@fengqiuqiao@yueliangtofu I hope you're okay and I'm sorry for giving a very limited perspective on what i can imagine is an extremely difficult situation.
@yueliangtofu Yeah I wont lie i worry I've somewhat naively painted a more accepting picture than what is fair. As a foreigner I have a pretty limited view on things, especially when it comes to institutionalized transphobia.
@pupmellow_@jetzchiclete I never disclosed how long I spent in China for each of those visits, so I'm not sure how you've come to the conclusion I didn't stay long enough.
All I said was my own personal opinion that nobody cared about me being trans while I was there.
@pupmellow_@jetzchiclete Im scottish - we met when she was on holiday here and since then I've been to china three times with her.
Man people on here are so weird. How does being from the UK mean I've never been to china? We literally have visa free access now.
@sakuraolena@jetzchiclete feel like its really not that many chinese ppl in the replies/quotes, its literally all just random terfs from all over the place lmao
@astarioncel Do u know what reassignment surgery is?
Also we're not upset if you don't want to date us due to a preference of genitalia but like assuming we all have dicks is just silly
dysphoria doesn’t always manifest itself in misery as a whole and as a burning wish, but also as a general everlasting apathy which slowly eats you up to the bone of your soul until you are ready to leave this world. there is a certain point, where you don’t want anything anymore
@DimensionsInJen Thanks, I'm glad you think so.
Good on you for sharing your story with the NHS too, its really important to hear trans people's experience in this way.
I've been trying to avoid them like the plague in all honesty.
I dont understand - like obviously diy but even private routes take maybe ~800 - 1000 to set up initially.
Surely either of those would be infinitely more possible than not transitioning for 8yrs
The wait for hrt on the NHS is a killer. I came out as trans at 17. I’m going to receive them in the coming weeks at 25.
Luckily I have a hormone imbalance. My body doesn’t produce enough testosterone. I have very little facial hair, breasts and an undeveloped Adam’s apple.
@DimensionsInJen dont make the mistake of delaying treatment simply because they're concerned about an imaginary risk, or some form of NHS approval.
Good for you though, seems you've done really well despite the NHS's bullshit, hope its not too frustrating hearing everyone say to DIY.
@DimensionsInJen I can totally understand why you're not desperate to get on HRT without medical oversight. You definitely pass as a woman.
Please understand though that when everyone screams at you for not being on DIY its because we're trying to make sure others, who arent in your position(3)
ah yes I think of only gay rights when I hear 'sweet transvestite' .
Like it probably is progressive for u mr. cisgender guy but are you really shocked modern trans women aren't thrilled at this film? Like how is it hard to get when we say this upsets us.
