There’s the nod down which is for men you dont know and the nod up for men you do know from my expierence
King of all crustations. Lord of all cowboys. Brother to all the transes.
There’s the nod down which is for men you dont know and the nod up for men you do know from my expierence
Something funny (and not funny) that happened to me is that someone who did not know I was trans thought I’d be transphobic because (presumably) I’m from the south and shared with me all of their shitty opinions on trans people in private thinking I’d agree with them
It’s interesting how both are oppressive in different ways
I mean it in the sense of being percieved as not-man, not nececarily trans.
i didn’t interpert it that way
i don’t think it’s objective fact but it does make me feel that way sometimes, yeah. Maybe it’s a cultural or age difference.
I shave my face for the peach fuzz every couple of days but I cleanse it beforehand. Ive been eating a bunch of sugar which probably isnt helping
That’s good advice
being clocked is when someone notices youre trans against your will
i don’t really care about the way it looks. Main thing is it’s occasionally painful which I don’t like
i definitely wouldn’t say that’s the primary motivation behind transphobes’ reasoning. In my expierence it’s the upsetting of an entire worldview they were raised in and what they were taught as the truth their whole lives being false. Hell, just even being unable to cope with nuance and gray areas in the natural world.
Body fat redistribution is also not going well
As a mod i see more things than most people do
Yup. I don’t feel comfortable using my one account where I am openly trans on any trans or queer non related communities because unfortunately transphobia is too rampant.
Awesome

You bring up a fine point, but I’m not gonna make him do that. That’s his decision to make.
Yup. There’s definitely a lot more inherent trust strangers have for you when perceived as a woman.
Maybe you’re right…still expierencing culture shock
