He’s weird bc he fucked a couch. It’d be less weird if he’d rawdogged it bc it’s not going to get pregnant or have an STI, but the glove thing just made it fucking extra bizarro.

What a weird crusade to persecute one person and obsess over strangers’ genitals

This was a weird piece of circular drama nobody cares about.

Which is a very normal pathway through life.

It really never will. Every time I’m reminded he fucked a couch I laugh uproariously like it’s the first time I heard it.

Their obsession with us is really fuckin weird

I’m a 5’11 tran and most of my partners have been within 2” of my height when I was a man and after.

I prefer it. I like looking my partner straight in the eye without her looking up at me. My 5’7 girlfriend’s modest height differential still made me look down to kiss her or hunch over to put my neck on her shoulder from behind.

It’s a minor gripe and not worth dismissing a mate over. But still, tall girls are for me more desirable.

WHen you find some it's going to be such an experience for you. One of the other parents at my kids daycare is trans, and I'd seen her in the halls but never talked to her until a daycare function on a weekend. Instant chemistry, and it's like the express lane for closeness and emotional intimacy. You skip most of the small talk and icebreaker stuff and go straight to the heavy, because they already know most of your backstory because they've lived it.

We've been the best of friends since, and when our kids ended up in the same room last year it's only gotten better. Both of our toddlers live completely parallel lives as single kids of split parents of a cis and trans mom, are each other's best friends at this point, and will have a lot to talk about when they're teenagers.

Welp I thought this pfp was a pokéball until I looked directly at it much more closely.

Genuinely pretty well. My breasts have been growing for six months, I look great in a two-piece, changed my documents last year, and figured out my wardrobe and identity about six/seven years ago.

I wish I’d known it was my voting patterns that did it, I just thought it was this bottle of pills. Could have saved me a lot of effort to just “let nature take its course.”

That’s all it takes? I’ve wasted so much time and resources on doctors, labwork, and estrogen.

It’s not so much that it legitimizes the transes, but it does challenge the worldview that trans is abnormal and cis is normal. Their argument is that they don’t need an adjective. There are trans women and “regular” women, for example.

One wouldn’t use the same dichotomy with Black people and “just people” to represent white people (these examples are reductive and binary for simplicity).

Giving the majority a label pulls it out of being “the default” and equalized its position with the minorities, and they HATE that

Obviously. The point is they’re more obsessed with me and mine than I am, and I live it every day.

Edited: obsessed with us and we live it

I am trans, and have been out for eight years. I don’t think I have 2500 selfies, memes, or text messages with even the slightest connection to transness combined.

I did.

This.

I’ve been very surprised at some modest shrinkage and it’s affected me in a very negative way. Male pride seems to be something I didn’t give up on the transition.

Silver linings. I went from a swimdress last year to the skimpiest triangle two piece after only six months of E. And look great. It’s got decent bulge support being maybe a size smaller than I’d appropriate, and being kind of tighter helps hold a tuck in place.

The townspeople can tell if they really scrutinize, but given the number of camel toes at the pool, my equipment on display isn’t that offensive. They have two lumps, I have three. In passing though, it, well… passes.

It’s an issue of available suitable partners.

But I’m also not in a huge hurry and like another Redditor said “make my life better and don’t cramp my space.” I’m kind of living for myself at the moment and settling for anything I can get is not a healthy long term choice.
