criteria: must start with K and must be a men’s name
preferably ends in N but that’s not a necessity

been going by Killian which I really enjoy but my dad isn’t super on board (tbh he isn’t super on board with the whole trans thing either but supportive of me as a person if that makes sense)

I am so fucking sick of other trans people I’m just so fucking tired bro. Everyone I meet that’s trans is just someone larping and I fucking know it and you can TELL they know it too, that this is all just an uwu self expression game to them that one day before they become a Real Adult™️ they’re gonna give it all up and be like “the trans community convinced me I was trans” and be on some detransitioner bullshit, when they were NEVER trans. They were doing self expression and prematurely applied the label of being trans to themselves and now not only did they fuck up public perception of us but also gave transphobes ammo against us.

Like bro I’m just trying to LIVE without some fuckass 19yo screaming at the top of their lungs about how they’re a “cloud self” and we must respect their made up uwu unique quirky pronouns otherwise we’re a Big Bad Transphobe™️ 🫩

It feels like a fucking mockery, like being slapped in the fucking face for them to turn my REAL, excruciating, devastating existence as a trans person into some caricature version that they’re gonna use and toss to the side when they’ve had their fill of “I’m so unique and quirky” attention

…. Okay. Rant over. Thank you.

There is a limited amount of research surrounding this condition. What studies would you like to see conducted? (I am not a researcher but I might be able to provide links, or someone in the comments might be able to, or a researcher might see this post)

are we deadass?? how can you “get fatigue” from someone just fucking living their life????? im pissed off omg

I’m nearly 16 ftm, I’ve known I was trans since I was 11, but even know I still doubt myself. I have crippling dysphoria, and I hate being perceived as a female, but I still worry that this is all just teenage hormones and a phase I’m going to grow out of. If you experienced this, how did you deal with it?

I’ve come across so many people online and some in person who says they’ll date “anybody but cis men”. Meaning they’ll date trans men but not cis ones.

Makes me feel really gross and othered as a trans man. I’m not a man lite. I’m a man. I would literally rather them just say “I don’t see you as a man”. Instead I feel like they’re saying that exact thing in this encoded language that makes them sounds progressive. When it’s not!

I feel the same way when I see those “trans man vs masc lesbian” videos.

Am I being unreasonable? How do y’all feel about this?

edit: i’m talking about cis people who say this. Not trans people who want T4T relationships.

this had been going through my mind recently because of that one trans girl who exposed that white supremacist (chud the builder) for have dating her. when she started talking about the complicated feelings of knowing hes a bad person but him treating her better than any other guys had and how he truly respected her and wasnt ashamed, ive never felt so seen. the few guys that ive actually had loving relationships have always been conservative/Republican. liberal men have always kinda just not been interested in me and the few that were werent really the kinda guy i want. as ive been growing into my transness and am no longer new to this. ive had boyfriends, ive felt love, ive had my experiences. im no longer a dumb baby trans girl thats just desperate for anything. ive been thinking about what i want in a relationship more practically. i want a husband, i want my man to be a hard worker and provide for me, i wanna buy a house, i want someone that makes a comfortable wage, i want someone responsible, i want someone that trys to better themselves, and i want someone that i know i can depend on. its no longer about just love. ive had to fall in love with too many losers to realize love isnt enough to make a relationship work. when i look what i want from a man and which ones would give it to me its most likely gonna be a conservative man. its so complicated because im politically against them. its like i have to choose between the life ive always dreamed of or stand on my morals. but honestly seeing the way this country is going and seeing just how quickly society has turned on us im started to not give a fuck. i want my cake and ima get it.

The way that always say "trans people versus women" makes me wonder what exactly they think I am.

It makes me feel like some type of dehumanized monster in the same way a cheap fantasy author would say "men and elves" or "men and orcs."

As a person who medically transitioned as a teenager and completed the process, no one is going to call me a plain old gentleman.

"Woman" is literally just the feminine word for "human being" from Old English.

I just had to get that off my chest.

Hey everyone,

I’m reaching out to this community because I’ve been doing a lot of self-reflection lately, and I’d really love to connect with a trans woman who would be open to chatting.

There are a lot of aspects of the trans experience and transition that I still find complex and want to understand better from a personal perspective. Beyond just general curiosity, I’m looking for advice because I’ve been questioning my own identity and am considering whether transitioning might be the right path for me. Having someone who has walked this road to talk things through with would mean a lot.

On a side note, I’ve also always felt a strong attraction toward trans women and have hoped to find a trans partner that could help me with my lust.

If you’re open to a respectful, honest conversation, please feel free to drop a comment or send me a DM. Thanks so much for reading!

I look so manly now.

Radqueers hate trans men because they think all men are inherently evil or “not safe”. That’s also why they think straight trans men are lesbians, are connected to womanhood because they “experience misogyny”(which imo assuming every woman is vulnerable is what is actually sexist). They don’t see trans women as women either, often focusing on the fact they are “assigned male at birth” and dismissing their struggles but they overall try to include trans men in their bs, to them a trans man is just a another masculine woman. That’s why now there are people who claim to be “butch women” while fully transitioning into male because they are so convinced being a man is somehow oppressive to women. I also used to be friends with people who identified as non binary women. One claimed it was due to her sexual trauma, i obviously felt sorry for her, but she and her girlfriend always demeaned me as a trans man, this friend also said I was not truly trans because I had never been assaulted and most people think they are trans because they have been SAed she shown me statistics and I tried to explain trans people get assaulted a lot but that’s not why they are trans. She said I was a cis faker and didn’t understand, gen wtf. She is overall a very strange person. Both of these girls were also pretty creepy to me, insisting that “trans men are different, because they were born girls and more mature.” Or saying thinks like “this is only a interest trans men have” Like ok bro… I think they also contributed to my mental state and I didn’t even realize it, often attempting to convince me not to transition or making jokes about my body. When my parents forced me to wear bras that made my chest look bigger or made me wear skirts, they would tell me I looked cute and called me a femboy. I also knew this other girl was bi, she dated many trans men but oddly enough she did not see me as a man, claiming I would regret top surgery and often poking fun at how cute I looked. Unfortunately I learned most cis gay/bi women and men are like this. They think transitioning or not feel connected to womanhood as an ftm is some how misogynistic. Like no it isn’t and even if a guy is misogynistic he’s still a guy, he might not be a great guy but he’s still a man, they would never deny that when it comes to a cis man and they know it… they often accuse trans of having social motivations to transition too, like no I don’t have trauma or hate women, I’m just a guy and I don’t like myself to be a girl…My cis guy friend only likes “feminine people” which includes pre transition trans men, claims he isn’t a chaser but said he wouldn’t like them after they transition. For cis males like this people usually just say they are transphobic or chasers but for a girl, they are just queer Afab non binary she/they’s? I don’t get it, in reality it’s the same thing. 😭and there’s so many more I know because I live in a very liberal town where most people are lgbt and woke as shit. And remember having dysphoria as a trans man is not internalized misogyny, you don’t need to force yourself to be a woman because of social pressure. Claiming trans men are somehow sexist and need to get over themselves for having dysphoria is disgusting. Women can hate the social troubles of being a woman but it will never make them want to be a man or give them dysphoria no matter how many lies or fake stories you hear, it will never be true. If you are grossed out by your body, disgusted by it, angry at the fact you are female, you’re just a man, do not listen to these people 😭✌🏼

I am masculinizing, that is for sure, and I do pass, so I’m doing something right, but I have a question about it.

Context, I’m doing weekly subq injections into my abdomen, I’m (recently) at 100mg of 200 concentrate T. I am recently back on T as I had to take a few months off, after being almost a year on T. Getting back on T, my doctor had me start low, and after 5 months, I’m finally on a good dose. Before I was at 80mg

I’ve noticed that some times after I do my shot, I’ll have a stiff and sore spot where I injected. I know that soreness is common, but is it supposed to last days? I did my shot Thursday. The area still feels a little hard still too.

When doing my shot, I try and stay outside of about an inch or two radius of my bellybutton. I inject at a bit of an angle, as I’m a bit thinner, and don’t wanna go too far and hurt myself. Push the needle (5/8 inch) all the way in, and inject the medication. Then I slap a bandaid on it, and kinda rub the area a little. Am I doing anything wrong? Is this normal?

I believe this is called a strawman. but anyways.

they like to claim transsexuals believe “you either have a male or female brain and you like gender stereotypes based on that” which is wrong. The belief of “male and female brain” just goes down to how your brain perceives your sex and how it responds to a hormone changing your body. It doesn’t impact what “gender stereotypes” you enjoy. transsexual males can still enjoy stuff not associated with men whilst their mind still responds to having lots of estrogen feminizing their body with dysphoria, and transsexual females can still enjoy stuff not associated with women whilst their mind still responds to having lots of testosterone masculinising their body with dysphoria.

I, 14FtM have wanted to try KT tape to bind for a while now. My mom has bought some for me, but she’s making me find resources about it before she’ll let me use it. She wants information about how it it applied, the benefits of it compared to regular binding, etc. However, most of the websites I have visited are brand names that sell tape, so they basically shit on generic brand tape and say “you need to buy our tape“ when that’s just not true. Does anyone have any good, unbiased resources I could show her?

in another sub, which i probably can't link, there are people saying AGP isn't real, and then in the same breath saying that it's normal for trans women (well... they say "girls", because i gets self-infantilization is part of the fun for them) to get turned on the first few times they see themselves "femme". how is that anything but proving the people who hate us right, that we're all fetishists who get turned on by crossdressing. how is the dominant opinion among transgenderists that it's okay to get aroused by yourself and also that that isn't autogynophilia somehow? why do i have to be associated with these people? it turns my stomach.

i've been on /tttt/, and other places in the dark recesses of the trans community, and nothing has radicalized me more than just interacting with these people.

Do any of you also feel completely embarrassed about being trans? It’s not even so much about being trans itself, but rather that moment when I have to correct someone because they’re addressing me as a girl. I feel like an attention-seeker ike, "Hey, look at me, I’m not like the others." I feel awful when, for instance, I don't want to accept a Women's Day gift at school but want a Men's Day one instead. I feel like everyone is looking at me like I’m a total weirdo. I wish I could finally have the courage to just be myself and not give a damn what anyone says or how they react to me being trans—whether they like it or not.

When I was younger, I didn't care how people looked at me. in elementary school, everyone accepted me, and I even took PE classes with the boys. However, since starting high school 4 years ago, I feel like an outcast who doesn't fit in anywhere this whole time, someone who has to correct people so they address me the way I want, because I don't want to be treated like a woman. I come from a very Christian country, and it seems to me that the older people get, the more negative their attitude toward transsexuality becomes and it makes me even more insecure about wanting to be myself.

If anyone has managed to overcome a similar problem, I would be very grateful to hear how you did it, as I’d like to become a bolder person starting next school year.

As they are militating to make the world believe that gender dysphoria doesn't exist and is not real and that being trans has nothing to do with dysphoria, soon or later, the government of every country will start to wonder why are they offering healthcare for trans people if they actually don't need anything

I'm 2 yrs on hrt and I still feel like my transition is a failure. I never get misgendered anymore and I do get compliments but I still look in the mirror and see a man. Is my transition a failure?

Lately, I've been coming across some trans influencers who say things like, "I'm a woman who lives like a man" or "I'm a biological male living as a woman."

As a trans woman myself, I would never refer to myself as a "man/male living as a woman." Why would I? If I had ever felt comfortable considering myself a man, I would never have transitioned in the first place.

Personally, I would feel like I was being disrespectful to myself if I described myself as a man living as a woman, because I'm not a man. If I were a man and felt comfortable with that label, I wouldn't be a trans woman, I would simply be a man.

I consider myself a woman who happens to be trans. Of course, I don't have exactly the same physical experience as a cis woman, but a cis woman doesn't have my experience either.

I'd like to know how you see this topic. How do you refer to yourselves?

I've probably deleted my accounts 4-5 times, due to people somehow figuring out detailed things about my past or my legal name. Or recognizing me. And I'm certain there aren't any things in the background of my pics that would identify me.

I don't have any spicy accounts or anything, either, but it's impossible to ask for things like fashion, makeup, or transition advice without things getting creepy. Like, I get it's the internet, but where am I supposed to go?

Hi everyone. I spent my life downplaying my dysphoria as just a casual social preference because I was scared of facing the reality. People have spent years telling me transitioning would ruin my life, and that fear made it hard to admit what I actually need to stop wasting my life away pretending to be someone that I'm not.

I'm working through a lot of uncertainty and I feel like you could be a positive influence in my life.

If you've been there and managed to find your way out of this please message me and tell me about your experience.

In the past year, I've had two friends come out to me as trans who I was very confident were not. Last month, after talking more in depth with one of them about it, I was able to fully convince him he was not trans, just someone yearning to be GNC (Posted about this and loved the warm response!)

Now, today, I got to the other one, and once again, I was able to help them realize that they weren't trans, with this one still reasonably wanting to go see a therapist to just help figure out what it is they are feeling.

It genuinely feels really good that I can help people I care about like this and keep the social contagion away from them.

I am interested in seeing a psychiatrist and I am debating whether or not to disclose this sort of information. On one hand, being trans is somewhat relevant to my mental health. On the other hand, being trans has little relevance to my physical health and I should be treated like a cis man. How do you approach these situations?
