Ew girl. Stay away from that thai.

I feel like I'm missing out on that thai (I've never had it before.) Its the milk that hits me the wrong way 

You may be lactose intolerant! Cut on milk!

[nudemacusers]

I wish there better analogies to described being trans, not like the "imagine if you had to go into women's bath/wear tutu/etc" ones. I remember reading a Mac/Windows OS one, like you're a Windows with a Mac OS inside you or something of the sort. Just something palatable that the average person would get.

i think i'm becoming mildly intolerant. butter is ok in small amounts, but milk just leaves me gross and feeling 'saturated' if that makes sense. maybe that's just part of getting old  :'(

Considering I already have depression and according to my therapist says the gender thing is at the heart if it, I'd say so.

eh, I find it weird when people question others about things like this. If you say your trans then I believe you are trans until you tell me otherwise.

well considering how much time people spend trying to discredit others, act like the shit theyre feeling its real, act like theyre doing it for disingenuous reasons, etc it seems sadly normal for others to feel they have the right to doubt/question others when hearing them talk about their own feelings or experiences

Why does what a person identify with matter so much to people online? Even if they might pretend to be a girl when they are really a guy, why is that so important to stop asap? Is it because you thought about spitting game to them? Well maybe don't hit on everyone who claims to be a girl before getting to know them.

Its a shame because once you say your a girl online you have to display your picture for proof. I say I don't need to prove shit and will never prove shit because most peoples opinion online are void to me anyways.

My elementary/middle school's colors were blue and green and as a result we were divided into blue and green teams. The team you were assigned in kindergarten stayed with you until you graduated in 8th grade. I was assigned to the green team but deep down blue was my favorite color. I spent years trying to believe I liked the color green when in reality I hated it It wasn't until high school when I could truly embrace my love for the color blue

That's probably not the same thing

The PS4 GPU is a 7 series GPU (like a 7850). The 660 is a 6 series GPU, so it's the last gen model. The PS4 is basically a supercharged PC so no, you can't run 1080p full hd on a 660. Plus it's not enough ram (2gb vs 8gb ddr5)

My favorite person in that thread is the software engineer who thinks that his experience as a software engineer of undisclosed projects lends credibility to his analysis. I've worked professionally as a full-time software developer for six years now, and studied Computer Science for four years before that, but none of that gives me much more of an understanding of the scope of making a 2D fighting game than the fry cook at McDonald's. Why? Because I don't work on 2D fighting games.

Then there's the guy who is in IT and has worked on a NUMBER of IT projects and knows nothing using computers should cost this much. Or the guy who works part-time and draws in his free time and figured he could do it all for under $150k if they gave him the time to learn.

I like all the suggestions that the art is simple so why would it take all this time to do? You just draw the character, maybe five or six poses and you're set right? Just alter it on a computer, don't outsource it, that's bad management!

Besides, open heart transplants only cost $130,000!

I get the gender arguments and am slowly getting used to the trend concept of feeling like a woman in your head, I guess.

I don't get why women who'd be uncomfortable with having a "guy" (to them) in the bathroom don't seem to have a choice in the matter.

There are people other than cis women in there whether those women know or not. If it's an innate fear of rape that means we have to deal with that problem itself.  Plus to project the idea that trans people are in there specifically to take that advantage is dumb.

It doesn't have to be an "innate fear" of rape, they could've actually been raped and be very uncomfortable with a cock in the ladies room.  But they don't have to have been raped to be uncomfortable, really.

I guess I've always associated bathrooms with physicality and not gender identity.  I don't have strong feelings one way or the other, but we have this very easy way of drawing the lines based on what's in your underwear, which has generally kept people happy for a long time.  It seems like pre-op, or whenever a person is still clearly physically their birth gender/sex/whateverits3inthemorning, the respectful thing to do is continue using the women's/men's room and ignore the word on the door.  One person's feelings on their gender identity can be temporarily put aside so many other people can feel secure in a private area.  I'm not sure I buy the "deal with it" argument, considering it takes literally nobody else's feelings into account.  But since it is just a physical thing, I think post-op, post-transformation, post-whatever, when they've made the switch, then it's a non-issue because no one will notice.

Get beat up by boys in boys restroom or use girls restroom.

I see that one person commented on Coy growing boy features hasn't heard of puberty blockers 

wow...you know it's easily argued that girls are just as, if not more vicious than guys at school, right?  The physical act of beating someone up is too outward for most guys to act on in school (at least, at a halfway civilized one.)  Maybe there's an asshole who is willing to cross that line.  But there's absolutely nothing from stopping someone from gossiping, insulting, and generally attacking that person in every way possible except physically...which is what school girls excel at. 

Goddamn, I get hormones in less than a month and that thread has me depressed. "It?" Treating this person like a sexual fiend? Ugh.  :sadcam

i'm sorry but haven't you gone back and forth on things like this before?  Seems like some of the jokes people make here about you have to do with you claiming to identify certain ways, then turning back.  I don't know anything, but I hope you're sure about this.   

...i'll show myself to the ignore list.

[MCD]

At what point did you realize that you really didn't want to be a guy?

It isn't so much didn't want to be a guy. I'm not using the "always knew" bullshit. In my case all my friends were girls when I was really young. There were boys around but I always picked girls as friends and I had girl things as a main interest. At some point, you're told there's something wrong with that. So you start doing what how you're "supposed" to act. I still had interest in girl things but knew it was wrong to indulge.

Eventually, I just accepted I was a boy and stopped doing it. But it never goes away and it sticks with you. More than half my friends were girls going into middle school. I didn't know transgender or whatever Was even a thing. I called a hospital to turn me into a girl. I was pissed when they said this was not possible.

Anyways, you get to a point where you research what transgender is, think "that's me". After that depending on how willing I was to do it, I decided to go to therapy to see if my worries were legitimate. It is a long process. It didn't help that people like the people in that gaf thread make you doubt yourself so you don't even bother with it, and end up delaying it (I've delayed mine by five years).

It is less or a moment of "deciding I don't want to be a man" and more "saying fuck it, I'm doing it" after years of internal pressure.
