I'm a trans girl 🏳️⚧️ !!
I'm a trans girl 🏳️⚧️ !!
I've never really felt fully comfortable being open about myself on big platforms like Reddit, but on here it feels a lot safer, especially since adopting better digital hygiene.
So I'm just kinda saying it explicitly for the first time that I'm a trans girl. I like myself, I like my body, even if it's not perfect yet, and I like being pretty. I'm even slowly coming out more and more in real life too! Idk, everyone congratulate me or something haha
Things are hard, but I like how accepting the federated side of the internet has been so far to me.
Congratulations! 💐 Do you know how few people can say they like themselves and their bodies? Good for you for doing the hard work to be able to say that!
as long as you feel good and you love yourself that’s what matters, these are healthy thoughts.
Keep it up 😎
Congrats Kaityy, you go girl! No matter where your journey takes you and who you discovery yourself to be, I hope that you are always able to love yourself. When others are cruel, may you turn around and love them back with the same love we have for you. Life is a hard road, but feel the strength of every one of your grandmothers give you courage to lift your head up to face the new dawn. May all of their combined compassion, love, wisdom, and bravery be imbued in you, their newest daughter, and our newest sister, forever.
Welcome! 🥰
Congrats, I'm happy for you. Good luck on your journey.
So happy for you!
Seems like you got the identity part figured out. The hard part is getting to feel comfortable being yourself within your environment. This part of the internet is a safe place, but it also provides a false sense of security. Real life is where the real battle is, and a lot of us are probably going through the exact same thing where real life is either too scary or too unfriendly for you to feel comfortable as yourself right now. At least that's what it's like for me.
Digital hygiene is actually the reason I started a dedicated account here, to fully express myself on some topics that I might not want others digging through my post history for. Though the ultimate goal is no longer needing this account.
Spend as much time as you can doing stuff that makes you feel pretty. Everyone deserves to look in a mirror and to smile at their own reflection!
You go, girl! Congrats on coming out here! You are loved :)
I like myself
Congratulations at winning life. Happy for you.
Not just a trans girl but also just a girl!

What is digital hygiene?
I'm pretty sure she's talking about Information Security (IPSEC), Operation Security (OPSEC), and generally being privacy-conscious. So like, being careful about how much personal information you share, so as to protect against doxxing and other bad stuff.
I'm glad you found a safe space! Hopefully with time people in RL will accept you as well. If they don't then fuck them, they're not worth having in your life in the first place.
You can be a biologically-male woman all you want, that is your choice and your right, but you need to make sure not to give kids the wrong idea because they are young and impressionable and it could make them confused. Boys need to understand that they are not women and will never be women, their role isn't to bear children, it's to meet a woman and be the father of a child.
@marcie@lemmy.ml I got a gun just like. Cope, Seethe, and dilate, you libs haven't won the gun war yet.
Dude what is wrong with you?
If someone wants to transition then let them transition. It's not brainwashing children considering there's many people in their lives for them to look up to and make their own decisions based on.
Also, men have no obligations to be fathers, nor do women have any obligations to be mothers. People are allowed to be happy, and not act like animals, constantly breeding for the sake of continuing their lineage.
You're talking about convincing kids that they are girls just because they like to dress up, do you not see how fucked up that is? Really, honestly, if a kid liked playing dress up and would grow out of it but you coerced them into gender transitioning and they end up miserable and confused for the rest of their life, you don't see what's wrong with that? Really? WTF is wrong with you??
Yeah let's focus on trans people, and ignore all the religious bullshit we feed our kids, or all the violence we show them. Its mind boggling how Americans are afraid of some nudity, but simultaneously show kids cartoons where violence and murder are just normal.
I worry about the poor boys that don't like women and have an idiot like you as a parent.
I have a boy and trust me boys are not growing up thinking they are women. There are more people in jail/prison in the USA than there are trans people, so now all boys are growing up confused thinking they should be in prison?
Agreed on basically all points, but tbf there are more people imprisoned in the us than an awful lot of more popular categories than trans folks.
I see it a bit differently. I think your role in life is whatever you define it to be. Whatever makes you happy.
Would you say any infertile woman is not a woman? Did they fail life because of it? Would you say people that don’t want children are neither men nor women? Is there a difference between being female and male? Sure! But not being able to bear a child doesn’t disqualify you as a woman. Gender is just a construct society made up.
It’s good to question your identity, so you can be who you truly are.
Edit: No reply.. I was hoping for a good discussion, but I guess that’s out of the question as you did reply with insensitive and superficial comments to others 🤷♀️ You can do better
Oof your comment is wrong in sooooooo many dimensions
Nothing I said is in any way wrong my dear. A man's role isn't to bear children, it is to meet a woman and father a child with her. I don't know if you noticed but we aren't capable of bearing children, we're not seahorses, we're mammals, and in mammals the females bear the children. It's just basic biology my man 😎
Why would you feel the need to type that out in a tread where a woman is just trying to express feeling happy about something that has nothing to do with anyone else?
Ur such a troller
@sircalico@lemm.ee You got no arguments because you know it's true
Making entire account just to hate on other people looks like a very sad way to spend your time.
So what is your take on when someone with XX chromosomes experiences standard expression of FOXL-2 for part of the gestation, but stops functioning before finishing primary sexual characteristics?
How does that fit under a biological classification? Are they meant to bear children? Be a father? Will they ever be a boy? A woman?
Furthermore, are there other genes that inform your thesis to the above statements? How would their expression through developmental stages possibly affect the expressed sexual characteristics in both normal and impeded function?
I like myself, I like my body, even if it's not perfect yet, and I like being pretty.
What do you mean "yet"? You perfect the way you are. Don't try to be a girl. Don't try to be a trans-girl. Fuck labels. Just be Kaityy.
