What are your opinions on using transgender vs using transexual? Ive been seeing more trans feminine people use transexual to refer to themselves these days and I thought I had it figured out but im confused. Originally, how i saw it was transphobic dolls trying to distance themselves from the rest of the transgender community at large. But the more i read about trans theory and talk to trans women, im finding more and more "cool" trans women calling themselves transexuals. What am I missing?

I had a friend post his channel and say that he likes his content. I know that youtube history is often an alt right pipeline, so im wondering if anyone else has looked into this guy? I dont see anyone really calling him out online but he might just be not popular.

I can watch the videos myself and come up with an opinion but theyre over 2 hours long so id rather not.

My only yellow flag so far is that he has a book with 88 in the name. But thats not enough proof for me.

I finished this book a while ago and it really blew my mind. I'm a trans woman and it completely changed my understanding of my own gender and my understanding of gender as a concept. It's given my a new understanding of the ways I may have been perpetuating harm and ways to change for the better. It was just a life changing read for myself and my cis wife as well.

My question is why don't I see this opinion more frequently in the world? I've almost never heard someone use the term effemamania even though it feels so accurate to what's going on so often. I googled it and I don't see much real critique of it other than a single reddit post. Is there some big problem with the book that makes it not actually a good book that I'm missing? Or is it just more or less ignored for some reason?

Also if anyone else has read it I'd love to hear your thoughts too. Sorry if this is the wrong comm.

Yesterday the Michigan Police ran a man over to kill him for fleeing from them. Rumors around town on social media are that they pinned him against the wall with their cruiser.

I love playing videogames with people but the further I get in my transition, the less I have in common with my old friends. So I was wondering if there are cool public queer discord servers or is there a hexbear gaming discord? If not, would there be interest in that? I've played project zombie with a handful of hexbearers and it's been fun. I don't know if this is a weird question to ask.

We've got a bunch of new people now so let's bring back a classic post. What low stakes conspiracy theory do you believe that you cannot prove but feels right to you?

I'll start: I believe that dating apps have made a concerted effort to smear in person meeting people and tie it to being "creepy" through social media so you are forced to meet people online(which was the creepy option just 15 years ago)

I don't know if it's possible because of the importance of opsec but would there be interest in a periodic outfit of the day thread? I've seen a few posts popping up and around that people don't know how to dress anymore and it might be a way to help.
