What do you legbutts make of this typecasting? Was she not a good actress, or was coming out career suicide in the 21st century?
being ~progressive~ is very popular right now, so casting a lesbian as a lesbian character is also super popular right now.
and guess who everyone thinks of when you say 'lesbian actor'?
>>5787349
jackie chan
She didn't just come out though. She made it a huge part of who she is. I can't even think of her without going "oh yeah the lesbian" She is a great actor, but she did it to herself.
All my fellow trans people, can we at least agree that SOME trans people are just fetishists who go too far?
I think people just don't want to admit it because they know that transphobic people will try to use it against all of us, but honestly I think it's more harmful to pretend that some of these people are legit trans.
yeah. there are some that fit blanchard''s expansion port
>>5786838
But why do you care about us? Why vilify us just because we are not TruTrans like you?
I deserve the access to hormones like the rest of you.
>>5786838
There are a lot of Hons wearing fishnets and talking about their fetishes all over the place. I don't think anyone here disagrees that there are AGP fetishists, just not that there are only AGP fetishists.
One of the prime examples is CWC who transitioned just so he/she could date lesbians.

There is nothing worse than being a unpassable manfaced hon with a repulsive dadbod. In dating websites it's almost an insult to label myself as a "woman" and I can't label myself as "transgender" either because most guys familiar with trans ppl expect me to be Sarina Valentina/Bailey Jay, not a younger Pierce Brosnan. If I was brave enough I would already kill myself like I should but I am not.
What age are you anon and when did you start your transition?
>>5786510
25. Started at 25 tbqh.
>>5786536
Until you're over a year on HRT I wouldn't do shiiit. I started the same age about 6 months ago, almost passing already.
That feel when you're living a completely aimless and boring life without friends or any real human contact, working a dead-end minimum wage job because you can't find anything better and you still live with your parents, and have lost all your motivation and drive and even interest in anything.
I'll never find anyone to be with because I'm such a shut-in, I'm ugly, and I have absolutely nothing to offer.
I need to just muster the courage and an hero.
>>5785067
At least you have a job. I haven't been able to find a stable one in two years. I feel like a huge loser for still depending completely on my parents at almost 22.
It doesn't surprise me that I am alone. I wouldn't date myself either.
>>5785080
I'd rather be a NEET than working minimum wage. There's no point in working if one makes such little money that one can't be independent anyways, or if the job is so dead-end there's no chance of ever moving up or learning valuable skills. And I have a university degree, but this minimum wage shit is all I could get, and even then, it took calling in favors...
I've begun to fantasize about an heroing a lot, the past few months. It just doesn't look like things are going to change....

So trans friends, how has your dating life been after your decision to transition?
Stories and experiences appreciated.
>>5784129
It taught me a valuable lesson. Gays are mentally unfit for long term relationships. Only casual sex.
I don't really date, I go from relationship into relationship. But I find that everyone I've been with has been a much easier relationship. Just being able to feel more open, and more like me really helps in finding the kind of people I like being with.
>>5784129
It has been non-existent, just like before.
At least I can be my own girlfriend now ^.^
Do I pass, /lgbt/?

>fishing for compliments when you obviously pass 100%
Seriously. Some of us hons have it bad enough without y'all rubbing it in our face that we'll never pass

I can't tell. I do get misgendered sometimes in public so I was wondering if I was hon or not.

Is Edie the most successful transgirl on here?
>Has had multiple bfs
>Runs a successful camgirl show
>Passes to a certain extent
>Has casual sex with all types of boys who hit up her holes
Is she as good as it gets?
>>5783671
I mean it depends on your definition of success?
If lots of male attention is yours then she is very sucessful
>>5783671
Pretty much, and even then she has a terrible personality. Bailey would probably have counted if she was still on /b/.
She also has a degree in medicine.
She got her MBBS with 1st class honors and is now doing her PhD in Applications of medical chemistry on terminal cancer patients. She's a true inspiration to all transgirls.
Can LGBT and the BLM movement make an alliance and form together as one?
Gay lives matter and black lives matter and I think it's time we add not only Pansexuals and Asexuals to LGBT but Black Lives Matter as well. The LGBT movement should fight for all disenfranchised peoples.
I propose we amend LGBT to be LGBTQQIAAPBLM

YOU DON'T KNOW ME.
YOU DON'T KNOW MY STRUGGLE
Is there really not a way to get softer skin, better fat distribution, not have male aging and shit without going full tranny? I don't want to get titties or fuck my dick up but i also really don't want to get bigger and rougher. I suppose there isn't since else femgen would just do that, but I guess asking is worth a try.
I also tried to see if there's a way to maybe keep T levels within normal but pretty low ranges (say, 200ng/dL) and E on high levels for a male but low for a female, but the E stuff and how it's measured is rather complicated for...

Stop being a pussy and become a girl. You can be on HRT and your dick still can work.
Titties can be removed surgically after five years. Some trans guys don't take T but get top surgery I don't see why mtfs can't do the same.
As for dick, out of luck there. No way to guarantee it'll work.
Women get a little rough when they age too if you take care of yourself its not so bad.
Fellow third worlders, how do you get by?

I'm more worried about being caught forever in a extremely low paying job with no chance for it to ever get better because we haven't had a decent economy for more than 50 years.
At least I don't have to worry about accidentally making a baby like all the straight people around me do it (multiple times) around here.
Yesterday I was in a conversation with various people involved in LGBT politics at my university, four cis women and two genderqueer transguys. They were talking about how it's disgusting that when people want to transition, they can't just go in and request hormones and start transitioning before having some sort of counselling/psychological assessment. They also said that someone who wants to have their womb/tits removed should just be able to get it done as a standard procedure, instead of having several meetings with health professionals beforehand to make sure...

>genderqueer transguys
Ignore the opinions of people like this no matter what they're talking about.
I live in the UK and it's like that here too.
I agree with the idea in principle. Ensuring that people have all the relevant info before making a life changing decision is very important.
However, if you can't afford private health care, it can take nearly 2 years to get through all the appointments with DRs to get the OK. For me it took 15 months from my referral before I had my first appointment with a GID specialist, and it will be another 8 months before my second which will give me a prescription for HRT to begin. They expect you to have been living...

I'm pretty much enamoured with the informed consent model of HRT that has gained traction in parts of the States. It ensures that the person is aware of the effects, risks, and consequences of hormones, but doesn't present a major barrier to treatment. The only improvement I would suggest is ALSO prescribing a therapist visit along with the hormones.
The model still in popular use (despite no longer being required or recommended by WPATH) involves at least three months of specialized therapy sessions...

Well /lgbt/, its late which means i get sad and introspective.
I've had this thought recently that maybe im addicted to hormones... I started them when i thought i was trans but it was like when they arrived being trans didnt seem like a big deal, i told my therapist i wasnt trans and i didnt need his help anymore, decided i was just gay, but that was 3/4 of a year ago and im still taking them
I just really like how they make me feel, mentally and physically, but i know i shouldnt and its crazy. Im cuter now and i get more attention from guys, i have little...
