Mentally Ill In Russia: You Cannot Drive

I've only ever met people who were "drag" as they called it and were very uncomfortable talking to a straight male about it except for the one who was like a mirror image of Tina Turner

Genetics, and how much of an effect male puberty has had are the major factors. Start between 13-18, and the effects will be identical to standard female puberty. 19-28, probably smaller than average, male skeletal growth will have already taken hold, so that will effect things, narrower hips, wider ribcage, broader shoulders (the latter two can make breasts appear smaller than they actually are). The older you start, the more diminished the effects will be. Results vary all across the board though.

I started HRT when I was 19, but my testosterone was already really low, well below the male range.

Is transgender the "generic" term for people that are cisgender and the other one I can't spell

No way in hell I could word that without sounding like a *** in my head

Cisgender means you identify with the sex you were born with.

Don't you watch South Park? lol

Gender dysphoria sorry I looked up some words just now im generally uninformed of these terms because I never bothered to learn em

Thus the questions

Cisgender means your gender identity matches the sex you were born as.

Transgender means your gender identity does not match the sex you were born as. The medical term for this is gender dysphoria.

Nothing negative, just thought South Park was popular.

Till like two years ago I know of drag queens and pre/post op transexuals due to rl encounters I never knew any such nuances etc. I am genuinely trying to understand here without my wife seeing some so-called taboo browsing history lol

Worst case if you get caught tell her you were feeling depressed about cancer and your mind wondered.

Just want to point out that drag queens are generally not a part of the transgender spectrum. Ditto to female impersonators or cross-dressers. Drag is a performance, typically dominated by gay men (and women these days), female impersonators tend to be comedic but also entertainment focused and often straight, and cross-dressing may or may not be a fetish activity. The words get a bit fluid.

A transgender person usually isn't dressing differently from their biological gender for anyone's entertainment and retains their trans-identified gender. A performer may be "she" on stage but, once the make-up and falsies come off, is back to "he." Though, again, very fluid stuff here that muddies the waters as these are trends rather than rules.

I've got a question for you, Ginny: Are you familiar with the cartoon show The Venture Brothers? There's a character that wavers all over the place in terms of being trans. For me, as a cis person, I actually don't think he's portrayed terribly (he's not mocked or denigrated when becoming female nor when reverting back, though there is deliberate comedy in retaining his stubble while living as a woman), but I wonder if the transgender community has a different perspective.

I know now that drag queens typically aren't transgender folk I was pretty much demonstrating my own ignorance of the subject lol once I smell knowledge I generally hunt it down like it owes me money

Dr girlfriend is awesome I don't even care if that offends people lol

I can't really speak for the community on this, but I am a huge fan of The Venture Brothers. I didn't think the character ever really crossed the line. I can't recall much, if any outrage over Hunter from the community. There was more talk about the Season Two cliffhanger with Doctor Girlfriend revealing something to The Monarch,

Ginny, a somewhat related question to Onorgul's; are you familiar with the game Catherine?

I was also pleasantly surprised with Dragon Age: Inquisition.

Someone bring me a microscope

I believe it's the bar in Dollet in FFVIII where the man dressed as a woman hits on Squall.

Is it sad I knew that right at a glance?

Like Cloud in a dress, it's something that burns it's way into your memory.

and silk underwear*

No, I did too, going by the current subject....well it might be sad, we could just both be in the same boat.

Can you guys seriously not read that?

I mean I know clicking on it makes it bigger, but its still readable, well unless you're blind.

fine, I'll screenshot it on my next playthrough...
