Fun piece of trans history for you that I don't think people know about. The first doctor to perform a successful caesarean section where both mother and baby survive was performed by a Trans man. A guy called Dr James Barry was a trans man. He was born female but he lived as a man all his adult life. He worked for years as a surgeon and army doctor and while stationed in Africa in the 1820's he performed the first successful C Section where both mother and baby survived and the baby was names James after him. My mum did a paper on Dr James Barry as part of her history degree and I think he is an interesting figure. It was rumoured that he was Intersex but this was never confirmed.

Trans tortoise here. Came out at 45. As an egg I kept polling myself and others about how long they'd choose to be the opposite sex if they had a magic wand. You get to decide how long but you can't change your mind. You have to stay that way for that duration you picked and you can't then choose to stay the new sex. So one day, one year, 5 years. My answer to myself was always 20 years to life. When I asked other people almost ALL of them said they wouldn't change sex for even ONE DAY!?! I was utterly shocked. After getting that sort of answer from dozens of people I finally acknowledged that I was different. Interestingly, before I came out and it was just a hypothetical game, everyone was cool with my answer. And then I came out, started HRT and got top surgery. Suddenly everyone was far less cool with my less than hypothetical decision. lol

Omg, trans tortoise sounds so cute!! Seriously I'm pretty sure I'm cis, and I would absolutely switch sex for one day, or even a week. Just to know how it feels like to walk in somebody else's shoes. Like, I wanna try all the masculine privilege, and see for myself how people will react. I wanna walk the streets and see if people still stare, I wanna party and know how it's feels to not get touched or flirted to death by people who just won't take a no. I don't feel like a man, but I think I would be a good one. Maybe I wouldn't mind. I don't know. But being myself right now is pretty awesome. I hope you live your best tortoise life possible!

@@schokoloko2092 I'm 1 year on T and starting to pass in casual interactions. Male privilege is massive. I sometimes feel invisible because people *look* at women... all the time. And they don't with guys. I'm also a bigger guy and my body concerns virtually evaporated once I started really feeling like a man. Obviously dysphoria disappeared but concerns about my weight and always worrying about looking as thin and "cute" as possible also disappeared. An odd one I've noticed is that people are less pleasant to me but I also get way better customer service. Also people don't argue with me. Like if something is wrong on a bill I don't have to spend 10 minutes explaining and convincing. They just look and then fix it. I also feel 1000% safer walking around at night. The list is endless. (N.B. I am white and able bodied. So I experience multiple levels of privilege. A trans guy who is a person of colour or has a disability would assuredly experience more negativity.)

@Vergilius Brutus I found one on Livescience titled “never-before-seen ‘mud-mummy’ from Egypt discovered in wrong coffin”. In this case, the reasoning given for thinking it was put in the wrong coffin is that the body is older than the coffin it was found in, and that there’s a well-known trick in the antiques trade in the area of placing random mummies in random coffins in order to “sell a more-complete ‘set’”. I remember looking up a specific article a while ago, and generally the finger pointing is done at grave robbers and traders rather than assuming the freaking /Egyptians/ messed up a burial. So in a lot cases, it seems to be a bit more nuanced. There is absolutely trans/GNC erasure in Egyptian history though. Ever hear of her majesty the King, Pharaoh Hatshepsut? I certainly didn’t until I stumbled upon her a few months ago. I can’t remember her full story off the top of my head, but it’s really cool. She was one of Egypt’s best pharaohs, but insisted on taking male titles and wearing male clothes.

I try to stare him down, reassuring myself that he'd be an idiot to make a scene as it's too crowded. He comes right up to me as if to square me up, and then his frown softens and he says, "I'm sorry. I didn't realise."

Then when I started learning about all these different identities, I started looking into if I could be one of them (I think I was around early twenties). It wasn't until I stumbled upon the term demiwoman a couple years later that I felt a connection. However long it takes, you choose what you feel most comfortable with and don't let other people define it for you. It's YOUR body, YOU live in it, not anyone else.

As a post-menopausal woman I can assure you that facial hair is a perfectly normal female thing. I search out and pluck mine but I once went on holiday with a group that included a 60+ lady who sported a scanty beard of inch-long curly white hairs which she totally rocked with bright red lipstick. Hormones play by their own rules and no two people are the same except monozygotic twins, and even then environmental factors get in the way.

Somewhat similar to how the transphobes say, "You'll never be a real woman because you never experienced being a girl." OK, then, let kids socially transition, and go on puberty blockers, and then they can grow up as a girl. But no, transphobes don't want that, either.

The more I thought about it, though, the better being addressed that way felt. In retrospect I know it was gender euphoria while still being an egg. XD

Then are older sibling explained and she was just like "ooohh. Hello I'm Trans." It was kinda validating to she how she still felt the same despite not knowing the terms :)

Cis people are so full of opinions towards trans people. When I was tweeting my questioning journey I received a lot of "it's okay to be cis!", "we are good allys, the trans community needs it!" and dismissing the situations I related "Oh, I'm cis and I passed through this as well, it's okay, it don't means you aren't cis". It gave me a lot of impostor syndrome (and questioning being nonbinary has already a LOT of impostor syndrome to deal with). I know binary trans people gets a lot more to deal with, of course.

Seriously, allies need to learn rule number one: Allies STFU and sit TF down. That rule is made SPECIFICALLY for this kind of situation, when allies start talking over the actual minority they try to be allies to. Like we fuckin' know, Becky, that it's okay to be cis. Society grokkin' shoves cisheteronormativity down everyone's throats. Now shut tf up and let the gender-seeker seek in peace, gdi. (Allies can start talking when someone detransition to help keep that detrans peep away from the shitty gender-criticals who just use and exploit and recruit them into their little hatecult. THAT'S a place where the cis allies really should speak up more. Welcome one of yours back into your fold, guys, and call out anyone who invalidates that person. ESPECIALLY call out the "I told you you weren't trans and you were just doing it for attention" and the "you're a traitor to all the real trans people!" BS.)

Also, (I can't remember where I saw this, it may have been in one of Jamie's videos, but I'm not positive) there's a lot of focus on gender dysphoria and not on euphoria. EG I use she/they pronouns and I don't feel bad when people refer to me as a woman, but I get stupidly happy when someone refers to me in a gender neutral way or when enbys get casually included.

A few of these reminded me of stuff like back in 2013-2015, I lived in an apartment with some friends & I was still questioning a lot & one of them was like, “why don’t you talk to your mom about this stuff? She seems like a super understanding person who would get it & be able to help you.” I then just told her it’s not like that & didn’t bother explaining it because I didn’t know how to explain it but after time has passed, I realized the things I was afraid of with discussing it with her because of various things that happened, for example, she looked like she was about to have a heart attack when I ordered a binder & had it delivered to my parents’ place, she asked me what it was when I was opening it & I casually responded with “a binder” & god, I couldn’t tell what the hell that reaction was but it didn’t look good. I then pulled my CARD binder for placing Pokémon CARDS into & she took her hand off her chest & relaxed, even heard a sigh of relief come out of her but I pretended to not notice. Another thing is one of my sister’s biological siblings came out as trans. Both my sister & I were adopted from birth from different families, my sister’s biological family has reached out to her (mine hasn’t, unsure if they care to) & she has a mtf sister who did come out as trans & whenever the topic of biological families comes up in conversation which isn’t often but it does happen, my mom can’t stop talking about her sister & keeps using male pronouns when referring to her & she talks about it in a way that, hmm, how do I explain this? Ah! I have a friend who has cancer & whenever I talk about this friend like “yesterday she showed me a video of an otter” or something completely unrelated to the fact she has cancer, my mom will immediately go on asking about her condition & going on saying how it’s unfair someone as young as 30 would get cancer & blah blah blah. You know, the one relative that hyper focuses on a thing like that & won’t stop talking about it whenever the topic of that person comes up & mentions how they’re so brave & how life can be cruel? Yeah, that’s about the same for the trans sister. Another thing is when it comes to people she knows, she gets an idea of that person & who they are & is convinced they’re not any other way & hates being told she’s wrong. She also is closed minded & tends to see things more black & white like this thing is this way & to say it has qualities of this other thing would be contradictory like let’s say I came out as ace to her which I am, she’d be like “so you’ll never date ever?” What she wouldn’t get is the fact that I’m also panromantic, she just wouldn’t get it, I think the concept of bi people breaks her mind too. She thinks my bi best friend who is far more into women than men is straight because she married a man, my mom is that kind of person. So yeah, explaining my sexuality would be too difficult because my romantic interest doesn’t align & don’t even try explaining the fact I’m non-binary, she would not get it at all. My mom was always seen as the cool, understanding mom by my friends because they don’t know what she’s like behind closed doors, she’s the person who always use to give rides when growing up, would volunteer a lot at school, & back in the 2000’s when we were kids, she’d play whatever music was hot when my friends were in the car, you know, boy bands, Britney Spears, & stuff like that? She also had Grammy Nominee 2000 CD which has songs like Smooth, I need to Know, & Mambo Number 5 on it. The kids thought she was the cool mom but eh, she very much isn’t. Even as an adult she kept up the cool mom act & hey, a lot of it is genuine like when my roommate broke her foot, my mom did everything she could to help her out.
@nyandoesthings2 жыл бұрын
I had similar struggles with my mom, though there weren't any transgender people she talked about before I came out. Before I continue I want to say that I believe my case is the exception. My mom also can't handle being wrong. When I was a kid, like a lot of transgender people, I insisted I was a boy, called myself a boy, put things in my pants to act like I had a penis, even tried to pee standing up a few times. She told me that I was "a tomboy like her". And it faded off around age 8 because, that's just how it goes. I thought that if I told her I was transgender, she would be embarassed that I had been very clearly transgender all along. Thankfully though, she totally forgot about all of that. Like I said, she didn't talk much about transgender people before I came out, but the few times I had heard that it had been icky views. Again, luckily, it turns out that her icky views were just the only ones she felt she needed to express, and also after just a little bit of talking to she understood better (best example I have is her being against puberty blockers, but apparently she somehow got it into her head that puberty blockers meant all medical stuff for trans people, just for minors. Like she literally thought "a child is on puberty blockers" meant that they were getting a sex reassignment surgery, top surgery if the child was AFAB, and HRT. When she found out it wasn't, she was a lot more accepting of them) Finally, I cried when I came out to her. I also didn't have a name picked out and wasn't sure of what pronouns I wanted**, so I think it gave her a good adjustment period and my crying prompted her to really think about what she did about the situation. Since then she has taken what I tell her about trans issues to heart and has even seeked out trans media on her own (I know this because she made a joke about eggs, when I've never talked to her about that) **Bonus story: The reason why I came out so quickly is because I tried to come out to my grandmother as bisexual, I ended up getting shy and backing out, told myself I would come out next visit, and she straight up just fucking died before I saw her again. Then I found out I wasn't cis less than 6 months later and came out after less than a week because I never wanted that to happen again.

the meme about the chromosome reminds me of this hilarious classic children's book we have in Italy, Extraterrestrial exchange student by Pitzorno. this alien exchange student who grows in three years like a human does in one is like a ten year old human kid is but will only get a physical sex/a gender when they are fifty years old and in their reproductive age, as an adult. the only way to know their gender before is to sequence their genome or do whatever most complicated long genetic thing they could do since this book is from the 70s. The alien kid comes to Earth as an exchange student to live for a long time because of when the planets are close enough to travel, and goes to a family, a mum and dad with no kids and they have a full on existential crises because it takes months to sequence the genome like only one scientist on earth knows the alien genome and he was on holiday and they don't know the kid's gender. The point of this book is to show the toxic gender roles, oppression of women and mysoginy of the time and I didn't know it was that bad before I read it, what struck me the most is them allowing a boy toddler to hit and not a girl toddler causing constant crying and problems but there's lots of stuff. They end up deciding the alien is a boy and he mostly likes it except for being shocked at the violence of some kids and lack of communication and having to hide his dolls because they were going to throw them out, he's shocked by other men's behaviour like when there's an emergency and they are left alone with the baby and no one will take care of it but him but he can mostly do his thing, but when months later they get the test that it's a girl she really gets to see the differences and the oppression of women. it's really cool!

Speaking of liberal family members, my father tries to be supportive, but sometimes doesn't think about what he's saying. During one conversation, he told me, "Well don't change anything you plan on using later." I reminded him that I'm asexual, and I never wanted to have children. So then he responded, "But if you're asexual, why do you have to change anything at all?" I had to remind him that sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression are all different things. At least we're getting somewhere.

That Mickey/Donald comic should be the other way 'round! According to the folks writing the new version of Ducktales, Donald is canonically trans! He and his sister Della came from the same egg, therefore they're identical twins. Della is able to lay eggs (that's how we got Huey, Dewey, and Louie), and is therefore a cis female duck. As her identical twin that would mean Donald was AFAB; but he uses he/him pronouns, as do his family when addressing him. QED, Donald Duck is a trans dude! I love the new Ducktales so much! I'm sad that it's over. 😍😭

Have faith in yourself. You WILL get there. Do what you can to make yourself comfortable and make friends with your dysphoria. While I was waiting for top surgery every time I felt that dysphoric monkey on my back I did a few things. Acknowledged that it was there and that that is okay to feel that way. And then remind yourself that it's a sign that you are the gender you are. It's proof to yourself that you are trans and that's awesome. You have a super power. But with that super power comes growing pains. Dysphoria is a growing pain on the way to being able express yourself physically in a way that feels right. You'll get there.

I'm a trans woman so I don't know what the surgery options are like for trans men, but I've got nothing but good things to say about them on the hormones front. The only issue is that you pay full price for the prescriptions rather than standard NHS prices, but that's the cost of avoiding NHS wait times. I started mid pandemic and I'm not even on the waiting list for my local GIC (Leeds) because they've not been accepting new patients for almost 2 years now.

She's asked me a lot of advice regarding it because even though I'm like twenty or so years old her junior I have been transitioning for the past decade not always on HRT.

I've thought about how some Christians say "there are only 2 genders!" even though their God is genderless. They think he is a man though he isn't. The Bible and Qur'an (I don't know about the Torah) refer to him with masculine pronouns because 1. up until recently, he was the default pronoun, not they. and 2. the Arabic language (that the Qur'an is written in) does not have a gender neutral pronoun, so the default pronoun is masculine.

I am an artist and I drew a really nice and extremely detailed ink drawing of my [quite very] transphobic uncle's dog, who he absolutely adores, for my uncle on Christmas as a way to try and maybe shift his default view of me and bridge the gap. It worked! He was actually really confused at first, but he genuinely loved the drawing and put it up on his bedroom dresser, where it's been ever since. Now he uses my name and pronouns! He still doesn't quite understand it, and I'm sure he still has his biases at home (he's VERY hard to move, politically), but he puts the effort in around me and this has surprised everyone in my family and made me immensely happy.
