Welcome to /r/transgendercirclejerk! This is a satirical community run by and for trans people, where we mock the hate and ignorance which we experience in our lives. The subreddit often features dark humour including ironic parody of transphobia; none of this should be taken seriously.

/uj I feel this is too early to make fun of. the girl is dialing with some serious body image issues. issues that we share with our tall cis sisters. I hope she gets better. she doesn't deserve so much pain for something so out of her control.
we need to put a stop to people having crippling self-image issues!
...not necessarily for the benefit of the crazy people with those issues but moreso because it sometimes leads those insecure weirdos to say problematic and hurtful things in their unhinged rants
actually their body image issue come from internilized bigotry. they believe what they say about them and they hate it. if anything it is not there fault. there are echoing everything hurtful they have heard. this is why I stopped saying those things about myself. I don't believe them for other people. if any other girl heard the thoughts I had she would be mad at me. why am I not mad at me. that is my eternal process. however that won't for everyone.
/uj True, but posting about this in a way that makes it sound like being tall is inherently bad in a place with a lot of tall women is just going to make it worse for everyone else.
true I am one the tall women. I have been there. I wrote her a huge comment in the hope she will feel better. but where should she turn if not in our online safe spaces for support. if we simply yell at her for making feel bad we haven't helped anyone.
\\uj yeah I got that. but where is she suppose to turn to phrase it however she needs to and feel safe doing it?
I feel that a place that every unpleasant thought should be sincerely stated so it can be addressed and talked through. it is not like the girl has many place to turn too.
Maybe it shouldn't be that subreddit or have a trigger warning. I am lucky enough to have gone through this already. she clearly hasn't. i had a person irl tell this that why are you saying that about yourself in order for me to click, that I was offending her as well.
it takes a alot of practice to ignore those thoughts.
I don't know a solution, i just know that I want her to be able to phrase those thoughts and us trying to to her and every her out.
/uj I'm literally 6'3 so when I read that I was like "what". On the one hand it's like there are women, as well as cis women who are that tall and taller and it's 100% possible to pass as a woman when you're that tall. Which I know from experience because I do it all the time. But on the other hand I know that online circles tend to focus and fixate on aspects of bodies rather than the whole person or on the ways actions and outlook influence how other people see you and I remember when I was trapped in that sludge. Not the specific sludge that poster seems to be dealing with, but something similar.
/rj Yeah I wasn't even allowed to be a troon because of my stupid height! Now no one's gonna hatecrime me :( :( <------B
the brainrot exists in australia too, every time someone asks for my height and I answer they go 'what's that in inches?'. I must escape the anglo countries to find peace from the imperial system
I mean I get what you are saying but also in a thread of 6 ft plus trans women it isn't the most tone appropriate time to share this, but also also we/I shouldn't get offended at the reality that 5'4 Trans-fems exist (obviously) and that their concerns are valid. If anything I hope that my comment re-affirms how ridiculous that fear is in your case given the audacity that I felt and that I was pressed to type this up
I am genuinely unsure whether this is an unjerk that's calling out tone-deaf behavior while trying so hard to not hurt anyone's feelings or if this is a next-level metajerk that's jerking about the community's tendency to try and give criticism so incredibly gently that the thesis of the comment gets completely lost in addressing caveats and blunting the impact of the message.
Either way, fantastic job!

/uj I feel this is too early to make fun of. the girl is dialing with some serious body image issues. issues that we share with our tall cis sisters. I hope she gets better. she doesn't deserve so much pain for something so out of her control.
I’m literally 6’1, I just get frustrated lol
me too. I think. I don't understand bald eagle units
6’1 is approximately 185cm
that is exactly my height. also I kinda knew. I just like calling them eagle units.
If you take the space between the end of your thumbs fingernail to the first knuckle then multiply that by 73 that’s approximately 6’1
what? /uj what?
Idfk you explain to me what an “inch” is then lmao
americans will measure in anything but the metric system source: im american
/uj Most reasonable Eagleland unit.
look the eagle is on finasteride don't make fun

/uj I don't mean it's wrong for her to be upset, but if it can come across as an attack on other tall women then there's a problem there.

/uj Do tall cist women get dysphoric about their height?
/uj I'm literally 6'3 so when I read that I was like "what".

Now no one's gonna hatecrime me :( :( <------B
there's an original post this is based on?
You should 141℅ yourself for height increase. Stupid troony toon.
yall got fucked up percent signs around here
/uj me the stupid troon thinking they wanted height increase and not decrease, /hj in that case let me get my chainsaw...
oh i didn’t even see that i was pointing out that you used the “care of” sign instead of the percent sign
Ah ibsee
%‰٪
Become paralyzed and sit in a wheelchair, plus being vulnerable only means you are more woman
Something something transabled
Oh no don't do that to me
explain it then why I don’t pass as a guy if I’m 6 feet tall (: edit: 6’1 apparently, why can’t we just say it in centimetres like normal ppl
America is the default on Reddit we’re the only ones who matter /s
the brainrot exists in australia too, every time someone asks for my height and I answer they go 'what's that in inches?'. I must escape the anglo countries to find peace from the imperial system
Nooo haha tall amazonian mommy warrior!!! I want tall women to step on me!! Your body image issues are stupid!!
Chop off your legs. Solved!👍
Oh YEAH? IM 4'4 FTM HOW DO YOU THINK I FEEL??? 😡😡😡😡 /Uj I feel for her, that must suck
As someone over 5'7, your comment disappoints me. Plenty of tall women, cis and trans, are quite beautiful. Gwedoline Christie comes to mind...
OMG don't be sad I LOVE tall girls 😍😍 MOMMY MOMMY DOM ME TOP ME MOMMY AWOOGA
me but unironically and 6’3
[удалено]
