How Transphobes view Trans People in c/[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I also think the point here is considerably more nuanced than non-passing=bad.

I read it as a critique of how trans people are stereotyped as non-passing. The fact of the matter is, a lot of us do pass and go about our daily lives, and the average cis person doesn't even realize. We assimilate more often than most would admit.

So while I don't think there should be moral value to passing per se, I also think it's pretty fucked up the way we're all sort of stereotyped as being the most visible until proven otherwise...

Opinion: The U.S. actually has a huge trade surplus in services – that’s where Canada should hit in c/[email protected]

I think Canada, Mexico, & EU should coordinate so that a tariff on any of us is a tariff on all of us. Hit back dollar for dollar on any tariff affecting any of our economies.

Cross posting this here for visibility as it's easy to not see the edit. They are adding thoughts and resources to the post as they evolve so maybe keep an eye out for future edits.

I think the questions they have are very reasonable & they have welcomed cis people to discuss on the post (but not elsewhere on the subreddit)

I'm new to Lemmy and doing what I can. Long time member of the subreddit. Maybe some of you all are better than me at discussing these topics with them?

Thank you all for your help so far 🫶

Thanks so much! It's great to hear from you. I have a few concerns about some of the details of how that might work & could use your advice. I sent you a DM :)

Big changes! HRT and surgeries are often inflection points for breakups. Sounds like you’re on the right track. Breakups are hard during any time let alone during second puberty. Good luck 🫶

I remember that feeling so clearly. Mood boost is one of the earliest benefits of HRT, or at least it was for me. Congrats!

Also for what it's worth, I could never really date all that much before hormones. A month into HRT I had a cute little fling and later that year I met my boyfriend. 5 years and going strong.

Hi all,

I’m a Reddit refugee and I’m wondering if we could consider mirroring subs like r/Transgender_Surgeries, r/TransDIY and r/estrogel here (or if not maybe another instance)

If you’re not aware Reddit has made it clear they will probably deploy tools to shut these subreddits down in the nearish future. This has lead us to start looking elsewhere and personally I’m in favour of getting people into the fediverse.

It seems obvious to me the main issue we have with getting people onto the fediverse is momentum. In light of that do you think that we could mirror some of the content from those subs here? Maybe also if we have a bot like this one to seed the content https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/post/21662525

I for one would be happy to start encouraging people to move here by regularly posting my responses to people’s questions on here with info I know on Lemmy and then linking to my response in the subreddit so they take a peek.

I’ve been researching surgeries for well over half a decade by now and have some surgeries myself so I think people will come if people like me start putting valuable content here.

My issue here is I’m new to the fediverse and probably not the best to take something like this up. I also am working on learning how to set up my own server for the first time and ultimately help others in my network around the world do the same so idk if I’m the best to lead that type of initiative.

It does seem we need someone though and the leader of the Transgender_Surgeries subreddit is too burned out to migrate it (understandably so)
