Huh. Might try looking into that when the time arises. Thanks!

Well... me and my fiance of 5 years broke up a few hours ago.

I didn’t know it, but I had been repressing a lot more than my gender. Tonight was supposed to be date night, first since me coming out two weeks ago. I felt weird because throughout the day I was listening to trans YouTube and began asking myself all of these questions. I knew I was straight, but I thought it was in a cool, woke, pansexual way (don’t ask its called “mental gymnastics”), also I was worried about dysphoria because I am so new in my transition and I want to gain confidence against it.

I retreated to my art space and commenced chill. Chill involved a lot of Midwest emo, smoking, and crying.

She came to check on me and asked what was wrong. I told her about my sexuality and how I wanted to not have sex for a while because I don’t actually know what I want yet… it’s all still confusing to me. Then that turned into talking about being straight… then she mentioned maybe taking a break. Then it became more of a revelation that it’s probably more permanent than a “break.”

We talked about it for hours, laughed as we reminisced about our memories and cried into each other as we saw how beautiful it was. It was a celebration of our time together as unwitting gal pals. We just bought a house together in May... but we're gonna stay roommates. We both agreed that, despite not dating, we're pretty good best friends.

I’m still trying to process it all, but I know that this is all part of my journey; overall, I feel happy.

Heya! NB transmasc here! I was looking for trans related content on Newgrounds that wasn't poking fun at trans people for once, and I stumbled upon this thread.

what do you peeps do for fun?

YOOO you're so pretty aaaa

Yeah you're trans! don't let anyone invalidate you just because you don't completely fit into the binary

transfem + bitgender here! i like playing games! and sometimes doodle or make a lil tune

i'm a huge fan of boomer shooters, roguelikes and also the nintendo 3ds family!

cool, I like the Mario & Luigi superstar saga port

It's understandable that this was the end result, its a big change from the way you two would have been together 5 years ago. You mentioned earlier your former fiancee came out as lesbian at the same time, so they likely have their own things to process and a bunch of growth to do themselves.

I'm sorry you broke up but I'm glad it was amicable at least. I hope you two can still grow together as you find your way.

Thanks ng dad :D

Hey guess what!?

My teachers know i have a gf! Theyre very nice ^^

She (my gf) got me a big giant plushie for Valentine's day -^^-

you're already hanging out in it!

Ya girl got frontpaged on Newgrounds earlier today for a song that is trans 🤙🤙🤙 I could probably fist fight Tom Fulp, lose right now in front of all you, and maintain all of my dignity. I don’t know it feels pretty sweet

That’s great!!!

came out on Facebook yesterday and nearly every reaction has been a “heart.” I beat my like count for an elaborate proposal I did. Nearly 200 people have interacted, none have been bad, and a lot of women who have been important in my life are messaging me. All of them have been giving me affirmations, like at least 3 people who, since our last interaction, have come out as lesbians, and all 3 said that I was the only “boy” they could talk to. Okay… one of them said that, the other ones said that it was way easier to talk to me than other boys. Still, pretty bangin validation. It’s been one hell of a month but I somehow managed to come completely out of the closet (except for only about 15% of work still doesn’t know) and still have a massive support system.

i hope this doesn’t come off as bragging… I just want to share my experience. I thought it was going to take a year before I was fully out; I was wrong. The support system I have is unbreakable and redundant; for the most part, everyone still treats me the same. Regarding the last point, It was really clear when I came out to my gay dad (not blood-related, met him through work)—he didn’t see the leggings, makeup, cardigan, b-cup stuffed bra, or the t-shirt. He was really confused why I was freaking out until I told him. But it didn’t matter to him because all he saw was me, Jenny. He wasn’t judging me, he was legitimately confused why I was freaking out when he saw me before I was ready for him to see me.

being trans is cool, I’ve like unlocked the battle pass for life and I’m getting all the premium awards now it’s sick

kind of wild, but maybe someone relates??? I just got a notification about a review I left on the Brittney dress up game from the 2000s. I remember getting horny, but feeling really gross about getting horny, and then feeling all this euphoria when I put one of the 4 outfits on her but immediately afterwards taking off the outfits because “that’s gay lol” (which seems like my default “this is a gender thing” feeling—nothing was girly, everything is gay, idk).

just played it again and it felt wayyyy different. Definitely a click-for-the-tits game but… idk my feelings on it make more sense now. Not going through puberty so I’m not flush with testosterone in that same way; I’m able to realize I think she’s gorj, I want to be able to be dressed up like that and have her body, but it’s not the same as how I feel when I see Brendan Fraser in Encino Man or Matthew Broderick in WarGames or my high school best friend.

ugh figuring out my gender and sexuality after 25 years fucking sucks, I should be wifed out and knocked up (with adoption papers or surrogacy) with one of the “best friends” I had had a massive crush on.

So some cool but also weird stuff happened???

i broke up with my fiancé after I came out. After a hard week, we ended up literally best friends. She’s my most important ally in my transition… her family hates my guts. They not only misgender me overtly, but they say all the awful things people say about trans people ON TOP OF the stuff they say about partners who split from their daughters.

audio cw: a lot. The title may be triggering to some with dysphoria around the pelvic area.

i wrote this song about being straight and very horny. I call straight guys the f-slur, I talk about being covered in cum, and I talk about my preHRT body very graphically.

I posted it Monday night. Yesterday I got this text from her mom:

i literally cried at work. I also felt so much euphoria??? Like people are coming back into my life, apologizing, and it’s because of a song I wrote about wanting to get railed after 25 years of missing out on sex with guys.

Somehow THIS is what repairs the relationship between my best friend’s mom and me????

just more evidence that being trans is a superpower??????????

lmk if the track title appears and is triggering, I will 100% remove the title.

Just wanted to let you guys know that, even though you're a small group, you matter in one more person's life. I've got a trans gal pal who's planning to get an NG account soon, and I'm likely going to point her to this club and others (related to her sexuality, nationality, interests, etc) to help her find some community and support on the site. Hope this brightens your days :)

okay y’all I started hormones about 4 weeks ago and holy shit I’m literally already seeing results. like check out this budding hourglass??? Also like after a couple hours after my first injection, a lot of stress I didn’t realize I was carrying was lifted off my shoulders suddenly. Apparently it kicks in right away, and my transfemme friends noted that too. Like y’all, everyday I feel more inside my skin; For the first time, three days after my transition, I took a picture of myself in lingerie because I thought I looked amazing. I can look at my naked body and see a normal, real, sexy person. Those waves of dysphoria I sometimes got, especially “post-nut clarity” induced by a flood of testosterone in your body from orgasm, have been minimized to basically no interference in my life. Sure, I get a wave every once in a while, but it’s easily quashed. I look at myself in the mirror and have to squint to see my old self. Babes, I’m supposed to start noticing changes at 3 months. Being trans kicks so much ass.

Hey there!

I’m working on writing a trans woman for a story. What should I research and what questions should I be able to answer about her and her transition?

cw: fear, trauma.

YA GIRL GOT FRONT PAGED AGAIN FOR WRITING TRANS MUSIC???

Y'ALL THE TRANS AGENDA IS IN MOTION??????

YUH!!!!

-uhh THISA TRANSAGENDA MADE ITA *italian hand, hopefully indicating to the FBI that I have a very thick accent and that "agenda" is not referring to our "secret sauce," our access to the water supply of several small communities, and our gallons of water soluble estradiol.*

y'all I feel like I should do this music stuff more seriously but I have no idea where to start. since accepting that I'm trans, it's been really encouraging, feeling so inspired and having people respond this way—I mean, I got my very unapologetically trans music on the front page twice... and it finally feels like I know what I want to say. I'm 25, almost 26, I feel like I have time... but like how do I do it? What genre do I want to do? I've been on the front page for folk emo (?) which is fun as fuck, and now for hardcore modern hip hop and rap... which is also fun as fuck. Do I see how I can do both? A parody of MGK where I do it good but I'm a transgirl? but hes hot and "dumb" and performs well and I don't want to step on daddy's toes (and I don't want people to misgender me because of it).

Idk BUT FRONT PAGE???

*packs a bowl, puffs, passes, indicating peaceful intentions* please, join me on this nice carpet.

I hope I come off as gentle, but serious, just because I never cared about my body before i came out as trans and now for the first time I feel like I actually have a stake in my skin.A lot of other folks in the chat probably have had that similar infusion of self-worth. Personally, it has made me feel incredibly vulnerable.

why does she have to be trans? If she's trans to be trans, honestly I wouldn't research the specifics of her journey UNTIL it came up in the plot. If you wanted a cultural overview, to create an authentic feeling transgirl, I'd check out transgirl twitter for the shit we talk about, or r/egg_irl and look at the mtf posts to see how it felt as a closeted transwoman or as a transwoman in denial. A lot of it is loving femboys, being hot and sexy, Fallout: New Vegas, leftist shitposting, cosmological body horror humor (@hottrashbabe on twitter is perfect example)

Now, on to plot. before I offer my own insight, a guiding question to consider:

if a plot point hinges on her identity, does it use her identity against her and/or against her friends or does it affirm her identity and, in the process, makes better humans that are more capable of love and receiving it?

I feel like in order for me to want to more fully answer your question, I personally don't want to spend any energy thinking about it unless her Kafkaesque existence is eventually resolved by affirming her identity; there are too many stories about my anxiety, my fear, and stories that haunt my nightmares about my identity.

Oh yeah, she gets a happy ending. I basically created her as a spontaneous gift to some trans friends who are close to me, so in turn, the character is close to my heart as well. I want to be nice to her.

Her identity isn't part of the main plot, but it's part of a subplot that kinda feeds into some themes of the story. One of them is people putting themselves over others' well-being for petty reasons, and the support she finds after coming out serves as part of a counterbalance to that point, showing that people are genuinely capable of caring for each other and being altruistic. (One friend even offers to take her shopping for new clothes, since they happen to be right in a location with a lot of fashion boutiques.) The other theme relates to identity - not only trying to find out the identities of some mysterious forces within the plot list, but a couple characters trying to find out their own identities. Aside from her, there's another character who is learning about their real past after having had fake memories forced on them.

So yeah. Hopefully that explains enough? Thanks for the advice you've already given.

new song about feeling ugly. lofi goes critical. cw: body dysphoria, tortured vocals.

Hey me too!!!

Nonbinary here! I'm not out to most people in my life, but gender feels more like a costume to me than anything. Some pronouns are more comfortable than others on certain days and with certain people. Glad to find a little thread space / digital coffee shop here with people I'm more comfortable around.

I found this on r/queervexillologycj (most of the posts are just messing around with the flags, rather than actually making fun of anything) and I thought y’all would have a good laugh. It’s like the trans flag version of that meme with the parts of an Oreo in different configurations lol

@ yourself I’m ASS

Hey, Demigirl here, and labeled myself as part of the trans umbrella :3

Hi :)

im annie i am 16 i go by she/her and im here to meme ,shitpost, make friends and call people their Prefered prounouns :)

definertly cut short skirts

Oh shit how have I not noticed this club before. I'll be honest and say that I've been questioning my gender for a good year now and as of right now I consider myself a pretty masculine nonbinary lesbian. Anyways this place seems chill and I look forward to chatting with you cool dudes.

I'm fine with both she/her and they/them
