How to deal with those horrible things every month

[Darkie]

Brandon, how would you like it if someone talked about you the way you are talking about other people?  Don't you understand you are basically spewing the same hate you feel on other people?  I don't understand how you don't see the fact that you are severly hurting the people trying to help you.

Aren't a cis man thing* I'm a man and I get menstruals.

Well I don't know about you I feel quite dumb saying I'm a man who gets his dang period every month, Yea we are men but men are not suppose to get thoes women are who it is intended for but because were female bodied yes we get them

..Do you really listen to yourself when you speak?  I don't even know how to respond to this.

You know guys, I've helped raise a ton of children and sometimes babies and toddlers will just cry for attention. When you turn away, they stop crying, and when you turn back to them they'll start up again. I think it's time we just turn away for a little bit, the kid will take care of himself.

Dude, seriously just wtf? I'm gonna go ahead and call you out. You really must be on here to mess with dysphoric trans men. You bring your religion and use it in the form of prejudice. You bring up horrible things when it comes to MTF's. You bring up things that trigger ALL of us.

That's like saying "Well, brown eyes aren't beautiful. but i'm not insulting anyone with brown eyes". Do you hear yourself?

I'm done. You're young but you aren't this big of a fool. No you are doing this to hurt people? And you know what I say to that? it's pathetic. You hide behind a computer screen.

I'm not doing this to hurt people, How is wanting to date cis women a bad thing, How is me saying that. Mensturals make me feel lik less of man a bad thing, I support gay marriage but It doesn't mean that I have to nessicarily agree with it, You keep twisting everything I say around and you take it the wrong way and your only hurting yourself, Instead if assuming just say hey Brandon what did you mean by that, Is that so hard

[Darkie]

...I'm out. I don't know what else to say without turning into a psychotic ragemonster.  I'm currently PMSing and you DO NOT want that brought upon you.

You really wanna know how many times My manhood has gotten questioned? Alot And it was way worse then that, Ive been told I'm not a man just because I don't have a dick and alot worse

Brandon, I've been dysphoric since 1976. I'm willing to bet the farm that you have no idea how many times my manhood has been questioned in those 37 years. That's more than twice as long as you've been alive. Dude, do you have any clue how much more cissexist, transphobic and homophobic the world was in the 1970s & 1980s?

My dysphoria didn't get easier by a magic dick suddenly appearing in my underwear, or expecting other people to solve my problems for me. I've had to battle against almost insurmountable odds in some very unaccepting parts of the world for every single improvement I've made. I've lived in countries where I could be arrested and sentenced to death for being gay and/or trans*. And all of us who have been to hell and back are trying to give you the benefit of our experience.

When I first came out to myself as trans*, there was nobody I could talk to. The Internet hadn't been invented yet. Most of the people at Susan's hadn't transitioned. But you? You have a wonderful support network available to you, comprised of thousands of people all over the world who get what you're going through. We're not paid to sit here and help you; we're unpaid volunteers who have our own lives, jobs, families, health problems and other dramas. Please don't let such a precious gift go to waste.

'Dickum testiculosa!' is not a Harry Potter spell. But it bloody well should be.

Well I don't know about you I feel quite dumb saying I'm a man who gets his dang period every month, Yea we are men but men are not suppose to get thoes women are who it is intended for but because were female bodied yes we get them

This is what we mean: whatever you may have intended to say, the words you have used tonight are offensive to men on this Board who happen to menstruate; those words insinuate that we're women. We get enough of that out in the real world; we come here to escape that sort of nonsense.

Periods are not 'intended'; there is no master plan. They are simply a physiological phenomenon experienced by mammals who have a certain combination of hormones and organs. The overwhelming majority of those mammals are not women.
