Despite all the memes, you guys are the truetrans. This community has:
>shit on theyfab/trender.
>Actual physical GD.
>Actually get on hrt and getting procedure.
>Self-loathing and actual suffering.

>>Self-loathing and actual suffering
People especially hate on 4tran for this shit, portrayals of being a tranny as anything but "le stunning and brave" is seen as bigotry.
Despite how insufferable this place can be, it's a breath of fresh air from shitholes that romanticize it.
>>
>>43258629
There is nothing romantic of actual suffering from a medical condition. Theyfabs don’t understand that it’s like disguising yourself as a handicap person next to someone who is in a wheelchair.

i'm the most ROGD faketrans autistic boy HSTS-larping agp to ever gaslight himself into thinking he ever stood a chance.
>>
>>43258397
There's no trutrans anymore. As best I can tell hsts act the most like women in that they pair with men and try to live a normal life. The trannies on this board are mostly AGP and bisexual with a preference for cis women and other fem partners which is fake as fuck incel larping as trans.
>>
>>43258774
I have preference for fem partners and cissoids which is why i should never ever have sex or be happy

>>43258397
This isn't all this board has. r/4tran does all this shit but is still a shitty fucking board because it's reddit. If anything their obsession with dooming and self loathing is annoying and obnoxious by comparison
>>
>>43258397
it's trivially simple to see how that isn't quite true tho, just looking at the demographic drift of the board
today u will have a boymoder or manmoder on a year of hrt scream they're trutrans and a girlmoder of 10-20 years is a trender
everything ends up performative when ppl think it's a purity test to fit in, even suffering, misery loves company, but if that's the measure of how true someone is then u have idiots performatively trying to prove they're the truest of them all
while also casually lowering the priority of the need to actually transition several places lower than things like keeping a job or respect from coworkers, friends, and family
the truth is that far fewer ppl here currently would be accepted as trutrans back then

You know, anon, it's possible to feel that you are real, and be real, without shitting on nonbinary people or making assumptions about them. That kind of crabs-in-a-bucket mentality used to be much less common in the trans community. back in the day we kind of all realized that we were in the same dumpster.

t. came out in 2004, transitioned in 2008

NTA but the issue we're not in the same bucket. Theyfabs aren't trans, not like I'm trans. And they're the ones running the trans shit and speaking for trans people and giving very very wrong information about my needs are and what I'm going through.

Not only do they seem to deliberately ignore the needs and struggles of genuine trans women, which are obviously a pretty big deal at the moment, they will invalidate trans men by forcing the AFAB non-binary label on them as part of their stupid feminazi nonsense, and then they will deliberately establish trans spaces that are seemingly deliberately hard for actual transgender people to access.

And don't even get me started on how neurodivergence interacts with this toxic mess.

We need better doctors
Affordable medical care
Better employment opportunities that will actually enable us to support ourselves.
Opportunities to socialize and meet other, not just trans people, but also dating opportunities.

What we get is lectures on gender theory, and drag queen trivia night at a crowded bar with no unisex toilets.

comment ended up way too long. also the first part

>And they're the ones running the trans shit and speaking for trans people and giving very very wrong information about my needs are and what I'm going through.
was the main culprit, so I cut it out.

>NTA but the issue we're not in the same bucket. Theyfabs aren't trans, not like I'm trans.

Even accepting these two supposedly distinct groups of people as they're laid out (which I don't fully), we are in the same bucket regardless. Their fate is tied up with ours, as evidenced by other people connecting them with us. Society decides who's in the bucket, not the minority. And binary dysphoric trans people have ALWAYS been in coalition with enbies (dysphoric or not), crossdressers, butches and drag queens, etc. That's a survival technique, not a hindrance. It means that when cis people, in bad faith, focus on and amplify the gender minorities that they find the most ridiculous or embarrassing, lying about our history and hinting that they would accept some of us if we yield to them and agree with their framing, we don't weaken ourselves again and again by doing it.

Sure. I used to do a lot of trans activist work IRL (campaigning for trans rights legislation, working at support groups and community centers, hotline work, educating school staff, etc). Many of the people I would credit with what legal rights and resources were gained, you would most certainly would not consider to be "real" trans people. Ditto the creation of health clinics and scientific research. Stuff that is relevant to you, to be clear, not only to nonbinary people or those without dysphoria. Gender fuckery and embarrassing weirdos all throughout.

That kind of work in fact tended to sort for people who did not identify as, eh, let's say sufferers of Harry Benjamin Syndrome (rather than primarily as trans men and women). those people went deep stealth, as was supposed to be the goal, and fucked off.

Anyway--

--I am very much in support of binary, dysphoric trans people helping each other and advocating for each other. It can even help you feel better yourself, about the reality we're in. Being politically active, volunteering at a hotline or a support space or something like that (even just asking an organization you like if they need volunteers), you can directly make a huge difference for someone else who is dysphoric. You don't have to, even if you can (this is not a "put up or shut up, stop complaining" kind of suggestion) but if you can, I encourage everyone to do that. it also helps you see the kind of coalition I am talking about. Other people really do care about you and your problems.

And that's the problem. Because these two groups, the group with the genuine medical needs based on the biological seperation of gender, and the group who doesn't believe in biological gender and just wants to fuck around, are not idiologically compatible, and the transmed needs are REALLY FUCKING URGENT and often getting actively harmed by people who oppose the gender queerist memelords (see trans exclusion in the Catholic Church).

What transmed people need to do is assert that we are something else, that we are not like them. That we need medical care, not rave parties.

And there's no coalition. Gender queerists are just as bad as TERFs when it comes to denying the existence of neurosex as the biological basis of gender.

>>43261948
You patting yourself on the back when in reality MOST trans women will never be able to afford surgeries is a big part of the problem.
