Was it this? Or is this just another super long essay on the same subject?You remind me of that long essay someone (forget who) wrote to explain what loveshies are. Specifically, the part where loveshies congregate in hate-soaked forums to tell themselves how special they are - it's like a crack addict who needs treatment going to a group of other crack addicts who tell him there's nothing possibly wrong or dangerous with crack and instead of examining himself, he should assume everyone else is the bad guy.
Lupus Rufus" post="455823991 said:Speaking as someone who was once afraid my desire to trans was "merely a fetish," I gotta say that fetishists who actually do transition are just as "legitimately" trans as anyone else. There was a quote from Nevada, i think towards the beginning of the book IIRC, about one of the main character's "realizations" was "The only time i felt comfortable with my body was when I dressed up and jacked off" or something like that. *is too lazy to find the exact quote right now*.
To me, it's not surprising that the things a person might initially do in a sexual context by yourself, tells you a little bit about the things that make you feel happy and comfortable. I mean that book is basically transgender Catcher in the Rye (for better or worse) but it had a lot of really honest and frank insights. I read it when I was really depressed last year and it actually resonated with me a great deal, the idea of being trans but still struggling to find your place in the world and being a little jaded about it. I'm not saying it's always good to base life decisions on a "fetish," but sometimes just opening up and realizing there's a bit more to this "fetish" than you originally thought can be helpful in finding breakthroughs. But everyone takes their own path to being trans, and I can't really see any particular paths as "illegitimate." Even the trans women who hang out with TERFs and will happily harass other "weird" trans women, they aren't any less trans than me and I'd never delegitimize their identity as an insult. I can just block them and move on (usually; i haven't had any experiences further than that when it comes to horizontal hostility)
Somethingawful is a jihad of shit against the internet.I know they already have their own thread, but I'd like to remind people that Nyberg was a Something Awful troon.

jiffypop45" post="458163353 said:A few weeks ago I posted about how I didn't feel entirely comfortable with my budding after a few more weeks of time to think I've reached a point where I'm starting to feel uncomfortable with several areas of my transition.
In an almost dysphoric sense, I don't feel as though my breasts (that are getting larger) belong, it's to the point that I'm wearing a tight fitting under armour athletic shirt under my daily wear top to prevent them from showing and make me feel a bit flatter.
I'm very much bothered by what's going on down stairs, I feel like everytime I go to masturbate I get very panicked and feel like "maybe this time it won't work" it's really frustrating to masturbate, and I feel like I have to force myself to do it and because of that it's very difficult to get started doing so.
The strange part of this though is that I do greatly enjoy my softening skin, and how it's affecting to my hair growth due to the dropped T. I'm working on voice stuff, and working on making my mannersms as feminine as possible where they aren't already. This has mostly slowing down my speech and using pitch instead of volume for inflection as well as just raising the pitch as much as I can, my "deep voice" is around 80hz so I've got a bit to go.
I've always wished I looked much more feminine, and thought I genuinely wanted to be a woman. However, losing my penis functionality and the lack of excitement over breast growth has me doubting this. So far I haven't really felt an great surge of "OH MY GOD ESTROGEN. YES!!!!!!" that people mention either at about ~45 days on.
I discussed this with my therapist and she has a feeling that I may not be a transwoman, that she could definitely see me as a nonbinary/genderqueer/etc... person just very feminine. That makes me uncomfortable, I've never liked that idea, even if in some ways it might describe how I'm feeling. For now I'm not going to contact my doctor to change my doses as I hope maybe my feelings will resolve in the near future. I am really worried to the point of brief bouts of anxiety and tears at times though, so I do feel as though I need some resolution here.
It takes a special kind of moron to continue doing the thing that he discovered is making him miserable solely due to peer pressure telling him to do so.[Story of Jiffypop45]
Jiffypop45 is the troon I mentioned earlier who is continuing to be fucked into a transition he realized he doesn't want. The forums convinced him to go therapist-shopping until he found someone who'd approve HRT, and the results are as you'd expect! Rather than a write-up, I think a post directly from the horse's mouth is the most appropriate:
As far as I know, he's still on HRT.
