Transgender vs Transexual for transfeminine people

What are your opinions on using transgender vs using transexual? Ive been seeing more trans feminine people use transexual to refer to themselves these days and I thought I had it figured out but im confused. Originally, how i saw it was transphobic dolls trying to distance themselves from the rest of the transgender community at large. But the more i read about trans theory and talk to trans women, im finding more and more "cool" trans women calling themselves transexuals. What am I missing?

Protest Marshals block wreckers from getting people arrested
  • One org in the sense that it was one planned event. Sorry its a coalition of groups that all got their own permits.

    Youre right, they should have made their own direct action facebook event and got their own permit if they wanted to do anything outside of those in charge. Turning people over to the cops is important because they didnt listen to the leaders of the coalition.

  • Are you saying that because one org got the permits no other groups are allowed to be there on the same day? Because then the best way to prevent any real action is to plan 'peaceful protests' at any event someone might want to do more at.

  • This was actually really disappointing. Sucks to see that people in neon vests will step in and shut anything down and work with cops if they feel uncomfortable. Sucks that during a protest to stop genocide, getting too close to a fence is too much. Really disappointed in US liberals pretending to be anything more than that.

  • What do we think of the YouTuber Sean Munger?

    I had a friend post his channel and say that he likes his content. I know that youtube history is often an alt right pipeline, so im wondering if anyone else has looked into this guy? I dont see anyone really calling him out online but he might just be not popular.

    I can watch the videos myself and come up with an opinion but theyre over 2 hours long so id rather not.

    My only yellow flag so far is that he has a book with 88 in the name. But thats not enough proof for me.

    Good ways of meeting new people?
  • Id say go to local events and talk to the people around you. I'm sure there are pro Palestinian rallies somewhere by you. I've met so many cool people just talking to the person standing next to me at a rally or march. Sometimes the main point of a "do nothing" protest is actually be a reason to bring like minded folks together.

  • How did you know if you were trans (or if you were cis)?
  • I agree with the sentiment in here of don't worry about labels too much. Just try out different stuff and play with it until you find what fits for you.

    Personally, I'm a 35 year old trans woman. When I was growing up trans women were only the butt of jokes in shows and movies. I didn't think people actually were trans so I wrote off a lot of my obvious feelings as "everyone feels this." I had a tough time identifying it because as I aged, masculinity didn't feel right but I'm autistic so nothing ever really felt right.

    It didn't all click for me until I was watching a trans youtuber's coming out video. I can't find the transcript for it, but the line that just SHOOK me was something along the lines of "I looked in the mirror and I saw myself aging into an old man and I was terrified". I had those feelings before and then the rest of her experience really clicked into place for me and all the egg-y shit I had felt and thought really came into focus. It took a while to actually publicly transition, but in the meantime I would dress in feminine clothes at home to try and find my style. And expressing my gender more just resonated deeply with me and I ended up having to publicly transition.

    As an aside, I think the book Whipping Girl really helped me understand my gender better, but that might just be because the author's experiences lined up with mine really well, my cis wife says it really helped with understanding her gender too.

  • You're right. I'm sorry, I'm sure the work you've done after while being committed to leftist ideals has outweighed all the crimes against humanity you either committed or enabled while you were enlisted. I'm sorry for implying that the data reflects that your personal story is an outlier when it is actually the norm and we have tons of ex military out here doing the work of undoing the harm they caused.

    Are there any cool queer/trans discord servers?

    I love playing videogames with people but the further I get in my transition, the less I have in common with my old friends. So I was wondering if there are cool public queer discord servers or is there a hexbear gaming discord? If not, would there be interest in that? I've played project zombie with a handful of hexbearers and it's been fun. I don't know if this is a weird question to ask.

    Does anyone know any cool wfh jobs?

    I'm looking for a job and have no idea where to look for some sort of data entry job. Everything I see comes across very scammy or extremely contested. I've been unable to find work for about 3 months now and I'm starting to think there aren't any work from home jobs out there at all.

    What's a low stakes conspiracy theory you believe?

    We've got a bunch of new people now so let's bring back a classic post. What low stakes conspiracy theory do you believe that you cannot prove but feels right to you?

    I'll start: I believe that dating apps have made a concerted effort to smear in person meeting people and tie it to being "creepy" through social media so you are forced to meet people online(which was the creepy option just 15 years ago)

    Trans fashion thread

    I don't know if it's possible because of the importance of opsec but would there be interest in a periodic outfit of the day thread? I've seen a few posts popping up and around that people don't know how to dress anymore and it might be a way to help.

    I'm hosting a project zomboid server with a few friends and would love if more people played. We use a bunch of mods so I recommend modchecker to see what mods to download. !cat-trans IP: 173.0.151.92 Port: 17100
