https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/tomorrows-scotus-case-is-not-just>Tomorrow, oral arguments will be heard in two cases that could prove pivotal for transgender rights nationwide: West Virginia v. B.P.J. and Little v. Hecox. Both stem from state laws banning transgender athletes from participating in school sports—one at the high school level, the other at the collegiate level. In each case, lower courts blocked the bans, finding that they likely violate the 14th Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause as well as Title IX’s prohibition on sex discrimination in education. Now, those rulings are under direct threat. The cases have since been brought to the Supreme Court by Republican state attorneys general with backing from Alliance Defending Freedom, a central legal force behind Project 2025. While much of the early coverage has framed the Supreme Court’s review as narrowly about sports, the stakes are far higher: depending on how the Court rules, these cases could reshape the legal framework governing transgender rights for an entire generation.>Both cases involve transgender girls who participated in sports before being targeted by state bans, and in both instances, lower courts ruled that those bans were discriminatory. In B.P.J.’s case, she transitioned in the third grade and never went through male puberty. No athlete was cut from a team to accommodate her, and claims that she possessed a “biological advantage” stretch credulity. She initially competed in running events before later moving to shot put and discus, before her participation was ultimately barred by West Virginia state law. Lindsey Hecox, meanwhile, was a collegiate runner who complied with testosterone-suppression requirements. She was banned by Idaho state law. Hecox has since attempted to withdraw from the case due to sustained harassment but has not been permitted to do so.

>>42329889>>42329899Chuds only larp as caring for white men.We actually do serve a white man and that makes us and him feel great about it.I laugh internally at a chud-ish neighbor. He's increasingly lonely but always respectful to me. He brags online about how he can clock trannies but somehow he missed me so far.IRL chuds are sad pathetic losers who'd wish to have a loving tgirl as their wife or they're reppers.
For the last month all I could think about was the fact that I'm trans and to be honest sometimes I still think these are just some confusions but alas I somehow managed to repress it for 23 years and not realize despite being in a very queer friend group. I thought the depression I had randomly developed when I was 13 was genetics or bad luck or whatever but it makes so much sense. The intense hate and disgust I felt about my own body, the shame in the locker room, the uncomfortable feeling when I was in a cis male group. Heck I suddenly remembered how I pretended to be a girl online and tried on my mom's clothes when I was a kid.There are so many more things that were terrible in my life that are now explained but I thought that would at least give me some calm now that I have answers but nope. I'm so scared. Scared about what this means for my life, my relationships, my jobs, my degree etc. and worst of all: That hate I felt against my body, the fact that I found myself repulsive turned from sometimes crying in front of the mirror to thinking about it 24/7. When I walk past a mirror I actively avoid looking away as to not make me feel even worse. I never thought I had dysphoria but now it couldn't be any clearer. I hate this feeling, I hate this flesh prison and I hate how depressed I become even though I should be focusing on my exams right now.Luckily I have a therapist appointment soon but even if I get to convince him to get me started ASAP it will probably take up to a year before I can even get my hands on HRT. I have such an intense feeling of urgency suddenly. I feel like I'm watching my body change for the worse every day. I'm scared I'm already late but if I have to wait another year idk how I will cope. I will never be pretty or able to pass. I'll never be happy with myself. I know it's never late to transition and that's the mantra but that doesn't change the fact that I will always remain oddly shaped, clocky or just unhappy in my own body.
>>42329519Im sorry to say that taking care of your hair will not prevent mpb, but if you can diy order some dutasteride or finasteride it should save you temporarily if you start losing hairq
>>42329535ah ik i'm on minox already trying desperately to convince my derm to let me have fin. An anti androgen before being able to start HRT? Yes please immediately. He's telling me nah you might develop breast tissue like that's sth bad
>>42329513it's under $200/yr for crying out loud
get on DIY right the fuck now, it's dirt cheap
Look if there are informed consent clinics in ur area. I thought i was fucked myself but turns out hrt is like a month away at any given point.Still not on it bc i'm a repper but yeah.If you go to an informed consent clinic you can go straight to an endinocrinologist and then its just a matter of blood tests before you can troon
I need a trans gf who calls me a sweet boy and is proud of me and my achievements
>>42327438Oh I’m so stupid. Self taught, yeah sorry anon sometimes I’m silly like that
>>42327296What happened to your mommy?
>>42327456heh cutie>>42327446building your own gadgets is neat, proud of you
>>42327665I don’t want to talk about my mom >>42327833Thank you
>>42327665She is still alive
Is it bad that I'm actually not super into trannies, but I love how submissive and masochistic a bunch of them are?
What should be done about trans girls who have a micropenis?
>>42329041Small penis makes that impossible, Im sorry
>>42329041if you already know what you want, why are you asking us
>>42326934Pump up the penis with testosterone and grafts to create a fat cock tranny
>>42329041get one!
>>42329035based based based
been too fucking long dudesWhat do you look for in a trans woman, apart from her penis/willingness to top?
>>42329482bottom chasers are straight men though >:3 you're just angwy because we get to gluck on yummy gocks and you don't, loser >:(
You guys get a bad rep because of freaks on grindr that first message shit like "come fuck me while I wear my wife's clothing" just because they see a trans person
>>42327861True, bi tranny and I view bottom chasers as disposable pleasure. I want to emasculate pathetic fags and kick them to the curb once I'm done with them
>>42329531>come fuck me while I wear my wife's clothingwhat's wrong with that?
>>423300041. Infidelity2. dl3. Cross dressing4. My profile says I exclusively bottom5. Trying to live vicarious tranny fantasies throigh me instead of just transitioning6. Didnt try get to know me, Im straight but if I love someone I'll top them
I hate interacting with other trans people irl, I've never interacted with someone who transitioned as young as me, but every one I deal with i always feel like they're so dismissive of my dysphoria and any issues eith my body just because I'm smaller and it's super upsetting to be venting and basically get dismissed and told how lucky I am.
>>42329912Sounds like maybe you're just obnoxious and insecure
>>42329742i was thinking there was some hope for me :[ i hope everything goes well for u anon
>>42329963Being tall is fine if you look like a tall woman
>>42329912honestly it sounds like something to address in therapy, because it will ultimately come down to how you relate to your own body. by your own admission you are stealth so clearly you pass enough for cis people to pay no mind. i think this stretches into the boundaries of dysmorphia rather than just being dysphoria. i’m sorry, i know how it feels to hate your own body.
>>42329992You're probably right i am getting a new therapist because my surgeon for srs wants me to have one, I'm sure I'll mention this at some point with her. It's frustrating desu knowing from experience I pass but still having image issues even if they're far less than before I transitioned.

Coming to the painful conclusion that my BF will never be as authentic to me as I wish he were. I know I don't have the right to know everything. I am speaking up about being curious about his person in an entirety, anything and everything, and am never judgemental. He is what I consider the best partner I could possibly imagine. And I am radically communicative about my activities and thoughts with him myself, which he does appreciate a lot. Catching him doing things as small as they may be and him never mentioning it, even upon inquiry? Makes me feel like he is hiding more than I will ever know. I assume I need to let it go and accept the sadness this arises and concentrate on something more worthwhile than what might just be romantic fantasies.
>>42329624It does sound like you’re looking for a level of reassurance from your boyfriend that isn’t realistic. You should not rely on a partner to regulate your emotions. A lot of interpersonal advice will have you thinking that you can control other people’s behavior by acting right, but that can give you unrealistic expectations about what you can control and make you feel responsible for other people’s behavior.Maybe your boyfriend can’t reassure you as you want because no other person could, but maybe he’s making you worry for a reason. Either he’s just more emotionally distant than you want (very common in men) or he’s keeping something from you that he doesn’t feel like telling you because he knows it will upset you. Experience has taught me that it’s easy to expect too much from a partner, and that can cause problems, but also the people we date can have trouble communicating in a way that can make little problems way bigger and uglier than they need to be.
I'd like to troon out but given my faceshape i'll always be pretty ugly.I know its silly but i dont want to do it unless i have somewhat of a gurantee that i'll turn cute afterwards.
Is interracial gay rape an /lgbt/ issue?
It’s been 9 months and in the beginning, the thought of stopping HRT was scary because of how much progress I made over the years but as time has passed, I’m now developing an urge or feelings again that I felt before I started HRT; that are happening now. I need to know if this is possible to avoid and escape. I have Jesus in my life, I pray everyday, and I don’t present feminine anymore, I deleted all platforms that encourage femininity and influence, and i dropped supporting friends about it. If you have any supplements, strategies, sources, or anything that can help me rid of these feelings permanently.. I would be very grateful.
>>42324624I’m srry to be so indecisive here but I just feel like I hit a wall ):
Who here is a Christian transwoman? and if so, how long have you been transitioning and are you attractive and blend in with society?
>>42327354there are thousands, if not millions of Christian transwomen across the globe. OP is no different from them: they live their life with peace and joy now that they have accepted their true selves.
>>42324604>How can that be is what I’m getting at? :/ How can god be kind if he wouldn't be accepting of our own desires and free will?
>>42322549>god isn't real budDoes it matter if he is real or not? I'm an atheist and I understand God more clearly than most faithful do. I just don't agree with it. I don't need to have any crisis of faith over what God would want of me, which is utmost fealty and submission. It's pretty clear in that book he apocryphically wrote.
Any other trannies who can't function alone? Self-development, hobbies, self-care, all flies out the window without someone else
>>42328626well i mean how do you know you're gonna be functioning in a relationship if you haven't had one?personally i'm a mega c-ptsd superloser who thought i had no utility to anyone or anything and literally couldn't walk to a mailbox alone without crying (yes really and for years)... BUT THEN!!! my bff moved in and now we've been living together for like 12 years and she has a decent job and we both are living better than any other point in our lives and make art and music and stuff together and it's great most of the time.
>>42328668>it's great most of the time.how/when is it not great
>>42328728more of a complex question than you might imagine and something i think summing up might undermine the truth of by nature of raising more questions than it answers. there are really simple things like having to work a 9 to 5 never being ideal for anyone or health problems causing issues (i am partially disabled), and then there are more complicated things stemming from nuances of our dynamic that can result in arguments or worrying about failing ourselves or one another.the friction needed for a healthy relationship that helps promote the growth of both individuals isn't always plainly and obviously fun, though is frequently necessary for growth and provoking more meaningful interactions. some of the 'bad' parts are integral to the 'good' parts, so what i might complain about could also develop into a story about an important learning/bonding moment. neither of us are what the other wanted, romantically speaking - but what we thought we wanted out of a romantic relationship was driven by desire that had not been examined enough to realize our expectations and desires never equated to what another person actually is or offers. it's kind of like when you produce a track - no one actually imagines a full song and just goes about instrumenting it into reality, it's born from a lot of experimentation and experiences, and often the product of many happy accidents that maybe weren't immediately happy. we make better music together even though it is sometimes painful and confusing and we step on each others' toes or egos. i mean i feel like for emotional realization and general "quality of life," what's "not great" may actually be integral for developing and realizing what is 'ideal', which grows and changes every day. it's at its worst obviously when there is a lack of harmony following the friction - often when she has been depressive for too long a streak and i've become too high strung trying to help untangle it or motivate myself
>>42328631duh thats why u spam the board even tho everyone hates you
>>42328315this is me but im also too nervous and ashamed of myself to be in a relationship or even have friends a lot of the time so i just kind of do nothing by myself most of the time and wait to die
what to do if im a chaser but i dont actually like trans women, i like cis women, but because i am lonely and only ever talk to trannies here i fantasize about them
>>42328185ROK is too far away, m8
>>42328152>and did you get a bf after that?yes. But a few years in, not immediately.I love the results (and lowkey resent not having started earlier) but the process wasn't quite smooth, though smoother than the horror stories I sometimes read on this board.
>>42328152go after post op ones idk
>>42328185are you actually a korean tranny
>>42328095do i look female enough for you?
Why does my bf say I am cute when I am naked? I don't understand
>>42325797they were clearly asking op, are you retarded or trolling?
>>42325708He wants to put something in your butt.
>>42325708I tell girls they look so pretty when i look them in the eyes with my dick in their mouth, same concept probably
>>42325757op is probably actually ugly so she is confused
>>42329835Theres nothing confusing about it. Men will fuck anything no matter how ugly it is
