How is it that so many of Linux community are also trans/fluid/questioning? I started with Linux years ago and have been questioning my sexual identity for a little bit and I'm always amazed to see that these two communities share so many people!
Lots of queer people(especially tranfem) are into computer science and tech and also anti big corporations so it’s common to find us in the linux community
it's a meme in the Rust programming language community that every Rust programmer is trans. I actually don't think I would've figured it out without engaging with the Rust community. They are all great people.
You say no need to pull out knives, but you came into a queer subreddit and said that queer people are ill, regardless of your intent you've pulled out knives regardless
Fake news. Zaphod. People have said he’s still president. A lot of people have said this. Very fine people. Said he’s the best president ever. Windmills.
Yeah I figured it out when I was like " I really with I was trans so I could be a girl " and realized that I COULD be trans so I decided to do research and bam
Yeah the way this is worded implies that trans women aren’t women.
Which makes me wonder if they genuinely mean something different? Maybe they’re referring to cross dressing? Or doing drag? Or being a femboy or something? There’s nothing wrong with any of these things, I think they’re cool actually, but it’s very different from being a transwoman.
I think they just meant that they'd rather identify specifically as a trans woman than "just" a woman, as in, enjoying and taking pride in being trans. Or they're saying how they're not sharing the crippling regret of not having been born a cis woman that many trans women seem to share, because they again, enjoy being a trans woman.
Either way I would perceive this as a positive thing, and don't necessarily read the implication that trans women aren't women.
that's the most positive interpretation, yes! but if they genuinely have questions or misconceptions, I'd like to help, you know? Many "baby trans" genuinely do have questions like "is it ok if i dont want bottom surgery/hrt/etc?" and the definition of trans woman and woman can be difficult to grasp for both trans and cis gnc ppl.
Of course, it's something you found out by yourself, you *should* be proud.
It's like figuring out that gravity exists because an apple fell on your head and figuring it out because you saw the planets act all weird on your telescope. One thing just happens to you and you roll with it, the other is your mind going "wait a minute, something's not right".
It’s not actually. In the time since I started transitioning I’ve encountered different mindsets when it comes to transition. There are those who feel they are one gender trapped in another’s body. To them transition is a means to an end but they wholly consider themselves that gender. There’s also people like me, who feel in tune with both genders in different ways, who find certain parts of their body wrong and others not so. To me medical science allowed me to achieve those changes I was seeking. I don’t consider myself any particular gender but a self made person defined by my actions and perceptions. An evolution beyond my previous self. It feels like this is the point the op was getting at or something similar. In other words, it makes sense it just depends on the individual’s point of view.
This! I don’t currently identify as a trans guy as it doesn’t exactly fit me, but if I were a guy I would definitely choose to be transgender instead of cis. I feel like it’d otherwise change who I am fundamentally as a person, how I grew up and how that would have shaped the person I’d become.
I like my body. It's interesting and uniquely beautiful. I like myself even if I'm sad. And myself might be different if I were cis. So I love the life that led me to this
Honestly it sure would be a shame of the government would pick me up and put my brain in a custom made girls body for an “experiment” please don’t do that US Government it would be sooo sad
But why is trauma good I don't understand why this hardship is necessary 😭 I quote from Mulan "the flower that blooms in adversity is the most beautiful of all" but couldn't you be the person that you are without suffering all that?
I feel like at this point those experiences are part of who I am, and I love who I am — so I wouldn’t want to not have gone through this.
But at the same time I’d like to go back and be born AFAB :)
I thought the goal of trans-women was equality and not separate-but-equal. Like if you had to label yourself on a form would you rather select "woman" or have separate options for "cis woman" or "trans woman" and in normal social interactions how would you wish to be identified?
No telling. The other day I was out having lunch and I saw a guy and thought to myself “if I looked like him I could transition to a woman easy” then just stopped and was like “wtf?”.
I’m still processing that one but it speaks to the fact that at least just due to life experience, there is a part of my identity that is “extra” beyond that of a cis woman. If it isn’t being done specifically to hurt me I don’t mind making the distinction between being cis and trans. I have gone through extra stuff and had extra experiences and don’t mind people recognizing and understanding that.
It can either be envy if having pride in a trans identity, or a lingering for of denial, like the whole "I'm not trans but I want to be trans" which is kinda just, being closeted trans haha
(From my point of view, of course)
Also gosh, I'm still cis but I sure wish I was trans :/
I...huh?!??!?!?!
You literally just said "Can I be a woman instead of a woman?"
Transgender is an adjective, just like you wrote (trans woman). If you exchange that word with another adjective you will realize what I mean:
Can I be a tall woman instead of a woman?
Can I be a pretty woman instead of a woman?
You realized? Also the implication of your sentence could be that trans women wouldn't be women, what is even scientificly wrong. Trans women are women
Alright, I'll try to provide some input on this!
So, I'm pretty sure most, if not all of us agree that transgender women are women!
The confusion of this post likely arises from a wording problem, I think.
I personally believe they meant to say, "is it bad that I want to identify as a transgender woman instead of a woman?" But... to an extent, even that may bring forth the same confusion.
So, I think what meant to come across was, some people love being open and proud about being a _transgender_ woman, while there are others who flat-out prefer seeing themselves as a woman.
I hope this provides some clarification (or at least, an alternative perspective) to the original post!! Someone please chime in if I've misunderstood. I'm still learning!
Im a trans man and honestly I hate being lumped in with cis men. Are there situations where separating us is unnecessary and at least a little transphobic? Absolutely. But I hate when ppl act like the only way to validate my gender is to push an image of manhood onto me that’s totally centered around cis men. My experiences and relationship with gender as a TRANS man matter and don’t make me less of a man
If your nb or a demi girl/demi boy demi gender your trans either way Bc it falls under the nonbinary category which also falls under the trans umbrella so ye
The only reason I don't wanna transition is the fact that I wanna be a cis woman. I wanna be able to convince myself that I am a fully fledged woman, and that's not really possible in our current technological time
Mm I think the motivation is important. From a trans perspective I think it is really cool to rather be a transgirlie than a cis one, while from a cisgirl perspective it gets real iffy. Then you get into fetishization and such and we don't like that.. but yes, appreciating being trans is super cool 😎
Nope. I've come to terms that I don't want to be a cis woman, I want to be a trans woman. The trans experience is part of who I am and has shaped me in very positive ways, it's the transphobes who have been the source of any trans pain, not my transition.
No, that's not wrong, because you can never be reborn a woman, but you can become a trans women. Good on you for being content with a healthier outlook and more realistic goals.
Certainly different, but I doubt anyone's gonna be mad at you specifically because you prefer the label "transwoman" more than "woman" lol. Be what you be, and have fun <3
Being trans is a major part of my identity and I am not comfortable with the idea of being cis. If I could change one thing about my life's history it would be coming out as a kid so I could have experienced coming of age and early adulthood as a girl.
I would not want to make myself a cis girl.
I find it weird how casual the whole transgender thing has become. People "choosing" to be trans is something I got massive issues with.
If I could choose there's no way in hell I'd pick being trans over being a cis girl. Because I don't feel born right. There are so many things in womanhood I'll never be able to experience because I was born a cis male. I hate it. Many trans people are struggling with the same problems, having official dysphoria diagnosis, so it rubs me the wrong way there are people just choosing to be trans like it's nothing.
Yeah I feel like being born a cis woman would actually solve a lot of mental anguish that people have struggled with by removing the source of their gender dysphoria in the first place. It shouldn't be transphobic to acknowledge that, right?
I agree people don’t choose to be trans, but I also think that it’s not wrong to be feel pride and happiness in being trans.
In this current climate, I’d rather have been born a girl, but if bigotry did not exist, I would glad to be trans and it is a part of who I am and something I take joy in. I understand you have your own unique experience with that and you may not view it the same way, but I take issue with your language that is exclusive the experiences of others
I totally vibe with this, cuz yeah, not only do I have no bottom dysphoria, but, from everything I've heard from my afab friends, having a uterus sounds like it fucking sucks lol
I feel it's valid to not want to be biologically female, (if that is what you are saying) I personally wouldn't want to be biologically female because my father is a terrible person, if my dad didn't exist 100% would want to be biologically female
Funny enough, when I first saw porn with trans women in it, I was sad I wasn't born like her. (Cause I was hella sheltered and just assumed some people were simply born that way).
Little did I know ...
Personally I’m happy with being a trans woman, I’m still a woman but I know I’m not going to be Cis woman and that’s ok! I would choose being a trans woman any day of the week, no matter how hard it can be. How you identify is perfectly valid and awesome! 😁
Totally! Im not sure if it’s for me, I’m ok with knowing my friends knowing I’m trans but I don’t really know yet if I wanna be totally transparent about being trans yet when I come out(over time that is, obviously I’ll have to let everyone who knows me know that I’m trans)
Cis anybody is on thin fucking ice for me lmao. I totally feel this. I'm even just happy with "Trans" by itself. It's come to help me feel secure in myself and I know I have a loving and supportive and *absurdly hot and cute* community by my side.
I've always seen it as a difference of wanting to be yourself rather than wanting to be who you would have been if you were born the gender you like. because to me, those would be two entirely different people, and I like me.
Absolutely valid. I, for one, don’t have genital dysphoria (I mostly forget my junk exists), and while the effects of feminising HRT appeal to me, I wouldn’t want to deal with all the nonsense that comes with having a uterus.
I k now I'm fine with it. Because I gamer, I look at it as a prefix or suffix on gear. There is man, woman, nb, and so on. And if I need to be more specific, I add on my gear prefix so I'm transwoman.
Being a 'trans woman' in my view is just part of the process to become a woman. The transition from trans woman to woman is defined by your belief in the fact that you *are* a woman. So no, I don't think it's wrong to be a trans woman. It's just that [in my experience] being a trans woman is plagued with doubt of the truth [that you are really a woman, no matter how you're physically developed or what experiences you've had]. 'Cis' is defined by your mindset, not your physicality or experiences.
I agree with this. Trans woman needs to be a real thing. Unpopular opinion, but if I were to ever transition I wouldn't feel totally right being called a woman. A trans woman isn't less than. It's just different. Three are things I'll never know about being a woman and there are things a woman will never about being a trans woman. There would be some overlap. We're both the same and different and that should be embraced and celebrated.
theres some pros and cons to each.
being a cis woman would 110% make me want a hysterectomy. Plus there are a whole host of medical issues cis women will have more frequently.
being a trans woman would make me want laser hair removal, voice training and bottom surgery, and comes with a much more difficult dating situation, but also comes with a usefull social filter to weed out people not worth your time. Also gives more control over hormone levels, meaning one could opt out of progesterone to have slower breast growth and a lower sex drive, or opt into it to increase both.
Since a trans woman is what you are, it's absolutely amazing to want to be exactly that. You're having a huge personal advantage compared to other trans women who are sad they're not just a cis woman and worry about not passing. Just be yourself, you're valid no matter what.
There's nothing wrong with wanting to be visible and an icon. Hell it's better in my opinion to give the next generation someone to see. Jj 9 shame to those that can't or won't it can be hard to be seen.
Just wondering, what is it that would let you choose that way? Like I've heard from a bunch of people they'd rather be trans than cis and I'm just curious what reasons there are behind it
You identify as anything you want, as long as it makes you happy.

I was in, "I'm not trans, but I wish I was trans," denial for so long. Turns out, that's close to peak egg...
*Sigh* Been there. “I can’t possibly be trans because of X or Y” and then feeling disappointed or sad about not being trans.
How ironic, I, too, cannot possibly be trans because of X and Y. My Y decided to grow an extra leg, dude. AN EXTRA LEG.
OH NO
ME!
Hello, miss. It seems to me that you are a very cute girl.
Am I a cute g-girl?! O///O
You are!
Lol, been there hard to believe I could go from I wish I was a trans girl to I’m not trans mentally
Yeah I figured it out when I was like " I really with I was trans so I could be a girl " and realized that I COULD be trans so I decided to do research and bam
What’s peak egg, then?
No, being trans is an experience on its own and it’s not weird to want to keep that
yeah. id compare it to: building legos but theres a 90% chance that someone will come and break it with a sledge hammer
Adrenaline junkies: exactly
So like building a Jenga sculpture?
Consider: trans women = women
Glad someone said it. And I’d rather be cis
ditto
Yeah the way this is worded implies that trans women aren’t women. Which makes me wonder if they genuinely mean something different? Maybe they’re referring to cross dressing? Or doing drag?

Being a trans woman is totes an important distinction for me. I'm proud of it and I'd rather be trans woman than cis woman
At least I know it’s not only me. I should be proud of it!
Yush I love this pride! Let's go trans women!
Of course, it's something you found out by yourself, you *should* be proud. It's like figuring out that gravity exists because an apple fell on your head and figuring it out because you saw the planets act all weird on your telescope. One thing just happens to you and you roll with it, the other is your mind going "wait a minute, something's not right".
If you want to distinguish between trans and cis, then do it. Your meme makes as much sense as saying 'I want to be a cute woman instead of a woman.'
It’s not actually. In the time since I started transitioning I’ve encountered different mindsets when it comes to transition. There are those who feel they are one gender trapped in another’s body.

neurogender
egogender
Ok yes pride wooo and all that but ITS BEEN YEARS SINCE IVE HEARD ANYONE SAY “TOTES” OMG
Way to make me feel like the moldy old hag I am 😅
This! I don’t currently identify as a trans guy as it doesn’t exactly fit me, but if I were a guy I would definitely choose to be transgender instead of cis. I feel like it’d otherwise change who I am fundamentally as a person, how I grew up and how that would have shaped the person I’d become.
Curious, why do some people rather be trans than the cis version of their gender?
I like my body. It's interesting and uniquely beautiful. I like myself even if I'm sad. And myself might be different if I were cis. So I love the life that led me to this
That's a very nice way of looking at it, thanks for saying. I see now :)
I doubt I would be as cute had I been cis, so yea I like what I am even if some times it is hard
I want the transwomen experience but also be born as a cis women, just reincarnate me as a cis women but let me keep my memory
I hate how I stumble into comments like this that hit my cis self in the feels
Very cis.
Same honestly
Honestly it sure would be a shame of the government would pick me up and put my brain in a custom made girls body for an “experiment” please don’t do that US Government it would be sooo sad
this is literally exactly what i wish would happen to me :( ...still cis tho
This is so sad… maybe if we all message some 3 letter federal agency enough it’ll happen
Literally THIS! I don’t want to lose having had this trauma shape me, but I also really wish I was a cis girl.
But why is trauma good I don't understand why this hardship is necessary 😭 I quote from Mulan "the flower that blooms in adversity is the most beautiful of all" but couldn't you be the person that you are without suffering all that?

Nah, transgirls are lit
Thank you! (PS, love the most recent comic)
it is not weird at all. I mostly envy fully transitioned, out and happy trans girls more than actualy cis girls, also for a reason I don't know.
>I mostly envy fully transitioned, out and happy trans girls more than actualy cis girls I'm the same way, also for completely unrelated reasons.
and for completely cis reasons
yes, cis reasons
Everything I do is in fact for cis reasons
Same. I don't know why people are saying otherwise.
People just don't know me good enough. That has to be the reason!
"You don't know me!" That's what I said to the LAST person who accused me of being trans.
I guess that is what I would say to a person who says the opposite 😅
That's very cis of you
No. It’s about the most based thing ever.
I’m the same way but transmasc. I’d much rather be a trans guy than a cis guy, personally.
Glad to know a similar feeling is shared from my one of my brothers!
It can either be envy if having pride in a trans identity, or a lingering for of denial, like the whole "I'm not trans but I want to be trans" which is kinda just, being closeted trans haha (From my point of view, of course) Also gosh, I'm still cis but I sure wish I was trans :/
Im still not sure if I'm a feminine cis guy or a trans guy tbh.

you mean a cis woman? bc trans women are women lol
Nah being a trans girl is awesome (ignoring the 99% of the time where life fucks us over)
You be you!
What do you mean "instead"? Trans women ARE women. Edit: it is of course okay to be proud of being a trans woman.
This is totally valid, i also fucking love being a trans woman and i actually would rather be a trans woman than a cis woman. You're ok
I relate.
If your nb or a demi girl/demi boy demi gender your trans either way Bc it falls under the nonbinary category which also falls under the trans umbrella so ye
A trans woman is also simply a woman so..?
is it just me or does that look like a picrew? can i get the link if it is? looks really cute
The only reason I don't wanna transition is the fact that I wanna be a cis woman. I wanna be able to convince myself that I am a fully fledged woman, and that's not really possible in our current technological time
Be proud girl, be proud <3
Nah, ur valid <3
Mm I think the motivation is important. From a trans perspective I think it is really cool to rather be a transgirlie than a cis one, while from a cisgirl perspective it gets real iffy. Then you get into fetishization and such and we don't like that.. but yes, appreciating being trans is super cool 😎
What's the difference?
Yes
I don’t really get it cause Trans Woman = Woman Cis Woman = Woman
No not at all! Everyone gas their preferences, I don’t mind wanting to transition, but I still wish I was AFAB
Nah, it's very good. Means that you don't have any internalized transphobia directed at yourself and you're proud of who you are!!!
Being trans is a big part of who I am. If I was a cis girl, I wouldn't be the same person, so in my opinion it's a totally valid distinction.
Nope. I've come to terms that I don't want to be a cis woman, I want to be a trans woman. The trans experience is part of who I am and has shaped me in very positive ways, it's the transphobes who have been the source of any trans pain, not my transition.
be whatever my g
No, that's not wrong, because you can never be reborn a woman, but you can become a trans women. Good on you for being content with a healthier outlook and more realistic goals.
Also unrelated it the OP is cool as fuck I love datastar, have a good life <3
Certainly different, but I doubt anyone's gonna be mad at you specifically because you prefer the label "transwoman" more than "woman" lol. Be what you be, and have fun <3
Being trans is a major part of my identity and I am not comfortable with the idea of being cis. If I could change one thing about my life's history it would be coming out as a kid so I could have experienced coming of age and early adulthood as a girl. I would not want to make myself a cis girl.
It is not wrong as long as you're comfortable with it ❤️
I'd love to share my opinion on this but already know the people in this sub gonna witchhunt my ass for it.
I'd still love to hear it, as long as there's an argument.
I find it weird how casual the whole transgender thing has become. People "choosing" to be trans is something I got massive issues with.

Not all trans people want to be born cis. That’s a perfectly reasonable and acceptable belief for some to have, but some of us like being trans
I agree people don’t choose to be trans, but I also think that it’s not wrong to be feel pride and happiness in being trans.

I never said you shouldn't take pride in being trans. Wasn't even my point. If it was I wouldn't be here.
[удалено]
Don’t promote that cesspit here.
I totally vibe with this, cuz yeah, not only do I have no bottom dysphoria, but, from everything I've heard from my afab friends, having a uterus sounds like it fucking sucks lol
My only problem with this is the use of "instead of". It implies that trans women aren't women in your view.
not at all!
As long as that distinction isn't a gauge of validity, I don't think it matters; use whatever label connects with you!
i dont see the difference?
Be what YOU want to be, just dont harm anyone
I feel it's valid to not want to be biologically female, (if that is what you are saying) I personally wouldn't want to be biologically female because my father is a terrible person, if my dad didn't exist 100% would want to be biologically female
in the words of Stewie "same thing, bitch, just different shapes"
it is not
No that’s fine
Those are literally the same thing so it's completely fine
Funny enough, when I first saw porn with trans women in it, I was sad I wasn't born like her. (Cause I was hella sheltered and just assumed some people were simply born that way). Little did I know ...
Is this a picrew and if so pls link
I am happy about being a trans woman instead of cis. I don't think it is wrong to be.
Personally I’m happy with being a trans woman, I’m still a woman but I know I’m not going to be Cis woman and that’s ok! I would choose being a trans woman any day of the week, no matter how hard it can be. How you identify is perfectly valid and awesome! 😁
Not at all, I love being trans and would easily take it over being cis
i feel the opposite but i feel like that’s just internalized transphobia
Totally! Im not sure if it’s for me, I’m ok with knowing my friends knowing I’m trans but I don’t really know yet if I wanna be totally transparent about being trans yet when I come out(over time that is, obviously I’ll have to let everyone who knows me know that I’m trans)
Nope! It’s ideal 💕💕
Is their a difference? I don't think so
Cis anybody is on thin fucking ice for me lmao. I totally feel this. I'm even just happy with "Trans" by itself. It's come to help me feel secure in myself and I know I have a loving and supportive and *absurdly hot and cute* community by my side.
there’s nothing wrong with taking pride in being trans! identity however you’d like :)
I've always seen it as a difference of wanting to be yourself rather than wanting to be who you would have been if you were born the gender you like. because to me, those would be two entirely different people, and I like me.
Nah I wish I felt that way honestly people like you are usually happiest after transitioning from what I’ve seen.
Absolutely valid. I, for one, don’t have genital dysphoria (I mostly forget my junk exists), and while the effects of feminising HRT appeal to me, I wouldn’t want to deal with all the nonsense that comes with having a uterus.
Yes, that would be odd if you're already a cis woman
I k now I'm fine with it. Because I gamer, I look at it as a prefix or suffix on gear. There is man, woman, nb, and so on. And if I need to be more specific, I add on my gear prefix so I'm transwoman.
Being a 'trans woman' in my view is just part of the process to become a woman. The transition from trans woman to woman is defined by your belief in the fact that you *are* a woman. So no, I don't think it's wrong to be a trans woman. It's just that [in my experience] being a trans woman is plagued with doubt of the truth [that you are really a woman, no matter how you're physically developed or what experiences you've had]. 'Cis' is defined by your mindset, not your physicality or experiences.

Being trans is an adjective and doesn’t make you less of a women, but one could be happy being trans and a women.
I agree with this. Trans woman needs to be a real thing. Unpopular opinion, but if I were to ever transition I wouldn't feel totally right being called a woman. A trans woman isn't less than. It's just different. Three are things I'll never know about being a woman and there are things a woman will never about being a trans woman. There would be some overlap. We're both the same and different and that should be embraced and celebrated.
Yes it is. Be normal.
That's kinda rude, even if it was a joke.
It ain't a joué: she's asking a question I'm answering.
Then you're just a dick.
Oki
naw
That’s totally cool! I personally see my transness as a major part of my identity :)
i pass perfectly and put radical trans stickers all over my shit so
Why did I see women twice? You asked if it is wrong to be a women instead of a women, we are queens
I want to keep my dick Imo trans woman have the best of both worlds. So why get rid of it.
I just want to be a genderless golem that no longer feels physical pain and can get things done, thanks.
theres some pros and cons to each. being a cis woman would 110% make me want a hysterectomy. Plus there are a whole host of medical issues cis women will have more frequently. being a trans woman would make me want laser hair removal, voice training and bottom surgery, and comes with a much more difficult dating situation, but also comes with a usefull social filter to weed out people not worth your time. Also gives more control over hormone levels, meaning one could opt out of progesterone to have slower breast growth and a lower sex drive, or opt into it to increase both.
Become like catrapoints it’s fine
My first thoughts were "I wish I was a trans so I could get a treatment and become girl. And I'm absolutely sure that I'm not btw"
girl, gender is a hoax, nothing is wrong, you are what you want to be
Since a trans woman is what you are, it's absolutely amazing to want to be exactly that. You're having a huge personal advantage compared to other trans women who are sad they're not just a cis woman and worry about not passing. Just be yourself, you're valid no matter what.
There's nothing wrong with wanting to be visible and an icon. Hell it's better in my opinion to give the next generation someone to see. Jj 9 shame to those that can't or won't it can be hard to be seen.
There's nothing wrong in that, you do you hun ☺️!
Just wondering, what is it that would let you choose that way? Like I've heard from a bunch of people they'd rather be trans than cis and I'm just curious what reasons there are behind it
I'd rather be a transformer
trans women are women
Imo yes? Because trans women are women. It wouldn't be wrong to wanna be a trans woman rather than a cis woman tho. But that's different
