I have an old friend, that some time ago told be that he wants to change his gender. He is currently undergoing therapy. There is no hormones involved yet nor has he undergone surgery. He is also still legally a male, which is one of the reasons I describe him as he.
When thinking about the future you never know what will happen, but I am worried that for some weird reason that things will be very different. I've tried being supportive, but we've also had some major arguments, as we sometimes both don't understand each others viewpoints.
I need some...

Lol stock up on chocolate and know that the rational, logical part of their brain is going to fade away slowly. And stupid little shit will have some deeper meaningful connection that causes constant whining. Aka becoming female.
If you know that a 180lb linebacker is gonna ruin his life fucking around with hormones be honest. Sometimes some people should just deal with it with pills and booze.
Source. Me. I'm fucking toxic and hormones pushed me that way.

lol why do you care so much about your friend's sexuality

>sexuality = gender
Nice try
So where is LGB on all the civil rights violations? Where does our decades of soldiering and funding go? How long until they stop excluding Trans youth and homeless from LGBT shelters and services, while using untreated Trans death statistics as the LGBT risk for buzz and eyeballs?

I feel bad about this. Not all gays care but at least we don't work against T. Still, I get it. Try seeming straight and getting into a homeless shelter. They are all operated by feminist hambeasts and we nonflaming men murderpedoraep with our dicks dontcha know. So overthrow them and take back our various causes is my idea

The U.S. justice system is so fucking retarded.

this is why people want to put you in special camps, by the way.
So, given that many organizations and groups now use the term "gender" to refer to identity, let's discuss gender. How many genders do you think there are? Why?
Personally, I believe that there are only three genders: males, females, and those who possess masculine and feminine traits. Humans are often defined by submissive and dominant traits (see introvert v extrovert, judging v perceiving, etc. are good examples of humanity's split system), thus making it a polar system of gender, except for in cases of a mix between these two poles.

I see it more as a spectrum. People tend to be closer to one end of the spectrum but it is still a continuous range of femininity and masculinity
heres my 2 cents.
Gender is a spectrum, and anyone can identify where ever they see themselves in the spectrum.
when it comes to terminology for gender identification, there should only be 3 terms, for simplicity and sanity.
1) female
2) male
3) gender queer / non binary
terms like trigender demigirl pangender...etc, just split hairs and are redundant.
>>5260153
2, gender is binary you're either a male or a female, anything else is cringeworthy material.

Cool, and good luck!
Awesome!
Is social dys a good enough reason to HRT? I have never related to cis men on any level socially, favoring discussions about science and music as opposed to ones about beer and sex stories. Cis females are often surprised but relieved when I'm capable of not being a hound and actually have a personality that doesn't revolve around Jack Daniels or acting like Kevin James.
I fear men on a visceral level and prefer the company of females, even platonically over that of men.
I've really always felt like a black sheep due to my disinterest in sports,...

>Is social dys a good enough reason to HRT?
Probably not but you might have more than that going on under the surface honestly. Those are very superficial reasons, lots of guys have deeper interests and personalities than a stereotypical dudebro.
>>5259715
Do you really have to make a new thread? Post in the help general.
Anyways your reasons are legitimate, if having a manly body bothers you then you most definitely will not be happy when you grow older, talk with a therapist who specializes on gender issues if you're unsure, but if you want to just jump right into it you can try out HRT.
I just hope you understand you're hanging out with the wrong guys, my circle of friends are a split between guys and girls and they're all great.
>>5259724
It's just always pissed me off, like, a lot. I can't bond with males on most any level and never could really.
There are other aspects though. I've always worn more fem clothes that fit better as opposed to baggy bullshit. I just feel a sense of relief like I can just be me and not have to live up to a role if I at least take hrt to be more androgynous.
you know you're not supposed to put things in your butt, right?
but it feels good

What about suppositories?
There are people who get upset if they're not out having fun with their friends every single fucking friday. Here I am, 21, kissless, boyfriendless, I fucking hate humanity. Yet, I see people who have the gall to say "I haven't had a boyfriend in 3 months". Bullshit. These people know that they just want to say whatever they want, because they like sounding like they have a really good life. It's the same thing with people who say that they wish they could gain weight. It's like they don't respect the struggle that some people have to go to...

Hi /r9k/
>>5258082
That's alright, lump me in. I'm not even a human being.
ITT: I am a recluse wah wah wah!
Try getting outside. I find it hard to have sympathy for anon. When is the last time you did something outgoing and social? There is so much there for you in the world and here you are complaining about life.
Then again, I have only lived in major cities. But there's a will there's a way, or so they say.

>>5258043
I am. Not only is he straight but he's married, too. My plan is work my ass off and save every penny I can to fly myself to Asia and get surgery to look exactly like his wife. I'll eventually kill her and take her place
>>5258043
I haven't had this problem since high school. I don't really understand it. When I hear someone is straight something just clicks off in my brain. I mean I can find them attractive but I don't let myself crush/fall in love with them.

Hey there /lgbt/, MtF trans here. I want some advice on my dad.
The problem I'm having with him is that even though I've mostly transitioned, and present as a girl 24/7 now, he still calls me "he/him/his", still calls me by my old name, and still calls me his son.
When I was 9 years old I started getting depressed and acting out. He sent me to a therapist, and by 11 years old the therapist was sure I was trans. When I decided to tell my parents, the therapist had them all come in for a group meeting. Mom was in tears, dad simply looked at him and said " so what do we do? He needs hormones right? " .
Dad didn't feel comfortable medicating a child, so he had me put on blockers until I turned 16 and could choose for myself. I'm 22 now, I've almost completely transitioned, and he still won't acknowledge me.
Conversations about it go like this:
> I call you my son because your my son.
> Because that isn't your name.
> Because you aren't a woman.
> Look, you might be sick, but that doesn't mean I'm going to pander you. Would I pander a retard and tell it that it's a genius because of some crayon scribbles?
> You think you have it bad with me? First of all, my father was a racist. A hardcore Klansman. You don't know what bigotry is. I still did everything I could to love and respect that man.
> I got thrown out when I was 14. I lived on the streets for a long time and busted my ass to provide a life for my children without the hardships I faced.
> You've never wanted for anything. You've lived in luxury.
> As long as I live you'll never fear for being homeless or hungry.
> You don't get to choose me. I'm your father. I don't get to choose my son either.
> And that's what you are. You're my son.
> You might be broken. It doesn't mean I don't love you.
> A broken watch doesn't get to tell a tinker he is wrong though.
Honestly, I don't fucking get it. He's a good man, but he refuses to acknowledge me at all.
How can I get my dad to respect me /lgbt/?
>>5257833
You're the only person you can control. If he isn't willing to respect you now, nothing you can do is going to change that.
Tell him how it's going to be, and walk away if he won't get with the program.
>>5257833
Cut contact, and specify the reason for it.
He sounds like an asshole. Move out and don't bother unless he comes to you
Anyone else noticed this double standard?
>Sweden
>Doesn't have proper trans care, won't cover a full transition
>Mass immigration
>"We have to open our hearts to immigrants"
Then you start to discuss that trans care isn't covered, and that people are, and will continue, to die because they can't get the care they need. Several sources and world organizations agreeing on how a full transition is necessary...

I agree, they should stop being so open to mass immigration.
>>5256901
What parts of transition are not covered?
>>5256963
Facial surgeries, and I guess in some cases, bodily surgeries.
Then the greater issue is how teens aren't allowed to have HRT, I think you have to be really lucky to be allowed to have them even at 16.

Say it without shame OP. You're making him aware of a truth about yourself, don't be apologetic about it.
Good luck, how do you think it's going to go? What are you coming out as?
Why are bisexual and gay people so infatuated with oral sex while most straight people aren't?
Every bi girl or guy I've been with wants to go down on me, while most straight girls I've dated (N-Not many) thought it was gross.
>>5256081
I'd imagine it's because they aren't squeamish bitches
>>5256081
because straight is code for prude
>>5256081
Oral sex is more tender, like, instead of shoving my dick in your vag or shoving your dick up my ass, I am going to get up close and personal, with my face in your crotch, and focus on your pleasure instead of mine. Pretty romantic to me.
> tfw under your hormoned squishy skin is a man's skeleton
It's not like it's that different from a woman's skeleton. The only real difference is the pelvis.
And bone density.. and chromosome configuration. And a host of other things.
>>5256019
Ah yes, because we have to pass through bone density scanners to enter restrooms and other public accommodations.
Why are trannies so neurotic?
