/lgbt/ - LGBT

There are no wrong trans people. The causes of gender dysphoria can vary, but if you have it, you're trans.

Idk I have a friend that's gay but keeps saying "but I'm not part of the lgbt!" as if that means anything. Some people are just brainrotted and there's not much you can do

>>4809
Whats wrong with that?

>>4807
There is nothing wrong with having a medicalized body. Everybody has medical needs and wants. Gender-affirming care is no different. The problem with transmedicalism is that it is a cowardly attempt to de-politicize medicine and transness. "Biological sex" is a political superstructure principally used to assign social divisions of labor in the family. Avoiding the problem by assimilating gender dysphoria into biological sex is simply misogyny.

Something pro-trans

>>4812
Straight Cisgender guy here, I never go on this board for obvious reasons but I saw this on the overboard so I thought it would be nice to say something pro-trans. “I think trans people are good.” Is that good?

I think it is actually cool trans people exist, I always admired that willingness to reshape yourself into form you desire, mind over matter you know? Despite having no contact with trans community IRL, I lurk trans online places because they tend to be filled with intelligent interesting people. Feels like they have a soul, which isnt as common as you might think.

>Is that good?
Yes, thank you.

Your welcome

Honestly you just gotta be patient and selective. My worst experiences on Grindr happened when I was just looking for a quick lay, but I've met some really cool guys on there that I fucked around with a bit and stayed friends with afterwards. You just gotta seek out people you'd want to interact with even in a non-sexual context.

i think today a guy flirted with me. first time it's ever happened but since i'm a gaycel i didn't try to flirt back or anything. not sure how i'd even attempt to do that

>>4804
Honestly I don't even know what a guy flirting with me looks like because straight guys are super fucking gay-acting nowadays. They will say and do the gayest shit and then turn around and say something hyper-homophobic.

>>4804
How many times do I have to tell you you are not a gaycel?
You sound like a "femcel"
Today I fucked 5 guys but they didn't made me orgasm and I am a bit psycho, #femcelMoment

>>4836
Calm down buddy this isn't 4chan.

OP here, I think you're missing the point I'm trying to make here, which is about the very real human need for authenticity.

I know this is an utterly taboo idea in our extremely superficial media-oriented capitalist society, but some people are just naturally supposed to be fat, it's part of who they are and changing their bodies and becoming thin to better fit in with mainstream society doesn't make them happy, it makes them miserable.

It's just a matter of self-image, no different than things like gender identity - you see yourself as a certain particular kind of person, that is your internally projected self-image. If you see yourself as a person who is supposed to be thin and you are fat, you will be experience feelings of dysphoria because your body does not match your self-image. Conversely if you naturally see yourself as a fat person but you are pressured to become thin by outside influence, you will experience feelings of dysphoria because your body does not match your self-image. You are who you are.

I feel like we live in this culture/era where authenticity doesn't seem to matter anymore, this "fake it til you make it" social media influencer/self-help ted talk sort of culture where people have no inner sense of self at all, they don't see themselves at all, they see themselves as blanks or wildcards and only think about how they are seen by others, they allow themselves to be defined entirely by outside influence and they live in fear of "cringe" i.e. exposure, having their genuine repressed self publicly laid bare for everyone to see. People see themselves as a broken incomplete work in progress and they put everything in their lives on hold until they are "fixed" and they can conform to social expectations.

So, of course, if someone like me were to come out and say something like "Yes I am fat but that's who I am and I'm perfectly okay with that and I'm not going to change to conform to society; society should change to conform to me." - people who are putting themselves through all this psychological torment by believing they are broken/incomplete and toiling away their lives in vain trying to fix themselves are going to be baffled and likely outraged to hear something like that, to face the possibility that all of their sacrifice and hard work and alienation and depression and pain and suffering, that all of it has been for nothing.

the modern obesity epidemic is a result of capitalism brother
authenticity is also not a real thing btw, as a living breathing human being you are in a constant state of change
you can choose to be happier and healthier for your own sake rather than needing to impress anyone else
though I would say we have the exact opposite problem in the modern world, too many people (especially powerful people) do not value the opinions of others and do not need to engage in any kind of self-criticism or reflection
under socialism that kind of unflinching individualism would fade away

>the modern obesity epidemic

Is this really an epidemic? People have always been fat. There's quite a lot of fatties in the world, billions of them in fact. There have always been fat people, always will be.

Usually disease epidemics eventually end at some point. When is this one going to end? When will I be cured of this disease? When will people who look like me finally be exterminated from the world?

>authenticity is also not a real thing btw

Yeah nothing is real this is all a simulation right?

>as a living breathing human being you are in a constant state of change

Yeah, a constant state of change that is largely outside of your control. Sure you can make small adjustments here and there in your life to improve your wellbeing like exercising, moderating your diet, seeing a doctor, deciding whether to transition if you are transgender, etc. but that doesn't mean we have the ability to completely redefine ourselves as we see fit and become avatars. Convincing yourself that you are completely different person is not change, it's just a personality disorder.

Even in the trans community, this kind of thinking is now generally discouraged by gender therapists as outmoded and psychologically damaging, the idea of "re-birthing" and repressing and erasing your pre-transition self and pretending like you never existed. Pretending you don't exist is not healthy, it's psychotic. Authenticity actually matters, regardless of the weird post-truth social media dystopia we now find ourselves living in.

1. Transsexualism only became possible relatively recently. How could people in previous centuries have alleviated their dysphoria without HRT? Social transition is also pointless if you look like a man.
2. The cause of gender dysphoria, as far as I know, is a hormonal imbalance and a longer version of the androgen receptor gene.
Testosterone levels in people decline over the years; look at photos of people from about 100 years ago: some women there would now be clocked as trans. Also, due to a decline in natural selection, mutations like a longer androgen receptor gene may be increasingly common.

>very feminine body
resulting from what? if it's mostly due to gynoid fat distribution it's fixable, however since you mentioned being short you'll likely have more trouble adhering to a caloric deficit. you'll also possibly need to gain muscle in some spots after fat loss and eat at a surplus

if you don't want to transition then don't
afab enbies are pretty common. if you don't have dysphoria about your body then don't worry about it and just do whatever alleviates the dyshporia.

that said, it's generally easier to pass if you are FtM than MtF, mostly due to how masculinization works and being irreversible through hormones alone.

>don't understand why people think transition is either the best thing in the world for people with gender dysphoria
Because from what I have heard it is the best way to prevent suicide, and most trans people are very suicidal/depressive and HRT improves their mental health even if they don't pass

>like i really feel whether transition is good for someone comes down to considering 1. will you pass and 2. will you be happy even if you don't pass. and if the answer to both of these is "no" then you probably shouldn't transition. idk!
No, HRT really reduces dysphoria, even without social changes. It’s not placebo

At least you don’t need to hurry. You can pass as FTM even if you start HRT in 30yrs

China seems somewhat decent when it comes to transgender rights, but societal attitudes still seem to be pretty transphobic. Atleast according to what ive read on prolewiki, that is.

I remember there was a lot of queer users on XiauHongShu well before the TikTok exodus. Comment sections seemed pretty normal, though now that XHS requires face ID I can't check anymore.

>>4629
Were they tiktok refugees or chinese people?

>>4631
Chinese people, yeah. Hence my specificatian that it was before the TikTok exodus.

i too wish i was a twink. or hunkish. i would honestly be anyone else that isn't myself

>>4542
But i just want to be a femboy and possibly also a girl, i dont want to just be relagated to just "non-binary"
>>4493
Is it even worth taking estrogen then if it wont even prevent my twink death? My life is basically over when i hit twink death, besides my body is laready incredibly masculine enough as is. I want to cry, why was i cursed like this

op again and I’ve done some thinking. The thing you’re missing is that non binary isn’t good enough. Being a femboy isn’t right or good enough.

I’ve been promised success in embodying an archetype if only I try, work out, improve my social skills. I can be anything, and that neurosis is buried so deep within me and I don’t know if it’ll ever come out. It’s compounded by contemporary theories of gender that suggest it’s all constructed and I can just choose. I actually agree with that completely, but it doesn’t soothe the ache of being unable to fundamentally, ontologically change my entirety to match an interiority that’s just. Fabricated. It doesn’t exist. It’s all ego. But I can’t square any of it.

I think I just need to meditate and find acceptance or soemthing but it hurts so much

does before hoes

>>4542
I think it sounds like he is fat

>>4595

not so much a desire but a reflex tbh
i was gonna say "desire to be strong" but it's more of a reflex, not so much a desire since what i really wanted was to be able to defend myself.

I have gender dysphoria - i go through HRT. It’s not about your character

>>4599

can't afford that shit here yet

>hard to reconsile their desire to be violent and desire to be feminine?
There is nothing inherently contradictory about femininity and violence.
>>4595
Cis women get spooked into "nonviolence" too despite not being "socialized as men"

You can project strength without acting wantonly violent. Remaining entirely calm and confident while being challenged, like in that yes chad meme, is one of the most female-coded expressions of powers there is. If you are actually prepared to engage in violence or retaliate is ultimately only tangential to both.
