Experiences with Transexuals in the Real World

[Techpriest]

I was an aquantance of one in high school. He was pretty up front about wanting to transition later on but for the most part preferred talking about shit like Magic the Gathering and nuclear physics.

I don't know if I've met any irl, but I'm convinced one of my guildies is one. They've got this weird, coached quality in their voice that makes me think voice therapy. They're good at the game and there's never been any tumblr bullshit but it always surprises me when she (I think?) talks.

 

[AnOminous]

This thread is almost like I met my first nigger today and he didn't smoke crack, bug out his eyeballs, steal my car and then rape and murder me.

Seriously, no shit!

Most people are pretty fucking normal, even from groups you hate.

There's a reason lolcows are actually exceptional.

My best friend dated an FtT and 'he' was your standard FtT gayboi. He cheated constantly, hated women (he loved to brag about how he wasn't like 'typical women' with a sneer) and drank like a fish. Of course he was also charming and talented in his chosen field so it was really a mixed bag. Finally my friend had enough and dumped him. He reacted by exploding on social media and tried to turn their mutual friends against her.

I went to highschool with a MtT and an FtT. The MtT was a hyper sexual wreck who is now an escort, and the FtT has since detransitioned. She can't talk to her former friends because if you detransition, the tranny community regards you as a traitor. She hangs out with other detrans women and they aren't allowed to show their faces in the local legbutt community because they're the enemy now.

I got to know another FtT and dropped her because once we got drunk she started talking about how lolicon and toddlercon was totally healthy and normal. This person did a lot of coke. I stopped hanging with them.

Now most of my friends are normie gays who were right to give trannies the side eye.

My first meeting with an IRL transperson was very similar to this. This person was on HRT and could not pass.
The person in question was also under the impression that they could pass very well and that they looked better than most women, and they also thought most straight men wanted to sleep with them. Very flamboyant and believed they could pull off being a woman better than a real woman.

 

[DumbDosh]

There was a guy who supervised a group of apartment coordinators in my college who told everyone seriously that he was trans and non gender binary. Dude was just a tall regular black guy with a high pitched voice though and dressed male work casual all the time though, and it was very obvious he was born as a guy.

I travel a lot and I've met a handful. Some pass, others don't, but what I've consistently noticed is that they're just trying to make their way in the universe. The loopy ones that are all over the Internet are the unfortunate exception, because they can't stop flinging shit at everyone else for being "cis het scum."

 

[Philosophy Zombie]

Disagree. Defining feature of being a tranny is self-disgust for one's natural body. If you think someone who is primarily motivated by self-hatred is 'perfectly reasonable' you're almost as exceptional as a the trenders.

it's the opposite, actually. if you are a sane and rational person you should loathe yourself #theredpill

 

[Critter]

First time I met a trans person was when waiting for my bus. They interrupted a conversation I was having with an acquaintance and I immediately started getting weird/bad vibes. They made no attempts to pass at all, so I originally thought they were just some weirdo guy, until they suddenly started talking about how hard it was to be a transwoman surrounded by Mormons and how no one accepts them. Also claimed to be one of the children of Warren Jeffs. Dude wouldn't leave me alone despite my attempts to end the conversation after a while.
I don't think I was ever as happy to have my bus arrive in my life.

This thread is almost like I met my first Google today and he didn't smoke crack, bug out his eyeballs, steal my car and then PineTar and murder me.

Seriously, no shit!

This.

This whole thread could be summarized by "people are people." Every general grouping of people is going to have well adjusted people and weirdos, and generally the weirdos are the ones you hear the most about because people don't often discuss normal well adjusted people. That doesn't detract from the fact that an overwhelming majority of people in every group of people is going to just be normal.

I've learned that is incredibly easy for many to generalize an entire group of people based on one experience or some ridiculous crap they've seen on social media, especially if it's part of some outlandish group you already find weird. Negative traits recollected will inevitably be exaggerated when they may exist just as much in places you find normal. It is easier to lump others in to categories rather than considering the individual.

also when the topic of trannies comes up you get a lot of sperging and for some reason a lot of pretend doctors

 

[Surtur]

Every transperson I have met so far has been lovely. Again, this site exists to document the exceptional ones.

 

[PetalPinkPuppy]

Every transperson I've met outside of the internet has been calm, rational, maybe quirky in a way but not a lolcow and complete devoid of SJW buzzwords and cis hate. One ended up converted by the cult of Stophie though

 

[Tragi-Chan]

I've met a few. Most were pretty chill as far as I could tell. In general they'd transitioned in later life, though, so probably the need to flail around for attention was behind them.

There's one, the brother of a friend, who is fine to talk to but evidently has some serious issues - he transitioned fully, then decided he didn't like being a woman either, did the gender non-binary thing for a while and now is back to male again (but sans genitals).

There's one who transitioned from male to female where it seems to have done her good, in that she's much more confident and less uptight. The only thing is that she's got into theatre and has since started a blog about being trans, and I'm slightly worried that she's going to go full Tumblr.

 

[2F5L5XG]

I have met a few FtMs and they all pretty much fit the insecure Tumblroid fat girl stereotype to a tee.
Fucking multiple men even though they claim to be gay and shouting rape when it comes to light, getting offended if you don't refer to then by whatever they have changed their name or pronoun to this week, acting like everything a male says is a challenge, etc.

The few MtF I have met have been pretty chill.

 

[Vitriol]

New "TRANNIES ALL HATE THEMSELVES AND ARE INCAPABLE OF LIKING THEMSELVES THEY'RE ALL DISEASED!"
"edit: C'MON FAGS DEBATE ME"

"Trannies have free will"

"ARE YOU MAD LAWL ECKSDEE. I WASN'T SAYING THEY WERE BAD PEOPLE I WAS JUST SAYING THAT THEY'RE ALL BAD PEOPLE."

There are a number of posts in the previous page that hover pretty close to the edge of what i consider civil. This is the worst of them but id like the thread to take this as a general warning to discuss like adults.

 

[neverendingmidi]

I've met one. And hoo-boy was he (she?) a weird one.

First off, I met this person in the military. He intoduced himself to the department I worked in when he was new, and the first info he gave me and the rest of my co-workers was that he was planning on attending a big furry convention that was in the same state. This was in the early 2000s.

So he's a furry.

Second, after he'd been there a while, one of the other guys warned me that he had his laptop's desktop pic set to cycling pictures of me. And most of them were apparently candids that I didn't know he was taking. After that I began actively avoiding him as possible.

So he's a stalker.

Though I avoided him, some of the people I was friends with were friends with him. We go out one night and he's dressed in drag. Now this guy was not a particularly attractive specimen as a man, think Tommy Lee Jones mixed with Phil (better hygene than Phil, only because the guys tended to beat the shit out of people who didn't keep clean in berthing), and fake boobs and makeup did not help. I found out he was planning on reenlisting to get the bonus to save for surgery.

So he's a transwoman

I didn't have much interaction with him after that, I left the military. But damn, everything I learned about him had skeevy written all over it.

Power level thingy-ma-bob:

Working in the medical field, I've met quite a few. Most of them are on par with Phil and his ilk but the ones I knew as a kid (my uncle, who was basically my father figure, did drag and was very involved with the LGBTQ community so there were always characters in my life) were really amazing people.
That was pre-internet. I think correlation may equal causation here. Watching the internet and people's evolution through it has been a weird, dark mirror. I've been spectating from the POV from early on, trolling MySpace blogs with Mantana, Oshay, and others and creaming DA, Angel Fire, etc and it just keeps getting worse. Hahaha They say the trolls are bad but it's what the trolls dig up on "normal" people that's way worse. /Rambling

 

[Rabbit-san]

Spoiler: Gonna pop a powerleveling warning up in here just in case

Most trans people I've experienced meeting in person have been varied. I've have the pleasant ones that are normal and just want to chat about stuff that they're interested in to touching near crazy level that are documented here on the farms. I had one obsessed with wanting all cis people to die and being scum to another being waaay off his head, relying on drugs 24/7, saying he could see into the future and shit.

It's just the roll of the dice really with what personality and types you'll come across in the walk of life. Just my two cents on the matter.

 

[Daughter of Cernunnos]

My sister's friend's sister is a total girly girl from a rich family with 5 kids and only one boy. She considers herself trans and has talked about starting hormones. She gets her mum to take her to LGBTQ pride parades. She is friendly and artistic, maybe a little bit unconventional/alternative. Too bad she didn't grow up in a time when a kid outside of the norm would go into some alt community rather than be encouraged into delusional beliefs that don't serve the best interests of their mental and physical health. Maybe she has a bad home life I don't know about though, I know her uni professor father was discovered to be cheating on their mum so he has been kicked out and the whole family feels betrayed and hurt.

 

[Vitriol]

Just for future reference pwerlevel warnings arent a thing. Either something is relevent andi teresti g or a selfindulgent tangent.

Ive given moderation warnings for powerleveling under spoilers before, it really doesnt protect you at all.
