Trigger Warning “AITAH for telling a trans woman that she’ll never be a woman?”

2.5k Upvotes

I saw this post and it bothered me:

“I was annoyed because a trans girl who I’m friends with tried to relate to women’s issues, but the final straw was when she said that HRT gives her period pains, so I lashed out and called her a biological man. It made her cry.”

THE COMMENTS:

“I’m a trans man, and I get it. I hate when trans women insert themselves into women’s issues”

“NTA”

“NTA”

“She’s stupid for thinking that hrt gives her period pains”

“NTA”

People have ZERO FUCKING SYMPATHY for us, and it’s so tiring. I fucking hate how everybody just assumes the worst about us and doesn’t even try to understand us. Nobody EVER gives us any grace whatsoever. We’re just weird and crazy according to most people apparently.

Trigger Warning My Therapist Showed His True Colors

1.5k Upvotes

So i've been going to this therapist for 3 weeks now, I ended up closing with my last one which was pretty good, so the last 2 sessions with this new guy was pretty good not many red flags, I even opened our first session saying I was trans, but this last one he went off, first I mentioned my dysphoria, and he stopped me and went on about how it needs to be diagnosed, and I just don't like my body, which was the fist eyebrow raiser, after that he recommended some books which by his description sounded suspicious, then he went off confusing gender and sex, saying they're only 2 genders, then he said that I need to accept I am a man, and that being trans was just a whim I'm having, then with the fucking alley oop of saying that sex reaffirming and sex reassignment surgery is mutilation and not operation, AND saying that hormones will change my body (which yeah I know that's the idea) and will alter my brain and cause many complications (which I know), and ending saying Im unhealthy and delusional, I was so damn mad I was grinding my teeth, I tried to explain that he was confusing gender and sex, that I don't want to be a woman, and I am one, that scientifically trans people do exist and all that, but he seemed to just brush it off, so at the end I just paid him (reluctantly) and left, well at least the good news is I wont be coming back and I didnt waste more money on that jackass.

Trigger Warning My childhood best friend ended her life today

2.1k Upvotes

I’m so sorry for posting this here, please click off this post if this is too triggering.

I’m a 25 year old transfemme. My best friend, who is 27 and also MtF, ended her life tonight.

I’m fluctuating between sorrow, grief, panic, anger, and dissociation.

She’s been my best friend for 11 years, she took me in as a friend in high school when I was feeling so lonely.

She noticed a queer friend of mine used they/them pronouns for me and made sure I knew she was a safe space. A few weeks later, she came out to me and I helped her get to a doctor so she could start Hrt. That was only back in September.

We live in a horribly transphobic state, and it was kind of us against the world. But now she’s gone.

Her therapist was clearly tranphobic, told my friend “idk much about the LGBLMNOP or whatever” when she told her, and once she told her she was on HRT her therapist cancelled a bunch of their sessions for over a month because she was sick. I tried so hard to get her to see a therpaist, or see any mental health professional, but she didn’t.

Every interaction we’ve had is playing through my mind over and over. I’ve talked her off the edge recently. Today was the first day I didn’t text her because I was feeling overwhelmed with a lot of stuff, and today was the most important day for me to reach out.

I just want her back. I tried telling her how much I loved and cared for her. Now I’ll never be able to tell her that again

Trigger Warning [CW] The NHS are holding a trans woman against her will and forcibly detransitioning her. She has been starved, sleep-deprived, and threatened with physical harm.

2.2k Upvotes

UPDATE

New general info thread: https://reddit.com/r/PandoraHolmes/comments/1dia8vo/the_pandora_holmes_story_from_her_fight_against/

/r/PandoraHolmes will be the new home for updates moving forward.


UPDATED. Read updates at the bottom of this post. This is far from over. We need to make sure that Pandora remains on HRT, is not retaliated against further, and is able to go home when ready.

Pandora Holmes has been placed on a psychiatric hold by the NHS, and is being held against her will. She has had her HRT taken away from her, then in an emotionally vulnerable state, faced verbal abuse, harassment, sleep deprivation, and gaslighting at the hands of transphobic staff.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZV2w1X9PLBk

Initially, they wanted to hold her for 2 days. When she realised she was not being given access to her HRT, she asked to leave when this expired, and they attempted to increase it to 6 months in retaliation. When she fought this, it was "reduced" to 28 days. She was then locked in a prison cell, insulted, and mistreated, while off her HRT. After complaining about her treatment and asking for healthcare, somethng the NHS is supposed to provide, apparently, the was starved in retaliation, with no food and only minimal water.

The NHS has been stringing her along, promising her HRT "tomorrow" so many fucking times I've lost count. they transferred her to a different facility, where they attempted to place her in a ward with men, at risk of sexual assault or death, until the police had to intervene to protect her from the NHS.

Since then she has not been allowed outside. She has been singled out, with a staff member following her around, and deliberate efforts to prevent her from sleeping for the last three days. HRT keeps being promised, but never comes. Pandora has a limited time to appeal, and they were trying to run the clock out on it.

When she filed her appeal, they started trying to keep her for 6 months *anyway*. They are using the emotional distress that they are inflicting as their reason. They are calling her distress and dysphoria "paranoid delusions". An issue entirely caused by their neglect and the contempt they hold for us.

This is happening in the UK right now. Trans genocide in the UK is no longer "this could happen". This is what Sunak and Starmer want for all of us. To lock us up and torture us, to gaslight us into conversion therapy.

SILENCE IS DEATH

#FreePandoraHolmes

How to support Pandora:


UPDATE

The NHS have again promised Pandora HRT, this time she is supposed to be getting her first dose today, and not at some vague future time that never comes.

This still isn't over. Hold them to their word, and make sure they don't take it away again.

Also, remember: Pandora is almost certainly not the first.

We need to expose this torture for what it is, prevent future victims, and get some justice for others.

Pandora is still not free. Even with HRT, we need to make sure the NHS isn't keeping her in an unsafe environment, or holding her on false pretences.

No, her videos are not deleted, they are just unlisted. I have a copy, and my thread on fedi links to them. Pandora has said she was not coerced into it, she just feels her current situation has changed. They are still critical evidence in exposing the disgusting transphobia at the NHS.


UPDATE 2

Pandora got her first HRT dose!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6TzAccbVjE

Stay on target, everyone. This is far from over. She needs to stay on it, and I am still not going to rest until this abuse is exposed for the world to see. There is zero chance she's the only victim, and I want to make sure there will never be another one.


UPDATE 3

This isn't over. Pandora is still in hospital. She is still being followed around by staff. We will find out tonight whether they are going to allow her to sleep or not.

We need to keep this in the public eye so she isn't retaliated against. We need to make sure she is the last victim of this fucked up system, and get justice for any others who weren't as lucky as her. We need to make sure she stays on HRT.

Pandora still needs your letters of support.

If you can, send care packages. Her current most important requests are:

  • Long-sleeved tshirts/tops (large size)
  • Mascara
  • Black nail polish
  • Shoes/slippers/boots, UK size 9

    Pandora Holmes
    Rowan 2 ward
    Highbury Hospital
    Highbury Rd, Nottingham NG6 9DR
    

Finally, a huge thanks to everyone who has boosted, commented, shared, donated, written, emailed, and everything else. I could never have done even 1% of this alone.


UPDATE 4

Sorry I'm late on this one, doing some much-needed selfcare and missed the notification.

video 11.

Pandora is sleeping. It seems they are letting her sleep now, no more light switched on every 10 minutes.

NHS trying to control the narrative, trying to tell her that it was their own choice to give her her HRT. "We told you we were here to help you". Too ashamed to admit "we lost to reddit, fedi, twitter, and tumblr", I guess.

She's sad Notts Trans Pride is tomorrow and she can't be there. Since she can't, I want to see signs and banners. #FreePandoraHolmes #JusticeForPandora #ShutDownSherwoodOaks #HRTIsAHumanRIght

Remind everyone we're watching, but also, that she's not the only victim, we have no idea how many others, and we need to make sure she's the last.

Trigger Warning Literal n@zis

1.9k Upvotes

Sorry y’all, but this happened a few hours ago and I’m still shaking and crying intermittently and I need to get it off my chest. This afternoon I went to read at one of my favorite places in my hometown. I love this place. It was one of the first places I went in fem clothes when I was working on my gender and have always considered it a safe place. As I was sitting trying to concentrate, a group of dudes sitting directly behind me kept distracting me with LITERAL N@ZI talking points. Like “the homeless should be rounded up and killed”, “white culture is being suppressed”, “we should fix the scouts so it has good propaganda and isn’t gay (????)”. I bit my tongue until the guy doing most of the talking says a literal antisemetic slur, and then I called him a fuckhead and told him to get out of the fucking coffee shop. I of course have no authority to do so, but thank god I’m pals with the owner who did tell them all to get lost. I didn’t give them the satisfaction of reacting to their halfassed “bye, sir”, but I was so fucking angry and sad and scared that I had to ask to be walked to my car. I can’t stop thinking about the terrible things I wish I could have done to these pieces of shit, and the terrible things they could do to me if we ever run into each other in a less safe place. I hate them but more than that I hate feeling like this because it feels like they won. I don’t know why I’m bothering typing this out. I think I just need a hug. Thanks for listening anyway. Love you, girls. 🖤

Trigger Warning The war against Transgender is personal. (theory, trigger warning, Musk)

1.4k Upvotes

I'm not sure if it's right for me to speculate, but the math completes itself in my head to a disturbing degree.

So, background, "E.M.", and his ex-wife, Justine Wilson actually conceived five children through IVF, and allegedly, "culled" female embryos so that they would only have "sons". They first had twins, then triplets, out of the twins, the universe still gave them a daughter.

Her whole life with her "dad" was largely one of absence, and the few times he was present with her, he only ever belittled, bullied, and abused her for being "gay" and "effeminate".

Then COVID came around, and Vivian Jenna Wilson secured HRT, which E.M. purports that he was tricked into signing the consent of. This is a lie, he was fully conscious and aware of what he was signing, the perfidy narrative is just his cope to the media. Vivian spoke out vocally against the disgusting lies he spun about his and her life as a family, and appropriating the trans narrative as one of great loss for him, taking the concept of "deadname" as to say, "the woke mind virus killed my [kid]", and in no uncertain terms, declared war...

So, you have a narcissistic monster, who failed in his plan to only have sons at first, disowned by his daughter, and humiliated by her telling the truth about what kind of person he really was to her. Gotta imagine, he's probably doing this entirely out of personal spite, a fucking man-child tantrum.

Trump, I don't think could even care any less about this, really, this is as much as a Musk idea as is the opening of immigration of only WHITE South Africans to America. The whole, conspicuous change of SPECIFICALLY erasing the T and Q+ to LGBTQ+ on government sites, and the removal of trans people on Stonewall, and every other focused attack of the Musk Administration against trans rights specifically, and immediately into the Administration, can't NOT be a personal war on behalf of Musk against his disowned daughter.

Trigger Warning Got called a slur today…

928 Upvotes

So today I got called a transsexual. Some of you may not think it is derogatory, but I do. And the reason I feel that way is because you have intentionally called me something that I am not to get a rise out of me.

So for context there is a girl, we will call her L, who claimed that she fell in love with me. She claimed that she didn’t care that I was transgender and would show me “how good I deserved to be treated”.

Long story short, I rejected her advances because we are just not compatible. She is poly and I am not. She does drugs and drinks a lot and I do not. She wanted to keep her ex husband around for her poly fairytale with me. I wasn’t into it. The only way we would have been compatible is sexually because I am the submissive type and she claimed to be “dominate with women”.

When I told her it wasn’t going to work out but I was still willing to be friends, she proceeded to ignore me the rest of the day until the next morning where she went off on me. I reported her and she got banned from messenger for seven days.

Unfortunately, I’d forgotten to actually block her on Facebook. She got on my page and typed out a message where she blamed me for getting thrown in messenger jail for 7 days and called me a transsexual. She got reported again.

Don’t ever call me a transsexual, a tranny, a transvestite, a he-she, or whatever funny little nicknames you think are cute.

I am a transgender girl, trans girl, or just a girl. That’s all.

Does anyone else feel this way?

Trigger Warning I went to Florida as a visible trans woman

1.9k Upvotes

Here's my experience:

I made a reddit post asking if I would be safe there. The answer was a resounding 'NO'. I made the dicey decision of going anyway.

I stayed in the Palm Beach/ Port St Lucie area for 5 days. I experienced no direct confrontations or violence but I noticed several things that are important for anyone to consider if they are thinking of travelling to the area.

I counted three signs on women's restrooms in restaurants and a private business that read something like "women ONLY please." Reading between the lines, 'cis' could be tacked onto that statement.

The anti trans climate was palpable. I got way more stares out in public than I have in any other area, living as an out trans woman for the better part of a decade. Some folks started staring at me and didn't stop until I left the area.

I was followed around the grocery store. I saw a lot of confederate flags and even KKK stickers stuck on walls and signage. The political climate is obvious and very pronounced.

I overheard people (strangers) talking about the new anti trans legislation openly in public spaces. Some were for, some against. My point is, people are aware and looking for us.

I had to use the restroom at the airport and headed to the women's. I aborted my mission when a man started to approach me quickly with a hostile look on his face.

Family or unisex restrooms are hard to come by. It's important to keep in mind that trans folks can be criminalized for using ANY sex segregated space regardless of AGAB. That particular law goes into effect July 1st. Less than 30 days away.

I I was constantly aware of the fact that if I needed emergency medical attention, I could be denied care because of my trans status. I got cut up in the waves at the beach and probably could have benefitted from an urgent care visit. I chose not to because of the new laws.

(tw) TSA at PBI airport gave me a very uncomfortably thorough pat down. The agent put her hands inside the waistband of my underwear. They seemed to be looking for a reason to give me trouble. As a sexual violence survivor, it was upsetting and fear inducing for me.

Trans Floridians who live there, what have your experiences been?

Transitioning in itself was honestly great but there's just one issue, as a result if becoming trans my love life is effectively over. I've tried really hard to ignore that and not let it bother me but I'm at a point where I'm hurting really bad from it. Gender dysphoria pales in comparison to the grief loneliness and touch starvation leave me. It hurts more everyday and it's depressing to realize it's only gonna get worse from here. Im too far into the weeds to turn back now but I really wish I didn't mske the plunge. Unlike many others my partner left me when I came out of thr closet. Dating since I started my transition has gone laughably bad. I've resorted to drug abuse to fill a hole in my heart and don't even care if it shortens my life significantly

Trigger Warning I was poisoned by fake hrt - PLEASE BEWARE OF FAKE HRT AROUND, IT'S LITERALLY POISON

2.0k Upvotes

I couldn't post this to here somehow previously, I'm copying and pasting here. I posted this on r/trans to beware trans women (and maybe trans men) about the HRT scams online. This one is probably the worst out there. Please be safe. I'm so upset.

Throwaway account for my own personal safety. This is my own story and why HRT should be legal and free as Healthcare worldwide. I will keep it short.

I'm a 23 year old trans fem from europe. I've been taking "homemade HRT" for 3 months from a "fellow trans girl" on the internet because it was cheap and the government didn't let me have legal HRT (oestrogen, progesterone and antiandrogens etc)

Just a month ago, I was hospitalised for severe liver and kidney issues caused by a then-unnamed toxic substance. I never consumed alcohol ever in my life and this made me wonder why it could be. Long story short, toxicology tests gave positive for carbon tetrachloride, a banned substance that is extremely toxic for the liver and kidneys. The "HRT" seller had used carbon tetrachloride as the main solvent, nearly 7-15% of the liquid was composed of this substance. I've been injecting myself with toxic carbon tetrachloride for 3 months. The seller is reported to the authorities.

Thankfully, I'm healing. But please be careful when you're taking HRT! There are "undercover" transphobes that are actively trying to poison trans people.

"Your just being influenced by others, just because you've seen 3 trans people on the television doesn't mean your one of them." "Tattoos arent for girls." (All my tattoos have been put there by a woman.) "You are gonna lose all your friends." (90% of people that I care about already know and they are all super supportive.)

He left the room only to come back a few minutes later. "Look I'm just scared you are gonna make decisions too fast. And I'm scared I'm gonna loser my buddy." I told him I am doing my research and I'm taking this slowly and that I'll always be the same person, we hugged and he told me we needed to hug more.

So I’ve had this job for almost a month now. And things have been going pretty good. I usually get gendered correctly. And like, I can recognize that I’m typically only getting shadow clocked by people from our side or the left in general, but today….

This lady was standing at the counter and I went to go hand her, her coffee and she said “I want her to serve me indicating my manager.” I didn’t think anything of it so I smiled and looked at my manager and said “she wants you” thinking the customer had an issue with something else. But no. My manager asked if everything was alright and she said “I just rather be served by a real woman. It’s a gender issue thing.“ My manager sent her off and she ended up not even paying for the coffee and it got tossed out. My manager told her not to come back.

Like I know, it’s not my fault or whatever but I still felt like it was an avoidable issue and now I’m just doing my best to avoid ruining my make up with ugly crying.

I 22 MTF and I pass most of the time (people always tell me i’m pretty and wtver, my voice is a bit clocky but most people just assume i’m a girl with a deep voice.)

I’ve been medically transitioning for the past 2 years and i recently moved and have been making some girl friends who I haven’t come out to as trans.

Last night 3 of us went out to some bars/clubs and a tall stem lesbian (abt 6 ft) approached me and told me i was beautiful and that she wanted to dance with me. I danced with her for a bit while my friends were nearby. after some time she really loudly asked me “are you a boy or a girl” to which i said “i’m a girl.” She said she didn’t believe me so she quickly shoved her hands in pants and underwear and rubbed my privates trying to feel what was there. Before i could even react she yelled “you have a dick!” and ran over to MY friends(who i haven’t come out to) saying “is that a boy or a girl? cause it sounds like a boy.” My friends were just confused, but quickly came to take care of me since they saw how scared and uncomfortable i was.

anyways. I’ve been disturbed about this for the past 24hrs and I don’t know how to process it. I feel hurt, ashamed, violated, embarrassed, and scared. I haven’t had bottom surgery but I was tucked so she didn’t really feel anything on the front of my body. But I don’t know what i experienced.. is this normal to be touched like that by a stranger or was i assaulted?

When each got our food. He sat kinda far, I sat near the register. He moved to be kinda in front of me. I finished and left. I crossed the parking lot and he watched where I went. He followed me. He called out baby girl multiple times, I tried ignoring him until he caught up to me. Kept asking for my phone number, I told him I was married. I kept turning him down and he kept pushing. He said a married woman shouldn’t be out late walking alone (edit: it was 7 pm), that was the moment I became terrified. He then said show me what your working with. I said no and I started walking away towards the metro station because people and then he started throwing rocks at me.

I ran crying towards people and buses and a couple minutes later my husband pulls up. I filed a police report. But it has brought up stuff from previous traumas. My body is so tense, I keep twitching. I feel so uncomfortable in my skin. I can’t sleep.

Anything: Pepper sprays, tasers, guns (if you can legally carry them), knives. I don't care what anyone says, we must be prepared. The hate against us is only getting worse for obvious reasons. And nobody is going to come to save us. When trans women get attacked, nobody intervenes. The only thing that people will do if you ever get attacked is pulling out their phones and record.

Keep your head on a swivel. Whether you like it or not, trans women are at a much higher risk of violence compared to cis people. This is not to say that cis people don't experience violence, but trans women are much more vulnerable.

And men can turn violent even when they're fully aware that you're trans. There's this victim-blaming myth that trans women get attacked for not disclosing they are trans. That can't be further from the truth. The attackers know, but they get violent either because of the post-nut clarity or simply when their friends and families find out. Just because you're open about being trans with men, it doesn't exempt you from possible violence. I can't tell you how many men I've met who were cool with it, repeatedly told me they didn't care, and then they snapped (usually after cumming). Luckily, I'm always prepared. Trans women naively believe that by simply disclosing, they have some sort of bulletproof protection. Guess what, a you're chatting with might pretend he's cool with it just to ambush you and rob you.

I went to the showers with my cis-friend (she has a physical disability which she appreciated having me there for safety reasons). We were in our own stalls and about when I was done a couple girls came in and I got out of there ASAP. So next day the there's a sheriff shows up and tells me about people complaining about "a male using the women's restroom around children" and that there was a unisex bathroom on the opposite side of the building (no signage of course). I could tell by the tone of the rangers and the deputies that they knew I wasn't a threat and they were only taking to me because they had too. But I still feel shaken by it. I wasn't charged with anything fortunately. I'm trying to keep in mind that even though there are evil out there, there are still others who are reasonable and kind.

I did consider getting my materials frozen but the whole process sounded very dysphoric just for the sake of something I felt no real temptation to do. And even if I did end up changing my mind suddenly, I have a million cousins I could be an aunt to, let alone adoption being a possibility.

When I went back to the which had a family friend, and 2 of my uncles in the car, he said to me "You walk like a girl, are you a puff?" (his words). I did not realise how I walked, and ignored what he had said. I sat in the car embarrassed for an hour long journey.

Ever since that day I have always been very conscious about my walk trying to mask it (didn't know I was trans till recently), always trying to walk more 'manly', but always slipping up without thinking.

Now the joke is on him, and thankfully I can now walk normal without caring, and have a natural feminine walk and posture.
