Need Advice or SupportEmotions
Lately I've been feeling ashamed of having intense emotions, especially because I work with men in more than one capacity and feel particularly self-conscious around appearing too "feminine" or "weak." I wholeheartedly disagree with all of that nonsense but I would love support from other women who understand what the patriarchy does to self-image.
I don't cry in front of people, ever, but I do get stressed out easily. More than once, I've been blamed for being "too emotional" or "overly sensitive," accusations with which I've dealt for my entire life. But I have multiple mental health issues, mostly due to experiences with child abuse. Right now I'm honestly just feeling extra on edge because I've had several weeks of relapsing into an old eating disorder.
I don't know what I'm looking for, but I would like to hear from others who consider themselves to be quite composed and intelligent most of the time but worry about coming off as "too emotional."
(For additional context: grew up with three brothers who were always allowed to show their feelings, while I was generally forbidden from the same or at least scolded for it.)
Yes. You're not biologically female. That's it that's the post.
A man with extra estrogen in his system is no more female than a female weightlifter who took steroids is male.
A male who inversed his dick and got his balls emptied out and sewn into faux labia is no more female than a male dog that's been neutered becoming a female dog because of it.
Humans can't change sex. Do a 23andme without telling them you're transgender (because you're skewing the results) and watch. Actually, do it twice. One saying you are transgender and one without (control).
The "tF" in "MtF" sure does a shit ton of heavy lifting.
HRT by definition changes your sex? Lol, right, then stop calling all those postmenopausal women who are on HRT "Karens" - they're not even female anymore, rofl.
This is beyond stupid.
I'm pretty sure a DNA test of a tiM would result in a reaction like "wtf is up with him?" And not "clearly female uwu"
If it changes your sex then what sex is it changed to? Sex is a reproductive role. Role in the same sense of heterotroph or autotroph, an evolved physical function. When a man takes estrogen and develops superficial female characteristics, his reproductive role (sex) doesn’t change. It’s like if I painted myself green and had leaves surgically attached to me because I would prefer to be an autotroph. That’s fine. I am allowed to mentally reject heterotrophy. But I will not be capable of photosynthesis. If a man decides to cut off his genitals and grow breasts and not father children, that’s fine (especially the not fathering children part). He mentally rejects his reproductive role. But he will not then have female reproductive abilities.
That’s a lot of words to say ‘lesbians have to sleep with me’, sir.
Sir,
No one is "biologically the same as the guy next to" them. You are, however, still a guy.
Well I suppose everyone's androgynous in the womb because of all the sex hormones in there during your development then. Gee whiz
Cross sex hormones are not HRT. And no one changes sex.
But, if the statement were true, then there will be much inevitable detransition when cross sex hormones must be stopped because of the life threatening medical risks. If he’s a ‘woman’ because of taking female hormones, it will be interesting to see if his bp becoming dangerously high + doctor saying no more automatically makes him a man again, huh?
No it doesn't, good sir. When I took it, it didn't make me more female. Now that I don't, it doesn't make me less female.
Literally yes. You are a man just like any other man, you just fucked up your hormone levels+ destroyed your health with wrong sex hormones and got castrated. You have XY chromosomes in every single cell in your body. Human beings cannot change sex.
You were male raised, male bred, and when the time comes you'll be male dead
