/lgbt/ - LGBT

>it’d be the same procedure as getting a vaccine
Well, I haven’t been able to get vaccines either. I’m overdo for my last two vaccinations, and I’ve tried multiple appointments to try again at getting them for both. However Everytime I just break down into a panic attack.

>testosterone creme
As in topical testosterone? I’ve heard a lot of conflicting things about them whenever I researched it. Mostly I saw people say that all it does is help prevent atrophy but it doesn’t stop the other side effects. Then again, I’ve never heard from anybody who actually uses topical testosterone directly.

>t4t
Yeah you’re probably right about that. I just don’t tend to see a lot about trans guys online lol

>>4149
>There’s so many things that seemingly make it impossible for me to start hrt.
they don't
either you take it or you don't, if you don't want to take it now then just don't, you can always start later if you change your mind
>but mlm relationships seem to be much more loving and deeper than straight relationships are
their isn't really a difference, people who think their is, are just seeing greener grass somewhere else
t bi guy

>>4153
But I can’t just start later. The longer I wait, the less chance there will be that I’ll pass.

get some good, highly concentrated e gel or spray. either find some local homebrew gal near you or try making it yourself. works for me, but ymmv.
woman up and get that blood test. the doctor is a professional, has done it a bunch of times and nothing will go wrong. tell them you have this fear but want to get a blood test. they can help you and once you've done it, it'll become increasingly easier in the future.
of course needles are still better, you won't have to apply as often and you can measure exactly how much you're injecting. but you can always switch to needles later.

What do you even want to aim for?

>>4134
I would but i dont want to make random women uncomfortable. Especially with how socially awkward i am, im more likely to come off as a weird man randomly approaching them

>>4111
This is just entirely projecting your own insecurities

>>4143
You're not going to make random women uncomfortable. Most people love talking to others. Start going to a sewing club or writing group or something. It sounds like you are scared of other women because you haven't been around them enough. The answer to that isn't to keep away, but to intermingle, learn what it means to be a woman.

Your aufferings are self-imposed. Cringe is downstream from narcissism.

>>4155
People like you have completely butchered the meaning of narcissism and just use it like a buzzword. No, having a sense of cringe isn't a sign of Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Also OPs suffering is very much not self imposed, not everyone has a prideful and self-loving personality

>>4155
nice empty platitudes regurgitated from social media midwit

stop normalizing boys kissing, homophobia makes for great angst stories

so… what is a woman?

A miserable little pile of secrets. But enough talk…

HAHA just fuck everything dood

Anyone caught up with Arknights lore know if there's queer themes going on with Mon3tr? I know Logos is explicitly trans, so it's not like they'd be in uncharted waters.

I'm not that concerned about spoilers since I'm already sorta spoiled on a bunch of stuff just knowing about Mon3tr's catgirl form.

How will anybody know you exist without social media?

OP is very transphobic

>>3956
then don't do it, lol

You should stay alive so we could laugh at you or cry for you. One or the other I don't know.

You will never be a gender

Having high testosterone doesn't actually make you more manly, it just makes you lose all your hair by 30.

Also, taking a few doses of HRT isn't gonna do anything other than let you scope out the vibes. It's not like a single dose is gonna give you boobs. Try it and see if it makes you feel better or worse, then respond accordingly.

Just aim for the interpolation of the two. Gender ain't boxes.

>>4137
I want to wear feminine clothes in public too, but I want to do it because I'm out with my boyfriend.
cunt.

>>4138
Gender kinda are boxes though, atleast society treats it like such. Even most of the queer community treats it as such. If I aimed to be both a femboy and a transgirl, then I wouldnt be welcomed in transfem spaces for being a femboy, but I also wouldnt be welcomed in femboy spaces for being a transgirl. I wouldnt fit in anywhere. So im unfortunately forced to choose one.

>>4137
>all boys are masculine! Femboys dont exist
You sound dumb

>>4140
>If I aimed to be both a femboy and a transgirl, then I wouldnt be welcomed in transfem spaces for being a femboy, but I also wouldnt be welcomed in femboy spaces for being a transgirl. I wouldnt fit in anywhere. So im unfortunately forced to choose one.
Sounds like a twitter thing. I've seen people straddle / mix both all the time.
Solution is find healthier spaces, rather than seek conditional acceptance in spaces that require you shatter yourself to fit in. I suggest fedi and the personal websites scene.

>>4141
It seems like almost every community online requires me to shatter myself to fit in. I actually used to be apart of the personal website seen, but its not really a community since theres no way to interact with other people. I havent tried fediverse though

>>2608
Not to be "That Guy"
but the difference between bi and pan is;

pan: you are attracted to people *irregardless* of gender (you don't find gendered traits to be specifically attractive)

bi: you find people attractive *because* of their gender traits, whether it be masc/fem/neutral.

the names for both of them are kind of confusing tbh

>>2146
>how malleable is orientation and gender identity in adulthood?
Yes
We can make everyone queer or bi (etc).
I came to this "LGBT" thing late (like 5 years into adulthood or more, is fuzzy)
So I will not give out marching orders at this time. It certainly is in the realm of possibility.
Whether it should be done, that's a different issue. We need to think about whether we should in addition to if we could.
>>1297
>attraction to cisgender men and women
Sounds nutso.
I am mostly straight. I have of course jacked it to all sort of trans folk (girlish boys, as well, possibly, is fuzzy).

>bi: you find people attractive *because* of their gender traits, whether it be masc/fem/neutral
Gendered traits are not that important.

>So how malleable is orientation and gender identity in adulthood? I've heard of HRT changing orientation before

I dont think hrt actually changes orientation. Most examples of it are just straight or gay people becoming bi when they take hrt, but its most likely that they were always bi but just couldnt imagine themselves with both genders until they transitioned into the body they wanted. The only thing hrt is changing is their bodies, not their sexuality.
>>1297
Im pretty sure that it doesnt have anything to do with whether theyre cis or not. Tons of bi people are trans or date trans people

>>1656
based

Probably the hideous, clashing color design on the flag. Most of the tumblrsexuals have terrible flags. Bi Pride flag is the best design (it was designed by a gay man)

You need to get it out of your head that “modern construct” is bashing. My PC is modern and so is my Switch. It’s not a dirty word. Nothing wrong with being new.

First of all, scholarly work is about argument and evidence, not how new something is. I could make up some garbage about the moon being made of cheese, publish it, and brag about how it’s better that 30 year old NASA studies because it’s more recent, but that doesn’t make it true. Secondly, you provided no criticism of any of their points.

D’Emilio’s basic argument is that people who had same sex desires or engaged in same sex behavior were distributed throughout society. Industrial capitalism brought them all to cities where they developed a unique culture and identity and the notion of “being gay” was then invented. There’s nothing homophobic or ahistoric about this and simply pointing out that two guys fucked once 500 years ago doesn’t prove D’Emilio wrong.

You want to hold on to some essentialist understanding of identity, that LGBT identities are just baked into nature. Well nothing is. Come back when you’ve learned to do more than lame Wikipedia research and playing the homophobe card.

<Come back when you’ve learned to do more than lame Wikipedia research and playing the homophobe card.
Ok, lad.

Just in case you aren't the dipshit who deleted the posts I replied to, or who got banned, this is what I'm arguing against and what you're defending, lol.

I doubt a homophobe will have much of a fun time on /lgbt/.

>>4005
That's like saying heterosexual people never existed until industrial capitalism or for matter that "woman" and "man" never existed. Or it's also like saying "Black" or "white" people never existed before colonialism.

Of course, the bourgeois family never existed before industrial capitalism. But queer is a privative defined in terms of exclusion from straight bourgeois society. "Straight" is the social construct. Gay is not.

>>4114
>That's like saying heterosexual people never existed until industrial capitalism
That's true. Before the modern period, European society was much more sexually fluid and there were harsh punishments for sex acts that violated the moral law. Monks would mock 'marry' their cloister brothers while remaining celibate while sodomy was a mortal sin. Pederasty and child sexuality were common. Even then, the Church barely enforced punishments for sodomy until the Crusades, after which pederasty and sodomy became associated with 'Saracens' and Jews. Even the term 'heterosexual' was coined by Victorian sexologists like Krafft-Ebing as the mental disease of "excessive attachment to the opposite sex" way back in the 1880s.

>Or it's also like saying "Black" or "white" people never existed before colonialism.
If you were a Zulu tribesman in the 1600s, would you have identified yourself as a black person? As someone who's skin color was black? Its colonialism and enslavement that opened the door for a common black identity because it ripped enslaved Africans out of their native culture, severing their family ties, severing them from their language and region and placing them in a lower caste called 'black.' Its only through enslavement that people came to be classified according to their skin color and built a shared culture based on the class position they'd been forced into. There were no "black people" before colonialism. People saw themselves as Hausa, Igbo, Zulu etc. they related to their own tribes, languages, and religions, and practically everyone around them had dark skin, so there was no sense of being "black" as some special identifier. In texts written in native African languages like Ge'ez or Hausa, the authors never self identify as black.

>"Straight" is the social construct. Gay is not.
Straight and gay both go together. A straight person is someone who, by definition, is not gay and a gay person is someone who, by definition, is not straight. You can't know one without knowing the other. If queer is defined by exclusion from bourgeois society, then queer is a social construct because its contingent on bourgeois society for it to come into existence in the first place. Like how 'proletarian' is a product of bourgeois society and didn't existPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

the political establishment on both ends have abandonment them. and also, transwomen are smart and cute and so are marxists. check mate liberals

>>3571
Just be a nice and kind person. She might have autism and need to be taught social cues. Be patient

trans girl here. my only tip is that if she is feeling dysphoric, try and remind her that you see her as a woman and that she shouldnt let the feeling take over how she feels about herself, as hard as it is

its 11 am so excuse me if im just saying nonsense

>>4091
>>4092
He's mid, he's likely cut though which is a turnoff for me so i probably wouldn't suck him tbh

>>4092
He is cute, but his lazy eye and chin? something around his mounth makes him lose some points and look dumb, so he is slightly below average, but not too bad. Also, he is really smart (got a 4), probably on STEM, doesn't go outside much and has a good computer which means he would make a good boyfriend.

>>4092
I think I would, but only if got to play with him after.

>but I don't see foids gooning to him like Luigi.
I only found this, the others were saying he is ugly.

What do you think of shaved Lenin?
