That’s why I call them farts (feminist appropriating radical transphobes) because terf isn’t accurate.

Femboys are valid

I get that. I left catholicism as a teen for a variety of reasons but one of the big ones was the bigoted views of other catholics. Leaving organized religion is a difficult thing, especially when you’ve grown up in it and many or all of the people close to you participate in it. It is completely normal to be worried about losing the acceptance of those people. I’ve gone through this twice, once when I left catholicism, and a second time when I came out as trans, and I can tell you that if the people close to you really do love you and appreciate you that they will come around eventually.

Also, with religion/spirituality, you really can just believe whatever you want, it doesn’t have to be in a book or followed by anyone else. Ultimately, it is your choice if you want to stay in catholicism, follow your own version of it, be an atheist, look into other existing religions, or have your own personal one.

My thoughts are that the first one is for BIPOC and one of the pinkish ones is for women. I have no idea what the other one is for.

Hey thanks! My reply to you somehow was posted twice, so if you see another in your inbox that’s why. I deleted this one just before you replied but the other is still up.

As a trans woman, I don’t see HRT being pushed as the only way to be trans. I think the vast majority of us recognize that there are many different paths people take. I have a friend who can’t take HRT because of blood clotting issues they have, and they are still 100% valid. Even if someone’s health doesn’t prevent them from taking HRT and they just don’t want it, they are still valid as well. The people saying that HRT is necessary to be trans are known as transmedicalists and they are cringe.

Edit: This got double posted somehow, so I deleted the first one.

Mine was in highschool, when I realized that I’m trans and therefore also lesbian. Well, at least that’s what I thought until I started HRT and began to find myself being attracted men as well and that I’m actually pan. Thinking back on it though, I think I found guys attractive years before I even realized that I’m trans and just didn’t accept it for some reason.

Two kids were playing catch with a milk carton to see who it would burst on. One kid missed and it hit me and burst. I was blamed for it and the teacher tried to make me clean it up no matter how much I explained that I didn’t do anything wrong. Fortunately, those two kids owned up to it and they cleaned it up but the teacher was super upset about it and still insisted it was my fault. Idk if she had some sort of vendetta against me or if she just couldn’t accept that she was wrong and doubled down.

I can’t see downvotes on my instance so for me it’s at about 600 instead.

I really appreciate this post. I’m sure it will help a lot of people get a better understanding of what an egg is and what is and isn’t appropriate.

I fully agree with you here. Maybe it would be better to try to make it clear that egg is only for self referential use, unless the word egg is too corrupted to fix, in which case a new term is probably needed.

Yeah calling other people eggs I don’t think is ever a good idea, since like you mentioned, whatever someone’s gender is, they are valid, and it is entirely their own decision. I don’t entirely agree with the person you replied to because being a femboy is perfectly valid and not at all a “terrible fate,” although as someone who calls their past self an egg, I sympathize with them to a degree because I feel like I can’t call my own self an egg. Idk, maybe a new word is needed because of the toxicity associated with the word egg, but I’m unsure that that would actually fix anything.

The whole egg discourse puts a bad taste in my mouth as well. I’ve referred to my past self as an egg and then had someone tell me to stop using that word because it’s groomer language. I’ve never violated the egg prime directive and never will, but I like using egg to describe my past self. However, now when I use the term I get worried because I just don’t want to deal with people who have a stick up their butt.

Edit: I made this comment not fully understanding the word egg and the discourse around it and I let my emotions take the lead, which I really shouldn’t have. I don’t agree with the person I replied to. All identities are valid, none are a terrible fate, and it is a person’s own decision as to what their gender is. People who say egg is groomer language when it’s being used to refer to oneself are just trolls or ignorant and should really just be avoided. Even when egg is being used against the prime directive, I don’t think it is productive discourse because it is just an accusation when they should have instead explained why the egg prime directive should never be violated, so I guess overall it’s best to just not engage. Moving forward, I will try my best to take time to think instead of immediately responding to my emotions.

It’s because they’re small-minded assholes. My paternal grandparents were republicans (they’re deceased now) and they, especially my grandma, loved to shit on anyone who wasn’t a white cishet “christian.” I’ve heard them say a lot of heinous things behind closed doors and I can tell you that when republicans say they vote red for the economy it is only because it isn’t socially acceptable for them to say the real reason why they vote red.

As someone in the US, I will be avoiding large US brands as much as possible as well. All the pain that nazi cockgoblin has and is going to cause makes me really sad.

I am one of those people who don’t study and I have a 3.9 GPA in college rn. It’s because the way schools test is extremely conducive to people with good memory. I can hold on to all the necessary information until the test date and then I forget it afterwards. The only notes I take are writing down formulas for math classes, although I wish I kept more notes because I find myself needing math for personal projects, but after the class is finished, I don’t really remember how to do the stuff I was taught and then I have to go relearn it on my own…

I mean, if I can physically observe it with touch and sight, then it’s not placebo.

While some people are saying placebo, I think otherwise. I had softer skin after a few days and at about 7 days I woke up with breast buds and I know for sure that that was not placebo. Some people develop rather quickly, others take a while, and both are normal. I was an early bloomer with my first puberty, but I have no idea if that has any correlation with my second or if it’s just coincidence.

Allons-y, repose dans la pisse !
