transdome

[final heart]

I've literally never heard anyone but actual trans people say anything about blahaj being a trans thing but ok

[candid ore]

the weirdest thing is there's a movie i like that is almost only watched by trans people so i think it's just a trans thing /j

[unborn atlas]

trans people gotta build their own culture I think

a lot of it is just kids

[fallow moon]

WHAT!!!! BLAHAJ IS ONLY £19

[unborn atlas]

rubbing their gay little paws over stuff they like

[fallow moon]

transfem culture is so silly

its my favourite

[candid ore]

yes i am in fact a toddler /j

[bronze ocean]

there is no one transfem culture even

[unborn atlas]

me and my bf were like

"ah yes, transfemme music"

[fallow moon]

LMAOO THERES 1 BLAHAJ IN THE UK

[unborn atlas]

(maximalistic internet microgenre noise-adjacent electronic music)

[fallow moon]

ALL THE OTHER STORES ARE OUT OF STOCK

[candid ore]

when people say that cavetown is transmasc music i want to cry
yes the dude behind cavetown is transmasc but please dont only associate us with him

[unborn atlas]

or like

[bronze ocean]

i think a lot of that redditor "transmasc/fem stuff" is just online trends tbh

[unborn atlas]

a person being trans automatically makes them an icon

my guy, Elagabalus might not be the best trans role model

[unborn atlas]

it's people yearning to find connection, to be identified and identify

[candid ore]

i like against me

[unborn atlas]

in the eyes of capital we are all just demographics

[candid ore]

i will never forget how my cis aunt was like "hey i think you'd like this band" and i did and then when i looked more into it all of the members r trans women iirc

[bronze ocean]

well, yeah

[unborn atlas]

I do think people get a bit trigger happy with it

hence my Fantomas joke before

but like

iunno

I don't really wanna quantify or taxonomize my transness into an aesthetic or a brand (even if social media is slowly pushing us to do that)

[candid ore]

i hate how i cannot find any transmasc musicians so all the queer music i listen to is trans women or cis gays

[fallow moon]

i want blahaj

[unborn atlas]

trans men are underrepresented I think

[candid ore]

if anyone has any transmasc musician recs pls give them to me i need more of my people

[fallow moon]

trans women got the funk

[candid ore]

so real

[unborn atlas]

I mean pppbbbb............Dorian Electra?

they're a bit of a dink tho

[candid ore]

nero's day at disneyland and against me r just funky transwomen i love a lot

[unborn atlas]

also genderfluid but Flamboyant is very much a "dude stuff" album

My Agenda is a bit of both

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDDukLyXY-M

[candid ore]

strangely my favourite Trans Things™️ song is extremely overplayed and made by a very fluid cisman

[unborn atlas]

Machine Girl gives me gendery feelings but like

I don't rly wanna speculate or

like

stamp them as "omg trans icons" like :P bleh no

nobody deserves that

[unborn atlas]

who's that tho

[candid ore]

i think it's just funny to say stuff like "trans icon this cisgender man" when a cis content creator has a mostly trans fanbase

[candid ore]

the song is i/me/myself by will wood

[unborn atlas]

🫵 👁️ 👁️ SELF SPOTTED

IT'S ABOUT IDENTITY IT'S ABOUT IT'S RGRHAGRHGARH

(I'm being facetious)

[fallow moon]

the ai filter thingy gendered me correctly so cool

[unborn atlas]

I been listening to Yves Tumor a lot

[candid ore]

lucky i can find absolutely no way to make it see me as a man

[unborn atlas]

I've been sort of jokingly describing random people as having "transmasculine swag" but it's usually half serious and half cringe inducing "ugh shut the fuck up Zenoby" faire

[unborn atlas]

all it took was GIVING IT YOUR FACE

[fallow moon]

were you smiling in the pic

[fallow moon]

AAAAAARGGHH!!!!!

[unborn atlas]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVS7BXldA3U

[candid ore]

i absolutely was not does that help

[fallow moon]

sometimes facial expressions change it

[unborn atlas]

all this technology used to homogenize the scope of humanity into smooth, flat, anime-ass gacha bait

we regret to inform you the AI is racist

[fallow moon]

this is widely known

[sturdy trail]

real transfems make so much better music than transmascs all we have is cavetown i hate cavetown

cavetown bug dirt frog boys and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race

[unborn atlas]

oh speaking of "thing is trans culture"

I heard somebody describe the Kim Kitsuragi jacket as the Drive jacket for trans women

[final heart]

i need transmascs that make music like machine girl or smth

[unborn atlas]

Dorian Electra half of the time?

but be real

[civic ibex]

im transmasc and love making bad music about catholic guilt and trauma on digital hardcore beats with my band HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION

[unborn atlas]

nobody can make music like machine girl but machine girl

[candid ore]

he's also er. antisemitic. he made a lot of "i hate jews" tweets in 2016 and never apologised or deleted them iirc

[final heart]

fr

i just meant something similar

[unborn atlas]

RIP IN SHIT CAVE BOY

[final heart]

i thought he apologized?

wack

[civic ibex]

:333

[unborn atlas]

you're doing God's work

transfemme music this, transmasc music that

how about nonbinary music

actually I think nonbinary musicians have more rep than transmasc ones now that I thinky bout it

[civic ibex]

thats real

what if im a nonbinary transmasc

(i am)

[sturdy trail]

nonbinary music is just queer music in general tbh

[fallow moon]

farts with snares over the top

[sturdy trail]

ziggy stardust is basically nonbinary

[unborn atlas]

nonbinary transfemme 🤝 nonbinary transmasc

[bronze ocean]

THIS

[final heart]

shout out fellow nonbinary people

[fallow moon]

nonbinary fatt

fart*

[civic ibex]

we be nonning our binaris

[unborn atlas]

we have more in common than what separates us

we must show

solidarity

aw dang all the pride flags are gone

[bronze ocean]

none ❌ no 🙅 binaries‼️ 🚫♊🚫

[final heart]

wym they're gone

[unborn atlas]

I mean we got

but I added a bunch of others back when I was a mod but

[bronze ocean]

trans flag is a default emoji isnt it

🏳️‍⚧️

[civic ibex]

[unborn atlas]

I guess they got removed for being off brand

[unborn atlas]

yeah I don't get it tbh

[final heart]

that's kinda redundant bc it's a default now

[unborn atlas]

but even still we had a cool nonbiney flag and

all different sortsa flags

way back when

[civic ibex]

[final heart]

why did they get removed

[unborn atlas]

iunno man I'm not a mod anymore

ask somebody in charge

[final heart]

that's sad :(

[unborn atlas]

🚬

[civic ibex]

hello im mod

idk why they got removed

ill ask

[unborn atlas]

probably too granular

too off brand

cluttering

[civic ibex]

idc im gonna fight for them to come back

[unborn atlas]

I'm done fighting

I mostly wanna atone

[final heart]

fair enough

[unborn atlas]

not for the flags tho I'm chuffed about those

[civic ibex]

just for the chaos :33

i miss the chaos

[unborn atlas]

I miss being a mod!!!!

I feel so <clench fist> powerless

chaos will come tho

chaos is eternal

[snow loom]

honestly one of my favourite lyrics that hits hard as a trans person is literally from a machine girl song lol

growing up and spending most of my time on the internet, feeling like the place i can escape from the mess of the physical world and dealing with annoying cishet people irl lol

i feel like mg is one of my big inspirations to do music lolll

[unborn atlas]

"I hear it call my name! my real name!!"

[snow loom]

looks at my identity as a non human literal machine

uhhh

yeah that too

imagine being a person

i have a very compelling urge to learn how to make angry trans music inside fl studio

honestly the best part of being trans? being able to come out of my shell of not knowing where tf to go and actually finding things im passionate about

and well, that passionate thing is going AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA loud synths and drums

[unborn atlas]

creation is a lot

[snow loom]

it is

been frustrating but

getting there

[cold whale]

"i wish i could be a real boy"

[unborn atlas]

I don't want to make a product

I don't wanna be a product

even just consuming is hard

[spice sphinx]

Oh yeah I found machine girl like right at the cusp of coming out as trans and I remember this lyric reverberating in my head constantly at the time.

It’s really great it’s cool to see other trans people have similar experiences or feelings with MG’s music :3

[inland schooner]

Why I'm stealth I don't want unnecessary attention or even attention to it. It is merely an aspect of my life and it shouldn't effect how people see me

[zenith turtle]

fight club

[fallow moon]

fart club

[zenith turtle]

fight club is actually about being trans if u think about it

[chrome snow]

I think there's a video that I saw on one of machine girls playlists on YouTube about that.

[zenith turtle]

most ppl have a very surface lvl interp of it cuz they are cishet but it’s very interesting

i don’t wanna spoil anything but not everything is as it seems

[candid ore]

it's actually re-animator but close enough

[bronze ocean]

fight club is about being gay

[chrome snow]

I'm not really sure if you guys know this, but fight club is also about fighting.

It's crazy.

[bronze ocean]

more truth to this than you think actually

(wrote an essay on fight club and homoeroticism in senior year)

[sturdy trail]

so real

[bronze ocean]

i wasnt joking, i fully believe this

[misty harness]

every story that talks about masculinity directly is gay

[unborn atlas]

honestly like, it's so funny when clueless straight guys try to make something "badass" by stacking on muscle and >:( faces

Joe Mad lookinass

[bronze ocean]

as far as i'm concerned all masculinity is gay masculinity

[fallow moon]

im transgedner and my tummy hurts

[vapid dune]

Same. Me tummy rumbles real bad whenever I inject my valerate for some reason. Doesn’t hurt just gets rumbly

It’s the girl juice taking effect immediately

[bronze ocean]

this happens to me when i take my prog

[spice sphinx]

I just get slight headaches like every once in a while since starting progesterone

Also I got my e dose upped recently !!

[vapid dune]

Nice!!!

[spice sphinx]

I’m at 6mg per day now 😎

[vapid dune]

I prob need to lower it, wouldn’t doubt my E levels are like floating around 600 rn

[unborn atlas]

I'm getting my implant on the 30th

which has thrown a wrench in my plans for travel but it's ok

[vapid dune]

I’ve heard of those but how do they even work?

Are they like a patch like they constantly provide E through the skin or what’s the deal with those

[unborn atlas]

implant!

implanted

in the front of my hip

[vapid dune]

Oh

[unborn atlas]

it's like a pill and it releases estrogen over a period of 6 to 9 months

[vapid dune]

Sick

[unborn atlas]

cis women get em

[vapid dune]

Mhm mhm so I’ve heard

[unborn atlas]

it's totally just regular medicine but americans always seem so wowed by it

[vapid dune]

I think I’ll just stick to injections for the rest of my life, tbh they give me so much comfort like I FEEL like I’m doing it right which I didn’t when I did sublingual

Like with sublingual I worried I wasn’t doing it right and just missed out on E

[unborn atlas]

injections freak me out

I can't look when they take my blood

I'm big baby

[vapid dune]

These past few weeks I’ve live-streamed my E injection on mondays while in the voice chat here cus like

Idk why talking to someone eases my worry when injecting

[spice sphinx]

This gets me all the time

I thought I was just paranoid but idk

Might bring it up with the doc

[spice sphinx]

Oh yeah I had no idea until I had to get bloodwork done for hrt that I actually get really squeamish about having my blood pulled out of my body

[unborn atlas]

I'd be curious about that

for scientific reasons

also maybe alleviating my fear if I ever gotta do em

do they go in the leg?

[vapid dune]

Intramuscular goes on the side of your thigh. I do subcutaneous, goes 2 inches out of your bellybutton

I use a different corner a week

[unborn atlas]

hooh scary scary

[vapid dune]

I find it more reassuring since I got thighs the size of Alaska

So I’d feel like it isn’t going in right

It took me like over a month to get consistent with it. First month or so I was still struggling with method, I bruised a few times, it would sometimes leak out, it would be hard to get air bubbles out of the syringe

But by now it’s ezpz

Did stress me out a big tho ngl

[unborn atlas]

yeah I would need emotional support

[timid rose]

dude i fucking HATE needles

syringes

[unborn atlas]

I've always had The Fear

I was inconsolable as a child

now I'm old and I still get a lil upset

[timid rose]

dude literally any time i'd have to get a shot at the doctors i would cry

[vapid dune]

I never had an issue with them as a kid so I knew they’d be a perfect fit for me while on HRT cus of how well your body absorbs it thru that method

[timid rose]

i didn't even have a bad experience with them

i was just fucked at birth and got the fear from my mom

if that's even possible

if not i have no clue how i got it then

[vapid dune]

I don’t think I ever had a fear. Or idk maybe I got used to them cus as a kid I’d spend so much time sick in the hospital

[snow loom]

i could never do injections for hrt lol

i wish i had some cyberpunk tier implant in me that gave me estrogen

[fallow moon]

there is i think

also same

[snow loom]

i have heard of it and im just like

please

let me complete my non human cyberpunk fantasy

[fallow moon]

i can feel too much in my body

like just being able to feel the needle under my skin will make me go weird and punch something

[vapid dune]

This will be transitioning in 2013

[fallow moon]

thats not long then

[snow loom]

my favourite game is deus ex and my favourite movie is ghost in the shell lol

but i think im slightly masochistic

[vapid dune]

So true

It doesn’t even hurt when done properly tbh tbh like you don’t even feel it enter

I have only seen one of the evil dead movies but I can't unsee him as trans bc of the fanart :]

Also look at his style

[unborn atlas]

I'm Zenobia with a 🐐

[chrome snow]

Im jjjoey with a jjj

[unborn atlas]

the (mainstream) alternative music station in australia is Triple J

[candid ore]

pretty much every homestuck character

[unborn atlas]

Kim Kitsuragi tbh

[spice sphinx]

I know there is someone else in here with wayne from hylics as like their discord profile, but hylics has a lot of queer energy to it and in the sequel you can walk up to a mirror and change wayne’s model between ones that are called “male wayne” and “fem wayne” in the files and this is totally cool and awesome and it’s never acknowledged or treated as anything different than an outfit change.

Sorry that was a longwinded explanation but yeah that’s why wayne from hylics is ultimate trans rep

[unborn atlas]

I didn't know about this

[unborn atlas]

I assume canon trans characters don't count?

[spice sphinx]

https://tenor.com/view/hylics-wayne-mason-lindroth-dance-gif-13703870

Hehehe

Schmovin

[unborn atlas]

Wayne's kinda dripped out also ngl

[spice sphinx]

Real

I wear gloves a lot in real life as both a sensory thing and like general aesthetic and that makes hylics perfect for FREAKS like me

[unborn atlas]

I wear gloves too

[spice sphinx]

THOSE ARE SO SICK

You are so cool

[unborn atlas]

I'm the coolest

[zinc oriole]

One of my hylics 2 hcs is that since all the waynes are clones of hylics 1 wayne, some of the waynes must be trans :] I also interp the fem outfit as trans coded bc early in hylics 2's development, there was a new more fem wayne protagonist named decres and I personally hc them as transfem

I'm glad Mason kept both models in

[zinc oriole]

I'm glad I am not the only one

[spice sphinx]

Ikr!! I was gonna bring up the decres thing but I didn’t want to infodump for tooo long

[zinc oriole]

:) all infodumping is good

[spice sphinx]

Also yeah kim kitsuragi is so totally trans coded

[zinc oriole]

I really relate to Kim and tbh the way other characters treat him in the game are similar to my experience as a transmasc who likes men

So that's what I see for him

[austere jay]

him

i will not elaborate but he is transgender

[timid grail]

youre so right

[unborn atlas]

Warframe's got a couple trans characters

[spice sphinx]

Xaku my beloved

[unborn atlas]

I reckon Xaku is like, plural they

because they're 3 people

[spice sphinx]

Yeah that’s what’s been implied

[unborn atlas]

also Unum is a lesbian

[spice sphinx]

Voruna is transcoded I can’t even elaborate on it that’s just real

She’s a wlfgrl

[unborn atlas]

YE I've given her a colour palette

been streaming levelling her the last few days

shin dorohedoro honestly

[zinc oriole]

More of an obscure choice but sabitsuki from .flow reads as transmasc to me for some reason idk why

Could be me projecting since I relate to them in a lot of ways

What a miserable person to be doing smth so cruel to somebody she doesn't even know

She's going to have an awful life and no meaningful connections if she acts that way

[astral gull]

Ah man I'm so sorry about that, like you can't go out into the world and not expect to see someone who is trans like

This is not your world so don't laugh at people when they don't fit your (bigoted) idea of normal

[austere jay]

just had the most heartbreaking conversation with my dad about my transition. it looks like i’m going to have to move out if i want to continue on testosterone. i’ve been out for 6 years and i’m getting so tired of waiting for my parents to believe in me and my choices. i’m feeling incredibly hopeless

i love being transgender but the emotional pain that comes with it is too much for me sometimes

[civic ibex]

how many pipe bombs we mailing folks

[cold whale]

fuck, dude. i’m so sorry. parents are huge puckered assholes sometimes and u deserve to be who u are

[austere jay]

i’m not even angry. i love my dad and i know he loves me it just hurts so deeply to know that he will never see the joy that transitioning is bringing me

[civic ibex]

i’m so sorry babes. as much as it hurts i hope he sees that transitioning is not a choice for those who can and hope even more that he realizes that soon you can properly build a productive and nurturing relationship with him when HE understands you for who you are, and not who he wants you to be. sending you so much love 🫂

we love you vinny💖

[austere jay]

thank you i appreciate it

hopefully i can find affordable housing elsewhere

[austere jay]

i’ve decided i’m going to put my foot down and look at moving out on my own. i’m not going to sacrifice my own joy for my dads misguided beliefs

at my last visit i finally told my newest therapist abt me being trans. always got too anxious to tell my last one but his first reaction was thankfully really supportive. I’ve had bad reactions in the past so this was a breath of fresh air

now on to my first ever psych appointment tomorrow😼

[chrome snow]

Heck yeah!

I hope everything goes well!

[austere jay]

got my t refilled awe yeah

had to take a smaller than normal shot last time since i didn’t have enough and couldn’t get it refilled

[wintry marten]

[inland schooner]

i got a new binder finally all my other ones dont fit anymore cuz of the gym

[spice sphinx]

[chrome snow]

I want to get one so bad!

They look so amazing.

[wintry marten]

i was gonna get a small one but on a whim asked them to pierce it bigger

so it’s thick now

[austere jay]

so funny cuz my big ass septum is affirming to my gender too

who am i if not bull septum ring guy

[bronze ocean]

bridge piercing trans vs huge septum trans

[wintry marten]

WHY NOT BOTH

[bronze ocean]

truuuuu

the vs. means they kiss :)

[vapid dune]

I’m about to hit 8 months HRT LETS GOOOOO 2/3 of the way to a year

[bronze ocean]

lets go!!!!

[vapid dune]

Also coincidentally last year in January was when my egg cracked and I broke up with my ex cus she would not tolerate me transitioning. I chose my own well-being over her so double W this January

[chrome snow]

HELL YEAH!

HELLLLLLLL FUCKIN YEA

[civic ibex]

ALSO HUGE W SHE BROKE U UP

[vapid dune]

A year ago but yea

[vapid dune]

Wooooooo I just walked out of another job cus, surprise surprise, people would rather be complete bigots than admit they’re wrong and just learn to accept a trans person. I hope you all have jobs that tolerate your identity and don’t actively attack you for it, because it sure blows to have managers at every single job making an active effort to alienate you and treat you like shit

Alabama sucks ass don’t move here if ur trans but maybe u could already guess that

Place will not protect your rights as a trans person, ever

[balmy pond]

I'm so sorry this keeps happening to you, fuck every last one of these heartless, good for nothing bastards

I havent even bothered at mine. Sure is something hearing these boys talk abt "the women" around me tho

[vapid dune]

And it’s always the same worthless sacks of shit “oh we LOVE trans and gay people like we accept them and will provide a good environment for them oh wow you’re trans that’s so cool you BET we’ll treat you accordingly!!!”

[balmy pond]

They're in it for the likes, nothing more

[vapid dune]

I’m not even upset tbh I’m not asking for pity cus I was the only one working that afternoon shift and I left him without a server cus he was taunting me that I wouldn’t leave lmao so I’m laughing my ass off rn

Like good luck with the 3 large groups and several tables I had you bozo

[balmy pond]

The worst is when its cis gays being horrible transphobes. Like dumbass, if the fascists win its YOUR ass next

Lmfaoo baller af

[vapid dune]

Yea I had one such guy at this place who would talk endless shit about me and to turn the other employees against me

Like my brother in Christ. This state hates you as much as it hates me and I’m trying to get along for that and you’re instead gonna treat me like shit?

Like they want to take your rights away too homie we’re supposed to be a team

[balmy pond]

It's so beyond stupid I dont get it

I dunno I guess when some people are used to getting shit on all their lives they wanna punch down for once

IT'S HAPPENED.

Oklahoma has introduced a bill that is effectively a de facto ban on ALL gender affirming care in the state. It bans all state and federal funding for any provider that performs gender affirming care is effectively a ban on all care.

Idk how aware you all are of what’s going on in Oklahoma

But if you live in another red state. I would genuinely be fearing for my life

This is seriously only getting worse and worse and it’s genuinely upsetting. I don’t know what state to move to but like. I know Alabama is the poster child for following into shitty Republican legislature trends like that. I feel that we’re soon getting the same attempt at a ban

Sorry if this is like idk something different from the norm here but. This country is getting actively more hostile against us and it’s worth being informed on and to make it clear our vote counts to SOMETHING

[chrome snow]

I genuinely don't know what to say about this, this is absolutely fucking disgusting what they're doing with these bills.

They're actively trying to hurt innocent people out of bigotry and hatred.

Fuck Oklahoma.

i’m growing insane amounts of hair EVERYWHERE it’s fantastic

oooo and my trans tape arrives tomorrow

[unborn atlas]

tape?

[austere jay]

i’m excited at the prospect of wearing it multiple days in a row jt seems really convenient

[austere jay]

sort of like kt tape but for your chest, you use it to pull back and flatten

[unborn atlas]

o yayaya

[austere jay]

photo i tried to send is explicit apparently but just imagine

[unborn atlas]

yea no I get it

[austere jay]

i also am most likely getting a tattoo tomorrow which is fantastic for feeling more at home in my body

body mods help me with my dysphoria

[unborn atlas]

what are you getting tattooed?

[austere jay]

the shop i’m visiting is doing 50$ flash for friday the 13th, so whatever design they have that i like basically

i’m looking to get something done in american traditional style

i’m trying to keep most of my big professional tattoos american traditional

id like to get an american trad butterfly on my throat at some point

[unborn atlas]

trad butterfly?

[austere jay]

like this

i want a mg tattoo too but am unsure of what to do since i can’t use wolf imagery (have a big tattoo planned with wolves and don’t want too much repeat in ideas)

I had my 4th session of laser a week and a half ago and it’s almost all fallen out and I’ve seen the most improvement from this session my face is as smooth as a baby’s ass and my 5 o clock shadow is gone, the euphoria is real :333

[balmy pond]

Omg luckyyyyy

I've been broke af so I havent had a laser session in forever, shit sucks ;-;

[austere jay]

at my t appointment now i forgot how much anxiety planned parenthood gives me

i’ll be ok tho we good

mfw they ask me for my sexuality and i have to change my answer from gay to other

[fallow moon]

umm what the trans

[austere jay]

booo nevermind today was just labs

i forgot my dose appointment is on the 28th

[vapid dune]

I’m sry, I’ve heard nightmares about getting HRT through planned parenthood so I hope it’s all good for you

They were my first consideration for HRT but my local planned parenthood locations didn’t offer HRT, and they referred me to the only trans care clinic in Alabama which, if I had gone with, I’d likely still not be on HRT cus of the whole therapist requirement and all the waiting so my only real option was Plume, and while they’re expensive I have nothing but positive things to say about their services :3

[balmy pond]

If anyone's looking for a new place to get hrt r/asktransgender has a map of informed consent clinics. If going through planned parenthood isnt working too great maybe you find something on here?
https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1DxyOTw8dI8n96BHFF2JVUMK7bXsRKtzA&ll=42.47025816653199%2C-97.03854516744877&z=4

Not sure how up to date it is tbh. The place I go to isnt on there iirc, but still

[vapid dune]

The Alabama locations are not correct I can say that much. Our options are far more limited in Birmingham to a single clinic (magic city wellness center) and without informed consent. But the Mobile, AL location is indeed correct

So idk how correct the rest are but that’s my input for my state so idk for the rest

Still a cool resource! And I will again mention Plume as they are available in almost every state, have informed consent and can usually get you started with your first appointment for HRT in a couple months after signing up :3 if u don’t mind 90 bucks a month

[inland schooner]

I use KT tape for transtape and it works the same, only difference may be sizing of it tbh. I steal it from my local shopping centre but it's like 1o bucks a roll and it lasts me maybe a month or so

[wintry marten]

after a long day i really like to come home and look at my reflection for a sec and see how my body is changing

estrogen is so magical

IT MAKES ME SO HAPPY

[austere jay]

they’ve generally been fine for me i just forgot it was a labs appointment and not a consult

[austere jay]

i’ve used kt tape in the past and im not the biggest fan, it’s a bit too stretchy for me so i was looking for something a bit more rigid

kt tape also only stayed like 6 hours max for me which is super inconvenient for me

[inland schooner]

Oh yeah, fair. I've only used transtape once so I may not be the best example-ist

[zinc oriole]

Does kt tape tear at your skin at all? With transtape it'd like

Almost rip my skin off

Otherwise it worked really well for me and I've been looking for an alternative

[inland schooner]

Oh definitely, it is tape of course so it will. Unless you use oil to remove it, I use baby oil and coconut oil and never have any issues when I use it. Just let it soak for a few minutes then take off the tape and residue. When I don't it can be painful, but honestly it varies alot

[zinc oriole]

Omg tysm I didn't even think of that

Last time I kind of just brute forced it lol (as in taking it off extremely slow with no additional help

[austere jay]

sort of, in my experience i had more of an issue with sticky residue left over

taking it off at most felt like a bandaid

[zinc oriole]

I think I'm going to look into getting some today it seems worth it

[zinc oriole]

Omg I tried it and it works! It's way less adhesive than transtape but that works out in my favor since I have sensitive skin

I'm soo so happy ty @inland schooner

[inland schooner]

Ya of course!!! I'm so glad u culd fin something that works better :D!!!

[inland schooner]

You just gotta leave some oil on it rhen rub circles so it loosens then peels off :) to get rid of the oil tbh I just use wish soap LOL but it works. Stings a bit cuz skin sensitive half the time but ya

The kt tape will be good for a base underneath so taking it off doesn't hurt as bad

[inland schooner]

If ur not American try to look for companies within your region because it is a bitch for shippint

The TT I got from official transtape site was like 80 dollars but the one from th3 site i used was like 20 including shipping

(Im australian)

[austere jay]

80??? jesus

i feel for you i live in the states so shipping wasn’t too crazy

definitely feeling more confident going into work today

got to just walk around my house without my shirt off today i felt so much joy

how do i get that cause my game is always crashing on steam

[timid grail]

i realized in march ill have been out as trans for 9 years, really crazy how fast time goes by

and 10 years ago i started realizing im not cis

[celest plume]

That's so cool! Congratulations :D

For me it's been about 5 years, which still feels weird because I still sort of feel like I "just started out" even though most people in my life act like my journey's already over

[vapid dune]

Woahg that’s a long time, nice my friend!!!

I realized I for sure wasn’t cis when I was around 16, so about 9 years ago. I just knew my masculinity didn’t feel right at all. A bit of a bummer it took 8 years after to finally transition but we all get there eventually

[balmy pond]

Let's fucking gooooooooooooo!!!

[balmy pond]

Same omg. I knew something was up by like 15 or 16 but didnt know there was something I could do abt it yknow? Just that for whatever reason I felt like a teenage girl.

I was soooooo close to cracking at 18 tho, it kills me thinking abt where I'd be now if I just took the chance :(

[vapid dune]

I did crack at 18. I was gonna do it. I made it clear to all my friends at the time. But circumstances happened and 6 years of waiting it became

It does to some extent bother me I was so close yet so far

But I can’t lament it cus I’m there now and that’s what counts :3

[balmy pond]

Yeah ur right, nows all that matters
We're fucking doing it >:D that's more than most people can say

[vapid dune]

Heck yea!!!

8 months, getting there :3

[balmy pond]

Same c:

[vapid dune]

Yea! We’re like the same age and started roughly at the same time, it’s kinda sick ngl

[balmy pond]

I know!!! hrt sisters woo

[vapid dune]

I have a friend irl who also started may last year like within a week of when I did so, it’s cool to see how we’re both coming along each month

[balmy pond]

That's so nuts, my cousin started T not even a month before I started hormones

AHHHHH omg that's so cool! Kinda jealous lol, it'd be so comforting to have someone to go through it with

[vapid dune]

Well, we’re the same age and started at roughly the same time so, hey I’m here my friend! HRT sisters

[balmy pond]

Aggy I'd be honored to walk the walk with you :3
Thank you, truly

[celest plume]

Seeing trans people bonding over shared experiences has gotta be one of the best things to witness, I love our community so much :D

[vapid dune]

The honor is mine my frend :3

[celest plume]

Makes me wish I had trans friends irl

[vapid dune]

I met my trans frend on tinder lmao we were like “oh shit we kinda vibe together but you’re seriously not my type romantically, let’s just be friends”

Only time in my life tinder has been useful for anything, really don’t recommend it for finding a relationship it’s very much not trans friendly

[balmy pond]

Yknow, if u want to chat more u can feel free to dm me, I wouldnt mind c:

[balmy pond]

I know what u mean. I have a few around here but we're usually too busy with work n life stuff to hang out much anymore :/

[balmy pond]

Yknow u could try finding a trans support group near u!! My partner and I r in one, it helps immensely

[celest plume]

That's awesome!!

[celest plume]

Oh that's unfortunate :(

[celest plume]

Also I only know one of them, and it was great and all but I already went there when I had just come out but uh I used to be really insufferable back then so I'm kind of ashamed to show my face there again

I was 15 years old at the time

I wasn't really familiar with the trans community so I used to have very truscum-like opinions and takes I wouldn't shut up about

so yeah even if they didn't care or don't even remember me, my social anxiety would just not allow me to go there again lol

but now that you mention it I might look for other trans support groups nearby, I'm really eager to make more friends :D

[balmy pond]

Awe, I get that I'm the same way

Dont be too hard on yourself, u were a kid and kids dont always know better

But yeah I think if u could find other one it would help a lot! It's good to have folks around u who get it, yknow?

[celest plume]

Yeah!

I met a transmasc person recently through a friend's friend and like

It was genuinely kinda painful not to be able to just out myself and try to befriend him and stuff (I dont because i prefer remaining stealth around my cis friend group bc they're uh cis)

so i was just sat there thinking about how I just kinda couldn't approach one of the only person who'd get me

It's weird to explain but yeah ever since that day I just really wanna befriend some other trans people :D

[fallow moon]

im ransrender

[celest plume]

DOPE!!

[unborn atlas]

bein trans rox

[balmy pond]

I get that tbh. I'm not out to most people yet and it hurts so bad. Everytime I see someone who might be trans or at least queer I wanna reach out or at least have them see me but I'm too scared to just be openly trans

That being said Zenoby is right, being trans fucking rules

I'm always scared that reaching out to another trans person might make them anxious or sad that I clocked them or something so I don't :(

I wish we had some sort of secret wink or handshake or something to identify ourselves without it being cringey or dangerous

[unborn atlas]

seeing another trans person in public is always a double edged sword

you don't wanna bring attention to the fact that you clocked em so you just sort of go 👀 from a distance

altho a random trans person complimenting my clothes will make me un fucking killable for at least an hour

(that happened once)

[balmy pond]

Yeah fr. Sometimes just seeing each other is enough tho

Just to know u arent the only person in the world like this

[balmy pond]

Thats amazing
Yo if this happened to me irl I'm afraid I might fall out of world

[unborn atlas]

nah it's like getting a mario star

[celest plume]

Literally the definition of euphoria

ngl i feel like trans people would get a lot more compliments if other trans people weren't so shy lmao

Every single time I see someone who looks like they might be trans I always gush about it for hours to my gf bc of how cool they tend to look, if i had the courage to do so i would definitely compliment every one of them

[unborn atlas]

trans people have the power to apply buffs to other trans people

[celest plume]

btw can I just mention that this discord server is like the friendliest place ive ever had the chance to join? i barely started talking in here and yall already made me feel super safe

[balmy pond]

There was one time I was at the doctors office and this person just randomly came up to me n said "my partner wanted me to tell u that they think ur super pretty"

And like

[celest plume]

awwh!

[balmy pond]

I was glowing for houuuuuurs after that

[celest plume]

Best compliment I ever got was that one time I went to the bathroom at a bar and some moderately drunk girl noticed me and just couldn't stop going on about how pretty I was to her and asked to take a picture of me

which I said yes to ofc!

I was super euphoric for like an entire week after that event

[bronze ocean]

i love being trans gender‼️

[celest plume]

we're literally magic

[unborn atlas]

[bronze ocean]

yea!! i have trans genny :D

[timid grail]

aww all this is so sweet trans solidarity really does keep me going through hard times

i only started medically transitioning in 2021, and i got my name and gender legally changed in 2022, but i think it was the right choice for me to wait for medical transitioning. but its nice to be out for a long time and im glad ive been able to do a lot of work supporting my local community

ive done a lot of lgbt advocacy work the past few years and i work with highschool students right now and it makes me happy to have the ability to be the support i needed back then

ive also done gender education when my little brother was in elementary school and it made me happy to be able to give children early on the knowledge about what being trans is and that its normal and okay to be trans or gnc or whatever you want to be

i came out when my brother was 5 and he is the best ally ever i remember walking up to him and telling him im his big brother now and to call me my new name and use he/him and he was like okay :D and went back to playing with his cars and never slipped up after that. it really shows that transphobia isnt the default, its learned. inspiring empathy and education in kids and teens for lgbt people is really important

hes such a sweet kid lmao he literally came out to my mom as straight 😭😭😭😭

[balmy pond]

That's absolutely incredible, your should be so proud of yourself!! You're probably saving those kids lives

Kids r actually the best tho. My friends niece is like that; when they explained to her that I'm a girl she came up me when I was sitting on the couch and was like "ur sitting on the girls couch, is that why your a girl?"

[unborn atlas]

girl's couch?

[balmy pond]

Yeah lol

Cuz like I was sitting there with her and her aunt

Hence it's the girls couch now

I dunno kids have a goofy way of conceptualizing shit sometimes

[unborn atlas]

that's tru

[bronze ocean]

i wanna sit on the girls couch

[balmy pond]

theres always an open spot on the girls couch dont u worry

[unborn atlas]

I want a couch with spider legs

[balmy pond]

Isnt that what we've been talking abt?

[unborn atlas]

what are we talking about?

[balmy pond]

The girls couch

[bronze ocean]

rat couch

[unborn atlas]

the girls couch should be mobile and stealthy for night missions

[balmy pond]

Yes

It comes equipped with thermoptic camouflage

[timid grail]

kids are so funny

[fallow moon]

still kinda worried about self defense for me

cuz im gonna be wearing a trans pin around now

[unborn atlas]

I have a trans pin but it's very small and subtle and lost in a sea of others

[cold whale]

i have a pin that’s a snake w trans colors but i never wear it :(

[civic ibex]

i have two little trans ribbon pins on my jacket but they’re kinda hidden outta plain sight bc i live in texas ;)

[balmy pond]

No trans pins but I've got a she/her one that I always take off when going to the store lol

The gay apparel one stays on tho

[unborn atlas]

my sister gave me a pin but it was too big and sorta faded

[zinc oriole]

Thinking of getting a trans pin so other trans people feel safe around me

[unborn atlas]

I wear mine as a sort of, like

nonverbal communicator

[balmy pond]

I feel that

I think for me it's to coax the pride out

Just put it out there for everyone to see and own it and not have to hide anymore

[unborn atlas]

I am not very prideful

[balmy pond]

I try to be

Its pretty hard most of the time tho

[inland schooner]

Is anyone else here stealth? :'')

[unborn atlas]

stealth people are so powerful I stg

I could never

[zinc oriole]

Yes but I tell trans people I'm trans

Bc I don't want them to see me as a cis dude

[unborn atlas]

ye trans people are different

[zinc oriole]

I've had experiences where I trusted cis people and told them I'm trans and even if they met me and thought I was passing, they immediately start treating me differently and subtly misgendering me

So never again

[timid grail]

i am stealth as well i dont tell anyone outside of friends

[inland schooner]

im stealth at school but its so annoying cuz i started medically transitioning while at school and beforehand i didnt really try. i pass really well now but some people are like...? u look familiar

(familiar cause in my school, alot of people from my primary school are there

[inland schooner]

this is 100% the reason why i will never tell people im trans unless i have to. i do not want to be treated any different. no special treatment or fragile shit. im just a guy. ive always been a guy

subconsciously or consciously people will always see you differently no matter what if you dont want anything to change don't come out. nobody has to know

but its difficult for me cause my school documents out me since it has a big fat F on them. i pass really well but i still hav teachers privately asking me what my pronouns are and its super polite and all but i wish i wouldnt have to be asked

but also the experience where i am with cis guys is alot of casual misgendering but with eachother ( as in a poke at eachothers masculinity by calling eachother women n shit) but i have luckily mastered the arts of deflection by joking about it. so im not really bothered anymore

[timid grail]

i understand im stealth at work and school as well (and generally in public) just because i really dont want to deal with how people would treat or see me differently if they knew im trans

i hate that cis people just instantly see you differently

[bronze ocean]

im too genderfucked to be stealth

[timid grail]

its why i didn’t tell barely anyone when i started hrt bc i didnt want people to be looking for changes does that make sense

like i didnt want ppl to be expecting shit to change or comment on it

i only said something when it became more obvious like my voice dropping and stuff

[zenith turtle]

I have a she/her pin on a vest and I wear it on purpose to clock myself lololol

[austere jay]

i’m stealth in public 95% of the time

all my coworkers know i’m trans tho

it’s nice to be able to disclose it to who i want instead of just immediately getting clocked
