    One of my post-op trans friends is out there having one night stands and that makes me happy.

      I’m very transphobic, can you please advise where exactly your friend looking for those “one night stands” so I wouldn’t accidentally ran into her?

          I know a lot of transfem friends who use grindr and it perplexes me to no end - its an app primarily for gay men! Is it not endlessly dysphoric to put oneself in that situation? The people who are expressing attraction to one are likely attracted to one as a “twink” or “sissy” as opposed to “woman” >.<

          I mean this with no malice or judgment, it just truly confuses me

            there are twinks, sissies, crossdressers, enbies, and trans fems on there. theres also lots of chasers for sure. but for me at least im mostly looking for other trans fems on there, so i dont have to worry too much about being misgendered or anything. i mostly like it because theres way fewer barriers to talking to people so its much easier to connect with them if youre both interested.

            ive found it so fucking hard to connect with people on other apps with how they dribble out people to swipe on and only let you talk to people youve matched with. even on apps that are supposedly queer friendly i just get fucking nothing, and im not gonna pay to get gaslit by some capitalist asshole who just wants my money and doesnt want me to connect with anyone. so mainly grindr is like the only app that even works for me.

              Thanks for the insight!

              If I may make an app recommendation, Lex has been an incredible way for me to meet wonderful queer people for all kinds of connection. Different kind of approach in that its a personals feed, but I feel like the connections made there are easier to make and more robust

                well i made an account but im a bit disappointed so far. same ass dribble of potential partners unless you pay. just another fucking app that doesnt want you to meet people, just shell out money for false hope. capitalism fucking sucks.

                  Are you using the personals bit or are you using the tinder esque matching thing? The tinder esque matching thing is gross, but I hate that concept generally. The personals bit is the bit that matters, you can message anyone and anyone can message you. Just let people know what you’re looking for, or check what people are posting about near you!

        They see a woman when they see a woman, even when they refuse to admit it. Then again, also on brand… refusing to believe facts and too afraid to broach their own cognitive dissonance

      We’re talking about incels here, they’re not exactly known for their Cassanova flirting abilities. You might not consider that hitting on you, but I assure you that’s their A game.

      Your comment makes me think that I wanna know how big your dick is? But please, please, please do not tell me. If you tell me, I’ll wanna write that down, and then I’ll wanna start polling people for the sake of datasets that I only care about so that I can create graphs and dashboards. Honestly, if you tell me, my wife would kill me for starting another project.

          I must have misunderstood something because I read your original comment as kinda like fishing for someone to ask. But now I’m concerned that what I may have misunderstood to be horny-posting was shorthand for a genuine trauma to which I simply couldn’t relate in the moment. And if that’s the case, then my attempt to run a literary cold shower probably comes off as me trying to invalidate your trauma. If that’s the case, I am so so so so sorry, cuz that wasn’t my intention at all.

          In response to whether or not my comment was a joke: it’s a joke that I care how big anyone’s anything is (except for appetite when I’m cooking); it’s not a joke that I spend an unusual amount of my free time making spreadsheets and dashboards.

      • Should you really trust people on the internet to not exaggerate how small they are though? Perhaps you should measure it yourself. And why stop at length? Just get a penile plethysmograph and perhaps call yourself Ray. /j

          If I had that kind of equipment, no joke, I’d pay people to sneeze into my machine and then create an unorganized dataset of the volumes (sound and size) of people’s sneezes.
