most things are grey rather than black or white in my opinion though, and the subjectivity of each individual situation is what makes something moral or immoral... which i don't think makes something count as a double standard or hypocrisy necessarily

however swg's initial point about aggression and fighting not being the standard reaction most people have, and getting into a lot of fights being indicative of personality disorders and whatnot is technically true... that sort of thing is factored into a diagnosis of something like antisocial personality disorder for an example... it isn't really a matter of subjective morality...

everything about the discussion spiraled into a bunch of other shit though... that's only loosely related

>>5803761

Since you're strawmanning that other people are saying that a policeman who arrests someone for breaking the law is performing the exact same action as someone who knifes someone for arguing with them, and that motivation and situation do not actually exist, indicates you are mentally incapable, yeah.

If you can't conceptualize the difference between 'shooting someone because of societal and legal pressure during a war' and 'shooting someone because you dislike them', you're completely insane. Your brain is malfunctioning. That is not the normal way humans think and you lack capabilities of conceptualization and imagination and empathy that other humans do have.

for some reason when people pop in to praise us for being chill it's believable for maybe five whole goddamn seconds

and it shouldn't be because shit like this happens

>tfw no tall masc protective ftm bf

>>5805081
I simply don't ascribe any moral immunity to certain policemen who kick certain innocent and non-resisting suspects in the head for fun, nor do I automatically assume that when a gay person is in a fight with a straight one that the gay one must have done something wrong and the straight one must be blameless.

Way to tone police me though. I'm glad we can both agree that me having very little respect for your opinion is a high priority.

Talk about having no capability to conceptualize, use your imagination or have empathy. You've completely misrepresented everything I've been saying, in favor or repeating strawman a couple of times.

To me, you don't need permission from somebody else to stick up for what you believe in, nor does having permission from many other people make your believes valid.

Estrogen blockers.
Their effects are reversible, right?
Does having no (or little) estrogen in your body without testosterone kill you?
Estrogen is what feminizes your body in the first place, right?

I'm a very late bloomer (fresh 18) and I think I might just have started true puberty now, fuck if I know, all I know is my hips have suddenly started getting wider and my tits much bigger n overall I've been getting much softer n fem and not even mild exercise n diet is fixing that shit so fuck, what the fuck is up.

Was wondering if estro blockers could stop that or slow it down because due to laws I've still got a few years of medical accompaniment before I can even get considered for T, otherwise that shit would be injected in my ass ASAP.

Yeah tattoos might work but it would be great to keep real nipples if I have a choice. It looks a lot better and If I'm lucky I get to keep some sensitivity.

>>5807820
It depends on the country, but I've seen one operation in the US costing 9000 dollars. I don't know if it's the full cost of if part of it was covered by insurance though.

Does t make your sexuality change like hrt does for trans girls?

>>5801265

Tucking your hair behind your ears is in no way a girl thing. Most guys do it do get their hair out of their face, a lot of girls don't because it looks ugly. If you want to look like a guy with long hair try not to wash it that frequently, stop using condition and do not style it all.

Both estrogen and testosterone can affect your sexuality, but in the majority of the cases it just makes you bi to some extent. It's more common to stay as your current sexuality though

Stupid question here. Do you go on estrogen blockers and T at the same time or just T? Are estrogen blockers a thing?

>>5808133
just testosterone, it overrides the effects sufficiently on its own

sometimes trans people who are too young to be prescribed hormones will go on blockers but that's about it

>>5808263
Hei kompis! Var det jeg trodde.

There's actually some recourse to be had outside of Riksen. I talked to psykolog Ronny Aaserud a little while ago and lege Thomas Mörk Tönseth earlier today actually, and between them and a few others (e.g. Pirelli Benestad) there's another, less gatekeepy avenue of treatment emerging through loosely associated professionals who actually give a shit about the standards of care. Now to hope Ira Haraldsen gets extremely fired like she should have been when her entire team quit in protest 9 years ago.

The downside is private treatment costs money, and some surgeries (like the hysterectomy I want) are more difficult to get because you don't have that sweet f64.0. And my conversations with Ronny and Thomas solidified my impression that Haraldsen is mercurial and vindictive. It could possibly be bad to get outside treatment if you later go through Riksen.

Anyway, you should definitely call any/all of those three people and get some advice. I'm going to bed soon, but you can also ask me anything or you can leave some info and we can chat.

Top surgery cost varies depending on the surgeon and the type of procedure done. Double incision is usually more expensive than peri because it's a longer procedure. Almost all costs I've seen are in the $5-10k range.

Mine cost ~$6400, not including stuff like transportation, hotel room, prescriptions, etc.

I have literally beat the shit out of gynocologists who tried to touch me. At the time I did not know much about trans stuff and I had not come out but I knew that the feeling was wrong. And I was also about 19-ish..don't masturbate, still don't. I just ignored a lot and I still refuse to go to many physicians and never had any sort of feminine check. I'm really paranoid about cancer but unless they give me anesthesia I guess I'll just die young.

you're nervous cuz something different is happening, but once she's there it'll probably be easier than the anticipation of the event... so there's no reason to worry, worst case scenario is it goes wrong and you find another cute girl instead... no big deal, there's a lot of cute chicks out there...

>>5809177

if that's what he's nervous about it's pretty pointless, straight chicks in relationships with cis guys are usually easier than any other chick, and they're usually easy to satisfy cuz they're not used to having a fulfilling sex life... in my experience anyway, chicks with boyfriends or husbands or whatever are honestly my favourite kinda women... you get all the fun shit, their boyfriends get all the bullshit, and i never have to put any work into it cuz they make all the first moves...

so i imagine if that's what he's worried about it's pointless... plenty of guys suck in bed, and you don't need to be cis to get a girl off

Same as >>5809002 where I don't get that bad. I tend to get very detatched when seeing a regular doctor though and extremely self conscious during the questions. (The odd looks I get for being a 28 year old virgin DO NOT help though!)

>>5809455

>>5809704
A bit of both. With weight issues not helping things. Though between that and all the other shit on my plate, I try to keep relationships a low priority. I don't need to let extra stress get to me if I don't need to. It'll only make things worse and take up time I can't spare.

Why dont you guys do martial arts?

>>5809761
Probably because the only places you can get lessons are full of kids. And being a barely-passing grown transman in an athletics class full of children probably isn't going to sit right with a lot of people.

Also what's wrong with simply owning a weapon? A lot of legbutts carry a piece or a blade. It's common sense to do so.

>>5809792

>common sense

Perhaps in america. In countries with competent law enforcement 'muh personal defense' isn't really a good excuse for knifing someone.

>>5809792

And for reference, unless your area is weird that way, there's adult gyms/dojos for nearly any martial art you care to name in even minor cities. It requires simple googling skills to find them.

This is why your liberal fucktard logic doesn't work. You'd rather make yourself someone else's responsibility instead of taking it for your own. People don't own weapons because they want an excuse to go Dexter on someone. They own them because they feel safer and more confident in their own abilities than someone else's.

You should still absolutely call police. But your immediate safety should come first. Makes it easier on them too to get a report from a live victim and take away an injured criminal than to stuff your body bag into an ambulance and no criminal around to be found.

>Martial arts

You don't need someone to teach you to learn how to do it, all you need is a practice space. If you live in the middle of bumfuck nowhere, perhaps consider living somewhere that isn't bumfuck nowhere.

>take out your gun

So you've turned 'having to get your cards cancelled' to 'potentially killing someone/being killed/shooting a bystander'. This is why legal authorities in nearly every single first world country except america will send you straight to jail (do not pass go, do not collect $200) if you 'pull a gun' (or a knife, or whatever) in any situation that does not absolutely warrant it. To note, that is defined as 'any situation that is less likely to result in bodily harm and/or death' than the one you have just created. Running away, handing over your wallet, calling for help, if you don't have a reason you didn't try to do these things rather than trying to kill someone, you get murder or manslaughter with mitigating factors, which is correct, because you chose to turn a robbery into a murder.

>>5810517

Defend yourself from.. being robbed? When your bank will refund any transactions made from your accounts (and that's if you're dumb enough not to have a pin), so you're essentially out whatever is in your wallet + time + new phone, if they bothered to take that? You think it's better to escalate that situation to one where loss of life occurs, possibly including your own? The only moral system where that makes sense is 'purity through strength', so hello again my /pol/ack friend.

>>5810588
>You don't need someone to teach you to learn how to do it, all you need is a practice space.

That's not quite correct. If you don't have someone to teach you, you really should at least have reputable books on how to perform the moves. There's no reason you shouldn't benefit from the wisdom of those that came before you, otherwise you might practice for years and still be terrible.

And secondly, you need people to practice those things you're teaching yourself on. All of the practice in the world can only take you so far, there's no substitute for real life experience. If you wait until your life is in serious danger to try out your martial arts for the first time, you're doing it wrong.

>>5810611

If your life is in danger, you shouldn't be 'using martial arts', you should be using your legs and running away. It's a situation that is extremely unlikely to occur for most people in first world countries, and often people claim it does when it hasn't.

Carrying around a gun to 'use on robbers' is exactly why i'm glad I don't live in america.

But what if you run very slowly?

I was literally always the slowest kid on the playground. The fatties ran faster than me, the girls did, even other children several grades below me did. My legs are mismatched in length, my build is tall and awkward, and my knees have never worked quite right, my spine is twisted almost 180 degrees around and I'm flat-footed.

I can't run away. But I've had great success beating the hell out of people who don't like me.

>>5810637

You can /back away/ most of the time and it works just fine.

>beating the hell out of people who don't like

Cool, so you go around starting fights with people instead of backing down and/or leaving. A+, excellent human being. And you're itching for an excuse to use a gun or a knife on people, too, if you're the same poster from before. What a fantastic example of someone who isn't a dangerous lunatic.

>>5810653
One of the times I beat the hell out of someone, it was because he swung a large stick at the back of my head when I wasn't looking. I heard it, ducked, and then beat him.

Another time, 3 men tried to mug me. The smallest grabbed me from behind around the waste, and biggest one started punching me in the face, with the third waiting his turn. So I beat them.

You just can't trick me with your lies. I'm gonna defend myself if I need to. And if you whine that I did a bad thing, I'm going to call you a liar, because you are.

>>5810403
>>5810509
>>5810498
>>5810588
>>5810630

No but I'd rather not just stand there and not even try. I can't dodge a bullet but do you think the police can get to you before the bullet does? More than likely the robber will still kill you as an after thought anyway. So if I'm going to die, I'd rather die fighting back than standing there pissing myself.

Also, if legal carry is a thing, you're less likely to be robbed anyway if the criminal thinks there's even a chance you might have a weapon. Even better if it's open carry and they see you have one.

Look up crime rates for Houston and Chicago. Same size population, same demographics, same economic status. However, Chicago is a hell hole where you can be killed just because someone likes the shoes you're wearing. Guns are illegal there so the only people who have them are criminals. Everyone else is just a potential victim.

You want more proof gun control doesn't work? Look at places like North Korea or even nazi Germany. They had gun control too and look what happened.

>>5810681
ok but what about australia. they're a shining example of gun control success.

>>5810587

I don't follow, but I do wish I was as drunk as you right now.

>>5810597

Don't people have a right to defend themselves? Besides, it is shamefully rare to get a prosecution from a mugging. It'd have to be happening outside a police station on "Mugging awareness day" for there to be a snowflakes chance in hell the guy gets caught.

Besides, it's not just you that has a risk of getting hurt. If the person mugs you, it's reasonable to say they'd mug someone else, what's to say that under those circumstances they'd decide to take more than just their money?

>>5810681

>your examples are nazi germany, north korea, and two american cities with vastly different education/employment rates

So your argument is that because the economy of the city of chicago is fucked which results in more crime, carrying guns reduces crime. Well, nice to know you're.. not cherry-picking data.. or making wild, unsupported claims.. or anything.

Crime rates in USA vs crime rates in Aus, Can, UK, Fra, Ger, pretty much punt that argument into the actual sky.

>>5810681

Also I like that in this theoretical scenario the mugger isn't after your wallet, he's after your life. I mean, muggers routinely kill the people they mug, right? That's the most normal outcome. You're better off trying for your gun and getting shot than just waiting to be executed.

/americans

>>5810704

You do have to dissect the data a little. States with low gun control laws in the US have lower gun related crime than those with strict laws. Plus, look at Switzerland and Austria. Very lax laws and very low crime.

Also if 60% of gun homocides are actually suicides then you have to be very sceptical of someones definition of "crime".

>>5810635

Why not just do the test and if it comes back as positive just be like "free mastectomy pls and I don't want them reconstructed". Must be worth a try right?

>>5810697

People have rights under law. In the US, that includes shooting people you think might be about to attack you, or who are attempting to rob your possessions.

In other more civilized countries, you do not have the right to murder people willy-nilly for attempting to take your possessions (or for being black and walking down the street) but must genuinely feel danger to your life (and be able to prove the situation warranted that feeling, and that your action was required to preserve your life).

The idea being that human life > $30 in someone's wallet and their flip phone. And that convincing people to carry around weapons incites individuals to violence. Both completely proven ideas for hundreds of years.

>>5810715

No area of the US effectively has gun control or gun laws. Non-policed/searched land borders between states means guns are rife and rampant throughout the country no matter what the local laws might say. And the expectation of individuals to both have guns (or other weapons) and to shoot at anyone they think might be a criminal is high. This is reflected quite completely by violent crime rates in the US vs violent crime rates in other first world countries.

A 'gun homicide' is not defined as such if the dead person is the one who used the gun. This is true of every major data collection agency and of all US police statistics. That's either a myth or an outright lie. The only time this would not be the case is misreporting by an officer or station house for some reason (such as disguising a suicide as a murder for local social or political reasons), which I imagine would be relatively rare because there is serious jail time associated with doing that, and people are generally jail-time-averse.

>Comapring two examples in the same environment with a single variant is cherry picking now apparently.

As for those countries, how's it going with things like the muslim rape gangs? Or the rise in crime rates? Maybe because the gun bans happened long before you were born that you didn't notice. Or just because you suck your government's dick and just believe when they tell you everything is okay and normal instead of judging for yourself.

>>5810711
Because that's how robberies routinely go in the cities here. If you kill first, there wont be anyone around to call the police or snitch out on you. Giving you more time to loot the register and other valuables before someone who thinks that they heard a gunshot can call instead.

>gun nutters shitting up the ftm general

fucking christ is there anything you faggots wont turn into a huge debate? most people aren't for "taken yur gurns awei!" they're for stricter gun laws to help reduce mass shootings at schools and shit you slack jawed inbred hicks. No one is delusional enough to believe it'll magically make them all go away but it WILL reduce them and even if it's one less every year that's still better than nothing.

thanks, but... looks don't really make that much of a difference i don't think... idk i have no problem dating someone i'm not physically attracted to (same as i have no problem with dating someone just cuz i find them physically attractive) and i know other people feel the same...

aside from that if you don't care for your face work on your body, if you don't care for either work on your clothes and while you're doing that work on expanding your range of conversational topics with new hobbies and learning shit and experiences and whatnot... then even if you don't dress well, and aren't attractive you'll be appealing anyway...

the way people carry themselves is another thing that makes them attractive... you've never found someone appealing like you'd totally fuck them even though you knew they weren't attractive just cuz of some other quality they've had? a lot of people work like that...

and i mean... let's also be fair here part of you judging your appearance is affected by you being trans so for all i know you might be cute... and i don't think i'm anything special honestly, i mean... i don't argue it, but that's the truth of it and i hear otherwise but yeah... i'm high but my point is, what you feel about yourself isn't what other people are gonna feel about you... and it's just... not necessarily true so yeah... regardless of what you look like it's not necessarily true

>rural US is as bad as Somalia with rape
You're probably a radfem who believes the US is a rape culture too if you really think that's true. I grew up in rural US. People are ignorant assholes but there's no rape epidemic going on. It's actually probably worse in the cities where drugs and gangs are more abundant. Not every place where there's cornfields is like out of the movie Deliverence. It's mostly the religious old people who are the assholes anyway.

But sure, next time you're in any kind of danger, have fun defending yourself with your "kung fu" instead. I'm guessing you're an Aussie too considering how much you're singing the praises of Australia in this thread. So if not people, then what about your deadly wildlife? Is your "kung fu" gonna save you from a pissed off roo?

You also keep pointing out how "uncivilized" american culture is. Which, if you really think that, wouldn't you want a means to prevent yourself from being a victim if you lived here if you believe our people are so violent?

>tfw all mass shootings happen in gun-free zones

Yeah those sure work out, don't they? It's almost as if putting up a sign that says "no one here has an efficient means to defend themselves" draws in psycho people looking for easy targets. Who'dathunkit?

>>5811599

whether i pass or not people usually think i'm younger than i am... it's kinda weird, but on the bright side i can get away with being borderline retarded and shit at being an adult...


>>5811688

not gonna argue a compliment lol so thanks... it's not like i think i'm like completely flawed and awful etc i just... am very aware of my flaws

>>5811936

why eat at a place that has a kids' menu though? if there's a kids' menu the food is gonna be shit... and kids' menu items are usually garbage like mac and cheese and fried chicken...


>>5812021

you know... it went without saying that you're from rural usa... just saying...

>>5812292
nah, in the places i go in england the kids menu is usually things like the adult meals but smaller in size. maybe rarely fishfingers, but thats only for the picky children.

i either have something off the kids menu, or i ask for a half-portion/to-go box.

>>5812312

i don't normally eat in restaurants cuz i really don't like to eat food unless someone i know cooked it and i've seen them cook before... and really mostly just if my s/o cooks or i do... cuz otherwise it really bothers me, but to you know... be human and shit i'll force myself sometimes, and then i just split things with my s/o usually...

i can only go to so many places anyway though cuz mostly vegan + a million other things i can't eat... but in the us every place with a kids' menu may as well also have a sign that says "never eat here" in front...

How old were you guys when you figured out you were trans?

>>5812354


+ and by "mostly" i mean i eat honey... i was vegetarian for years, but lyme destroyed my ability to enjoy things like yogurt, cheese, and eggs (i've always thought milk was fucking gross though so that wasn't a change at least) among other things...

>>5812362
15. i'm 20 now.

>>5812354
>tfw you can't eat at restaurants because you have an extremely limited diet

>>5812362

i've known since i was a kid (3 or 4) but i didn't wanna be so denial and repression 'til i was like 21 or 22... idk i remember the exact moment i really had to admit it to myself, like where i was and what was going on, but everything else is a sorta blur cuz i was smoking a lot of pcp laced weed and popping a lot of pain killers and benzos at the time + drinking...

>>5812373
How did you find out?

>>5812373

i can usually go to asian places, or like specialty places that cater to limited diets and whatnot (a lot of vegetarian and vegan places do), but it's easier to just stay home or like... i go places and just get black coffee and chill while other people eat

>>5812401
i met an older trans person online and everything sort of just clicked. like, oh, i found out that trans people exist. this may be what i've been feeling for my life.

i did some reading and looked at trans people's experiences(the person i met was a trans woman and i didn't even know trans men existed until around that time) and here i am now.

>>5812409
i'm on a low carb diet + i'm lactose intolerant, so, my options are pretty limited all the time ;_; there's steakhouses i guess, but, i'm not too big on red meat on general.

>>5812409

+ like i said i prefer it when i can see the food being prepared, i have very specific issues and standards with food prep and it's hard for me to not have that control... it makes me anxious when i don't, like drinking out of cans lol

>>5812432

i can't have sugar, gluten, dairy, eggs, artificial sweeteners, a lot of food additives, i don't eat meat, and then i also can't have like salad either cuz lettuce kills my fucking stomach... and then i never know how i'm gonna react to other things like sometimes i can eat broccoli other times it's just an awful painful experience... same with brussel sprouts, onions, spinach... actually all greens and all raw vegetables... sometimes rice and potatoes fuck with me too... apples... at it's worst i'm limited to liquids or like peanut butter avocado and bananas...

i also shouldn't really have alcohol, but i drink sometimes anyway... that's a bit like playing russian roulette though cuz sometimes the pain from that is insanely bad... other times worth it... so far jager is the only thing i can drink without too much of an issue but i gotta space it out...

>>5812486
Holy shit, that sounds terrible. How do you even live, being that limited? By the way, by jager did you mean jaegermeister?

>>5812486
w-why senpai?

>>5812510

i did mean that yeah...

i don't really have a choice, the last time i ate pizza i ended up with mouth sores, stomach cramps, dizziness, feeling like i had a hangover the next day, and my back and neck felt like they were fused together tighter than usual... last time i had eggs it was hives, itchiness, vomiting etc...

i'm always in some level of pain, certain foods just make it worse or different or add additional symptoms... it's shit, but it's also just what i gotta deal with

>>5812512

lyme disease + so far undiagnosed digestive issues... my health is pretty shit... even when i'm careful there's pain and issues

>>5812572
>>5812510

+ like i can deal with the fact that i'm probably gonna feel my intestines and they're gonna hurt and sometimes i'll feel the same pain in my wrists and other joints (mostly my wrist on whichever side the pain is on) that i feel in them... but like i'd rather not have that + mouth sores and vomiting so cheese and bread aren't worth eating...

it's just a lot of weighing my options as far as symptoms go... so like... pizza isn't worth it but alcohol comes with getting drunk and getting drunk is worth the risk of excruciating pain (my ears pop, i'll like feel my jaw and pain shooting up to my temples and down towards my neck, my back and neck will tense up, my vision will get weird, etc, burning pain in my intestines... ) cuz it isn't every time, but sometimes it's after one drink and there's no way to really guess how it'll turn out

>>5812362
When was really young I never identified much with boys my own age, but I admired and identified with adult men.

By 15 I had made up my mind that I wanted to get top surgery and go on T. Nothing in particular made it click. Just browsing the web and reading things that made sense to me. But I pushed it back down because my parents were abusive and after testing the waters I concluded I didn't want to take further risks with them. Their new age "anything goes" didn't reach as far as transition. Because disliking my body would make me a misogynist. Among other things.

I fucking hate new age woo woo. It's the skeleton key of reality. Open and close whatever doors suit and soothe you. Abuse your kids and when they have panic attacks just blame chakra misalignment or whatever flavor horseshit you're into at the moment.

I moved out at 17. I pass easily and just coasted on that until I was about 19 and puberty 2.0 kicked in. Hips from here to China. Then I began the long-winded formal process, and I got on T a little while ago when I turned 21.

>>5813092
Oh, damn. Does shit like puberty 2.0 really happen at 19 or was what happened to you random? If it's not just you then I better get on T real soon.

>>5813092
i have a similar situation. i'm 20 and still with them, though :( hope i can get out soon. movincg out in this economy is fucking hard.

>>5813139

people are different... i never went through puberty 2.0 i went through puberty really young and haven't grown since i was 11 or 12...

might not happen to you

>>5813157
Well I hope it doesn't happen. Yeah, I haven't grown taller since I was 13 or something. Unfortunately I have been in other ways, but luckily it's not that bad, so I guess all I can do is hope I don't get puberty 2.0 and get T as soon as possible.

>>5813139
It was a little on the nose. My body never really stopped changing, I didn't suddenly get super wide hipped. But even after main puberty was over I was still settling into an adult shape and I got obsessed with the changes around 19. I only felt worse during the next couple years, though it was not all bad: I put on muscle with no effort, and so my shoulders got wider too.

>>5813144
Shit I feel you. I got lucky with my living arrangements. Make it a priority to get out. It's so much easier to just THINK when you don't have to worry about parents bearing down on you over whatever. It's just in the last couple of years I've started Healing (trigger word) from the c-ptsd I developed and started feeling/behaving like a normal person.

chill

T really is a hell of a drug. I've only got PCOS-tier hormonal imbalance and I think my hairline is receding. I'm pretty sure this isn't meant to be funny but, fuck it, stupid shit keeps coming up.

>>5812362
I knew something was up with my gender as early as 11 or 12, and I started feeling really badly dysphoric around 15 or 16, but I didn't know for a really long time that trans men existed and even after I found out about them I didn't think that I "counted." I didn't actually start thinking that the word "transgender" could apply to me until I was 27.

>>5810635
Yeah, you should definitely talk to a doctor first. You could also hypothetically find a doctor who will call a false positive for you.
