I'm familiar with a lot of Jordan Peterson's gender views, he borrows a lot from Nietzsche and Paglia with the Apollonian and Diyonisian typology which are interesting concepts though his usage of them is much less coherent than his predecessors. I don't think he deserves death threats, or to be...

Sorry, forgot that you guys are old. Agree things even out with age. 

Not disagreeing, just pointing out (to you and other people who said similar things) that being attractive as a woman has comparatively more practical benefit than being attractive as a man. In a lot of circumstances makeup is a basic presentability requirement in the way shaving (or having...

I never personally had to reconcile any of this with religion, but I do think some of the conversations around it are interesting. One thing I found really interesting was reading into Joan of Arc's takes on gender. I don't like when people project transgenderism on to historical figures, they...

Answered most of this here. One thing I did leave out that you might find interesting is that I do remember thinking I was intersex at a very young age, maybe elementary school. I had zero grounds for this belief, and it is not something I ever felt the need to investigate - I just had some...

Starting with this, being stealth is to me a truly free and happy life. Presenting as male is being openly myself. Many cis people have hormone disorders and take medication to present closer to how they identify - I consider myself to be doing the same thing. My birth sex is just a piece of...

I'd say leave it here for now but not too familiar with the site conventions. 

I guess equivalent to however you are now. 7/10 guy would become 7/10 girl etc. 

I know this is a stupid hypothetical but I think the conviction here is interesting. I'm of the opinion that most people are inherently bisexual and those who exclusively pursue one sex (myself included) are subconsciously doing some form of political lesbianism - kind of the same way I feel...

Not fat. And his coats tend to fit him properly 

Mens bathrooms are grosser, but I haven't had to wait in a bathroom line since making the change which totally makes up for it. I will say that the bathroom in my suite of 4 guys last year sometimes got so bad I would just use the public one on the first floor, but I have never had a public...

Short answer: Yes. Long answer: I would definitely say trans men experience less stigma. People care a lot less about them in general, most of the pushback on trans guys is from parents. I think trans men are in a lot less physical danger than trans women, and though I wouldn't call the general...

I actually remember my first male bathroom experience very vividly. I got extremely lucky with how some of the timing worked out, and I more or less got through the awkward transition stage during covid lockdowns. The first time I used a public male restroom was maybe 4 months after starting...

This is Peter, fatguy’s kid. A while ago when he made the thread about me, I thought about contributing something, but never got around to it. To establish some basic facts about me and the trans stuff: 1)    Being trans is not a big part of my life. There have been times I have genuinely...
