It does feel lonely on fedi as trans guy in c/ftm@lemmy.blahaj.zone

@hildegarde that's an interesting theory. Might explain why I saw equally both transmascs and transfems on Tumblr, for example, though many transfems are leaving due to Tumblr staff being hostile to them. I also guess disproportion may be caused by transmascs tending to be silent about themselves for various reasons

It does feel lonely on fedi as trans guy

Not just as trans guy, but also the one who isn't that much interested in tech (I can learn something for my amateur website, but that's it).

It's also kinda interesting that I used to have even some aversion to learning tech due to family trauma (don't force your own goals on your kids) and misogyny in IT spaces, which makes makes it a bit harder to have joy in learning it (and also it's fucking hard, I need explanations like I'm 5 or I won't understand). Though among my all-transmasc family members I'm still the one most interested in IT, LOL.

And basically that's why I find bluesky more appealing to me lately, simply because I see variety of interests and more transmascs. If I see memes and shitposts in trans communities on fedi, they're oriented mostly to transfems into tech (which I don't mind at all, I'm just not the target audience). Despite all of that, I will continue to actively use fedi at least to be the one who makes some variety here :D

@cowboycrustation Thank you! I'm glad that there are alive (or at least semi alive) transmasc centered communities on fedi

[CW: misogyny] First experience with misogynistic men

I'd like to post about one time when I somehow passed enough as a guy, even though I didn't bind and overall was dressed more "ambiguously". It was a taxi driver that was talking to me about women being an objects for sex as if I'd relate. I tried to argue, but overall I have learned defensive mechanism to laugh at uncomfortable situations. Friend told me after that situation that men in general don't have to laugh if something others have said sucks ass, because men are more allowed to disagree, so I guess I have to unlearn some stuff to deal with it better.

In general, I hate the fact that the more you pass the more comfortable cis men are with saying disgusting shit about women around you, especially since I did (and still am) go through misogyny. I hope I'll be able to deal with it better in a future.

If you have any tips, I'd be glad to hear, this situation definitely made me use only public transport if possible for a while ๐Ÿ˜ญ

Hi, I'm just lurking at trans masc spaces on fedi, but decided to comment from my mastodon account, so I hope this comment federates well

I'm a Russian 21 year old nonbinary trans guy who has been 1 year on testosterone. My transition journey is quite interesting because I didn't have as overt dysphoria as it is usually portrayed in media. For example, for me it wasn't pure hatred of my body, but rather going through dissociative episodes. I felt "fine" as a cis woman until I realized that something better could be done.

Most gender affirming items are neckties and belts lol, I'm just a huge fan of suits in general.

Waiting for my moustache to grow ๐Ÿ˜ญ, but what I've already got is fat redistribution, some body hair, acne and low enough voice, which used to be one of my main sources of dysphoria, so I'm doing quite well.

With current events and the fact that I'm Russian immigrant in a country that also goes Russia-mode it's quite unpredictable, but I have enough support to not go insane
