/lgbt/ - LGBT

repression general - "its over" edition

finally i can stop using 4chan now that this board exists

i need to learn to shake my head to the beat in a way that makes other women (lesbian) think "ooh thats one groovey and fun loving ans interesting chica"

We need a pedo fascist society with rightless loli and shota slaves and military femboys as task force for taking leftists down
Literally 1969

i’ve been lurking /a/ and /lgbt/ for years and something kept popping up that no one wants to really admit. tons of guys who are deep into anime, especially the cute girl slice-of-life stuff, end up transitioning or calling themselves trans. not like one or two. i’m talking a full-on trend. they start posting with anime girl pfps, joke about being “eggs,” start asking about HRT, and boom. next thing you know they’re full-time she/her on estrogen. people just act like this is a normal pipeline and don’t stop to ask why it keeps happening

being a guy in our world is kind of trash for a lot of us. you’re expected to be emotionally dead, aggressive, dominant. no crying, no softness, no comfort unless it’s a joke or porn. masculinity is cold. and anime is the total opposite. it gives you girls who are warm, emotionally open, affectionate, kind. it hits you somewhere deep. i wrote it like this, “the femininity of anime girls is expressive, soft, emotionally intelligent and affectively warm. it is everything that masculinity is not” and that contrast feels like a lifeline if you’ve grown up feeling numb and isolated

characters like Rui from Gatchaman Crowds hit different. he’s a guy but dresses femme, looks better than any girl you know, and still commands respect in the story. not treated like a freak, just exists. i said, “Rui is gender-non-conforming and not punished for it” and that’s huge. when you’re used to being told to man up or shut up, seeing someone like Rui makes you think maybe there’s a way out. and slowly, you start to feel more like him than the angry gym bros you’re supposed to relate to. you start to post anime girls not just because they’re cute but because they feel like you

this is where it gets uncomfortable for people. autogynephilia. the idea that some dudes start getting turned on or emotionally hyped by imagining themselves as girls. and yeah, it’s real. i said, “I think anime girls function as a kind of metaphor for the concept of femininity itself, and the idea of femininity becomes eroticized through repetition” and that’s the key. the more you stare at these idealized girls, the more you start to want to be that. not just to look like them but to feel the way they feel. over time, your brain starts rewiring. “When you are constantly looking at anime girls and thinking about them and using them as your identity, you are literally conditioning yourself.” it’s not just fetish, it’s identity forming through exPost too long.

sometimes i romanticise the idea of detransitioning. i imagine being a really cool guy who now doesn't give a crap about stupid gender stuff, is chill and understands a woman's heart. it sounds relaxing. but when i was on T as a teen, it was pretty hellish, and estrogen makes me feel a lot better. I also don't want the permanent effects of testosterone. Maybe I'm just AAP or whatever? what do you think?

What are you listening atm LGBT?

Has anyone else noticed when some people call for the abolition of gender (which is a position I sympathise with even though it is ultra-leftist to expect society to do away with it right now) just seem to be asking for all femininity to be erased? Like when people, and I'm assuming its mostly men trans or cis, say that we need to stop having gender, they also say long hair and pretty clothes need to be banned, and everyone should just be strong and masculine. It feels not many people are expecting gender abolition to cause everyone to become feminine. Idk its interesting hearing about this. I'm reminded of the anime Simoune where the baddies are all transmasc industrialists (I did support them when I watched it because they were historically progressive industrialists). That's basically a vision of gender abolition actually being women abolition. When you talk to lots of people you will hear this. Just ask King Lear what he thinks.

What if I am fine with male body, but still wish I was a woman because I resent having male gender role forced upon me? Transitioning not out of desire for womanhood, but to escape the burden of maleness?

so i grow coarse red facial hair and i used to use a cartridge razor but i switched a long while ago to a safety and i can get a closer shave, but it still irritates my skin and its annoying to shave all the time and still have a shadow+fucked up skin. i use veet for my body and it works better than shaving but i still get a lot of ingrowns, however i just have like permanent red bumps on my legs that wont go away so idk maybe i have to see a derma or something. i cant afford laser and im afraid to try waxing or anything like that because of my sensitive skin :(

ive been confused with my gender, i want to be a boy but at the same time a girl. i feel likd i cant be bigender because people have told me thats just a “stepping-stone” gender. ive been repressing the male part of me since forever. its like i want to dress like a girl but also a boy, but i want to be a boy. its really confusing. ive been trying to repress this part of me and just be a normal girl but its not working. does anyone know whats going on?
