Franzia,

You’re worthy of friendship. You could have some great friends. Probably not gonna meet them at work. I can’t give much advice, I’m pre-HRT, pre-work and education, looking at a similar path that you have taken and hoping I can achieve the things you’ve achieved. Take it easy on yourself, look what all you’ve done and find people you can relate to and whose company is a gift to yourself.

Franzia,

Relatable to me a month or two ago 😺

Franzia,

I see this all the time on discord and the silly is why I come here, thanks. Happy to see those articles in my subscription feed in another community.

Edit: oh this is trans not 196. Same thing, right? Still a good rule.

Franzia,

My dad died in 2022.

I remembered that I wanted to “do gender stuff” and slowly the repression faded and I remembered trying to come out ten years ago as a high school student, and remembered trying to come out a few more times, and realized just how many people had told me I’m trans and meant to be a girl. I had a therapist help me in 2021 or so, but I still couldn’t get myself to come out until he died. He was a liberal, even, not a conservative. He would’ve loved me regardless of my trans identity.

What cracked my egg as a teen? I read a fee articles mostly on wikipedia. I thought for a long time I was “20% female”, found the concept of femboys when the concept was in its infancy.

I really just needed to read a book or article or guide on how to come out as trans when I was a teenager and was vulnerable to what others thought of changes I wanted to make to myself.

Set this community up to keep gatekeepers from using it.

Decided to set up this community as well as !truscum because I know that in the future transmedicalists might want to try setting up here. Transmedicalism is one of the most toxic forms of gatekeeping plaguing the trans community, they actively invalidate people based on “not being trans enough”, they constantly attack...

Franzia,

Your comment was so informative, thanks!

Franzia,

I’m interesting I just am out of the habit of acting on it. Theres a bit in a book I’m reading about imagining filming yourself all day. What would the video look like? (it’d be a video of you sitting at the computer). And that imagery is meant to be inspiration enough for me to work on my avoidance. TBH the entire CBT book for avoidance can be summed up by that “gamer posture” meme where the left is bad posture and the right is great posture but its a cat girl with a big butt. This meme is all I think about while I’m imagining the camera pointed at me, gaming all day. In other words, my day would be better if I had… Better posture 😹

Franzia,

Thank you! I find this conclusion compelling, and bow I can finally stop telling people “well, transmeds are right about one thing…” And instead use this article and these words. Biochemical dysphoria.

Franzia,

I would move to a walkable city right fucking now. Right now. I can get the basic healthy lifestyle I want anywhere in the world except here in the USA.

Franzia,

I had the opposite happen, my therapist wanted me to “just try estrogen for two weeks” to see if my foggy brain symptoms would resolve. Scared me and I decided to keep working on my depression symptoms without her help. But I did keep in mind the more helpful things she did to help me crack my egg.

Franzia,

Where can I buy a quality pleated skirt? I’d prefer something not 100% polyester. It seems like such a helpful passing item (two thirds rule) and yet not so easy to find. I found some denim skirts recently, and Ive gotta say that might be the ticket for me.

Franzia,

😖 one day I wanna be part of that club

Franzia,

Please follow the egg prime directive.

So many people tried to tell me I was trans and I was but it just led me to me repressing memories and avoiding the topic. It was extremely harmful to me that all of my friends did this.

What worked was someone sending me to a website and saying “read this, if you have any questions, I’m here for you and I have some answers and more websites.”

Franzia,

Thats not how trans actually works though. You can’t just be convinced youre trans if youre not. Well I suppose a male who wants feminine skin could be a femboy. But otherwise? Every currently masculine person who would like to be feminine… Is some sort of transfem.

Franzia,

As someone who this meme applies to perfectly - this meme doesnt explain why I had angry mannerisms or why I wouldn’t put on cute clothes (I didnt accept myself, had gender dysphoria etc.) So its not really hitting the mark as helpful / informative even when it hits that perfect target audience. Thank you for pointing out the many other issues with it that I’m not as aware of.

Franzia,

Thanks for the rules update. Great post, and I hope you’re getting what you need in your personal life again soon!
