Now that /tttt is mostly a dead board, where is the next best

>>8004437
Since when is it a dead board?

>>8004556
Since OP is not a tranny and subtly tries to convince you to leave.

>>8004558
>Convince you to leave
Yeah to /pol/, with my best regards and to piss them off so hard that they come to /LGBT/ and render it unusable.

I am trans you idiot, what are you even talking about? I've been here over a year and lately for many reasons it's become more and more obvious to me how dead / dying this board is. So I'm looking for suggestions for other spaces that aren't populated with tumblr transtrenders I can spend my time at.

Me and most of the other regulars here have moved on to personal blogs and other outlets that revolve around specific concentrations, as well as irl activism. There's no other "communal" space like /lgbt/ but why would there need to be?

Because I enjoy being around like minded people that are somewhat critical / open to different interpretations of trans related subjects / issues. Also I've always appreciated the brutal honesty of this board which is quite unique in comparison to places like reddit.

I think I just messed up big time, how do I salvage the situation while still being true to my beliefs / opinions?

>>8006868
You could start by not drooling the ideas of some hack and instead talking about things that actually give you a personality.

>>8006868
Lmao stop just stop, this is what happens when you let 4chan influence the way you actually talk to people IRL

>>8006941
I don't know why I mentioned it okay? It just felt natural and I kind of forgot 4chan is somewhat of a vacuum in the sense that no one really thinks blanchard is legitimate outside of small pockets of different transgender communities, one of which being 4chan. Also it's not actually as if I WANT to believe his theories, I just have become so paranoid and convoluted by them that I have no choice but to obsess over them until I feel like I can fully reject it.
>>8006959
It's not that cringe, I promise.

>>8006868
blanchardian anon here, unfortunately it's one of those topics on which most people who disagree with it can't possibly comprehend why you'd agree
i've found a decent number of people who accept my explanations for it, but they tend to be 1. high iq enough to not immediately shut down when people say things they disagree with and 2. already know me as a fountain of knowledge (a reputation i manage to accidentally develop in any offline community i hang around)
so kinda do that

I can't.. It's not that simple you don't understand. And quit assuming I was "obsessively" talking about Blanchard's theories to them, I literally just casually asked them what they thought about his typology and it immediately #triggered the shit out of them, I wasn't expecting that strong of a response to be honest..

>>8007097
>so kinda do that

....Do what?

Also you realize almost every text about his writings requires a certain level of "glossing over" the especially transphobic parts / language? Do you think I should I recommend they read the classic "Men Trapped in Men's Bodies?" to get a better understanding of his typology, surely then they will understand where I'm coming from?

I think I just screwed myself beyond repair.

>>8007178
>Do what?
meet trans people
talk to trans people
figure out how open any given one of them is to heterodox thought and accepting of 'other tranny believes things that go against the trans mainstream'
discuss typology with heavily selected group of trans people open to those things
enjoy conversation
>Do you think I should I recommend they read the classic "Men Trapped in Men's Bodies?" to get a better understanding of his typology, surely then they will understand where I'm coming from?
i don't, for exactly the reason you outlined
i think it's a pretty important fundamental but i also don't think the majority of trans people are able to get into a situation where they can understand the debate in the first place
but they try and it just ends in all this bullshit

>>8007178
You really don't think that obsessing over it in your free time doesn't bubble up into your social behavior at other times when the subject is at hand? No one is that perfect anon.

>>8007195
I'm sure you are well aware but let me just lament for a moment on the fact that almost every trans person I meet ends up being some ridiculous SJW that believes in the "legitimacy of trans identities" while simultaneously thinking gender is purely a social construct that should be abolished or some nonsense like that.

>>8007249

But it's a necessary theory for self regulation as to determine wether or not you're worthy of transition. And a useful way to figure when dysphoria is deserving of medical attention (albeit that's just one tiny facet of a facet... etc...)

>>8007287
This person is correct in that most trans identities, especially late transitioning ones, cannot be proven as they've been polluted by the advent of sexuality during and after puberty. Not to mention that childhood early transitioners are the only ones to be "proven" trans through strict medical and psychological evaluation.

>>8007296
This, alt-rights NEED to be taught about the illegitimacy of most trans identities.

>>8007287
Im with you anon. I honestly feel that the main reason that blanchards ideas are so hated among trans people is simply because they are a hard pill to swallow. I read "Men Trapped in Men's Bodies" with an open mind. I found myself wanting to disagree with it, yet not being able to if looking at it objectively.

I hate the typology as it stands, I hope that it's refined to a version that I feel I can identify with or abolished completely. I just can't help but learn about it because I have no way of denying at least parts of it's legitimacy, at least for now.

I wondered this too
I feel that since I'm bisexual I must be at least partially AGP but nothing of Blanchard's typology really applies i.e. never cross dressed or fetishised femininity. However, when it comes to sexual intimacy I have to imagine myself as having a female body because otherwise I just want to die
