That’s an awesome thing that you’re doing.

I’m okay with the lack of visibility in my daily life because it keeps me safe. The obvious drawback is the medical side of things. Feels like I’ve had to figure a lot of stuff out by myself because the resources just aren’t there for transmascs like there are for transfemmes. Much harder to DIY as well.

The language barrier sucks and I wish you the best of luck with your neocities project. Stay safe out there.

Same here. I rarely talk about it IRL.

Yep. It’s been a problem for a while. I’m adore IT so I fit into the fediverse alright, but the subculture around it is exclusionary in trans spaces.

The cool thing about the fediverse tho is that you can usually carve out your own space if you post on it/promote it enough.

MmmmmmMmmmmmm electrical wimigring chomp

Welcome! I’m also still waiting for my mustache hair to grow in too. I hope you find community and support in this space.

Yep. It’s just a part of life running into people like that. Doesn’t mean it doesn’t suck, but as you get more experience with it you’ll find your own ways of pushing back. A good comeback is “oh, so you see your mother as a sex object?” or something like that.

Thanks a bunch. I’ll make you mod

We need a name for this genre of dog. Mine looks exactly like this.

Oooooh, thank you. I was the one who made the pumping post.

It’s very frustrating that she supports Israel.

I don’t use outlook anymore but I do use Thunderbird and the UI is janky and outdated, plus it has to download and catch up on messages every time you open it.

Did you upgrade any of it or was that how it came out of the box? I like the look of it and the old thinkpad keyboards

I’m curious what are the specs on your machine

Nah you belong here, this community is for everybody who falls under the transmasc umbrella. Welcome to the community

Tumblr has a lot of LGBTQ people, but is a text based platform as opposed to a short form video platform.

I wish there were more studies on it. Had no idea that was a thing.

To add to this, make more friends. That can help fill the loneliness void.

I’m straight so not exactly the same situation but I recommend that you don’t let it take too much of your mental energy and do things that make you happy in the meantime. If you keep looking the odds are that you’ll find someone eventually, just takes time.

Can relate to the idea that it would be easier not being trans. It makes dating a lot more complicated to navigate and I’ve struggled with the idea that being trans makes me less desirable and attractive. Doesn’t help that I’m really bad at picking up if someone’s flirting with me and feel guilty if I do think that and what if she’s just being friendly. Ultimately I realized that the right person isn’t gonna care that I’m trans and will love me for my full self.

Hi fracture. Definitely can relate to the fear of scaring people as you get bigger. I haven’t been lifting weights or anything but it’s been something to get used to that people are generally more afraid of men.

You definitely should make a post about it on here if you’ve got interesting findings from your maximizing your bottom growth research. I’d be interested in reading.

And thanks for the appreciation. I’m grateful that you’re in this community too.
