So in the 2006 Nickelodeon film barnyard the main character Otis is a male cow however he has a utter as well as the other male cows in the movie

If you think about it there FTM cows

(Not sure if I’m offending anyone in this sub but if I am I’m deeply sorry for my post and I will be more careful next time)

I am scared for both myself and people like me. I am a bisexual male who is seriously considering transitioning, but with the way the internet and the current political climate views people within the LGBTQ as monsters because of some fanatics who don't even make up the majority of us, im wary. I dont want to live a life of lying to myself that im comfortable being a man, but i also dont want to put my life at risk by coming out and expressing myself by wearing womens clothing or possibly having a male partner. What stinks is that i also see trans women and femboys post things on instagram and the comments are a mix of support and straight up bullying, and while im intelligent enough to know that people who bully on the internet aren't worth listening to, it frightens me how many of them there are. Does anyone have any advice on how to ignore all this hate on us?

Help

I'm turning 14 on a couple of weeks and recently came out as a transgender woman to a couple of friends and I'm worried about telling anyone else or anyone finding out, I also haven't told my family, can I have some help/advice???

Basically my crush confessed to me a couple months ago and I told her I liked her but due to like timing and stuff we just stayed friends. Shortly after she wound up out of school for a long time. I’m thinking of asking her to be more than friends when she gets back, but I don’t want to overwhelm her on her first day. Should I wait?

Genuine question, can't believe im asking this but the tiktok gays r confusing me. And no im not talking about he/him lesbians, enby lesbians, trans mascs or trans women, im talking abt TRANS MEN?? Lesbianism has always been non man loving non man, i dont get why we are including men now. Sorry for the rant but i want serious, detailed answers

You know what’s exhausting? Being trans in “progressive” spaces and constantly having to fight to be believed. Not even celebrated, just believed. Just heard without being dissected, debated, or dismissed.

When I said I didn’t feel comfortable at a protest, I wasn’t accusing everyone there of being a bad person. I wasn’t even saying the event was bad. I was naming a feeling. One that exists in spite of intentions. One that comes from years of navigating the world as someone who doesn’t always get to blend in.

I shared one post about how I was feeling, and suddenly I’m “playing the victim,” “making it all about me,” or even “hurting the cause.” People want to know exactly what happened, exactly how it made me feel, exactly why they should care. Like my discomfort has to be defended in court.

That’s the reality of being trans in liberal spaces: everyone’s an ally until you say something inconvenient. Until your truth disrupts their comfort. Until you bring up the quiet ways people make you feel “other”, the stares, the awkwardness, the polite but distant energy that screams you don’t fully belong here.

That’s the part people don’t want to look at. Because it forces them to confront the fact that just showing up to a protest or having “good intentions” doesn’t make you immune from perpetuating exclusion. They want allyship to be all flags and marches and cute slogans. Not something that requires actual self-reflection. But when it comes to the actual lived experience of trans people, especially when it’s subtle, especially when it makes them examine their behavior, they shut down. They lash out. They call it “negativity.” As if my experience is an attack on their image of themselves.

But allyship isn’t about flags, or reposts, or being able to say, “I was there.” It’s about whether or not you treat trans people like full human beings when no one’s watching. It’s about whether you actually see us, or just tolerate us. Whether you listen when we say, “This made me uncomfortable,” or jump straight to invalidating us to protect your ego.

People like to say “we’re all on the same side,” but clearly that only applies when no one questions the group’s self-image. If trans people can’t even speak openly in supposedly safe spaces without being shut down, interrogated, or treated like an inconvenience, then what exactly are we fighting for?

We are living under an administration that is actively trying to dismantle our existence. Stripping our rights, banning healthcare, erasing our identities from public life. And yet, even in “liberal” spaces, we’re still made to feel like we don’t belong unless we shrink ourselves down, soften our truths, and swallow the thousand subtle cuts.

Let me be clear: calling something out doesn’t “hurt the movement.” Silencing the people you claim to stand with? That hurts the movement.

If this is what we’re expected to accept from “progressive” spaces, it’s no wonder so many of us feel like we’re fighting this alone.

I saw this video on TikTok awhile ago but it basically said you never hear of adults who recount their childhood expressing their parents were such toxic progressive people accepting of everyone and understanding of their feelings growing up that as soon as they became an adult, they cut their parents off, turned conservative and never looked back.

We mostly hear of the opposite: adults who cut off their conservative religious bigoted unaccepting parents/family and never looked back.

So interesting…

Wanted to put a hidden flag on my wall to represent myself. Nobody will ever know 🥸. (I hope!)

I think I'm a Demiboy. But I'm not sure, because I feel like I partially identifies with being a boy, but not fully, and I do not identify with other genders as well. I'm not sure if I'm really am a Demiboy. Can someone please tell me?

My little brother (m24) is growing more and more problematic or even bigoted every day. Whenever we try to discuss anything he always brings up that he thinks that the welfare state has made people lazy, (while he's getting money from the state and living with our parents.) He thinks that some cultures are just intrinsically worse than Swedish culture and that they have intrinsically worse values, and that there exists no class divides or conflicts. He says he values facts and sources above all else, but refuses to expand his views.

I (mtf28) tried to recently talk to him as candidly as I could about my willingness to transition, gender dysphoria, being trans and my depression.

He listened for a while, but soon interrupted and told me that this was all due to my depression. He told me there was no such thing as being trans because of my chromosomes and that people identifying as trans are mentally ill. I foolishly thought I could convince him by using sources like the Swedish Association for Sexuality Education, but he just dismissed it saying the sources I gave were biased.

It's gotten to the point where I don't want to interact with him and try to avoid him. I love him despite his flaws, but I feel more and more like I should somehow cut him out of my life, but I feel it would be very difficult.

Hi!! 19m gay/ace guy here!

So just over a week ago I posted that I got a job, and I got so much support. I feel so grateful to each and every person who commented.

Well the week was really crazy!

Was in work Monday and Tuesday, but Wednesday I had to go to hospital. I was in the waiting room from 6am to 6pm- just to be told it was a benign problem that wasn’t urgent (I was originally meant to stay for the whole night, but went home and came to an appointment the next day, where I was told that).

I’ll be honest, I didn’t cope well. My dad who I’m not close with and don’t view him as a father took me, and I’m ashamed to admit I had a meltdown. I had to leave the waiting room 4 times because I couldn’t calm down, and cried alone on a bench outside the hospital- because I thought the problem was serious, and also because it was too much and the hospital was really uncomfortable.

But I did it.

THEN the biggest thing happened. On Saturday (yesterday), I traveled by myself to visit a friend that in uni MULTIPLE HOURS AWAY. I went by train, and I can’t believe I did it.

For context, a year ago today, I wouldn’t have been able to travel 10 minutes away because of panic attacks and agoraphobia, but I traveled so far and even ATE FOOD there. It wasn’t much but I did it.

I cannot believe it. We had this trip planned for a month or so, but were both knowing that there was a low chance I would’ve gone, so we even planned to do something online in case I didn’t go. But I did.

I got up at 5am, and got to him at around 9:20am. We went to a cafe, went to the cinema, and then I went home and got back around 6pm.

This was only 2 DAYS after my meltdown of being in the hospital.

I cannot believe how much I’m doing. I cannot believe how far I’ve come.

Last year walking 5 minutes to the local store was sometimes too much. Last year 10 minutes in the car was too much. Last year it took me days to recover from an outing to anywhere local. This is the furthest I’ve traveled in 6 years.

sometimes I usually have friends by someone who are part of the LGBTQ community in Online like Roblox relatively, but in real life as an Asexual and Gay, I don’t have any friends who are part of it in real life but I know because I liked to be alone by myself peacefully but I hate being isolated when someone have befriends or be relationship with someone who are part of the community but for me I wish I could get attracted by boys or mens whatever
