38 year trans man who transitioned late in life and has only been passing for a year. After decades of crippling dysphoria, I'm happy and thriving now 💕

@heyserenamunroe @aeonsavi How do you feel you got burned? At the time it seemed that you genuinely came around to some of their points. Have you since changed your mind again? And if so, why?

[Ben @bennybeanboy]

@tifagirlx I think it's the right thing to do for many reasons. I think people deserve information to make their own choices, and I wouldn't want to waste my time on a date with someone who is put off by such a major part of who I am.

[Ben @bennybeanboy]

@Ash_Lee_IRL Is the goal post now being moved from trans women are a type of woman and trans men are a type of men to we're exactly the same? I find it hard to believe that anyone genuinely feels that way deep down.

[Ben @bennybeanboy]

@BuckAngel I don't understand why either of you are so confident one way or the other about the current rate of detransition as I don't think we have any current studies on it? If you happen to have one, I'd love to see it! But yeah his study is definitely old and likely no longer accurate.

@brad_polumbo @BlaireWhite @heyserenamunroe Blaire, trans man here and I have never seen/felt this side of you before, but please know that this tenderness was your most powerful form yet and the one that has the power to shift the community. What a gift, truly, thank you.

@brad_polumbo 😂🤣💀

@heyserenamunroe Hi Serena! I'm a 38 yo trans man who found you through Brad's podcast. It gave me the cry I didn't realize I needed. I've been afraid that I can't have both community with other trans folks and nuanced thoughts on these issues. You gave me a little hope that that can change. 🫂

[Ben @bennybeanboy]

@NillValintine @hriengaalkn I can confirm you'll likely end up looking and sounding like male family members. I sound exactly like my younger brother, older brother and mom can barely tell us apart on the phone. We look similar too but just very different sizes.

Coming to a women’s toilet near you I guess. 🤷‍♂️

@thefrankwu @rae_amy52082 @BriannaWu @MrsErikaKirk Thank you, Frank!

[Ben @bennybeanboy]

@thefrankwu @rae_amy52082 @BriannaWu @MrsErikaKirk What about testosterone use in trans men?

[Ben @bennybeanboy]

@beyondthevales @BriannaWu You have no pictures posted, which almost certainly means you're ugly.

[Ben @bennybeanboy]

@CryptKeeperCid @BriannaWu You too could improve yourself if you put even one tenth of the energy into it that you do ranting at strangers on the internet.

[Ben @bennybeanboy]

@BriannaWu @beyondthevales Impressive glowup!! Weird how people think self improvement is something to be ashamed of when you're trans even though it's celebrated for everyone else.

[Ben @bennybeanboy]

@ArielleScarcell When we do speak up it accomplishes nothing. Both sides are furious with us for different reasons. No one wants to hear it, everyone says to shutup and we ultimately go back to just getting on with our quiet lives.

[Ben @bennybeanboy]

@willothewoods Two things can be true at once in that trans women have it worse but we still have our own issues and feelings about those and deserve to talk about ours as well.

[Ben @bennybeanboy]

@willothewoods Oh, I completely agree that we have privilege over trans women 💯. But sometimes the opposite extreme is taken where we're spoken over about our own experiences and told our experience is the same as cis men's and so we should just shutup.

[Ben @bennybeanboy]

@0xCAFEBEEF It's a good reminder to not give up and keep taking those hormones. Always more gifts to come. I'm happy for you. 😊

[Ben @bennybeanboy]

@solarflare001 LMFAO

[Ben @bennybeanboy]

@vicbirn @Naeluckmate @Veritaserum44 Well, I guess everyone got magically woke a year ago then because I meet hundreds of new customers every day and 100% say Sir without hesitation since I hit 3 years on T.

Regardless, I love how my body looks now so other people's words and opinions don't hold power over me.
