We're Not Your Usually Tranners.

I made this as a comment, that the TT subs have always been different.

I think the #1 reasons that GCs become utterly apoplectic about the tranners in the TT subs - including this sub - is this isn't any of the other 187,213 trans subs on Reddit. The TT sub crowd of tranners are the trans people who were thrown out of all the other trans subs for being highly critical of all the New Trans in those subs.

Take me for example. I started this project over 30 years ago. There are posters in this sub who weren't even born yet, and I've yet to run into any who were adults then. The only people in my entire life who are highly vocal about my being a man are ... the gender critical people I've met along the way.

"You'll scare women in the restroom!"

Uh, actually, no. Okay, when I was a lot younger and got smashed up doing sports, then they'd ask about my boyfriend beating me up. Yeah, that's not happened, then they ask me about sports.

"You've never been pregnant!"

And? A lot of women these days have never been pregnant. A lot of lesbians will never get pregnant. You planning to revoke their womanhood?

Oh no, I wrote that down!

I've been asked about my non-existent period by men who wanted to know why I'm a hard-ass at times, despite not even being a hard-ass. So glad I got old and started my non-existent post-menopausal life experience. Let's hear it for fake menopause!

I've watched men get promoted ahead of me, or paid more money than me, despite having a much nicer resume.

I've had to have men who sexually harassed me fired, and I've had departments broken up because the manager refused to have women in his department.

I've had upper-level managers lie about my work responsibilities, despite years of performance appraisals say what my work responsibilities were, because that manager wanted a man in my job. I keep track of one of those men and have gloated that he's been stuck at a lower level than me forever. I also gloat that a manager who allowed me to be sexually harassed has still never gotten another management job. I'm very mean and I hold grudges against sexist men.

Never had a period in my entire life, but I have had to deal with car mechanics who don't think I know how cars work. I have financial advisors who expect me to be a nice conservative investing woman, because apparently women don't know how money works.

I've been mistaken for a prostitute, though I suspect I was merely being mistaken a for a woman. I don't ask other women how often they are propositioned for sex when it's really obvious the man wants to pay. Perhaps the GCs can answer that one. Has a man ever asked you to have sex in exchange for money near a hotel?

So, I don't care what you think, and it's not because I'm a sexual predator. I've been at this for 30 years and you people are the only ones who think I'm a man.

The other ones of us in here probably feel a lot like me, I'm just older than them.

Yes, I've lied about my non-existent periods, and I've lied about my non-existent menopause. I've never lied about never being pregnant. I guess I have that going for me.
