Trans Megathread for the Week of May 19th, 2025 to May 25th, 2025 - SeaBed (visual novel) + Handsome Girl and Crossdressing Boy (suggestive/R18+?) + BonnieBugsy's "Ranma Lazuli" fanfic series

Made this one somewhat last minute, but here goes- my reccomendations for this week are a yuri "mystery" VN that's near and dear to my heart (that goes into processing grief) though it's been a while since I last played it, and a cute and sloppy (not bad sloppy) manga about crossdressing (and if you ask me is honestly at least kinda genderfuckery).

I figured I'd also add BonnieBugsy's "Ranma Lazuli" fanfic series (available on Ao3) to make it a triple feature because why the hell not. The two fics I can recommend (not having completed the other large fic yet though I'm sure it would deserve equal recommendation) are pretty near and dear to me as well.

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.

Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.

Putting on my big girl pants and booking therapy with a trans therapist (which I'm obviously very grateful to have the privilege to access and afford such as thing)

Just wanted to let everyone know I'm a wienie uwu

kids these days need to stop playing starfield and need to start reading garfield

Just had a date with a really hot trans woman and

I was looking at the schematic for 410bdf's diy electrolysis thing and she used an LTC6993 pulse generator
it just tickled my brain for a few seconds

the realisation that i own not one but two barenaked ladies albums is depressing

People always seem horrified or act like I'm telling a joke when I tell them my age. What's the problem I made a pact with Satan in the middle ages to look 20 forever
Wear sunscreen

The weekly kagurabachi chapters are the one true shining light in my stagnant darkness covered life

So, my gal pal dug up this lesbian magazine from Weimar era Germany called Die Freundin ("the girl friend" or "the gal pal"). And it turns out it was trans inclusive and had articles written by trans women advocating for their liberation. The classified section had ads were women were looking for maid training or a puppygirl.
This was published in 1926.
THEY TOOK THIS FROM YOU
- Us puppygirls have always existed
  
  Not just that, you have also always been good girls
- Oh, of course conservatives temporarily banned it under the guise of protecting children even before the Nazis took over. Some things never change, huh?
- I would love you if you scanned this and shared it
  
  The Forum Queeres Archiv in Munich already beat me to it, they have scans of 194 issues: https://archiv.forummuenchen.org/zeitschrift/die-freundin/
  (anybody pls note that most of the covers are NSFW due to tasteful nudes of unbelievably hot 1920s lesbians)

Trans megas are such a wholesome window into the lives of people who aren’t very different from me. I’ve been socially isolated most of my life and have serious issues with not feeling connected to people, so reading updates about people’s lives like this is very helpful and makes me feel at least a little more connected to others. Just wanted to say thanks for that.
- Same

Got invited to the final stage of the interview for the trans clinic job (it's because of woke and DEI obviously)
This interview is with the person who'd actually be my boss, but I already interviewed the person who serves as her boss specifically.
Let's hope this goes well 😬
- Good luck!!

Sometimes people joke about trans affirming misogyny and I had that happen to me today and it still fucking sucked.
I was talking to someone in a professional capacity where at the barest minimum I was an equal peer in the field, and in some areas probably more experienced and essentially a guest presenting on my specific subject matter.
And I'm thinking "why is this old guy being so condescending, disrespectful and just outright critical? This has never happened before...oh...fuck you"
- Even though I knew it was going to happen, it actually shocked me how much less competent people assume you are. It was super apparent when I had a customer facing job that people respected me less and less as I got more feminine.
  Even this friend I've known for 5+ years pre-transition now wants to micromanage me every time I have a computer issue, he was never like that before.
  
  Tbh a lot of it even comes from people being supportive, too. A lot of it comes from inside the house, so to speak.
  Before I transitioned, people used to use all kinds of positive adjectives to describe me, but now the most common one I get is "pretty"
  Which would be cool if it were true, but there are other qualities to praise femmes for too.
- earlier this week i was excluded from a meeting where our dev team needed to explain a feature that i built to another team
- god I wish I was a man
  I really don't want to deal with the bullshit from being trans but even if I "pass" or whatever I still have to deal with that. ugh.
  
  I don't pass or dress feminine, I think this old guy just auto-sorted me into women by hair and breasts.

This is a super dumb question but does anyone know when I’m ‘allowed’ to start using he/they pronouns? Literally I have thought about using them solely out of a sense of curiosity and how I mesh with it, and I am not dysphoric about being a man.
Recently I met this masc leaning non-binary person I really vibe with and I can’t help but think “maybe I might have he/they as a better fit” but I don’t want to overstep any boundaries.
- I'll refer to you with they right now if you want
  
  Good job answering his question they should have the answer now I hope.
- if you want to, then you can. dysphoria is not a prerequisite. do what feels good to you, there are no rules saying it's not allowed.
- You're allowed to use whatever pronouns you want, ID as whatever gender you want, present however you want, etc. whenever you want
  
  ID as whatever gender you want *
  *Except any that's linked to specific cultural heritage or indigeneity if you're not a member, two spirit, fa'afafine etc
  Which of course most people are respectful of but worth mentioning.
- It is done!
- You can start using them right now! If you feel you need permission, heres your permission
- for me I started using different pronouns as I felt I was changing, I still remember when I used he/him and I don't regret it but it's like an old shirt that don't fit for me. I am a bit reluctant sharing they/them with people I don't know and neopronouns are even more private/experimental but yeah try it out.

hahah whoopsie. i might have accidentally gave some signals i didn't mean to to a friend of mine i'm not into and i think she just asked me out
hahaha oh fuck
- I'm sorry but I can't help but find it hilarious that a girl asked you out after you just made that post about how much you like men
  
  i mean i'm still very much bi
  but also FUCKING RIGHT????
  
  oh i don't know if i really like men that much anymore
  . i don't know if i really am all that into them. It sure would be terribly ironic right now should a strong yet gentle man ask me out out of nowhere. sure would be terribly ironic. yep. mmmmhmmmm

It's me, your mom. Don't forget to take your meds, sit up straight, eat your breakfast, stay hydrated, and brush your hair

A friend who I only hung out with when around my other, closer, friends is crashing out over me because I'm a "tankie" and because of a 6 year age gap with my new partner (proof that I am a goomer). In reality. Not online. This shit can't be real... Please God, destroy twitter. I'm begging you.

been stuck with this omnipresent anxiety over the last several months that something unimaginably bad is going to happen very soon now and I don't know what but I can't shake it
something bad and something global. idk what. national being trans ban? massive disease outbreak that makes covid look like the sniffles? super deadly heat wave? idk what but something very bad is going to happen very soon that will ruin or end my life and idk what anymore

Mfw I see the trans girlies sad posting:

Of course the person who unblurred captain disillusions number challenge thingy was a trans catgirl lol
They might as well make a tier for the trans catgirls to compete in and everyone else can compete in the second place tier
- :3

A trans guy named Guy
- Guy Chapman
  
  hunter the parenting reference?
  
  Too powerful
- A trans woman named Gal
  
  I knew a cis girl named Girl. So that one is on the table.

down with cis
- down with cis
  
  down with cis

It kinda crept up on me since it's probably a change that's happened over many months, but my waist is kinda snatched now. Last spring I didn't like the idea of wearing anything cropped because I thought it made me look a bit boxy and shapeless, but I've gone from disliking it to becoming more ambivalent last fall, and now I'm at a point where I think shorter tops look great on me
Estrogen my beloved.

I wish my existence wasn’t seen as an act of aggression against women
- I know what you mean, especially with the news and shit.
  For what it's worth, hegemonic patriarchy has a very specific view of Femininity. It's very white, it's tied to a specific body type, it's tied to all of our oppression as women. Some women practice lateral violence in the hopes that by fitting in to that system of oppression that they'll have a position of security in that hierarchy. Some just have internalized misogyny, some really are just haters and haven't done any self reflection about "We CaN aLwAyS tElL" also applies to all the ways they fail to achieve hegemonic feminity- which is intentionally (for a vague hand wavey sense of intention lol) impossible to actually achieve
  Some of these women are threatened by lesbians, by tom boys, by butch, by farm girl cis women who don't have time for lipstick or a husband after the last one died, some are threatened by women who either don't have children by choice or can't, etc. The list goes on, uniting all of those people with us in an understanding of inclusive and liberatory feminism threatens systems of control including some women who are at those controls

  Yes, absolutely this. Transfems are not where it'll stop. It's already affecting cis women who don't perfectly fit into the expected woman metrics. It'll more aggressively affect queer (sexuality) women next, women who aren't perfectly fem, of course can't forget racism against anything not in line with white, western femininity too.
  Unfortunately for us, transfems are just the easiest entry point right now.
- I know :/ I love women...

New girl I just invented:
Going to the lesbian bar holding a collar with a bell on it and shaking it to attract local petgirls in need
- going to the lesbian bar with a dog training clicker in your pocket that you occasionally use to see who looks up
- There should be a puppy girl 4 owner bar called "The Pound" or something
  
  and it would be the first bar I'd be excited to go to

Feeling kind of overdressed going to the grocery store in my ILA cosplay.

  nah, it was just a blouse, cardigan and skirt

Since transitioning cishet men have been acting weirder to me (except Noodle man who is an ally).
But cis women have been way nicer. Which I consider an absolute win.
Small touches on the arm in conversation, smiling small talk, and even walking closely past me rather than the 2m berth I'm now giving strange men.

thank you for posting this gay ass thread

planted a
berry bush today
- Took me a bit to register that as gooseberry instead of "honk" berry
  
  thanks for this i just thought they were yelling excited about the bush

Unfortunately, some of the site taglines aren't funny. They just make me go
- Some of these taglines require knowing the context in which they were said.
- And sometimes they are funny like this:
  Ugh growing up before buttplug tails were a thing I was like “yesssss, yesssss” then I made my own, only to find out that it just goes straight down unless my ass is in the air. So I made my ass in the air more. But still, it took some engineering before I could put one in my butt that hung from above my butt. Now you can fuckin buy em on wish. We live in a society
  but they still make me go
- I miss the lemmygrad ones, I much prefer the revolutionary quotes and excerpts from theory to the ironic meme shit or mocking things libs have said on here.
  
  Yeah, Hexbear could use some more theory in general.

I have a profile pic now.

It's my first measles kid today
Even stupider, they had a stem cell transplant which normally obligates them to get vaccinated after but apparently they were able to wiggle their way out if that.
Can't imagine the mental world and logic where you'd get IVIG, stem cell transplants, all these medications and procedures but skip out on a vaccination

Read 'My Lesbian Experience with Loneliness' and 'My Solo Exchange Diary' and there were so many
moments. I've had a vastly different life experience from the author and yet everything hits me emotionally so hard.
Coming to realize other people's struggles has kinda put into perspective that I'm not alone in my struggles of depression, and that even though it'd a long journey toward improvement, it still gets better. Just kinda forcing me to recognize that overcoming the struggles of depression is a long journey of ups and downs, but that in the end the trend line of happiness goes up over time.
Also forcing me to apply the kindness I do onto other to myself, of seeing myself and my struggles in such a close way to the author and it kinda clicking that I need to apply the kindness I do onto others to myself.
Like with these books, there were so many times of me recognizing the struggles of the author and seeing her overcome them, even with how cathartic it was, and then realizing how much that struggle to overcome depression and its eventual slow results applies to me too. These books have pushed me to try and be nicer to myself, even though its cathartic. Shit gets better, even though it may not feel like it in the moment.

Trans women are forced into unfair gender expectations, like being the terminally online one in the relationship.

Down with cisheteropatriarchy

5 more pounds and I'll hit my cycling down goal weight of 190!

T-Shirt ideas from this morning:
My body is a machine that turns noodles into breasts
I'm here to eat to eat noodles and grow breasts and I've eaten my noodles.
I ❤️ Noodles (and growing breasts)
- Mi Goreng Instant Tits
- You don't have to eat noodles to grow breasts here, but it helps!
  Kiss me I'm eating noodles and growing breasts.
  FBI. Female. Breast grower. Ingester of noodles.

Today, I spent extra time getting my hair as nicely as possible, and while holding my hair dryer against my head for 30 minutes was pretty boring, the end result were 100% worth the effort.
So I needed to go the pharmacy to get my meds, but when I stepped outside I noticed... It’s windy as fuck.
My cute curls were getting thrashed all around and I thought: "Welp, I guess all that effort was in vain. Going to be another bird’s nest day."
First thing the pharmacist said: "Hi, you have very beautiful hair."

And she wasn’t wrong. While they did get a bit messy, my curls still looked great. So heck, yeah! Gel-pilled girl keeps on winning.

Want to go to a local trans event but there is a trans woman who hates me that frequents there, such a pain in the ass to find irl social spaces to make friends
- Just go anyway. Just have fun and try not to engage with her.

my gender feels a little weird because though I feel like a binary trans woman with no doubt, I still feel like my gender has... idk how else to put it but "taster's notes" of maleness in there somewhere. Like I'm clearly a girl but there's a fairly noticable air of maleness in me like that coffee has taster's notes of raspberry. I joke around saying that I'm actually about 7% male which feel accurate
- me but with taster's notes of inanimate-object gender. could even make the comparison to coffee or wine and very accurately say im a bit 'earthy' haha
  
  real
- My gender is 51% slut and 49%
