Literally me the other day when I realized being trans had become the least of the problems in my life xD
except for shaving, that's still an issue and annoying AF
• Bigotry includes but is not limited to: ableism, casteism, homophobia, lookism, queerphobia, racism, sexism, transphobia, and xenophobia. Bigotry towards non-binary people is transphobia. Truscum rhetoric is also bigotry. You getting punished for your hateful opinion, however, is not bigotry.
• This includes both advertising and breaking your or my Lemmy instance's rules, such as vote manipulation or brigading.
• Try to stay away from negative political events too. You can joke about it, but bringing attention to something bad happening in the world might take someone out of their comfort zone— this is an escape from the constant news cycle for some.
• Selfies are not memes! This is not a community for selfies. Picrews and other character creations such as Sims and Mii's are considered bandwagoning, and perhaps can be a part of a different community.
• This is an all ages community, so we prefer it if you take the NSFW stuff to one of the more adult oriented communities. Note: nudity is not allowed, we want everybody to be comfortable here.
• We want everybody to feel safe and comfortable here, so even if you want to reclaim a pejorative word that applies to you— we ask that you don't, as this is a light-hearted community and others stumbling across your post might feel unsafe.
• If something breaks these rules, or this Lemmy instance's rules, please report it.
• Bigots like those do not deserve any attention. Any post or comment linking to a hate community or forum will be removed
• Be nice, and don't create social chaos. That's it. Pretty simple, huh?
• For example, a meme about the non-binary experience could have a title like this: "[NB] Story of my life!" This will make searching for content much easier.
• This includes the country you live in as well as the country your instance is hosted in
• Trans memes specifically about being closeted, unaware or in denial
• Ordinary memes, but the community is very trans-accepting— and it only has one rule: when you encounter the page you must post a meme from your camera roll

When you're not even trans and have been disassociating so hard
And then the voice says "you will never be a girl" and then stfu is promptly retorted
That voice has lost a lot of ground.
First it said "you're not trans."
Then it said "you're not a girl."
Then it resorted to saying "you'll never be able to transition!"
Now it can't do much beyond insult about me for not being pretty, which hurts, but isn't as terrible as denying who I am. It's just too obvious that trans women exist and I am definitely one of them. I'd have to somehow be fooled about my reactions to gender affirmation and invalidation, which would basically require god tier illusions or mind control. Reality would need to be called into question to argue against me just being trans.
"You'll never be pretty!"
"Shut up internalized misogyny! A woman's value is not in her appeal to the male gaze!"
I tell my trans sisters that a voice telling them they're not pretty enough should be gender euphoric, cuz all us cis ladies have that voice, too.
Yesss! I love that feeling ♥
best thing ever, even though I haven't started medically transitioning
