This is not said with any kind of malice to the trans community, I respect my trans homies. But literally no one gives a shit about dudes.

    As a transfem person, you’re not that wrong. I’ve noticed much more caring from people after I transitioned. There are negative effects, but in general I’ve got much more positive attention than negative. People shouldn’t be prejudiced against cis men just because of their gender :(

      Did you notice you get more support from one sex over the other?

      I find it hard to believe that the average male would be more willing to care about a transperson’s feelings over another male’s. I can easily see the average female being the opposite, though.

      Listen, I am not trans; I don’t think I’d have the courage it takes. It’s definitely a very difficult path. The post was just meant to highlight that it’s hard to find someone that cares.

        You don’t become trans by transitioning. You become trans by your brain being exposed to to much of the wrong sex hormone during early foetal development. It causes the wiring in the brain to largely develope according to the opposite biological sex. By the time gonads are present all the hormones in the world aren’t going to change what is hard wired into the brain. So if someone who is for example genetically and phenotypically male has a female brain, and they choose not to medically transition it doesn’t mean they’re cisgender. It just means they’re sad.

        I mean, it’s not about difficulty, if you are trans, you find it more difficult to not transition than to transition, even though it involves pain and effort.

        If you want have the opposite sex’s body, if you would take that option if it was just a simple button press, then you are trans. It’s not about a choice or a ‘path’. Your comment seems a bit confusing on that.
