In a thread on shit.justworks calling us names for having the 'we're banning misogynists' thread, users are literally arguing over the definition of transphobia, and not banning the transphobes, oh yeah
βcan you imagine consequences for bigotry? weβd have to shut down the entire instanceβ
I had an exhausting downer of a day but these fluffy doofuses make it a little better
They have their own barstools so two of them can look out the back door at the same time when the sun's out but they always want to crowd each other sitting together and that's very sweet to me
Seeing the cis lads cry about being "discriminated against" because of "my gender which I didn't choose" PICK A BETTER ONE LOSER
POV: trans reddit
i literally have no idea what i would do without hexbear you guys are the only thing that keeps me sane
the existence of a trans mega has made the main mega much less interesting
ALRIGHT NERDS
Bought a couple fuckin, As Recommended By Hairsnobs (r/curlygirl rec) shampoo and conditioners. Primarily the HE Jojoba + Lavender curl conditioner, and the hemp oil frizz control shampoo. Only my fourth or so shampoo/conditioner combo. Please work.
an old lady at work called me "dear" earlier. I'm pretty sure that's a unisex term but honestly I'd rather be called dear than ma'am so I'll take that as a win
it would be funny if someone wrote a script to temp ban all he/hims for 1 day on april fools
The cissies in my life are absolutely clueless. I can not imagine what they think when they see me. They must think this is just what I look like with long hair and a shaved face. But when I catch a reflection of myself, all I see is my mom.
I dunno what Floridians are gonna do, like, long term. People lived on Florida for millennia, but the particular western way of living and the western mode of builidng/habitation along with climate change means I don't think people can live there like... anymore (unless one if the above changes). Hurricanes aren't going to stop. You'll still need insurance for a mortgage, or maybe they'll just stop offering both in Florida. It's not like there will be a collective effort to rebuild, there wasn't for New Orleans, they're still fucked over.
Everyone always told me I acted like a bottom long before ever realizing I was trans but I never really felt like I actually wanted to do that in bed
and then I started E and good lord has it turned me into something completely different now
I'm working on fixing up my life, chat. What do we think:
- Switch from American to Chinese cigarettes
That's all I've got right now but I think it's a good start
damn i think i could make a plan to transition to look like this in about 5 years
I think hexbear.net is a safe space to be online for transpeople, nobody's perfect, but this place is alright
I did just see the 'grr cheaters' thread from last fortnight, and haha wow, there's some people on this website who need to 'touch grass', (I hear the grass is nice in Siberia)
in lighter news: I realised I've been using neo pronouns ('ey/'em/'er/'im) and its just because i speak with kind of a drawl or something
BIG cw: loss, sadness, sui

feeling kinda down, ive been remembering some of my past failures as an organizer for mutual aid stuff in my locale and not reacting quickly enough due to technical or time issues. like i get its not my fault that this happened and is largely an infrastructure/trans people being poor issue/not having enough free time... but still. i think its so important that we build up a mutual aid structure that is highly centralized (but can be replaced if it breaks down) so we dont lose people because we didnt respond quickly enough. things like the trevor project / the phone hotlines are ok, but we really need a setup that can receive messages and respond to other trans people so they dont fucking off themselves before we give them, food, housing, medical stuff... stuff that would have solved their problems.
im hoping someday we'll have all of our shit lined up. im fucking tired of the nth trans related charity that has a long drawn out process of means testing rather than directly assisting trans people as quickly as possible. im not like, super depressed or suicidal or anything anymore, just really sad for the people that are.
I have so many things I want to do
- I'm still grinding away learning frontend coding stuff
- Started learning Japanese finally (almost done learning hiragana)
- I want to write stories again
- I want to make videos again
- I want to see more places, especially more countries
So much to do, maybe I'll even do it
Idk if I have the heart to tell my work apprentice that Iβm not a woman, haha. She sees me as a βstrong woman in a male dominated fieldβ and I think Iβm ok with letting her think that for now, since she can see herself in that image. But I canβt do it forever. Fortunately I think sheβll be cool with it when I eventually tell her Iβm nonbinary.
Hey Trans comrades, got a question about questioning. If it's inappropriate to do this here, lmk asap and I'll delete. Don't wanna intrude in an undesirable way but pretty sure I'm not breaking any rules.
So I've said before that I feel no strong attachment to my gender, but I live daily as a masc-presenting cis-man and am not bothered by it. But the Q-label is always something I've questioned whether I can apply it permanently to myself. Seems like I'm constantly questioning, for years, what kind of gender would really apply to me because just "average Man" doesn't seem like me, but nothing really does either (not even agender). But I'm confortable enough with myself that I think I will never do anything except continue enjoying the questioning itself and learning from that questioning about myself and others. But I comfortably just go with cis-man and feel intrusive in queer spaces as anything but an Ally.
So the final question, is Questioning dialectical and possibly permanent for 1 person or is it dialectical as in it will have to be subsumed in something else during a person's lifetime (assuming you get the chance to complete such a thing)? Any comrades that have experience here want to pitch in? Ready to learn :denguin:
Howdy beautiful people, I've made a post outlining our planned next steps regarding the site's misogyny problem here, please have a read through it when you get the chance
found a friend's reddit account and boy have i lost a tremendous deal of respect for them as a person
need a big button that says "please flirt aggressively. i am very dumb and can't do it back"
"I've never done anything with a boy before... please be gentle..."
I could pull it off. Cmon.
lmao, my dumbass was tapping the comment box in the old thread for like a full minute wondering why it wouldn't work
all these idiots getting raptured didn't even take their clothes and money and stuff with them
they may have got into heaven, but i have their doc martens
hey someone tell me that they're coming over to my place and want to fuck. my room is a mess and i need motivation to clean it. we don't have to fuck and you don't even have to come over actually
EDIT: i come back to hexbear and there are 5 fucking trans people in my notifications saying that they're coming over to play legos today wtf??
you aren't sexy? easy fix
-
put on bralette
-
put flannel over it. don't even button
-
combo with whatever pants you like
congrats girl, you're the sexiest bitch alive
trying to tell a girl i like her by thinking about her all the fucking time and not saying anything to her
god she's the cutest thing i've ever seen β₯οΈβ₯οΈβ₯οΈ
Yapping, 'boymode' theorising
We say that the cis are easy to fool, unobservant and to an extent that's absolutely true. But I also think that it's more about cisnormativity: not only are the cis not keyed to think "this person is changing their gender" of course, but also as a result they want to believe that the gender is the same. So even if their kid has inexplicably grown something chesty under that hoodie, why investigate when they are reassured by said kid that they're Still Totally A "Boy" For Sure, y'know? They have no vested interest in anything outside the gender status quo, usually, I think.
Had two medical appointments today and both predictably asked for a list of prescriptions I'm taking. Decided to list E and spiro for both (usually I haven't)... both times the only prescription either nurse asked about was the E/spiro (and for the second one, I just listed off like 6 other prescriptions, perhaps mispronouncing some of them and never was even asked to repeat any of them).
The spiro, I can understand given its also used as a bloodpressure med and a diruetic. How many other uses are the for E in people with a "Sex: M" on their medical chart?
I successfully convinced the gender clinic I'm trans enough to go on the bottom surgery wait list πͺ
Now it's only another year long wait
why the fuck does planned parenthood keep telling me that "Estrogen that makes you look like Misato Katsuragi" doesn't fucking exist. I know it does, hand it over!
@[email protected] when are all 17 of us getting together for legos today
yep. the day i was worried about when starting HRT has come. my tits are too large and visible to hide under my shirt anymore
eh. it was high time to stop pretending to be a man all day
t4t venting
disclaimer : none of what i'm about to say here is directed at anybody on this site. just processing some past stuff that's related if anything lol. furthermore, my intention is not to dictate what is & isn't a valid way of being trans, but to relate to you a very certain kind of individual yearning.
so it kinda hit me that the lack of leftists around me eventually got me stuck on this track of, like, expecting potential t4t contacts to at least not make me feel like an alien. boy was i ever a fool like, ok, how can i possibly expect the cissies in my life to understand where i'm coming from, when even the trans individuals i meet are clueless libs as a rule
like, i identify as a transfem enby, basically, which seems to be way too complicated for most folks, trans or not. & ofc on a rational level i understand that people are gonna people. even those who mean well tend to have an extremely limited idea of gender. still, i'd be lying if i said it wasn't outright painful to keep running into siblings who were content to be reinforcing the very things that are designed to hold us down.
i'm trans, first & foremost. all that i am beyond this is more or less directly due to the trauma of having to grow up in, navigate & survive a patriarchal society. i can not & will not forget what created me. i suppose it must have made sense to me that, finally connecting with "my own kind," it would be a common sentiment.
I'M FREE!!! I'M NEVER DOING A SHIFT WITH THIS GUY AGAIN!!!
He's not even bad, a few of my co-workers were talking shit (although idk what rumors were true or not) but HE DOESN'T STOP SMOKING. My poor asthmatic lungs still feel it, was coughing up a storm π
