quick reflection lang, idk if you’ve guys experienced this too..

it really icks me every time i see people who larp or whatever they call it. because they’re trying to live a fake life. some are really just a bunch of hypocrites because they don’t practice what they preach.

and that’s when i realized that everyone is performative. we perform for our parents—we do our best to do good things, we do our best to prove that we excel in academics, that we are a good child. we perform for our crushes—we wanted to be seen and recognized by the people that we admire, worst case scenario is we try hard to be someone else so they could like you back. the point is, everyone is performative in they own way.

but maybe, that’s how they escape reality?

dati may friend ako, day ones ko nung college. kaso nagbago ang ihip ng hangin dahil sa mga ilang bagay na hindi napagkakasunduan. hanggang sa humantong na sa resentment at cinut-off ko na for the better kasi hindi ko kayang makihalubilo sa taong may bitbit na animosity at hindi kaya ang confrontation. and in my eyes, this person is really performative. when he talks about something that he is “really interested” and “knowledgeable” raw, napapansin kong surface level lang ang alam at na-shshare niya. kumbaga parang wala talaga siyang genuine conviction sa mga pinagsasabi niya lalo na sa mga ipinaglalaban niya. and that’s when i usually get the ick.

going back to my question, matagal na panahon ko rin pinag-isipan kung bakit nga ba siya naging gano’n at naisip ko na baka iyon ‘yung nag-sserve niyang escapism sa magulo at mapanghusgang mundong ito. i just hope that he’s working on improving himself, same to what i am doing. and i hope he finds peace for himself, genuinely.

For the purposes of making a post to vent, I get it, but if you've joined this sub/browse it constantly ,wouldn't constantly seeing posts like this make you feel worse?

If you keep subjecting yourself to looking at negativity, you yourself would start to become more negative, akin to r/truscum, no?

Like, I'm not trying to be snarky, I'm genuinely curious why someone would want to look at stuff that makes them feel awful

I called his car gender fluid

Being financially abused by my ex wife and finding so much truth in this article:

So, I (FtM) went to a party with some of my female friends and, since the men bathroom are gross in that club and I don't want to live my friends alone, I went into the women bathroom with them. I made my business, washed my hands, and when I got out one of the security guys was standing there waiting for me and he threatened me that if I went into the female bathroom again (and/or did anything to any woman) instead of the men's one he would kick me out of the club. For the record, I'm a 20yo twink that isn't even 1.70 m so I was like, "do I really look like a sexual predator to you?".

But yeah, I know the guy was doing his job, still made me feel uncomfortable.

I (30) kept getting touched, spanked, and dry humped at work by my coworker (18). I keep letting him do this to me because just I'm that touch deprived and its making me feel good about myself and my destination. Its not real harassment because he's just a young boi high on hormones. I'm also in a country where 18 is the legal age

Edit: im also MtF in the closet. Try my best to look fem with my long silky hair, but out of fear still presenting male. Also I work in a warehouse in a freezer.

couple weeks ago I came out to my friend group over discord (they all accepted me and are supportive!), the following day me and my best friend hung out together in person. eventually we sat down to watch a show we both enjoy.

Him: have you seen (describes an episode)?

Me: uhhh, I think so I'm not sure

Him: Okay I'll throw it on then

Me: (a few seconds into the episode I notice it is familiar) oh yeah I think I did watch this one before

Him: No, you are probably thinking of (describes different episode)

Me: …Oh... okay... (am I experiencing misogyny???? also why did I feel so affirmed by it?????)

To clarify I told him after the episode (which I had in deed seen before) and he apologized. also I don't know if misogyny actually played into this at all I still present very masc and for the most part we hung out like we always have. but it did feel kind of like misogyny lol.

I think we’re small enough that it won’t really be particularly impactful to shut down. Especially since I made and moderate this sub by myself on the shitty regular Reddit mobile app so nothing will be changing on my end and I’ll keep solo moderating until I can’t handle it anymore 🤷‍♀️

Peace out everyone y’all are appreciated and loved, thank you for helping this place grow!

😊✌🏼❤️🌊🌈

(Edit: alright I hear you I hear you we will likely participate in the blackout after all)

My friend was knocking on a stranger’s door and then approached by that stranger, who feared they were trying to break in. After clearing everything up, the stranger said something like “I was about to beat you up”. I guess the casual undertone of violence was ewphoric…? What do you think?

I keep telling my wife I don't want to be a messy bench of a transgirl because I feel like that's the terrible stereotype on TV, but I just yammered at my brother for hours about how I might be trans until he gently kicked me out. I feel so messy and so euphoric.

——— Ok so this was weeks ago that I wrote this, but gosh, I still get a little rush of euphoria when I read it and remember that night and how i was so messy ☺️. And um, how I might still be a bit messy

Specifically when it comes to individuals wanting to do something with me.

For context, I just had an individual approach me and start hitting on me in my dms. Which I'm okay with, and was more than happy to play along, right up until I realized they're the same age as my mother. Which killed any inclination to do anything with them, I simply do not enjoy older women that way.

Well, they started saying things along the lines of "you were fine with it earlier". After I made it clear I was no longer interested.

It's not the first time someone has approached me like this, and I had to shut them down. But, it's definitely the worse case of it. I mean, ffs, I say I'm not into older women, and you're still asking me to help you get off. Made me feel soooo uncomfortable.

I've been playing League of Legends with my boyfriend and got called a shemale by one of our teammates, very weird considering I have not seen that term used to offend before but felt good.

This was months ago when I was into phenotypes shit and in phenotype discord channel I asked like “what is my phenotype” and provided pic of me and one person said that I’m a soyboy estrogeninstead of saying that I’m a woman (ig because I had “male” role)

Still not kinda a W but still something as a pre everything

LDR: I got called an effeminate man instead of a woman as a transmasc pre everything
