Okay fair enough.

>>8887
What do you look like op 👀

>>8867
idk man. obviously you can do whatever you want with your body but not having facial hair is one of the easiest/most effective ways to appear feminine. sure there's gay men with stubble, even twinks, but that's not the same as being a transwoman and even among gay men, if you're a fem sub you're less likely to have facial hair (other than maybe a gay little pedostache which seems to be in vogue at the moment)

>>8870
I mean there's a lot here still. Wanna talk about how the OP outlines how a 31 year old wants to be a "girl", not a "woman"? How every time women gets brought up on this site it's within an explicitly pornographic context, as a sex object to be consumed or made into?

I'm a male who feels no real care about gender. I feel as comfortable in a nice suit jacket as I do in black lace lingerie. I just default to masculine aesthetics out of habit. So take what I say with this context, but…

You don't have to be masculine, and you don't have to negate it with femininity either. There is plenty of range between the two. It's pretty normal where I live for men to clean-shave every day, or wear long hair styles, so unless you feel some strong need to be validated as non-man (and that's fine too) you can just do your own thing without it being a fuss.

One of the comrades in my socialist org is a slim national-level boxer, looks like a standard young man, and out of nowhere they'll just wear a skirt once a month. It can be no big deal unless you hang around weirdos who cry about fashion conventions. no its not a kilt lol

>Wanna talk about how the OP outlines how a 31 year old wants to be a "girl", not a "woman"?

Because girls are cuter. If anything I'm sexualising them instead of women.

>>8898
Pedos welcome here?

I'm a gay man. Yes, abs are "hot"
They're also a major red flag. This guy is going to count every calorie and be a gym rat. No thanks.

>>8740
Bill Cipher.
I know i like women but if i was a hetfoid, i'd pick 3-5

Is there a female version of OP image?

either could work for me depending on the context

>>8767
no babe we cant go there the menu doesnt tell calories

Well Bokura no Hentai was written by a woman, and well before the whole "trap" fixation began.
Also good pick. Was my introduction to the wild and wacky world of Japanese trans queer culture.

>>8721
I also preferred Bokura no Hentai, but Hourou Musuko was pretty good for the most part, we used to have weekly storytime threads for it on /a/ way back when it was still going.
Hopefully I'm not being too spoiler-y but it starts out strong then starts going downhill about 3/4 of the way through, where one of the protagonists' plotlines is more or less concluded in a way that feels kind of sudden and not terribly satisfying given the story leading up to it, while the other protagonist kind of gets sidelined to focus more on the supporting cast and wrap up their plotlines, and the parts that DO focus on that protagonist end in a way that's vaguely positive but not really conclusive enough to feel satisfying. I'd still recommend it if you're looking for a manga about trans characters, but I feel like it lacked something as emotionally impactful as Marika's coming-out scene in BnH.
Oh, and it also got an anime but it starts off in the middle of the story and had kind of odd pacing imo so I'd recommend going with the manga if you do decide to check it out

>>8721
Ahem, I'm just reading the third or whatever chapter of boku no hentai now, what is this exactly? You lied

Don't worry I'm a pervert though so I don't mind

>>8586
so stop saying communism is just spicy liberalism idiot

>>8622
that is not what those words mean idiot

>>8630
What does the socks mean

I don’t need to know the inner mechanisms of your mind to advocate for your bodily autonomy, how you mod yourself is for you and your doctor. Just tell me your pronouns and I’ll respect it, simple as.

I once prayed to be a girl to god as a child. decades later, in what felt like a blink, I became more that a girl. Bitch I became a full on woman!

>>3727
Idk maybe just act like your ideal girlfriend instead of trying to grasp 'woman essence'.

idk man if i looked and was female id probably be a girl but im not so im male forever
plus like it's a life of celibacy pretty much since sexuality is about sex so you're only really your biological sex in the bedroom, still worth it though just take your meds and socialize with women in a way where they dont get the opportunity to treat you as a gay pet or anything, basically just lurk a lot and then you can talk later maybe
also start voicetraining because you can talk to people online and get free female socialization

just be yourself dont try to change. if you wanna dress in a more effeminate way do it who carss, but if you start trying to "act like a woman" youre just going from one extreme to the other, there is no way to "act" as a gender

kill yourself and hope reincarnation is real you lame fuck

>>8789
If you don't want to just Google it and open the "images" tab, then I can't help you.

>>8788
Yeah, so the degenerates for whom being trans means changing your pronouns to (oy/they) on Twitter haven't harmed transsexuals in any way and haven't turned transsexuality into a degenerate idpol subculture of porn-addicted emo-goths in the eyes of normies?

>>8772
>>8776
IMO the real contradiction here is the separation of the workers from the means of production which makes capitalism fundamentally incompatible with cyborgs and transhumanism.

>>8793
this is the common mistake of people in a niche community imagining that normies can distinguish their particular weirdoes from one another. "if it wasn't for those DEGENERATE furries, normies would love us!" - yeah, good luck with that. **furries have only gotten more "degenerate" and yet, their social position has actually upticked quite a lot since the 2010s.*

"muh neopronouns trenders" aren't even the right niche, either. if you look at the insane people who make up TERFism, they've picked up on the existence of autogynephiles and use that term as a slur, they have almost nothing to say about theyfabs. and they're obsessive transhumanist watchers!

p.s. "normies" don't really exist anymore. the mindset that there's a big set of "normal people" out there making these judgements is the same fallacy that centrists make when they decide to eat shit and lose to the right. society is polarized between several groups of complete freaks. anti-trans views correlate with basically every other kind of reactionary view (which are themselves correlated with: being old, being poorly educated, and being male - except in britain.), which is not what you would find if there was a big crowd of reasonable, moderate people who were fine with transsexualism but draw the line at pronouns with an "x" in them.

>>8793
What are you even bitching about you freak

That's so much money wtf! FFS is worth it and I would get it immediately if I had that money, but if you feel you need it as a cushion then you should hold on to it. I think FFS is cheaper than that in Thailand anyway.

FFS is great, and I highly recommend it, but it isn't going to fix so many problems that you'll suddenly go from seeing yourself as male to being able to make lots of simpbux. It really just helps give an extra push to an existing transition, removing a couple small male signifiers that won't even be consciously obvious to most people. This also means it won't help your mental health hugely if you're down on yourself, because you can easily just trick yourself to not see the changes and then feel like you wasted your money. And that's not even taking into account that you can't realistically recover from FFS alone and will need a patient helper with you while you suffer for the first few days.

I'm very happy that I had FFS, but it's a hell of a thing. You've gotta be sure.

The best thing you can do for trans people is blow up Tufton Street.

We would have to start destigmatizing young adults sexuality

>>8763
We already do that when the sex is between young adults, I remember getting sex ed and taught how to have responsible sex in middle school

>>8750
You say this as though trying to subordinate desire to political principle has ever worked. Let me guess, you’re younger than 26?

>It isnt rare to rare to see edgy intelligent boys transition and become daft gynoworshipping moralfag(s) at a fast pace.
As an edgy and intelligent young man who plans to transition eventually, this terrifies me. What can I do to avoid this?

1. Neoliberals were more right than wrong and their biggest problem is that they're subject to many of the truths they themselves emphasized.
   

To summarize a very long story: free trade and "just let people do things" are excellent first principles in a world where lots of nasty tradeoffs have to be made, markets are efficient on the whole, but in a way that gets more annoying the more intelligent you are, hence why smart people are usually anti-market. deregulation is good, much better than tax cuts, but people who're already rich in the current overregulated world can lobby for tax cuts and against deregulation, so "actually existing neoliberalism" is mostly an ideology about cutting taxes rather than deregulation or even (real) privatization.
(e.g. most Thatcher privatizations did not put firms into the market to compete properly, but into specially created LARP markets created and controlled by the state.)

Neoliberalism can join social democracy and "AES" amongst the ranks of ideas betrayed most by their own chief practitioners. Now that "actually existing neoliberalism" is on its deathbed and we're heading into a much worse world (a warmongering, anti-trade, don't let people do things sort of world, a world with all the downsides of postwar social democracy and none of the upsides…), more people should recognize this fact.

Unfortunately that won't happen because:

1. Politics today is mostly downstream of personality.
   

Leftists will not accept these points because they have implications that run contrary to the generally leftist personality. Open-minded neurotics do not want to be told that the chaos machine cannot be beaten by a smart person applying their faculties creatively. Worse still, neoliberals themselves cannot take on this insight because for them, too, it's not about the reality of the situation but about their personality traits. They have a disagreeable streak, a love of saying "selfishness is good, actually" to shock the kind-hearted. That's why they love Thatcher, someone who should be hated by neoliberals with a thousand times the fury that she's hated by communism: because she was a very disagreeable person who spoke free market platitudes even as she ducked every opportunity she could find to actually set the market loose.

>i see it as a lesser-evil to twink death
rather than peter panning so hard you're willing to take cross-sex hormones you should probably just realize all this is a normal part of growing up

>>8610
>because i see it as a lesser-evil to twink death
"Twink death" as its talked about online is basically a myth. Sure, as you get older you'll get some wrinkles, your metabolism will slow, you might gain weight, etc. These changes will occur gradually and at some point you'll probably no longer fit the description of a "twink" (although this can happen a lot later than you think, I've known cute twinky guys in their late 30s). But it's not like you'll turn 25 and get zapped with a ray that instantly turns you into Homer Simpson. It's just aging and its inevitable. Estrogen won't stop it apart from maybe improving your skin a bit and combating hair loss, but that can be achieved with a good skincare routine and anti-alopecia drugs. Plus around 50% of men don't exhibit male pattern baldness anyway, and those that do typically don't start experiencing it until middle age. The point is you're freaking out over something that's A) not nearly as bad as you're imagining, especially if you take good care of yourself wrt diet, exercise, hygiene, and skincare, and B) is inevitable and can at best be slowed down a bit. Stop worrying about it, just enjoy your youth, live in the moment. Otherwise you'll be miserable before you start to get old, and be even more miserable after. It definitely isn't worth fucking with your hormones and potentially permanently altering your body over.

unless of course theyre in denial
