/lgbt/ - LGBT

I have so much insecurity I always think and feel like I'm not manly enough in attitude and appearance and that will always give other gays the ick for being too zesty or effeminate. How can I deal with if?
I always crave to be extremely masculine

The fact I don't care about football or any sport also makes me feel feminine and zesty

Why do doctors prescribe too low dosages of hormones for trans women (and I'm pretty sure also trans men)? Like they are prescribing women and girls I know like a quarter of what my mum has for menopause in gel. Oral is just such a bad method though.


Are the doctors uneducated, stupid, or is it malicious? I don't get it at all. Do they want people to not transition?

At least in the NHS I would think it would make more logistical sense for them to just prescribe oestrogen injections for monotherapy since they already buy plenty of needles and it means they don't have to buy anti-androgens which would streamline the supply chain.

I am a Cis-het-moid and I have a non-binary sibling, 2 close friends who are trans-women, and I bet that at least 70% of my art-school class is queer. I just think that's really funny because I'm sure that there are tons of queer people who grew up in rural area in a red-state who had the opposite experience as me. Also for me it dose not matter in the slightest because I am in no way oppressed, the worse that can occur would be something like my trans friend telling me that she is on "E" and expecting someone like me to know that stands for estrogen off the bat.

I have come across the most insane and disturbing thing. It's a screen recording on I found on another imageboard, buried somewhere deep with no traction or replies, of a deepweb forum called "The Playground".

The contents are extremely disturbing. People are freely discussing child rape, trading children, and discussing child murder. And beyond that, it seems like there's a whole christian fundamentalist pedo agenda ("Creating a Future for Child Lovers"), where based on some biblical stuff, child rape is normalized, and which is actively fermenting outrage against LGBT in order to prevent sex education in schools - all so that raping kids becomes easier, like it was in the times before Sex Ed. And even more disturbingly, it seems these people are in powerful positions, extremely affluent and have a lot of access to power.

The insane thing is that these are the exact people who are spreading the pizzagate and QAnon conspiracies and hysteria, and several right paramilitaries seem to be involved, eg. Oath Keepers (one guy even posts that they were acquitted for January 6th) and Proud Boys, offering human trafficking services on this board.

There is a lot of mention of the MAGA figures, Bondi, Hesgeth and Tulsi Gabbard - in her case there's even a thread ostensibly containing some sort of videos of her. There's talk of Heritage Foundation and their president Jim DeMint. There's mentions of Silicon Valley figures such as Curtis Yarvin, Musk and Sheryl Sandberg (her supposed "personal collection"). There are several references to Orban and trips to Hungary are advertised. This is just scratching the service of everything that can be seen in the screen recording, which was anonymously uploaded to archive.org by a woman that found this page open on her father's computer.

The leak seems pretty recent, dated to March 2025. I did some searches, but I can't find anything else on it, so it must be extremely secretive. It seems that this has gone completely under the radar, so I'm bringing it here for your consideration. And frankly, I'm scared, because I do think it's real. This is too far out there to be fake, I don't think anyone has an imagination wild enough to come up with this.

Here are the links to the screen recordings and screenshots of the board. There's no graphic content in the videos but a lot of graphic discussions.

I have a psychological theory that schizophrenia is somewhat related to transgenderism (also I am not transphobic, this is just a theory).
Schizophrenia is caused by multiple chemical imbalances in the brain, and it has been found that hormones can influence severity and expression of symptoms.
BUT it has also been found that estrogen can be protective for schizophrenia, delaying its development.
This is why women usually develop schizophrenia later in life compared to men.
I have a theory that male to female transition could be a mechanism the brain uses, misinterpreting schizophrenia as gender dysphoria, unintentionally delaying its development or preventing it entirely.

For examples of this, Ted K in the 60s was actually going through transition. After he stopped taking estrogen and detransitioned, his schizophrenia started to develop rapidly.
In my personal experiences, as a schizophrenic myself, I have heard from other schizophrenics that they have experienced gender dysphoria too.

What do you guys think?

IDK I'm a lesbian trans woman but TBH I like the gay leather and rubber hypermasculine fascist skinhead aesthetic. IG I just want to feel powerful and feel deeply insecure about being seen as weak.

Im not Trans and I support trans people but at the same time Trumps threats of turning everyone into transgender are a bit concerning to me. I was wondering what people here think?

Being TERF is a fetish. How else one can explain that toilet obsession? There is literally no other consistent theory explaining their behavior. Every other attempt on explaining why they are so fixated on sex and genitals of trans people does not produce consistent explanation.

What do you think about misogyny and queerphobia in the imperial periphery? It seems inevitable due to the material conditions of the country/periphery but it still kind of sucks. Capitalists taking advantage of the situation doesn't help either. Shit also still kind of sucks in the imperial core also for queer people.

Genuine question and not trolling, does anyone here play Girls Frontline 2? I am liking it a lot and I get the sense it'd be popular here. Maybe start a platoon
