Transfems have a tendency to do that (myself included). There’s a few other shows I can think of where a character is somehow reincarnated into a girls body and are effectively made into transmasc characters, but its hard not to be jealous of them anyways despite their struggles with dysphoria that result from the sudden change. Granted, these are permanent reincarnations, not a temporary change, so temporary form changes map even worse to real life.

I’m curious about the authors who write these stories. Are they transfem eggs who want to effectively be forced femmed but don’t want to admit it (hence the characters expressing negative emotions towards the changes), are they actually transmasc and just expressing their feelings via a character who was forcibly feminized? Do they just find gender bending to be an interesting topic philosophically. Ranma 1/2’s author seems to be a cis female. Tanya and Wild Last Boss are written under a pseudonyms and I think their authors are pretty much unknown.

mfw ADHD stimulant meds and caffeine are diuretics.

Adding spiro to the mix makes it more fun!

Either I’m dehydrated or I’m peeing every 30-60minutes. Also, I should fill up my water…

My favorite anime from when I was “not trans” was Madoka, which not infrequently was shared in my facebook profile picture/cover photo as male characters of other shows wearing the outfits from Madoka. Certainly no deeper meaning to those crossovers pictures other than celebrating some of my favorite shows!

Ranma is not himself trans (he insists he’s a guy even when in female form)

Haven’t watched it yet. Still, an incongruence between body and mind seems like a defining feature of the gender dysphoria. Sounds pretty transmasc to me.

Protogen or synth fursona? Would be cool if it wasn’t a company that should be boycotted.

The person who I’ve most recently seen who likes gock has no problem expressing his love of men (and women) and penises in general, so he’s certainly not a closeted gay man. Their top preference just happens to be a mixture of features that typically belong to one sex or the other and trans women disproportionately fit the type at some point in their transitioning. But I don’t think they’re a chaser.

If they’re just normal about their interest in a certain type but still saw me as a human worthy of basic respect rather than just a sex toy, I wouldn’t personally call them a chaser.

Granted, I’m still early in my transition and don’t date (aroace), so I have limited experience with such and don’t have to to deal with partners who’d be disappointed if I did things like got bottom surgery, but would still be respectful about it. So my usage of the term may be different. But not sure if there are enough cis men in the world who are into gock are also respectful to make a meaningful differentiation from chasers.

My brain: “I probably misheard. I wonder what they actually said.”

No moms, I’m just taking hormones. I’m definitely not trans, I swear.

Well, that’s probably only true for some people and only for a certain period after coming out to yourself.

I’ve sorta experienced it long before I had any sort of egg cracking and it wasn’t even about the other person seeing me as a woman (so not misogyny) - I just felt that having such a experience made me better be able to relate to women and somehow for some reason that sorta compensated.

Agreed that it probably falls off as you either become more self-confident or get more regular external affirmations that aren’t awful.

Trans people making memes for other trans people are allowed to make jokes about their own experiences with ewphoria. Yes, misogyny is bad. Doesn’t mean sometimes people don’t have a conflicted enjoyment of it despite also hating it.

Would solve other problems too, like ctrl+pgup/down swapping tabs, but it also is used for things like changing spreadsheet tabs.

sadly it sometimes feels like you have to have a phd in biology and psychology just to justify your existence

I gave up before I even came out based on how my mom treats other trans people, so I never mentioned pronouns and the like (not technically true - I did ask for my mom not to use one masc term in particular and said he female equivalent was fine months before coming out - of course she didn’t take it seriously since she assumed I was cis). Anyways, like 10 months after coming out and like 15 months after I had asked her not to use it, my parents suddenly were making an effort to avoid that one term (and some others). It’s because my brother talked to them without me and as far as I know probably just told them it bothered me and perhaps explained why I had not said anything. Unfortunately, people can’t just magically have a third party to represent them that aren’t seen as biased by transphobes.

Didn’t want to be outside the other day because it was too hot and humid.

Agreed. But young me didn’t get that. Didn’t take long after starting E to internalize that magic is real.

Being disappointed as a child/adolescent as you accept magic isn’t real because that means you’d never just wake up one day suddenly a girl.

Tbf, I don’t think I thought it was a normal thought - it certainly wasn’t something I was about to tell others. I just thought my wish was impossible, so might as well just bury it. I didn’t know trans people existed or how medical transitioning worked.

I’m sure its just a “still cis tho” joke.

But was pretty surprised when my mom asked me like a year into me taking HRT if I knew HRT would change my body shape the way it did as if she had just learned about it and thought I would be surprised by the effects? Like… what did she think HRT was for? Since then, she’s seem a lot more interested taking T though.

Two years in and they’re still testing every 3 months? Is that just the norm there?

Honestly, its not that hard to get a legit prescription in some places. I just had a short online appointment to get mine, which I scheduled the night before (I also did have to get bloodwork, but that was for the spiro, not the E). I did clicked a box when I signed up for the appointment saying I was an NB, so maybe a man would have to click something other than man to get the prescription?

Might even have been easier than getting it diy.

I intentionally got an E prescription, but by the time the prescription was filled, dissociation made me feel like I was just a different person again and I was numb to the idea of taking them, so I was just taking it because the previous me thought I should. So I took it absentmindedly for a little bit (but that was only like days, not months).

Anyways, its 4chan, so obviously its fake and gay™.
