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.

It's only natural that feminine men will gravitate towards the only media that doesn't treat them like an unlovable freak.

>>1190
There's an explanatory gap in your theory and it's that this
>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
is just a parasocial substitute for the presence of a real woman in an intimate context. Straight men already get to open themselves to *receive* expresions of femininity in relationships. In this context there isn't really a distinction between these experiences other than anime being exaggerated and, obviously, not real.
The problem is that there's no reason why this should suddenly lead to you wanting to embody femininity yourself just as it hasn't for most relationships through the history of humanity. For your theory to hold water you need to explain what's special about anime vs. exposure to real femininity.

What the fuck was up with communist parties back then associating being gay with the petit-bourgeoisie? What exactly about fucking a dude is petit-bourgeois?

Guys, is le gender acceleration le real?

probably because homosexuality was tolerated in some upper class circles like boarding schools meanwhile poorer fags just got bullied into remaining in the closet

me and your dad for example

well is not called GAY fully automated luxury space communism for nothing

Def this. I don't remember how it worked in the actual legality of it, but I had a friend who was also raised by lesbian parents. And those two lesbian parents had to do this insane bullshit legal loophole where they had to legally adopt each other and then adopt a kid. It was weird. One of the moms is a lawyer and is still unbelievably pissed even thinking about it because it was so difficult to do.

>be raised in a traditional household in thirdie nation
>be casually homophobic most of your life
>however at same time lgbt folks were the nicest when you immigrated
>no trans or gayman ever called me a bean eater

i'm feeling conflicted, one one hand i don't personally like your sexuality, but on the other, you deserve better than to be trampled by the same people who trample brown foreigners, i don't know if i'm a hypocrite for thinking gay people deserve more breathing space away from concervatards, even if i still feel weird about transgenders

I'm 27 years old and all my more femenine youthful features are gone. I really regret having waited so long to start with this shit.
How are you people feeling?

How did you feel before? How aging felt in previous years ?Did transition help? I am afraid I will be in similar position in couple of years

>>813
Hasn't done shit because I'm extremely early into this journey so it's only natural.
And aging wasn't something that I felt, I only noticed changes in my body out of nowhere. For example, after years of having a beautifully thin neck, I developed an adam apple. I noticed it one day, it felt like it had grown overnight like mushrooms after a rainy day. This was actually the day I realized this would continue to happen with other physical features and that I needed to act fast.

I was where you both were about a decade ago. gonna be a longer more difficult road, and you probably need to figure out how to pay for FFS and whatever else might help (BA, BBL, etc), but there's light at the end of the tunnel I promise. get hustling or find a state where it's covered or marry into good health benefits (that's what I did), whatever you gotta do

>>815
yeah it was this kinda shit that cracked me in the first place. mostly body hair and I still haven't finished zapping it all. that second wave of masculinization as you approach 30 is fucked up shit

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 :(

>beard shadow
see vidrel, especially 3:08
>fucked up skin
if you dont already, keep the skin wet and warm for 30 to 60 seconds beforehand, and use shaving gel or cream beforehand and aftershave and moisturizer afterhand
for permanent removal, especially with light colored hair, electrolysis is the only option
unfortunately, its expensive, even more so than laser

>>1550
>afterhand
lol
i meant afterwards

>>1530
I'm not a fan so far

>>1334
i've started just ripping out my facial hair with my hands, just need something sticky on your fingers to grips it better, and you have to let it grow long enough to grab on to

>>1609
my sister in marx just get an epilator or a sharp pair of tweezers. the tweezers from my swiss army knive can grip any visible hair, though getting the right angle is hard below the chin and multiple days of tweezing can leave my skin in a bad place

goddamn they made the femboys woke and dei, we mst reclaim the white femman's plushie

jokes aside white racialist femboys are real and i don't get how the irony doesn't hit them, this is what happens when you mix gay griffith aesthetics with racism

dat reply

a trans woman can't wait to get home and take her bra off. a femboy can't wait to get home and put his bra on

replace "white" with "middle class" and you immediately explain the behavior in op's pic lol

he's polish of course he's racy, even gays in poland can be racy

the real question is why aren't there enough colored femboys in the african american society?

there's definitely a tone where compliments feel like "wow big girl go potty all by herself" but it's very easy to get paranoid and read any compliment like that tbh

>>1502
the funny thing about that picture is that most people love that type of pseudory. I don't know if it is dumb but I do find it boring

ITT talk about how you realized or started asking questions about your LGBT+ identity.

Was it positive, negative, neutral?
Did you struggle with it or go on a journey of discovery?
Did you or do you have to hide it? If so, how?
How do you realistically hope to see public attitudes changing in your lifetime?

>Was it positive, negative, neutral?
Negative, its been an overwhelming detriment to my life

>Did you or do you have to hide it? If so, how?

Dating a woman I don't love.

>How do you realistically hope to see public attitudes changing in your lifetime?

Less outwardly violent maybe. But I don't see coming out as possible within my lifetime.

A memoir by Caleb T. Maupin

Chapter 4

The Maupin men were born preachers. Not the TV begging kind, and not the megachurchy kind either. No, they were old school, fire and brimstone, repent or burn, King James Bible types. For six generations, each firstborn Maupin took the pulpit by sixteen, married a pious girl by twenty, and spent the rest of his life wrestling with God, the IRS, and the Federal government.
At twelve years old. I knew I would break the chain. Not because I doubted the existence of God. But because I doubted the lies they wrapped Him in.
While the other boys in Dayton traded baseball cards and boasted about kisses behind the bleachers, I sat in the library, buried in Marx and staring at the crucifix. I was drawn not to the expression of agony on Christ’s face, but to the curve of his ribs, and the tension in his thighs.

“You’re soft,” grunted my father one day, catching me sketching instead of shooting hoops.
“You’ll turn into a faggot. A man’s gotta lead. To want.”
And I did want. Just not what I was supposed to want.
The football team locker room was a torture chamber. Youth group retreats in the woods were a minefield of forced prayers, arms slung over, and forbidden warmth. The altar call was the worst. Kneeling at the rail, in the full knowledge that if they knew what I did, they’d cast me out like a rotten sheaf of wheat.

When I was fourteen, Pastor Rick pulled me to one side. The bugs buzzed around the fluorescent lights, as he thumbed his Bible open to Leviticus 18:22.
“You’re different Caleb,” he said.
