/lgbt/ - LGBT

My ultimate life goal is to correct my beard and have a bulky muscular toned body I wanna be as manly as possible how can I achieve that
I look like this atm, total mess :(

Any other FTMS struggling/struggled with acne? I started accutane a while ago and it’s been working alright, still got some acne scars tho. Skincare rarely has good results on me, needing suggestions

Is it cringe to take names from anime? I want to go by the last name Rozen because my current one isn't gender-neutral, and taking a female surname is illegal (for some reason, it doesn't apply to first names, only last names and patronymics).

Is the gay people in the military-industrial complex stuff a meme or real? I can't find actual statistics on the LGBT employment demographics of military contractors like Lockheed-Martin or Raytheon.

A lot of the information available suggests marginalized people wouldn't be widespread in the industry.

There is some funny stuff about LGBT in the US military itself but not really about defense contractors.

What do trans rights mean if a trans woman can't get a job or a place to rent? It seems to me that literally no movement cares about such fundamentals. Every trans woman has the right to an honest job, housing and education. Queer liberalism has jackshit to do with getting trans women that.

FUCK my bussy is SO EMPTY AND ITCHY
damn STUPID FUCKING FOIDS taking boys
IM GONNA FUCKING RAPE A FOID BY FORCING HER TO EAT MY ASS AND STICK FINGERS UP MY BOOTY HOLE


Oh yeah and happy pride month :3

Hello everyone, I'm 31, male, I have loved trap aesthetics for many years, crossdressing, femboys, etc. I like transgirls a lot too. I guess you could call me a chaser if you really wanted to though I never really saw why it makes me a bad person.

Anyways, I like to keep my hair longish, I have done since I was a kid, I don't take care of it or make it look nice though. When I was a kid people used to think I was a girl. I got picked on in school a lot in general. Anyways, I realised a few years ago I was starting to have hair loss and I honestly felt kinda suicidal over it, I started taking medication that seems to have stopped it and I wanna get a hair transplant someday to go back to full coverage.

It's not like I hate being male. I don't hate my own body (at least not for being male) though I don't wanna be masculine. I feel gross when I have stubble but I'm too lazy to shave every day. I would like to get laser removal some day. I guess I will try to be a somewhat effeminate male, but I'm lazy so I don't make any effort to look nice. But I always thought that to be a transgirl would be cuter. They're just so pretty. I want to be pretty too. If I could just press a button and become an 8/10 mostly passing tgirl I'm pretty sure I would do it. But I don't want to go through the pain and suffering of actually transitioning especially when I don't even know if I really am trans or not. Maybe I should just crossdress? I like having a cock too, I wouldn't want to get rid of it, does that make me less trans? Am I just AGP? And if so, does that mean I shouldn't transition? Would it be shameful to be a girl just because it made my cock hard?

How could I make a fuss and make everyone call me a girl just because it's my fetish? Even if nobody else knew wouldn't it be so embarrassing? Aren't I too old for such nonsense anyway? I would rather be a mediocre male than an ugly tgirl that gets hate crimed.

What do you guys think? I've been feeling this way for a fair few years, like at least 4-5 probably, maybe more. Should I transition or is it too late for me? Or am I not even trans in the first place?

Time to choose, leftybutts. Theoretical ideal male partner body. I want a harem of 1s and a single 8. Also if you want one of these body types go ahead

>"serious" josei manga
<*after 20 chapters of bullshit* zomg he has a boner through his skirt!
i should know never to read any serious "transgender" manga recommendations every time no matter how it's sold it's just trap fetish shit where they seduce married men and have sex with women with le epic penis. nothing will ever be bokura no hentai why even try

i might as well have been reading doujinshi at least it would be drawn better and would acknowledge what theyre fetishising is a trans woman on hormones instead of talking around it

I put "allies" in quotation marks because "ally" can range from someone who actually empathizes with us, to those whose sympathy rests on being in one political camp instead of the other and who, in fact, makes the situation worse, in ways that should be obvious to them (IE Agent Kochinski, QueerKidsStuff, the blyat that made the genderbreadman/GenderUnicorn that was everywhere when I was in middle school)

As much as it is more or less trve, stop saying "Trans women have female brains w/ male bodies" or anything of the sort.

It is far more accurate to specify that we have qualitatively female brains whereas our brains are more androgynous or like neither sex on a quantitative level; the former is less dependent on receiving HRT as well.
To do otherwise is extremely misleading, and will turn people off from the movement.

>Studies showing that trans women show the same patterns as cis women, at least compared to trans men/cis men respectively (IE Trans women score higher on ECS compared to trans men, with overall difference compared to cis counterparts better explained by neurodivergence or environment)
