I don't think mine is, she certainly doesn't bother me. Two things about being AMAB that I actually kinda like are my mustache and my genitals.

Aww dang it, it was only after I posted this that I remembered the alternate meaning of ACAB. I thought it was just funny and relatable at the time since I'm a trans woman who feels that part doesn't invalidate my identity.

How does my home instance lemm.ee fare? Are they a good one?

Makes sense to me, AMAB these days has little to do with maleness, it just describes if someone was born with a dick and balls, that's how they decide "It's a boy" when the baby is born anyway, even though they might be dead wrong 🏳️‍⚧️

That's what I did as well, just because god or whatever higher power gave me a penis doesn't make me any less of a woman.

I think it might have been partly because I said to her once that I wanted to try and reduce or prevent muscle loss on HRT and maybe she took that as me having second thoughts about getting HRT. Also she didn't specifically say that girlmoding or commitment was required for HRT but that she found my lack of it concerning. I shouldn't beat myself up too much for it though. She was trying to gatekeep me, I didn't mess up by telling her that.

I was thinking that I would take HRT long enough for permanent changes to set in since one thing that I do worry about is muscle loss on HRT. Then I'd stop taking it and the blockers, probably gradually and let my body's natural hormones take over again. I'm not sure how bad muscle loss on HRT is, I've heard some people say it's not that bad but I've heard others say enthusiastically that it'll "melt your muscles away like butter". If it's closer to the second I definitely plan to stop in the future.

Also yeah, I guess what I'm doing would be considered informed consent, not DIY. Im my defense I've heard many people call it DIY and I'm still very much a noob a this whole trans thing (only came out a few months ago and I learn new things everyday 😅).

Agreed, I'm not a fan of being stared at like that just because I'm trans and a tomboy. Happens often (especially since I'm still unfortunately pre-HRT, not for long though).

That seems shitty (also FYI trap is a nasty word). I'm not doing that at all. I try and be very clear that I'm a girl. A masculine girl who likes sports, cars, and getting dirty but a girl no less.

Probably not, I've just had a lot of experiences with people getting surprised when I tell them I'm a tomboy and transfem, and I thought this comic was relatable since apparently people think that.

It means AMAB. Best way to remember is that trans terminology describes identities we identify with, or direction of transition. So trans women are women, and transfem (transfeminine) means feminine or feminizing.

I was never able to get a girlfriend, so I decided to become the girlfriend (I still really wish I had a girlfriend ☹️).
