idk what I'm looking for from this post. But I'm honestly fine with how my face looks. But unless I look feminine, most bi-women are going to keep assuming I want to dom and top without even asking (aka treat me like a man...). Lesbians won't be attracted to me. 99% of people won't perceive me as a women and interact the same they do with other women

I think I can get FFS lined up in some months but I feel extremely weird changing my face so drastically and suddenly. I'm dissociating extremely hard rn just thinking about it. I can't imagine how bad it'd be after the surgeries. I feel like I'd lose a big part of my identity. I'm deathly afraid of looking into a mirror and not recognizing the face staring back at me

There's something about the face being by far the premier identifier for human beings here. Because if they were easy/safe, I totally would get surgeries to contract my shoulders and ribcage in an instant LOL

Honestly, so much of what I do to transition is just so the world will interact with me like a woman. I also quite like my "natural" deep heavy 75hz voice tbh. But I'm still voice training at a light valley girl 200-250hz range because I can't look masculine and have that deep a voice for people to treat me like a woman. At least the voice training is okay though, it was something that I developed in steps + I can still talk nearly the same as I did previously when I want so I don't feel divorced from who I am

Gender in its current form is so fucking stupid I want something like what some indigenous cultures had

Cutis masculinus virus and cutis femininus virus are the two members of the cutisvirus family known to infect humans. It is estimated that >90% of the world's population has been infected with a cutisvirus at one point or another. While the viruses may also be contracted through exchange of bodily fluids, they are still primarily spread by skin-to-skin contact, hence the name cutisvirus from the Latin word for "skin". Early-stage cutis masculinus infection may cause uterine hyperplasia, and early-stage cutis femininus infection may cause prostatic hyperplasia, both resulting in abdominal pain and urinary incontinence colloquially known as "cooties" (a corruption of "cutis"). Early-stage infections are most common among prepubescent children. Cutis m. infection in a male and cutis f. infection in a female have no clear symptoms, although these are still capable of spreading the infection — this is why schoolyard children tend not to fraternize with the opposite sex, declaring that they all "have cooties". By the onset of puberty most children have developed an immunity to early-stage cutisviruses and are no longer infectious.

Symptoms of cooties typically resolve within a week of infection, thereafter cutis m. migrates to and lies dormant in the ovarian cells, and cutis f. migrates to and lies dormant in the testicular cells. In about 1 in 75 cases, cutisviruses will reactivate after years or even decades of dormancy, resulting in gonad transformation syndrome (GTS, colloquially known as "the trans"), where the viruses in their replication end up modifying the gonad cell genes in such a way that the granulosa and theca cells spontaneously become Sertoli and Leydig cells (cutis m. infection), resulting in infertility and masculinization; and likewise Sertoli cells become granulosa cells (cutis f. infection), resulting in infertility and feminization.

Those with immunity to the early stage of cutisviruses that causes "cooties", will in all likelihood not have immunity to the late stage that causes "the trans" — the two stages are so different that they are for all intents and purposes different viruses, setting the cutisviruses apart from other latent viruses like VZV. Therefore cutisvirus infection from someone with GTS may result in GTS in the infected, or may make the infected a carrier of GTS.

This is why persons with GTS, colloquially termed "trans people", are ostracized from society — lest women be masculinized, men feminized, and children sterilized. Although prophylaxes have been developed, it is still a good idea for the sake of public health to screen potential sexual partners for GTS.

In summary: trans people have an advanced form of cooties capable of infecting adults.

We have to stop Project 2025...

But I feel powerless at times.

Oh look, it's me.

I dunno where else to post this, but honestly I was surprised at how good I looked with the combo. Snapped a pic or two and I'm back in my normal night time wear rn, but it was fun!

The way I reacted to my bud on my trans Floridian Discord server announcing this 👌🏿

Happy Early May Day!

My girlfriend (23) and I (M22) have been together for three years now. My girlfriend started her transition last year. And at first I was fine with her maid costumes and cat ears, and the way she voice trained by saying "ara ara", but lately my girlfriend has been taking all this anime stuff way too far. Yesterday's incident was the worst one yet. That afternoon I tried to call my girlfriend to invite her over, but she wouldn't answer… Then about ten minutes later I saw out of my front window, an M1 Abrams tank driving down the street, while being chased by police cars and helicopters.…Yeah, it turns out that my girlfriend had taken the whole "tanks are feminine" spiel from Girls und Panzer a bit too literally. And honestly, I should've guessed that "I'm going to joyride a tank" was what my girlfriend meant when she tweeted "Miho Nishizumi is so gender, #MTF #goals", but I just didn't think my girlfriend had it in her to deal $230,000 in property damage and injure 12 people. So yesterday's incident has put a serious strain on our relationship, and I could really just use some advice. Thanks!

AND I DON'T HAVE TO WAIT ANYMORE. PLANNED PARENTHOOD JUST HAD A LAST MINUTE CANCELLATION AND CAN FIT ME IN FOR T O M O R R O W. FIRST APPOINTMENT IS IN 26 HOURS

autocorrect keeps wanting to make it "envy," which isn't entirely wrong

How did you figure out you were enby?

I've come to realize that my super-femme presentation is a form of masking, and I'm trying to figure out where I actually fall in the spectrum of gender.

So yeah, how did you figure out you weren't "gender" and were actually enby?

Does just thinking that maybe I'm not either mean that probably I'm not either? Is the state of being unsure and kinda in-between where you identify or what?

original english tl for comparison

diversity win!! this trans girl in a game for children is being maliciously misgendered by her family!

In contrast to the gender binary, Bugis society recognizes five genders: makkunrai, oroané, bissu, calabai, and calalai.The concept of five genders has been a key part of their culture for at least six centuries, according to anthropologist Sharyn Graham Davies, citing similar traditions in Thailand, Malaysia, India and Bangladesh.

Oroané are loosely comparable to cisgender men, makkunrai to cisgender women, calalai to transgender men, and calabai to transgender women,[  while bissu are loosely comparable to androgynous or intersex people and are revered shamans or community priests. The classification of the calabai, calalai, and bissu as third genders is disputed. These roles can also be seen as fundamental occupational and spiritual callings, which are not as directly involved in designations such as male and female.

In daily social life, the bissu, the calabai, and the calalai may enter the dwelling places and the villages of both men and women

even more bluntly: What were those completely and utterly ridiculous thoughts that you had in hindsight that make you wonder how on earth you ever even managed to convince yourself that you were cis? I'll start:

I remember browsing through a bunch of trans memes on reddit (already very cisgenderly) and I kept coming across ones that were some variation on stepping out of a time machine to meet your past self as a different gender. For maybe about 2 months until I realized that it really was true, I admitted to myself and two of my close friends who are both trans women that i would just not be surprised if I stepped out of the time machine from the future as a trans woman. my only thoughts on that were basically to laugh it and say "yeah that tracks". Somehow I could admit that I think it's totally plausible to be a trans girl in the future yet still be 100% cis

anyone have any other fun thoughts like that?

I very recently started training my voice, and I used the Voice Tools app that I've seen a lot of other trans people use. I've always been scared of doing it because of the large portion of trans people who describe it as extremely difficult. It is difficult, and I've been so stressed that I didn't want to do it because I thought it'd be too frustrating, but my first W of it is that I learned how to harness an androgynous pitch while speaking. I know that pitch isn't necessarily everything for gendering a voice, and it still feels unnatural, forced, and exaggerated to talk with anything except my "male" voice, but I'm definitely gonna keep going. I feel proud of myself because I used to be very terrible at manipulating my voice, so the fact that I'm at this point alone is a shock to me. This result was from me reading a whole passage on the app's analysis page.

FYI: I want my voice to be androgynous, not feminine, so voice training might even end up being easier for me as a non-binary person than it is for most binary trans women.

It never even started it is so over

:3
