• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

    Is it necessary for a trans* person to transition?

    because it's very obvious that they haven't. why does nobody here believe that there are actually people like this. BECAUSE CIS PEOPLE ARE 99%+ OF THE POPULATION this is a pokemon forum, not a queer/trans forum suddenly there seemed to be tonnes of non-cis people here one day. it just strikes...

    Is it necessary for a trans* person to transition?

    if you mean overnight you mean came across something that happened to explain what i thought was poor body image all my life, and people talking about their lives and having similar experiences to me, then spending the next /6 months/ obsessively researching testosterone effects, surgeries, how...

    Is it necessary for a trans* person to transition?

    i refuse to believe that you have not seen them because they are ALL OVER tumblr. to the point where i automatically assume someone is trans (or thinks they are) if they say they're male. and i'm usually right too. they're spreading into real life too, i know there's one in my hometown. there's...

    Is it necessary for a trans* person to transition?

    i will maybe attempt to reply to more of that post tomorrow since it's 2am now and the never ending exclamation marks are physically painful to read. however. cis IS the default. cis people are MORE than 99% of the ENTIRE population. people cannot just go "oh your baby was born with a penis...

    Is it necessary for a trans* person to transition?

    oh my fucking god you KNOW WHAT I MEANT and EVERYONE WHO CAN READ knows what i meant why make it into a huge deal also this explains pretty much my feelings on crossdressing and everthing if some people do get offended though, fine whatever but like does it /actually/ affect their lives?

    Is it necessary for a trans* person to transition?

    no crossdressing and being trans are absolutely not related at all and crossdressing really isn't offensive it's people dressing up as the opposite sex, for funsies not trying to live as the opposite (assigned) sex massive difference. it only gets offensive if people start saying they must be...

    Is it necessary for a trans* person to transition?

    there are people who think wearing men's clothes sometimes and wearing women's clothes sometimes makes you genderqueer/bigender there are (female born) people who think looking/sounding/acting as feminine as possible while just calling yourself male are breaking the gender binary there was...

    Is it necessary for a trans* person to transition?

    yes there is. it happens more often than you'd think. be on tumblr for 5 minutes, you will see this does happen. of course parents and actual adults don't think like this but so many people do and it's awful to see. one kid said they got "pressured by youtube" into taking t and they stopped and...

    Is it necessary for a trans* person to transition?

    ok i will /try/ to understand some of this. because like byrus said, pretty rambly and whatnot. do you know how common it is for women to feel like shit just for being women does that make all women who feel like that, trans? when i stop hearing about stupid little shits that go on T for...

    Is it necessary for a trans* person to transition?

    transgender and transsexual are the same thing. you can't change your gender since it's in your head, but you can change your body. i don't entirely know why transgender is used more often now. and i think the asterisk is meant to include non binaries and stuff as well but if it really does...

    Is it necessary for a trans* person to transition?

    why do social justice kids use y'all all the time it really bugs me especially because usually they're not from a place that uses it and the word folk oh god when brits use it it's just embarrassing also i never said people are being bullied for being cis or they hate all cis people. maybe you...

    Is it necessary for a trans* person to transition?

    ok you /cannot/ generalise all cis people and say something like you are allowed to be angry at them all because cis people are 99%+ of the entire population and many trans people look cis too because all they want to do is just blend in. so a lot of the time you can't even friggin tell if...

    Is it necessary for a trans* person to transition?

    hysterectomies aren't a trans thing though, women get them all the time. feminine men are still men. it's not nothing to do with how you act or dress or whatever it's with how you feel about your body. ok maybe i can understand not wanting some of the things you'd get from transitioning but...

    Is it necessary for a trans* person to transition?

    because it is that is the only symptom of it. that's called being cis. yes there are cis people who wish they had the other set of bits, but their lives aren't crippled by not having it. they're fine with the ones they have. trans people may be able to learn to cope with the bits they were...

    Is it necessary for a trans* person to transition?

    You can't be transgender/transsexual and love the body you were born into, that's a complete oxymoron. The entire point of being trans is dysphoria, so choosing not to transition because you're fine with your body makes no sense at all. That's called being cis. As for physical vs social...
