this is my biggest advice to all trannies of this board, based upon my observation of tranny behavior. please read, i think following these steps could improve your mental health by at least 150%>not everything needs a reactionthis is one of the biggest ones. you actually don't have to respond to anything online. you can just ignore people, especially if they're acting in bad faith. you aren't going to change their mind, if anything you're only going to reinforce their negative beliefs by stooping to their level. people thrive on attention, the biggest sting you can deliver to people being stupid to you is to ignore them >hatred is illogicalplaying off the first point: hatred does not exist by logic. you cannot explain someone out of hating trannies. there is no argument you can offer, no study you can link, nothing you can say that will make a transphobe suddenly just flip their script. you can talk about intersex people all you like, you can mention transness in history, none of it matters. once again, you're just going to reinforce their negative behavior by giving it attentioncontinued below
>>42102478>self hatred is poisoni know its hard to let go but hating yourself literally is just mental poison. it does literally nothing beneficial and is an active detriment toward your success in life. that hatred toward yourself will also spill out into hatred of other people, which will only force you further into isolation. you dont have to be totally in love with yourself, but at least respect yourself. you deserve to exist just like anyone else does, exactly as you are now. sure there's things you want to do, but just because you haven't done them doesn't mean you're some kinda evil person. some of you are going to get very mad reading this, and you are exactly the people i am talking to. stop beating yourself up for no reason, you're not helping anyone or making anything better and you don't deserve it either.>no one gives a shitthis is my biggest one by far. nobody gives a fucking shit. when you're out in public no one gives a fuck about you. believing every person you see on the street must hate you is pure narcissism, most people just want to get to where they're going. at the absolute worst they may think "oh that's a tranny" but most likely they're not even going to glance at you for longer than a split second and completely forget they saw you. most people have busy lives and they don't have time to spend obsessing over trannies. the unemployed chuddites and gincels of this board are the exception, and you arent often going to find them in public unless they're buying groceries with their mom.
>>42102478>>42102489>other people are not youi know this one is obvious but it needs to be said. other people are not you. other people do not spend nearly as much time with you as you spend with yourself. other people are not meticulously examining every single aspect of your appearance. other people usually just see you for a minute or two at most and they aren't going to waste their mental energy to analyze your entire body head to toe. most people have no idea what a bideltoid is or what facial planes are. and you know what? they're happier for it. being so obsessed with appearances is a clear indication of narcissism and is unhealthy
>>42102489>>no one gives a shitMaybe if you’re normal they don’t? People clearly give a shit, otherwise they wouldn’t obsess over ruining the lives of trannies. Most republicans feel at least some measure of disgust towards trans people and they make up half of the us. If they didn’t make up a big segment of the population, they wouldn’t be able to make such a big deal about it. You overestimate how kind and apathetic people are.
>>42102547here's some interesting facts for you>~60% of americans vote. that means just over half of all americans care enough about politics to go out and votenow lets continue>~20% of registered voters registered republicangiven the current breakdown, republicans make up ~10% of the total US population. of that ~10%, only a fraction of them care enough about "the issue" of transgender people enough for that to be a main motivator. most people just vote red because they ride party lines, or over immigration, or some other reason. once again, believing you're so special that you and your community alone (less than 2% of the total US population) influenced the US elections enough to cause Trump to win is pure narcissism.
>>42102547>>42102612oh i actually found the number~4% of polled voters indicated that policies attacking trans people primarily motivated their decision to vote for trump. now let's bare in mind this is still only accounting for those who did vote for trump. overall, the math shakes out to about 1.8% of the total US population caring enough about trannies to excplicitly vote trump for that reason.
you won't escape from me
>>42102538Good thread. I'll add:> a cute voice solves 90% of any potential public problems (which are already rare to begin with)You don't need to "it's ma'am" meme if you have a cute voice. And that's something under your control.> dress your age (casual is okay for anyone; you don't need to be a supermodel and you don't need to dress like a 12yo girl from 2011)> more make-up is worse than less (building on your point about bideltoid)t. older tranny
>>42102478Omggg, I put this image together like, years ago. Where did you find it?
>>42106357Oops. I meant to post this
>>42102538>>42102489>>42102478good post. some things i wish i could tell my younger self:>trans people are not responsible for the hate they receiveyou will learn this from doing everything right and still watching some people have viscerally negative reactions that are so disproportionate to anything you're actually doing. cis people who are uncomfortable with trannies are thinking "tranny", not differentiating between a typology of hons like this board suggests. this is a projection of tttt's own self-hatred. the reality is that many people are just ignorant and cruel. you will not earn their respect by trying harder, and you need to learn to let go.also>boymoding until you pass is a meme and a cope

I think many trannies see someone looking at them in public and assume they are thinking "tranny freak" but realistically they could be thinking any number of things: "that woman is very tall", "i have never seen a trans person before, cool", "that woman is very beautiful", etc. dont project your own negative thoughts onto others.
>>42106494that's pretty much the gist of what i was saying lol. you shouldnt assume other people are just thinking awful things about you all the time
>>42106397>>42106357i have a fart fetish, i think i saved it from some thread in trash
>>42106406>>boymoding until you pass is a meme and a copeit literally worked on me. Prevented my career from collapsing and made everything smoother.It may be a cope, but it's definitely not a meme.This board is infected with a crabs-in-the-bucket mentality. So many of y'all legit don't want trannies to win. To make it into normal life.And that makes me question the motives of some of you.t. older tranny
