All I will say and I think Corpse will agree with me is after you are transitioning long enough you begin to recognize the various varieties of trolling. It takes a while but eventually you learn. Some are so subtle that I honestly don't think if I had not been transitioning for a while I would be able to recognize them at all. But nevertheless its "the troll that wears the halo" that are often the hardest to detect. I do think speaking about trolls and trolling is a valid topic for a trans forum because IT HAPPENS SO MUCH against trans people. Leaning the subtleties of trans trolling is important to understanding what we deal with on sometimes a daily basis. I think what can seem as varying personalities is nothing more than once the subtle troll pushes things too far (one personality) they try to play innocent (other personality) so that they can restore their camouflage and return to their subtle trolling. Often people that are struggling with their faith but deep down feel something going on related to these issues tend to be the most problematic. The classic example of the super homophobic congressman that is trying to pass all the legislation gets caught with the male intern.

I get that. When I was a kid I used to think that every gay person was always going to be attracted to every other gay person, because yeah life works that way right? lol

not being the the worst. I grew up in a very religious, conservative, family in Texas. They are very judgmental and controlling. Basically the worst kind of family one could have being LGBTQ+. I honestly don't care at all. Maybe this makes me a bad trans but I just assume the gender I see unless told otherwise. This is why I put so much work into transitioning. I put the burden of getting gendered correctly out in public on myself.

Denial lol. I had assumed it would feel more obvious to me if I were trans and assumed that everyone that was trans, that for them it had been super obvious.

Once again getting back on topic. If anyone has questions about what its like to be trans, or how one realizes they are, or is genuinely confused about this topic and wants clarification please feel free to ask away. :-)

Thank you! I'm not going to play the the troll anymore.

One unexpected side effect of being trans is I've learned a lot about trolls. I've noticed there's two basic kinds. There's the blatant trolls that just say things like you'll never be a woman. And then there's the subtle trolls who are kind of sneaky about it and then when you confront them about being a troll they play innocent. Like the kind that suggest maybe if you were more spiritual you wouldn't be infected with this trans disease. LOL

That's a tricky question to answer at the moment because I've been doing tons of Zhunti mantra recently to try to save my business and that always seems to bring up every single existential crisis one can possibly have but on the other hand my business is doing better since I started doing it regularly again lol. But in general in spite of the fact that my family stopped talking to me I would say I'm more comfortable with myself that I have ever been in my life. Previously I always have this underlying inexplicable discomfort that I just assumed everybody had and then once I accepted who I was that went away.

Hahaha you're allowed to have opinions and post them. The examples of things that were not questions that I posted were basically trolling. I'm not doing this to be trolled. But I don't mind if you have opinions and share them because you're clearly not a troll.

To get this post back on track allow me to reiterate that this is a question and answer about transgender issues. Questions about my (or any other transgendered person that want to share) experiences or questions about transgender issues in general are welcome as long as they are sincere. This is not however a transgendered statement post. Statements like "you'll never be a woman" or "just get enlightened instead" are not questions.

It has not been sorted and thank you! I haven't actually been asked a question about my experience for quite a while. It kind of devolved into a few individuals seeming from my point of view to want to undermine my experience.

You sound like my mom when I was trying to get out of going to school as a kid LOL.

What was the outcome of the lawsuit? 😂

projecting a bit maybe? lol (since you're posting a response on a public forum and all)

What if one does not believe in God? Or a Universal mind?

who's illuminated mind?

To the mouse that is trying to get the cheese to eat the cat seems evil because the cat is trying to kill it. To the cat the mouse that is trying to steal its owners cheese is evil. Who's truth is THE TRUTH?

who's truth?

So what you're saying is if someone isn't feeling that good about themselves its normal to want to take measures to feel better? I'm sure its a very transformative experience. :-)

Winning and loosing is a very competitive view point. Competition arises from ego. Ego is unenlightened. Why not just become enlightened instead?

of course, of course

^this^ !!!

I'm starting to think he's playing dumb and just trying to be a slick troll.

I have a sincere question that I mean respectfully, but are you on the spectrum for autism? The reason I ask is because the only time I've ever really gotten into a circular argument with somebody that makes up their own term and then insists that it be used is with people that are on the spectrum. I'm just wondering so I would have a better understanding of where you're coming from?
