  • Being post-op doesn’t change shit for trans women when it comes to hook ups or even meeting people. Transphobes will do it regardless. Transphobes will see you as a man regardless. Everyone in the trans community is inescapably aware of this. People who are not transphobes will have no issue seeing you as a woman regardless of your equipment.

    I’ve seen comments/posts from stealth trans people talking about keeping it a secret. There was a post recently on one of the comms where they mentioned their hookup partner said her cervix felt weird (because she doesn’t have one). I’ve certainly gotten the idea that such is achievable for some people. My impression is also that snip-snip memes are also far more common than memes celebrating the rejection of bottom surgery. There certainly can be an implied peer pressure, even when people are just talking about their own personal experiences and not implying some universal truth. Unfortunately, imposter syndrome is really common and could lead to overcompensation (such as seen in transfems who have a hyperfeminine phrase right after cracking and transfems who go through a hypermasculine phase right before cracking).

    I’ve never tried taking any of the steps towards getting surgery, but is it really that impossible that Martha didn’t at least mostly believe she wanted it during the lead-up? Honestly, I hope they’re not as bad as you make it sound. Surgery is scary regardless of what kind, so there’s no way I’d ever not express some level of doubt for that reason alone. Also feel like I’d be so embarrassed about the topic that it would be difficult to convey a sense of confidence that its something I wanted.

    NSFW?

    Lastly, the idea that you can no longer touch yourself after bottom surgery, jack off to porn, or feel yourself is absurd.

    Jackoff is generally specifically used for something you do with a penis. Jilling would be the equivalent for a vagina. Also, if you don’t have your penis or balls, you can’t touch them. I think you’re misunderstanding what was said there. The idea that they’re equivalent seems absurd; part of the reason I’d want bottom surgery is because I want to change how I interact with the hardware sexually instead instead of trying to split the fantasy apart from the physical actions. That said, perhaps having fantasies that don’t match the hardware is something Martha could work on?




  • The question is whether they will face any consequences for their actions.

    Given how old Trump is, probably not any clear consequences. Perhaps if America continues what its doing, eventually some of the people involved today will face consequences of their actions.

    Like the consequences other countries face when they do the stuff America is doing right now.

    Stuff like having oil and not being a vassal? Its clearly not based them doing awful things to people, otherwise we’d be bombing places like Israel instead of providing them bombs. Anyways, probably not. Nukes are at least a deterrent against direct aggression…

    Or will it be back to normal as soon as the regime changes. Will there be any lasting effects in how the world deals with US?

    I’d love to believe so. Its disheartening seeing how much W. Europe and Australia have been on-board with all of this though, but we’ll see if that changes over time. They’re still working on becoming more independent of the US and that will take some time. I’d be cool if it disrupted US relations with GCC states and further downgraded the role USD as the petrodollar (and/or a renewed push to become less dependent on fossil fuels). It’ll be interesting to see the consequences of going through many years of military supply production in a couple weeks
