Not at all, agree 100%! You just don't need to be bi to be in a straight relationship with a trans woman as a man, of course :))

Aw shucks, dude, I'm sorry to hear you failed even basic biology. I'll think fondly of you whilst I do surgeries on Monday 🫂

The labia and scrotum are homologous structures, which just means they come from the same embryonic tissue which only differentiates one way or the other based on specific hormone activation. Same for the clitoris and the penis. Same for ovaries and testes

So when you rub against labia, you're not far off from technically rubbing against ball skin equivalent anyway, since they're from the exact same progenitor - the labioscrotal folds. It's now gay to fuck a cis woman. I diagnose you personally with Gay regardless, sorry bud

What's with all the racist and transphobic polls lately, Jesus Christ, talk about something else that's more fun to see country-based polls on

I assume — as with all things biology — that comes with a huge Exceptions Apply tag? Because I'm a trans man, yet I experience the 'standard cis man illness experience' in that I exceedingly rarely get ill, even mildly, so when I *do get ill, even just a cold, it knocks me on my bloody arse, and I'm out of commission for at least a week

When I first found out that's a stereotypical male experience, I thought 'Dang, even my physical body is trying to give me signs' xD

As a trans guy, care to help?? I'm trying to grow my hair out now, but I have no fucking idea what to do with it. Even when I was younger, I had the same routine as I do now. I don't know how to make it look healthy or what products even are, I don't know much about styling, I don't know what's good to do to and what's not, etc. And there are so many conflicting things. Some people say don't you dare brush/comb dry, and others say don't you dare brush/comb wet. It's overwhelming, and it hasn't even got to my neck yet. How do so many women do this, it makes me just want to go back to short because at least it doesn't look awful and frizzy

Same for skin lmao. Soap, water, moisturiser, and a shrug

I voted No in the UK because we have idiot fucking roadmen chavs that shout it to be 'hard' and get attention by being edgy. In London where it's particularly rife, it's not unusual to hear that prankster crap at least twice a day

'PUSIO'?? You mean to tell me that every reject chav trying to insult you is actually just calling you a twink lmao??

Only if she's having sex with another woman, then yeah, duh

I always preferred doing boyish stuff, dressing in boy's clothes, avoiding jewellery and makeup and frilly clothing, etc. I preferred playing male roles in drama, I preferred maining male characters in games or in writing. I hung out with boys way more, because they just got me? Our personalities were a lot more similar, and I just didn't fit in with the girls. It's very stereotypical, but the girls in my school just didn't enjoy rough sports, didn't enjoy getting dirty, and were a lot quieter and calmer

So since I was a child, I always knew something was different. The idea that kids can't know they're trans is bollocks. They 100% can. The concept of gender starts developing around 3–5 years old or something

Because of the above ways in which I acted, I was always labelled as a 'tomboy', as many AFABs are often labelled if they don't fit into the narrow stereotypical 'pretty girl' role. I didn't know any better. I was a kid without modern internet, so I didn't have the ways to educate myself on this matter, and the people around me didn't know any better, either. I accepted the label, only because I didn't know I had another choice

It was only until I met my secondary school friend, and he told me what being transgender was. It felt like a light lit up in my brain. THAT was my experience! THAT was the proper label for me. What do you mean it's not just me who hates being made to act like the thing I had the misfortune to be born as?

So we came out as trans together at ~13, coincidentally as puberty started. But woohoo, education was crap, even in the early 2010s. And the NHS had/has a ridiculously long wait-time. I was on the child gender clinic for years, then because I became an 'adult' (16), I slipped through the cracks between services, and had to re-refer and wait for years again. I didn't even manage to get testosterone until I was 21

So even though I 'knew' from childhood, and actually completely realised with just enough time to stop puberty from progressing further, because of the poor education surrounding it and the awful way in which being trans is dealt with by medical practitioners, I had to endure going through the wrong puberty, watching it turn my body into everything that wasn't me. My depression was excruciating

That's why education and puberty blockers are so important to offer. If people around me knew more about it, I could have identified my label much sooner. I could have gained access to puberty blockers much sooner, and saved myself from all the years of self-loathing that took a lot of effort to get over. Slight tangent lmao

You'd love r/InstantKarma, then
