hi everyone, i’m trying to use lemmy instead of reddit more and from what i’ve read, this community seems great! back on reddit i really had not he best experiences. i was a member of ftm and ftmMen, the latter of which had some pretty bad problems to the point i recently left it. mainly, there were multiple posts saying how much “nonbinary transmasculine people annoy me” and such which drove me up a wall. any time i tried to speak out in defense of nonbinary trans men being in the community i was downvoted to hell. personally i consider myself a binary trans man but i do identify with xenogenders a bit as well. it just doesn’t make any sense to me why someone not being 100% binary (or even just existing in the way transmedicalists want you to) makes them not fit for a space. we all have similar experiences with our transitions, nonbinary trans men can be on T and get any surgery a binary trans man would. anyways this was kind of just a rant but i also was asking if anyone else had these experiences particularly on the reddit(s), and maybe even that’s why you joined lemmy instead? :)

    i had a reddit transmedicalist tell me the effects i specifically want from testosterone aren’t possible. cut to now where cis women are using testosterone for the exact thing i want.

    but tbh that’s not why i quit reddit, i quit reddit because fuck spez.
