>come out as trans to mum >accepting and all, goes well >she offers to catch up and take me to see a 'trans friend' of hers, to "know what this process is going to look like" >i reluctantly oblige >'trans friend' happens to be an unpassing middle aged transbian hon with a man voice, a wife, and 2 daughters >says "its hard when you're in that clocky androgynous phase, but its easier now that i pass." >thinks she passes >most definitely does not pass. >"you'll just be a deep voiced girl!" >wtf does she even know voice training exists >i, 18 years old and passing potential, just sit there listening to this person spiel about transphobia and 'how hard it is to be trans.' >never want to tell anyone im trans ever again >never want to talk to a trans person publicly ever again
how am i supposed to take this seriously? is this how my mum fucking sees me? i dont want to be some cynical asshole who just hates ugly people, but jesus christ, do these people have any self awareness?
i could handle the ugliness if she was the slightest bit self aware. i dont get how anyone could present female and call themselves a woman with a man voice. i guess she is living a better life than me, but i'd rather be a depressed self aware tranny than a happy hon with zero self awareness. why are mainstream trannies like this?

when you realize most people have 0 self awareness everything becomes very clear
yeah cant think about it too much or i have a derealization episode my wrists dont appreciate those episodes

user you might not realize it but copium gets stronger with age and hearing ugly people compliment you on this board like you’re not a travesty is what causes such things to occur in the wild

>user you might not realize it but copium gets stronger with age and hearing ugly people compliment you on this board like you’re not a travesty is what causes such things to occur in the wild I think there's more to it than that. I think self-unaware people like the person described by OP deserve respect and compassion, but it's clearly not just a matter of them believing all the hugboxing. Their brain just doesn't work very well when it comes to at least this area.
If you look at this board, there's hardly a single person who thinks they pass and look great when they very much don't. It's almost always the opposite: think they're hideous and unpassing even if they do pass and/or are attractive, or are close. The people who blindly and brazenly believe and externally say that they pass when they very obviously don't would behave that way regardless of positive or negative feedback from others. They're "unique", so to speak.

>what does fpbp mean im actually retarded >ok ty i am actually dumb sorry Why would you be dumb for not knowing what a particular Any Forums-specific initialism means? Especially one that's clearly non-obvious like that.
This is exactly what I'm talking about. People on this board will call themselves retarded and hideous even if they're brilliant and hot, while some people in the world will call themselves brilliant and hot even if they're undeniably very unintelligent and ugly. Those people are probably born with something like narcissistic personality disorder, or some other condition.

you have a point but /passgen/ literally has no passers it’s hugbox central

I stopped talking to my therapist made me go to a “trans support group” which was made up mostly of 53 year old 270 pound transbians named Mehdowegh or sunshyyn. I even gave it a real shot opening up about how I even if I could pass I was nervous to relearn female socialization only to be condescendingly told that the whole “woman thing” was easy and I had nothing to worry about by people dressed like the preteen girls section of target. I pretended to be sick and left 20 minutes in. I want to have empathy, I really do, but the total lack of self-awareness makes it impossible to have any sort of connection or sense of community with these people
