i'm planning on starting hrt next year, but i don't know how to figure out whether or not i'm making a big mistake. i have trans thoughts or whatever and i am dysphoric, but most of my dysphoria is social and its more like a sense of grief and alienation than it is like a virulent hatred for my male body or whatever. im not attracted to men and i'm not super effeminate like in my personality. i genuinely have no idea why i want to transition or take hrt in like a tangible sense, but at the same time like i feel like i am not the gender i'm supposed to be and this life isn't mine like i feel a profound sense of grief when i think about what has been taken away from me if that makes any sense.

>not attracted to men
>not super effeminate
neither am I and I've been happily on HRT for like eight years. everyone has these "what if I'm really trans" thoughts early on but it's generally pretty self-evident that if you're thinking about it and feeling strong emotions over the possibility of not transitioning or not being the sex you want to be, then you should just transition and are making excuses for yourself because it's a big scary decision to make.

>>832
how did you end up overcoming those thoughts. i just wish there was some way i could know for sure because i am scared. i feel like it would be an easier decision to make if my situation was more straightforward, but my feelings are like complicated

I would only be trans if turning to a robot was an option
>>831
maybe try drag king/drag queen or contracting professional makeup artists and fashionistas. it will all be artistic illusions but if you make an excuse to do it, e.g. an event or party, it might be worth a shot if the end result is high quality

>>835
I overcame these thoughts by overcoming myself. being transfem is a pretty difficult and miserable state of affairs because of how the world treats us, but I would have still made the same decision to transition every time if I had to do it again, with everything great and painful about it, because the life I was living before transitioning was no life at all. it was a hollow imitation of various social roles and expectations that I completely hated, and since I only have one life to live, it should at least be my own and not an abstraction's.

Start writing a dream journal, if you run into a dream in which you are a girl and then wake up feeling sad… then just take ze pills…

>>831
holy shit lgbt board was a terrible idea, its just pure fucking essentialism in here already..

>>840
hopefully they don't dox themselves here. happens way too much on 4chan's /lgbt/

>>840
Essentialism is here because its everywere in our culture. Instead of just shutting down we need helpful alternative

>>840
you know you can just not click on /lgbt/, right? this may be the beginning of each board having its own userbase/community, which I think is a good thing

Flood detected; Post discarded.

>>844
>helpful alternative
go do it somewhere else
>>846
>you know you can just not click on /lgbt/
well i usually use the overboard, but i guess i'll have to get used to not using it.
>which I think is a good thing
i disagree

>essentialism this essentialism that
uygha gender is a material force and your handwaving doesn't mean shit unless you plan to enlighten us with your superior conception of gender

>>848
what is presented without evidence will be dismissed without evidence, gender is not a material force you gay retard

>>854
you can't just look at a significant subset of people dissatisfied enough with male homosociality and the cultural perception of males in general to transhumanist out and go
>uhmmm… all of them are mentally ill retards!
just because you're such a well adjusted good boy determined to spread your daddies seed doesn't mean everyone else is

>>855
>you can't just look at a significant subset of people dissatisfied enough with male homosociality and the cultural perception of males in general to transhumanist out and go
who are you talking to??? i did not do that, i did not say that
>just because you're such a well adjusted good boy determined to spread your daddies seed doesn't mean everyone else is
you have some serious complex

>>856
well, i was talking about patriarchy in the abstract. the very thing your dismissal of the material forces of gender and sex roles as "essentialist" is helping to justify.

>>857
im not your fucking strawman, provide evidence of the material reality of gender or btfo

Probably some type on non-binary, but if you think HRT will help then go for it.

>>858
gender is the social form the enforcement of sex roles creates. while its particular role is an outgrowth of biology and its appropriation in patriarchal reproduction, in the last instance it is a separate category. for example a passing trans woman may be able to live like a cis woman would, because her appearance and mannerisms match the moving target of female gender presentation. consequently the sexualized violence statistics show both groups to be on par, not because "muh estrogen" but because gender exists in a social context implicitly encouraging males to take advantage of women in order to enforce it. in this sense trans people kind of short-circuit sex-based oppression, yet then again they are usually heavily shamed for the mere act of transgressing gender norms.

the thing to note is that, like the commodity form, gender is a component of a self-reproducing system of social organization. in the case of gender however it affects people a lot more psychologically, see the freudian compulsions caused by the nuclear family or the things in transfems that are actually mental illness.

>>860
so gender is essentialism.

>>861
repeat after me: Societal relations are material forces!
is having even a basic understanding of marx asking to much of posters on this nominally marxist board?

>>864
i disagree with marx

>>831
>and its more like a sense of grief and alienation than it is like a virulent hatred for my male body or whatever
it doesnt need to be outright hatred
dysphoria means negative feeling in general
>im not attracted to men and i'm not super effeminate like in my personality
you can still be a trans woman with these qualities, lol

>>865
bruh

>>865
Into the trash it goes

>>871
look, if your not willing to suck off marxs rotting corpse dont call yourself a marxist, ok?

>>859
that's what im tryna discern

>>1066
hrt isn't going to kill you, if you don't like it stop taking it, other wise do.

there is no such thing as "actually trans" so do nothing less than exactly as you please.

>>1067
there should definitely exist regulations and standardized scientific by-the-book procedures to get a result without flaws, or at least the procedure itself won't create new flaws on the subject's body. possibly with state sponsored research and resources(which are lacking). though that would probably mean that everyone will look the same aesthetically and fashion-wise(maybe even thematically depending on the ideology of the state), abolishing ugliness, and also having the option to change genders as well.

>>1082
that sounds REALLY stupid

>>1083
I thought commies were into uniformity and absolute equality, like north korea is. though, variations in appearance that does not counter the perceived sameness of everyone(such as being perceived as equal economically/socially/etc and not having the possibility of looking at others as if they're inferiors or being looked at that way) shouldn't be of concern. if everyone is equal, or perceived as equal even with alternative appearances(that aren't out of place or against the hegemonic design language), then technically prejudice wouldn't exist.

>>1085
i think youre a moron, and your understanding of ""commies"" comes from american pop culture.

>>1087
so you're in favor of prejudice? that's basically a solution to end prejudice

>>1088
yes, i am extremely prejudiced

>>1089
geg, more like a semi-troll. unrelated but it's funny how people are in favor of diversity(the opposite of uniformity/order), they are cryptically in favor of bringing more inequality and more prejudice(which is the outcome of diversity/disorder), or are just retarded

instead of making everyone equal, they prefer everyone to be unequal and call it diversity

>>1993
>MAPs/YAPs
discord users fedish

>MAPs/YAPs, AAMs/AAYs, zoosexuality, necrophilia

so a twitter users fedish

>>1999
>but where is conservativism ?, there is already incest and pedophilia so why not bring the rest in ?.
anon bait is biased
add conservativism pussy
it would be funny
and post on topic

>>1082
>>1085
>>1092
this is actually how most people actually feel like. Everyone especially imageboard patrons always want to conform the world to one flavor/style of living to eradicate "degeneracy"

>>1085
This isn't what communism is about. In communism the subjective differences between individuals are acknowledged. You literally can't make everyone the same without abolishing the individual, which was never a goal of communists. People are born with different abilities, different bodies, and a different base that they grow from basically, and you can't just flat that out with current technology. There has never been a push for absolute equality. This idea of communism making everyone 'the same' is just propaganda.

This part of Marxism is heavily rooted in liberalism and I wonder if we can surpas it. I don't think it would be a bad world where true equality has been established and the individual abolished. In fact this would likely be a further economic stage post-communism. But this vague goal of total equality is not something communism is set to achieve.

Just take the goddamn hormones and ask questions later
