Stockpiling estrogen as a cis person
Given the recent *waves hands* everything, I'd like to stockpile estrogen for those in need. Since it's an uncontrolled substance, my friend said I can ask my PCP about it. How would I go about doing that? I'm a 27 y/o healthy cis woman.

I'm in NYC, so I can't imagine I'd be my doctor's first patient to ask about HRT. What should my reasoning be? Am I allowed to just say, "I want to keep it on hand for anyone who needs it," or do I need to come up with a story?

EDIT: doesn’t matter if it’s estrogen or T, whatever’s easiest to get. I was talking to my friend earlier who’s a trans woman, so that’s where my mind was at

Nothing pertinent to add to this thread except to say your allyship gives hope to many who have none.

You, madam, are a fuxking diamond!

Better yet, why not give the trans people close to you the money they need to buy hormones?

Echoing the sentiments of others: You're an amazing human being and a ray of hope when things seem to be falling apart rather fast. I hope you get to do what you want to do.

I always gave away my extra estrogen. I saved a few people from running out. Sharing is caring, especially in these times. I didn’t even know these people I just gave them the meds. Online is how I found people to take it. Guarantee there’s some local trans women that need some help.

It depends on the form. Pills are the hardest to get and the most expensive.

Injected on the other hand, is much easier to get en masse. However, vials only last for a few years before expiring (pills likely expire also). However, injected estrogen is just made by taking powder, and putting it in an ester (aka oil). This powder, known as raws, lasts, to my knowledge, basically indefinitely. Thus, the most long lasting way would be the stockpile this powder.

But you face the issue of the process of actually constituting it into a usable formulation. A setup can be had for ~500$ on the low end, but it's an involved process. But, maybe you can just get some raws, and connect with someone local who has such a setup, or work with someone to set that up; since my assumption is you probably don't want to put the significant amount of time, effort, and materials, into doing it all yourself.

Here's a couple other topics of the week from the right sidebar so people can listen and learn:

Update: I made a post yesterday about going no contact with a brother I'm realizing is a Nazi. Please share no contact and awful family stories so I dont feel so alone.
Title says it all. I'm just now coming to this realization, and it's a lot. He was trying to indoctrinate me. He wanted to make a Nazi of me.

Spoiler: replies, including people who call their parents "birth giver" and "sperm contributor" (click to show)(click to hide)

When I first started my transition, I went quietly with no contact with my immediate family. I stayed this way for 2 years. At that point, I told them all I'm trans and all that.

I went no contact with my birth giver.

She was very problematic since my early childhood, but what made me choose this path was after grs when I was in hospital we called and she told my I will always be deadname and I can't change that, same with my gender I was born with she always will see this and not that I always was a women (at that time, now non binary).

Tried to explain things to her again and again and gave her one last chance on 31st December and called her together with my fiance.

She repeated this transphobic bullshit and then I just told her that I'm going no contact and this includes holidays and birthdays.

To this day I think it is the best, even when there are moments where I wish I had a mum.

Thank you for sharing. I can't imagine this situation with a birth giver.

Me being trans ruined Christmas. Or rather, their transphobia ruined Christ,as.

My narcissist aunt brought up JK Rowling over dessert and me and my mum ended up getting in a raging row with the entire family there. Total shitshow.

I haven't spoken to anybody in my family besides my little brother in almost 3 years (and I don't think they talk to him anymore). I don't even think they know that I left the US.

I went no contact with my brother who is also a nazi. We haven’t spoken since the 2024 election. He showed up to my mom’s birthday party earlier this year wearing a pro Trump anti trans shirt, and I left without saying a word. My parents had hoped we’d reconnect that day but it just solidified my stance.

No contact with my parents and 4 of my siblings. They don't accept me and also voted for dumpster fire in chief very publicly. I also had to cut off a best friend a few years ago for being zionist. Honestly? Fuck em all. They don't deserve me.

At this point I simply refuse to associate with anyone who still supports the Nazi MAGA Hate Cult. I've lost multiple friends and family, and my life is better without their toxicity. You're not alone.

My sperm contributor told my brothers and I when we were teenagers that if a f****t touched us, we were to break their arm. I left as soon as I could and didn't come out as trans until I was 26 and lived a 12 hour drive away from blood relatives. I gave them 7 years to adjust to my pronouns and chosen name, but after 7 years of being called their 'son' while actively transitioning medically and socially, I gave a kindly worded ultimatum.

I simply messaged my parents and both brothers leading up to Thanksgiving with, "I will not be traveling down for the holidays. My name is Cassie, and I am a woman. I know some people disagree with people being anything but cis and hetero-normative, but I am who I am. I request that all 4 of you all discuss this amongst yourselves when you feel up to it, and let me know if anyone still would like to be included in my life. No hard feelings either way."

Unfortunately, I didn't hear back until months of radio silence. My sperm contributor left a voicemail wherein he referred to me as my dead name and sex assigned at birth while yelling into the phone about how selfish I was being.

So anyway, I'm now 38 years old, 10 years into HRT, 13 months post "bottom surgery", and the last time I heard from my blood relatives was a random call 2 years ago when my sperm contributor passed away. In that same call, a relative informed me that my human incubator was diagnosed with rapid onset dementia and was on the verge of homelessness.

A thread from one of you, haha jk you don't have a girlfriend:

I have been dating my girlfriend for 5 years, and have lived together for over 4. I realized a year ago that im trans, and have been suppressing my dysphoria for most of my life (I am AMAB). I haven't come out to her, but i tried easing her into it today by discussing me dressing androgynously. She was on board with it, but she made me promise her that im not trans, saying, "I dont care if it makes me a bad person. I can't be with someone who wants to change their gender". It felt like a kick to the stomach. I feel sick and depressed, even more than before. I feel stuck and unsure of what to do. I hate that I have to choose between our relationship and me transitioning. I just want to die at this point.

Spoiler: replies (click to show)(click to hide)

It sucks to say, but she's not the one. Anyone who would actively try to repress you like that does not actually love and respect you. My advice to you is just break it off, having a gf is not worth fucking over your mental wellbeing.

I think she weaponized boundaries to try to control you. It's not your fault she didn't love you enough to accept you as you are. She should not have treated you the way she did. Let go of your regret, if you can. You'll find someone who really loves you.

It’s obviously okay to be a straight woman, but this kind of pressure and coercion is not okay. The wording “I don’t care if this makes me a bad person. I can’t be with someone who wants to change their gender” is really unnecessarily rough. No constructive communication has ever begun with “I don’t care if this makes me a bad person.”

Thinking her ‘pain’ has a leg to stand on is insane. ‘I don’t care if you have to repress yourself, I need you to play the role of a man.

She doesn’t care about OP’s humanity, she cares about having a heteronormative relationship.

I know it's painful and unfair and you don't want to give up or be alone. That's all valid and totally understandable.

But think about what kind of relationship you're worried about saving. She said it herself: She is a bad person.

You're not the one who is failing here. She is. You deserve to find someone who is actually good to you.

I was honest with my wife about my feelings from the time we started dating seriously. She was ok with it as long as it stayed in the bedroom. To keep her happy and preserve the relationship I went along with it.

But over the years, even in the bedroom was too much, so it was limited to special occasions like my birthday. Then that stopped also. I struggled. I started to realize that I wasn’t happy and never had been. I had just been wearing the mask of the “man” who was a good husband and father and never asked for anything in return.

26 years into our marriage I couldn’t contain it anymore. I accepted I was trans, found a therapist and a doctor, and started transitioning. My marriage ended as soon as physical changes started.

That sucks, but honestly, she's doing you a favor by giving you the reason to get out of the relationship now, before anybody really gets hurt.

And I think "I'm sorry, but I can't be with someone who's a bigot" is a perfectly valid response to that.

I would break up with her, because there’s no getting around someone controlling your life to this extreme. If she somehow stayed and asked you to ease in to it she’d ask you to drag out ever getting hrt by like 10 years, she’d tell you that you look bad in every fem outfit you ever tried, she’d cry guilt trip you in to stopping, etc. - in the end she’d leave more miserable than when you started.

But this is the one I was really interested in:

Some of my trans women friends are socially/emotionally stunted
*Please read this before continuing*: As a cis lesbian (23), the transgender community plays an extremely important role in my life as a queer person. I have surrounded myself with transgender friends, lovers, and creative partners for many years. I make it my job to love and protect trans women where I'm welcome and make myself scarce where I'm not. Please do not think this post is meant to be taken as any kind of disrespect or a blanket statement about all trans girls-- I was just wondering if maybe some of you had any personal thoughts to share. If I'm super off-base, kindly tell me to fuck off and I will. 💗

I've noticed a pattern among some -- if not most -- of the trans women I’m friends with. These women seem to be stuck in what I can only describe as some kind of state of arrested development. It sounds silly, but firstly, many of them are picky eaters, and have what could be considered "childish" palettes when it comes to food and drink. They almost always hang out with and form relationships with people younger than them (NOT to be interpreted as predatory behavior, I would never insinuate that), and tend to have "childish" interests. For example, I have not one but two trans women I’m very close to who are obsessed with collecting toys. I've also noticed that their perspectives on relationships and friendships are sometimes juvenile, and many conflicts between them play out similarly to how I remember High school/Middle school. I have trans friends ranging from 28 years old to almost 40 and a good amount of them seem to be growing through an early phase of girlhood, with interests and behavior typically associated with young(er) people, juvenile approaches to dating and sex, and difficulty getting along with people their own age. Even the way they only refer to themselves as "girls" and very rarely "women". I also know trans women who are absolutely not this way.

Have any of y'all noticed this playing out among your friends? Is it possible that they're making up for lost time (as women who didn't necessarily get to experience being young girls)? "Second puberty"? The stress and difficulty of transition and finding their confidence? Completely unrelated autism? All this is coming from a place of curiosity, not judgment. I love my trans friends and respect their interests and quirks.

Spoiler: replies (click to show)(click to hide)

Few things...

Quite a few trans people ARE in a state of arrested adolescence, trying to recreate or discover a girlhood or boyhood they never had whilst navigating the unresolved trauma of what they did.

Transition is expensive and trans people often marginalized, so quite a few might have had less access to the kind of counselling and talk therapy that so often makes for well rounded adults.

Trans people can often struggle to find stable partnerships or living situations and thus struggle to put down roots and discover themselves more thoroughly.

High overlap between neurodivergence and trans identities so that might explain some of the childish palettes or special interests.

End of day it's a community that has a lot of shared trauma and extra hurdles in life so it's not terribly surprising that a larger than average percentage of them are running behind. By being a stable, loving, safe friend and partner you help provide some of the grounding they need to eventually grow into the best versions of themselves. Which may still include toys and chicken nuggies 😉

As an addon to this, it’s really hard to catch ‘catch up’ on social development when you basically lost your childhood and adolescence.

When you and your peers are all roughly the same stage of development and are progressing together, social development and maturity largely just happens. But when you’re at a completely different stage to your peers, you’ve got no real idea how to progress or what direction to move in, you’re literally trying to learn a shared group dynamic, solo.

Add in trauma, second puberty, and mourning for lost time, and it can feel like you’ll catch up at all.

For me and a lot of my friends, it's like our lives didn't really start until we transitioned. Thus it's sort of like we experienced the starting gun on living our lives and growing up at a much older age. I find myself going through stages of social and emotional growth that a lot of people got to experience when they were younger.

The other side of the coin though is that I've seen lots of us handle things with a lot more emotional maturity than other groups of people. It takes a lot of reflecting and journeying and understanding ourself to get to the point where we can be ourselves.

In other words, a lot of us are speedrunning growing up but we're put a lot of work into being good at it.

I wouldn’t say trans women are “emotionally stunted.” In fact, I think their stage of development makes a lot of sense given the environments they’ve been forced to grow up and are living in—which are often shaped by deep marginalization, social exclusion, self-deprivation and trauma.

Comparing the development of trans women to that of more privileged cis people doesn’t acknowledge the vastly different conditions at play, and I think it risks reinforcing harmful narratives. Rather than pathologizing, a more supportive approach might be to ask: How can I better show up for my trans friends? That question opens the door to connection, empathy, and mutual growth.

I think you don't even remotely seem to grasp the anguish and emotional burden a precluded girlhood can bring about, and the various ways many of us seem to cope with this.

I held my breath when you started your investigation with "noticing a pattern", and you did not disappoint.

Ya know I appreciate you coming at this from a place of curiosity OP but please consider. If we were cis they'd only call us " Manic Pixie Dream Girls" and fetishize us for it. Hell some still do speaking from personal experience. My point is that we are living through an unprecedented hellscape and anything trans people can do to alleviate that ( that harms none) I say Huzzah.

Kindly, fuck off 🫶

Fuck off.

What stage of transition were these women in? I think that’s an important point the other comments don’t touch on.

When girls are first coming out, we’ll generally act more immature. Do our makeup poorly, have a goth phase, embrace feminine things we wanted as teenagers, dress overly sexual, date people way younger, etc. This is one part puberty and one part embracing the things we wanted to do but couldn’t. And some girls do get stuck in that phase for one reason or another.

But eventually most trans women get to a point that they catch up with their peers. You’re just less likely to see those trans women using queer spaces as a crutch. And you’re less likely to clock those women as trans. So I assume your sample is a bit biased by trans women who haven’t been out that long or haven’t progressed in their transitions the way they want to.

Just stop trying to make generalizations about the trans community 😅 I'm not going to give you more ammo for your assumptions 👍

If your question sounds offensive when you replace "trans" with "black" or "white", don't ask it at all!

I find cis people in general to be far more obsessed and stuck up about inane things, which I regard as peurile, really.

If you’re genuinely serious, take literally one psychology class and you’ll find your answers.

If you’re being transphobic and trying to be “quirky” and give yourself plausible deniability, then I hope you have the life you deserve.

Yeah I'm nearly 40 and with the exception of one friend my age, the rest are in their 20s. My boyfriend is 25 and he and I are definitely around the same maturity level.

When I stopped pretending to be a man at 30 it was like 13 year old me suddenly woke back up in an adult body and picked up where she had left off. Like I stopped working and had to be taken care of for a couple years because I quite literally had the mental and emotional functioning of a child. I got very lucky that I look 15 years younger than I am because I'm not sure my life could be as fulfilling if everyone could tell from looking at me that I am actually middle-aged instead of in my 20s.

This largely relates to what our society considers "childish". I have a lot of adult autistic cis women friends who got obsessed with Steven Universe, for example. Part of that is because we as a society are told we are supposed to abandon some things we find fun as we age, but autistic people just kind of ask, "Why?".

And that is a powerful "why?". Why should we restrict ourselves to completely different interests as we age? People who aren't autistic never seem to offer a good answer. It's just what society tells us to do.

This is largely because a lot of us didn't get to grow up. Our time growing up is often spent behind a masc, and when that mask comes off we have to learn a whole lot of missed lessons. That relates heavily to who we had to pretend to be: not all of us had a childhood in a proper sense at all.

Lastly, the reason we call HRT a second puberty is because it literally is. It means both feeling the liberation of being allowed to finally experience the puberty we were always meant to have

Throw in the fact we're going through puberty again, and the dissociative state we've been in as a result of dysphoria? Meeting with actually being able to feel emotions for the first time?

Most of us didn't get to be teenage girls/boys and that's an extremely important part in someone's life. A lot of us can revert back to there. I think its a way to kind of get to experience that, at least in part. I know sometimes I dress and do my makeup like it's 2006, and a friend of mine whose aunt didn't come out until she was 75 dresses like it's 1965. I think it's our way of trying to experience the things we'll never actually experience, a way to try and live the life we'll never have.

I know that's kind of a depressing way to look at it, but I wish I got to be a teenage girl, and I never will get to experience that, but I still want to experience some of it. This is also all going on while going through second puberty.

"Second puberty" is also -very real-. Many of us were dissociative before transition and were bad at handling emotions or simply didn't really have them much. Post transition it's like trying to ride a mechanical bull.. it takes us a bit to figure it out, and I suspect a lot of the trans woman in-fighting and drama comes from the same places it does with teenage girls. We're learning a whole new way to interact with each other. "Guy bonding" is like.. standing next to each other drinking a beer and saying "Yeup" while you stare at an El Camino. Female bonding is like piloting the Space Shuttle in comparison when you weren't raised doing it all the time.

I grew up convinced being serious and mature was so important I did sacrifice some of my childhood. But I don't think I am too juvenile if anything I overthink a lot. I dislike infantilization and have a constant feeling a need to own everything I do as my responsibility. I am trying to stay aware of others, trying to help out and think of what I can do to help others.

I prefer patience and not rushing or acting on emotions but it's not that I don't understand how others feel (even if I am realizing that recently found out autism basically shows me I always had trouble reading emotions, but we learn over time.)

But what I have noticed is and especially with a supportive and encouraging boyfriend I have felt safe to express more.. juvenile things. I started getting plushies again last year, started loving cute things.

Acting and being cute but not in exaggeration. Showing myself vulnerable, letting myself show that I am excited for things (got ridiculed and taught that excitement was bad) is all things I have slowly felt more comfortable incorporating in myself thanks to transition and social networks. I love having a ribbon in my hair, it's silly but so euphoric.

I agree with what a lot of comments are saying, and think the concept of "queer time" might be a really helpful framework for you. Basically, as queer people, we often don't get to hit the same milestones as our cishet counterparts. For trans people, that can include a lot of formative gendered childhood experiences. Can you imagine how you might be different if you had been denied access to girlhood and all the ways that molded your sense of relationships and identity? That takes time to heal, and it's hard to dedicate mental resources to that if you are struggling with mental health or the other types of social barriers trans people often face. Especially if you don't have the privilege of working with a therapist, there could be an appeal to seeking people in similar stages of life (even if they're younger), or in doing childlike things if you never had the freedom to experience them as a child.

While what Bramble-Bunny said is all very true, also consider: Would these things be weird for a dude to do? Eat like crap and collect toys and stuff, etc?
A lot of transfemmes (most, maybe?) have what I would call a "failed boy's upbringing." Like, they try to raise us as boys, it Doesn't Work, and we're kind left floundering. Once we get a footing, going for nostalgic stuff (the toys, etc.) is pretty common. I myself am getting back into Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy after like 15 years. (granted, at my school, KH fans were of all genders, but I was much more interested in slash speculation about OrgXIII with the girls than the boys talking about if Sora could beat up superman.)

We never had a childhood as us. We make the most of what we can when we are older.

I've tended to find it means that trans peeps are more fun and taken with more joie de vivre than our cis counterparts for the main part.

I personally wouldn't say trans people are immature. I would say that it's very common for cis people to have the joy, energy and drive sucked out of them by life in this capitalist hellscape and they wander around dejected, ignoring much of what goes on around them, consumed with constant seething anger at the injustice of the world.

Where some people might see immaturity, I see a desire to live unapologetically regardless of how society thinks.

Cos one thing is certain.... cis people care about what the establishment feels they should be and will obey that FAR more than trans people do.

It's why the establishment hates us and wants us dead.

Thinking her ‘pain’ has a leg to stand on is insane. ‘I don’t care if you have to repress yourself, I need you to play the role of a man.

She doesn’t care about OP’s humanity, she cares about having a heteronormative relationship.

I know it's painful and unfair and you don't want to give up or be alone. That's all valid and totally understandable.

But think about what kind of relationship you're worried about saving. She said it herself: She is a bad person.

You're not the one who is failing here. She is. You deserve to find someone who is actually good to you.

I was honest with my wife about my feelings from the time we started dating seriously. She was ok with it as long as it stayed in the bedroom. To keep her happy and preserve the relationship I went along with it.

But over the years, even in the bedroom was too much, so it was limited to special occasions like my birthday. Then that stopped also. I struggled. I started to realize that I wasn’t happy and never had been. I had just been wearing the mask of the “man” who was a good husband and father and never asked for anything in return.

26 years into our marriage I couldn’t contain it anymore. I accepted I was trans, found a therapist and a doctor, and started transitioning. My marriage ended as soon as physical changes started.

That sucks, but honestly, she's doing you a favor by giving you the reason to get out of the relationship now, before anybody really gets hurt.

And I think "I'm sorry, but I can't be with someone who's a bigot" is a perfectly valid response to that.

I would break up with her, because there’s no getting around someone controlling your life to this extreme. If she somehow stayed and asked you to ease in to it she’d ask you to drag out ever getting hrt by like 10 years, she’d tell you that you look bad in every fem outfit you ever tried, she’d cry guilt trip you in to stopping, etc. - in the end she’d leave more miserable than when you started.

But this is the one I was really interested in:

Some of my trans women friends are socially/emotionally stunted
*Please read this before continuing*: As a cis lesbian (23), the transgender community plays an extremely important role in my life as a queer person. I have surrounded myself with transgender friends, lovers, and creative partners for many years. I make it my job to love and protect trans women where I'm welcome and make myself scarce where I'm not. Please do not think this post is meant to be taken as any kind of disrespect or a blanket statement about all trans girls-- I was just wondering if maybe some of you had any personal thoughts to share. If I'm super off-base, kindly tell me to fuck off and I will. 💗

I've noticed a pattern among some -- if not most -- of the trans women I’m friends with. These women seem to be stuck in what I can only describe as some kind of state of arrested development. It sounds silly, but firstly, many of them are picky eaters, and have what could be considered "childish" palettes when it comes to food and drink. They almost always hang out with and form relationships with people younger than them (NOT to be interpreted as predatory behavior, I would never insinuate that), and tend to have "childish" interests. For example, I have not one but two trans women I’m very close to who are obsessed with collecting toys. I've also noticed that their perspectives on relationships and friendships are sometimes juvenile, and many conflicts between them play out similarly to how I remember High school/Middle school. I have trans friends ranging from 28 years old to almost 40 and a good amount of them seem to be growing through an early phase of girlhood, with interests and behavior typically associated with young(er) people, juvenile approaches to dating and sex, and difficulty getting along with people their own age. Even the way they only refer to themselves as "girls" and very rarely "women". I also know trans women who are absolutely not this way.

Have any of y'all noticed this playing out among your friends? Is it possible that they're making up for lost time (as women who didn't necessarily get to experience being young girls)? "Second puberty"? The stress and difficulty of transition and finding their confidence? Completely unrelated autism? All this is coming from a place of curiosity, not judgment. I love my trans friends and respect their interests and quirks.

Spoiler: replies (click to show)(click to hide)

Few things...

Quite a few trans people ARE in a state of arrested adolescence, trying to recreate or discover a girlhood or boyhood they never had whilst navigating the unresolved trauma of what they did.

Transition is expensive and trans people often marginalized, so quite a few might have had less access to the kind of counselling and talk therapy that so often makes for well rounded adults.

Trans people can often struggle to find stable partnerships or living situations and thus struggle to put down roots and discover themselves more thoroughly.

High overlap between neurodivergence and trans identities so that might explain some of the childish palettes or special interests.

End of day it's a community that has a lot of shared trauma and extra hurdles in life so it's not terribly surprising that a larger than average percentage of them are running behind. By being a stable, loving, safe friend and partner you help provide some of the grounding they need to eventually grow into the best versions of themselves. Which may still include toys and chicken nuggies 😉

As an addon to this, it’s really hard to catch ‘catch up’ on social development when you basically lost your childhood and adolescence.

When you and your peers are all roughly the same stage of development and are progressing together, social development and maturity largely just happens. But when you’re at a completely different stage to your peers, you’ve got no real idea how to progress or what direction to move in, you’re literally trying to learn a shared group dynamic, solo.

Add in trauma, second puberty, and mourning for lost time, and it can feel like you’ll catch up at all.

For me and a lot of my friends, it's like our lives didn't really start until we transitioned. Thus it's sort of like we experienced the starting gun on living our lives and growing up at a much older age. I find myself going through stages of social and emotional growth that a lot of people got to experience when they were younger.

The other side of the coin though is that I've seen lots of us handle things with a lot more emotional maturity than other groups of people. It takes a lot of reflecting and journeying and understanding ourself to get to the point where we can be ourselves.

In other words, a lot of us are speedrunning growing up but we're put a lot of work into being good at it.

I wouldn’t say trans women are “emotionally stunted.” In fact, I think their stage of development makes a lot of sense given the environments they’ve been forced to grow up and are living in—which are often shaped by deep marginalization, social exclusion, self-deprivation and trauma.

Comparing the development of trans women to that of more privileged cis people doesn’t acknowledge the vastly different conditions at play, and I think it risks reinforcing harmful narratives. Rather than pathologizing, a more supportive approach might be to ask: How can I better show up for my trans friends? That question opens the door to connection, empathy, and mutual growth.

I think you don't even remotely seem to grasp the anguish and emotional burden a precluded girlhood can bring about, and the various ways many of us seem to cope with this.

I held my breath when you started your investigation with "noticing a pattern", and you did not disappoint.

Ya know I appreciate you coming at this from a place of curiosity OP but please consider. If we were cis they'd only call us " Manic Pixie Dream Girls" and fetishize us for it. Hell some still do speaking from personal experience. My point is that we are living through an unprecedented hellscape and anything trans people can do to alleviate that ( that harms none) I say Huzzah.

Kindly, fuck off 🫶

Fuck off.

What stage of transition were these women in? I think that’s an important point the other comments don’t touch on.

When girls are first coming out, we’ll generally act more immature. Do our makeup poorly, have a goth phase, embrace feminine things we wanted as teenagers, dress overly sexual, date people way younger, etc. This is one part puberty and one part embracing the things we wanted to do but couldn’t. And some girls do get stuck in that phase for one reason or another.

But eventually most trans women get to a point that they catch up with their peers. You’re just less likely to see those trans women using queer spaces as a crutch. And you’re less likely to clock those women as trans. So I assume your sample is a bit biased by trans women who haven’t been out that long or haven’t progressed in their transitions the way they want to.

Just stop trying to make generalizations about the trans community 😅 I'm not going to give you more ammo for your assumptions 👍

If your question sounds offensive when you replace "trans" with "black" or "white", don't ask it at all!

I find cis people in general to be far more obsessed and stuck up about inane things, which I regard as peurile, really.

If you’re genuinely serious, take literally one psychology class and you’ll find your answers.

If you’re being transphobic and trying to be “quirky” and give yourself plausible deniability, then I hope you have the life you deserve.

Yeah I'm nearly 40 and with the exception of one friend my age, the rest are in their 20s. My boyfriend is 25 and he and I are definitely around the same maturity level.

When I stopped pretending to be a man at 30 it was like 13 year old me suddenly woke back up in an adult body and picked up where she had left off. Like I stopped working and had to be taken care of for a couple years because I quite literally had the mental and emotional functioning of a child. I got very lucky that I look 15 years younger than I am because I'm not sure my life could be as fulfilling if everyone could tell from looking at me that I am actually middle-aged instead of in my 20s.

This largely relates to what our society considers "childish". I have a lot of adult autistic cis women friends who got obsessed with Steven Universe, for example. Part of that is because we as a society are told we are supposed to abandon some things we find fun as we age, but autistic people just kind of ask, "Why?".

And that is a powerful "why?". Why should we restrict ourselves to completely different interests as we age? People who aren't autistic never seem to offer a good answer. It's just what society tells us to do.

This is largely because a lot of us didn't get to grow up. Our time growing up is often spent behind a masc, and when that mask comes off we have to learn a whole lot of missed lessons. That relates heavily to who we had to pretend to be: not all of us had a childhood in a proper sense at all.

Lastly, the reason we call HRT a second puberty is because it literally is. It means both feeling the liberation of being allowed to finally experience the puberty we were always meant to have

Throw in the fact we're going through puberty again, and the dissociative state we've been in as a result of dysphoria? Meeting with actually being able to feel emotions for the first time?

Most of us didn't get to be teenage girls/boys and that's an extremely important part in someone's life. A lot of us can revert back to there. I think its a way to kind of get to experience that, at least in part. I know sometimes I dress and do my makeup like it's 2006, and a friend of mine whose aunt didn't come out until she was 75 dresses like it's 1965. I think it's our way of trying to experience the things we'll never actually experience, a way to try and live the life we'll never have.

I know that's kind of a depressing way to look at it, but I wish I got to be a teenage girl, and I never will get to experience that, but I still want to experience some of it. This is also all going on while going through second puberty.

"Second puberty" is also -very real-. Many of us were dissociative before transition and were bad at handling emotions or simply didn't really have them much. Post transition it's like trying to ride a mechanical bull.. it takes us a bit to figure it out, and I suspect a lot of the trans woman in-fighting and drama comes from the same places it does with teenage girls. We're learning a whole new way to interact with each other. "Guy bonding" is like.. standing next to each other drinking a beer and saying "Yeup" while you stare at an El Camino. Female bonding is like piloting the Space Shuttle in comparison when you weren't raised doing it all the time.

I grew up convinced being serious and mature was so important I did sacrifice some of my childhood. But I don't think I am too juvenile if anything I overthink a lot. I dislike infantilization and have a constant feeling a need to own everything I do as my responsibility. I am trying to stay aware of others, trying to help out and think of what I can do to help others.

I prefer patience and not rushing or acting on emotions but it's not that I don't understand how others feel (even if I am realizing that recently found out autism basically shows me I always had trouble reading emotions, but we learn over time.)

But what I have noticed is and especially with a supportive and encouraging boyfriend I have felt safe to express more.. juvenile things. I started getting plushies again last year, started loving cute things.

Acting and being cute but not in exaggeration. Showing myself vulnerable, letting myself show that I am excited for things (got ridiculed and taught that excitement was bad) is all things I have slowly felt more comfortable incorporating in myself thanks to transition and social networks. I love having a ribbon in my hair, it's silly but so euphoric.

I agree with what a lot of comments are saying, and think the concept of "queer time" might be a really helpful framework for you. Basically, as queer people, we often don't get to hit the same milestones as our cishet counterparts. For trans people, that can include a lot of formative gendered childhood experiences. Can you imagine how you might be different if you had been denied access to girlhood and all the ways that molded your sense of relationships and identity? That takes time to heal, and it's hard to dedicate mental resources to that if you are struggling with mental health or the other types of social barriers trans people often face. Especially if you don't have the privilege of working with a therapist, there could be an appeal to seeking people in similar stages of life (even if they're younger), or in doing childlike things if you never had the freedom to experience them as a child.

While what Bramble-Bunny said is all very true, also consider: Would these things be weird for a dude to do? Eat like crap and collect toys and stuff, etc?
A lot of transfemmes (most, maybe?) have what I would call a "failed boy's upbringing." Like, they try to raise us as boys, it Doesn't Work, and we're kind left floundering. Once we get a footing, going for nostalgic stuff (the toys, etc.) is pretty common. I myself am getting back into Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy after like 15 years. (granted, at my school, KH fans were of all genders, but I was much more interested in slash speculation about OrgXIII with the girls than the boys talking about if Sora could beat up superman.)

We never had a childhood as us. We make the most of what we can when we are older.

I've tended to find it means that trans peeps are more fun and taken with more joie de vivre than our cis counterparts for the main part.

I personally wouldn't say trans people are immature. I would say that it's very common for cis people to have the joy, energy and drive sucked out of them by life in this capitalist hellscape and they wander around dejected, ignoring much of what goes on around them, consumed with constant seething anger at the injustice of the world.

Where some people might see immaturity, I see a desire to live unapologetically regardless of how society thinks.

Cos one thing is certain.... cis people care about what the establishment feels they should be and will obey that FAR more than trans people do.

It's why the establishment hates us and wants us dead.

I do think Sabrina is very smart, savvy and an expert at satire.

I hate the album cover.

I do sometimes wonder if she is working up to some exposé or takedown though....

If the entire Sabrina project is really about something else, or has another purpose.

Because some of her tropes can't be anything but satire.

And then who suddenly blows up with their fifth album? And gets Taylor Swift's producer (another very smart guy). And has a relationship that instantly spawns material and perfectly matches the album release cycle.

Is it all just good marketing?

Or is The Spinal Tap reference more apt than we know?

Decided to check on Mumsnet about this and came across this OP justifying the harassment and other harmful behaviour:

"From what I've read and seen on Tattle, it's no worse/different from the way people speak about celebs and sometimes to each other on mumsnet and other forums. There have been plenty of vicious threads on here about people. Tabloids have always trolled celebs too and they get away with it. Even posting unflattering photos with snidely headlines.

The only difference is tattle is mainly solely about discussing/criticising celebs/influencers.

A lot of influencers tell many lies and exploit their young children in order to sell crap to the public and people on tattle seem to call them out on their lies. Which I don't think is always a bad thing.

I don't really get the uproar about this particular website."

No, she just yet again wants to expose minorities to greater "community policing" from wannabe vigilantes. To demand individuals have to dox themselves to run a website, something that wouldn't be required for any corporation. Which will simply result in the formation of corporations owned by single individuals to operate websites like how NeoGAF LLC and ResetERA LLC were formed to put a layer between their owners and the website. (In the latter case, one partner buying out all the other partners so he could sell it to a larger corporation. After the community originally lied to itself that an LLC means no single person can own it.)

Iran is an authoritarian, inhumane, radi al-religious regime. Yes.

You state this while the US currently raids minorities illegally, its president is bombarding unilaterally a sovereign state and where christofascists are the second biggest political group of the biggest party.
The biggest domestic difference between both is the killing of protesters in Iran and I'm currently not sure if the US won't catch up to that in the coming months and years.
