I enjoy the inherent struggle of the FtM experience to some extent. There's something about overcoming obstacles like biological differences and lack of social recognition that makes transition feel like a valuable experience to me. It reassures me in my identity to do things exactly as if I was born male.

If I were to wake up tomorrow and suddendly found that I now had a male body, I would feel strengthened by the knowledge that I didn't stop striving for my ideal self and still represented the values that I associate with manhood while existing in a different form.

Is this a common mentality? It's surprisingly effective against self-doubts and depression.

I'm mtf but this is how I think about trans men and masculinity. I think it's admirable and I love seeing guys grow into the people they were meant to be

Hopeful poonposting today. I agree on some level, still trying to learn how to revel in being a “self made man” lol

Not exactly the same thing but kind of similar

Also associate anything that you do while literally being female with manhood is just cringe

I want to see a FTM go full Griffith

user is a protagonist.
legit kinda inspiring assuming its not bullshiting.

Totally feel this way king. Maybe it's cope, but I'm assured in my masculinity by not buckling to the pressure of transition.

Masc afabs in general make for good story protagonists.
Everyone loves Mulan and Joan or Arc.

"manhood must be earned", but in the most literal way
cant say i dislike the eternal struggle as well. that's also why i resonate so hard with picrel

The future is now old man

MtF here i dont agree. I just see FtM as transforming beauty into ugliness. Some MtF strive to look feminine and beautiful but have a male spirit and can't help being autistic programmers and part of a iq super group even when they'd rather just be soft and delicate. FtM take the ugly female spirt and the brutal male features and combine it into the most worthless hybrid possible.

Fellow MtF here
kill yourself now, faggot
your ugly male spirit (read: misogyny) and "muh iq" is showing
you'll never be a woman because you hate women
you're just a man who wants to possess a female body for himself
no wonder TERF ideology flourishes on the internet; you prove them right

Good thing OP is based an malebrained and isn't transitioning for you.

Ok sweaty.
You are both mentally and physically impotent.

>MtF take the ugly female spirt and the brutal male features and combine it into the most worthless hybrid possible

This unironically

First time on this board and I specifically came here to wallow/make myself want to repress but this made me feel a lot better. Coming into my male identity has made me start taking care of myself/working out more and while I'm apprehensive about a lot of things I've never felt better.

now if you want to continue to do so, close the tab and never come back. genuinely
