I feel like I have never had mead...where do you even get mead?

I do like beer as. I tend to like darker beers, or hoppy. I like IPAs too.

Wine is another one that I find myself sipping on.

What kind of beer? Ale? Stout?

What do you usually order in bars?

I usually go with Margaritas.

Do you have windows in your house? Are all your chairs gone?

A drink

Its been almost 3 years since my last haircut <_<

Watch on the WWE network for only $9.99!

I used to take wellbutrin, stopped after I quit smoking. I've had a couple different SSRI's. Rarely fun to come off of them. <3

Come on maggle!

These things happen, and there is no need to punish yourself further for what was probably a mixup or miscommunication.

Deep breaths, everything will work out. How can I help?

O NOES!?!?! I had no idea. Its funny because of your username too. No one likes Cole.

I posted noods on PotD a few years ago...or at least in a thong. I was promptly banned.

Starts in like an hour ^_^ i have prepared snacks and my spot has reach maximum comfy.

That is also true. Just like women can be sexist and people of color can be racist against darker skin.

We all have sets of bias based on our own experience. It is something that is difficult to self recognize, and fear of the unknown drives most people away.

This gay guy I use to work with once told me that trans people are just homosexuals in deep denial about their sexuality. A "Oh no, I couldn't possibly be gay. I was just born in the wrong body." idea.

Homosexuals can be transphobic as well. If you really think about any issues you have with the LGBTQ community, its probably not manly gay men or girly lesbians. Trans people were erased from the gay movement for a time, even though our visibility started it in many ways. Most homosexuals are cis as well, and can still have trans bias.

Mental health issues are quite stigmatized in the US. The brain is a part of the body that requires preventative and routine healthcare as well. Being trans isn't a mental illness on its own. They are just more prone to develop certain social and mood disorders in coping with social stigma and expectations. Not all trans people develop those mental issues. No one really experiences dysphoria the same way either. I cannot speak for all trans people any more than a single person can speak for all men or women, or all heterosexual people, or all white people or people of color. Humanity is diverse like that.

Does anyone think it's strange more people would castrate themselves than quit video games for 1 million dollars?

While that is unfortunately true, the frequencies of it happening are different based on race, gender, sexuality, age. Ect.. Trans people are denied services more than cis people. Trans people come in every race, age, gender and sexuality. Intersectionality is important.

Just imagine being denied treatment because your race. I am unsure of your specific ethnic background. Trans people are denied healthcare because they are trans however.

Just imagine the up roar if a hospital turned away a caucasian American for being white. "This doctor isn't familiar with white health issues". I'm sure you would say that would not be equal rights.

They cant even make mine bigger and you expect me to believe this?

They can make it bigger though...you would probably lose some feeling and maybe some skin off somewhere else, but they can make it bigger. Would that make you more of a man?

Yeah those horribly unsafe surgeries that give you like an extra inch or two

So you would not do it because you are content with both your genitalia and your gender? Not worth the risk for you...so can't be worth it to someone else.

Have you had chromosomes tested? How do you know you have a Y?

Darling. I am just warming up, and I can go all night. :3 Trans women are women. so finding a particularly fem person attractive isn't really gay. Not that there is anything wrong with being gay either.

Slaves were not known for being treated humanely...

No trans people do not have equal rights. Can you. Be fired or evicted because you are a man? Do doctors refuse to treat you because if your race? All of these things can happen to trans people around the world simply because they are trans.

Bernie...hypothetical. You lose your penis in an "unfortunate" accident, and is none recoverable.

Are you still a man?

Also, some of you may be interested to know that there are in fact bottom affirming surgeries that produce self lubricating vaginas with depth with minimal dilation. Just takes a while to heal. Honestly though, I've found other people have more of an issue with my body than I do.

Its not your thing, whatever. I really doubt anyone is lining up to sleep with you, probably the sense of warmth and acceptance you project.

Girl, I have never even been on tumblr. What is that?

On topic, you all would be so lucky to sleep with a trans woman. Just like any other woman. Sorry it makes you question your delicate sense of masculinity and sexuality. Some of you probably watch trans porn and your ashamed of it. You shouldn't be. You can be a hetero cis male and still be straight if you are trans attracted.

Being transgender is not "a complete disconnect from reality".
Again, what really bothers you about such a small portion of the population feeling this way anyway? It doesn't effect you. No one is questioning your gender. As I have said, we exist in every culture for thousands of years. How is that not normal to not accept us as we wish to be seen?

While intersex conditions are indeed rare. That is still sex. Gender is more of sense of self. Both how one see's themselves, and how they present themselves to those around them.

Mine is also empty.

Those are chromosomes. There are cases of XX growing a penis during puberty and displaying masculine qualities. Same for XY having a functional uterus.

There are plenty of trans people who function well and even better when treated with gender affirming procedures. Trans people are as diverse as any race, age, country, and sexuality because every culture around the world has a gender non conforming population.

This all is finally gaining visibility. Its hard to learn about things without bias when things like media representation has historically been negative.

I was 8.

*edit* sexual assault. Then again but this time by a woman at 13. First consensual with a man was 15, then 17 with a woman.

I think trans people make others look at themselves in a different light as well. A lot of people don't like that. The disconnect trans people feel with their bodies is something that is difficult for a cis person to perceive. If they can't imagine it, it must not be real.

I find most are self involved enough to not really care what others do with their lives, as long as it doesn't effect them. Those that feel strongly feel strongly, and generally should be avoided. Violence against trans people is very real.

It is incredibly frustrating to be consistently dismissed for being who you are really. Fighting for survival, trying to hold a job, finding doctors, and places to live safely. All while wondering if the person starring at who from across the room with hateful eyes is violent. After their family disowned them, as well as all their friends. They still fight for their medications, and work and save for those surgeries. All while fighting the stigma of not fitting inside of a neat little binary.

No amount of counseling or therapy will stop someone from being who they are.

But it is normal, gender variations have existed for thousands of years. Early biblical transcripts cite 6 separate sexes, and gender expressions are as infinite as the small differences between each person. At the end of the day we are all really just people.

I hope it does. Penile constructing surgery has a couple breakthroughs on the horizon as well.

For the life of me, I will never understand the sheer distain some people have for trans people. Gender variation has existed as long as humanity.

As a trans woman. This topic made me very sad. I appreciate that their are advocates here as well though.

It wasn't long ago when being homosexual was considered a mental illness. Also, initial trials for uterus transplants have been successful. This would make pregnancy possible, and one estimate put it as soon as 2020.
