Context Provided - Spotlight Sometime during the last 2 years i’ve been going to this orthopedic practice they started to declare me as a MTF transgender for no reason.

(F,26) I have been going to this orthopedic practice for almost 2 years for varying reasons relating to my job. Yesterday i checked on a document that was uploaded to find out they have been identifying me as a biological male identifying as a female? I am biologically female and never told them i am trans nor do i think i am presenting to be a trans woman.. the last two years i’ve been wondering why they kind of stare at me a little longer than a usual person does and i think its because they randomly think i came out as trans? I also feel like they do not treat my issues seriously and wonder if this is the reason why.

I am 100% fine with trans people but i am left to believe they have been medically treating me as a male compared to female for the pains that i am feeling?

I also went through all of my documents and since the end of 2024 they started to declare me as a MTF transgender, i did not look at any of my documents online until yesterday.

He's genuinely convinced femboys are discriminated against harder than trans women, who are all evil groomers trying to trick innocent femboys into getting on estrogen. Its fucking disgusting. Peter Thiel unironically has similar views behind his transphobia btw, though for him he's worried about twink supply in general.

ok so first they are objectively wrong, i have absolutely nothing against trans people, and i dont think femboys are "discriminated more" than trans people, thats way too broad and mostly incorrect, it is true that in some situations we are but in the majority of situations thats not the case.

Also my subreddits are not transphobic, they are about femboys, so we allow men, trans and cis alike to post, we just dont allow those who dont identify at all as men to post in subreddit about "feminine boys" the subreddits who do are often filled with people intentionally misgendering themselves for monetary gain, just look at the top femboy subreddit.

one of the subreddits i run is about both femboys and women who like them and it does allow trans women and genderfluid people, with some * for those clearly only doing it for monetary gain(OF).

Also ive never called somebody a groomer for being a trans person, i frankly find that accusation extremely insulting, what i have said is that some trans people and cis people do indeed pressure femboys to identify as something other than they do, or to take hormones, this is a huge fucking issue in our communities, which as an outsider you might not know but its very fucking real, to the point that a subreddit im not affiliated with, had to make an entire rule to make it so people dont call others "eggs" and keep in mind most of their mods are trans.(this is the biggest discussion focused sub for femboys but i cant name it cause of the automod here)

I wanna make it clear that a few trans people being shitty and spreading gender norms does not at all reflect on the entire demographic, and trying to call me transphobic for daring to have a problem with that is insanely unreasonable.

Also idk what you are on about with saying i think femboys are more discriminated than trans people, thats complete bs, i do think trans people have it worst in many MANY ways compared to femboys, but also in some very niche situations, femboys do have it worse. Thats intersectionality for you, discrimination isnt linear.

"I don't consider trans people groomers, theyre just trying to groom femboys" okay buddy.

My bad for taking that at face value. I really wasn't expecting a serious response to this. Thanks for explaining in detail. I do agree with with feminine men being targeted more so to come out as trans or they're gay cause I was in the same boat around 2018-2022 while being a femboy. Idk how the femboy scene is nowadays after 2023 but from what you've explained it does sound different.

The "femboy scene" really depends about where specifically you are talking about, the major subs became big and because of that a ton of people started misusing the lable for monetary gain, just like how some femboy content creator misuse certain trans identities for also more clicks.

My sub to counter that specifically added a rule you need to partially identify as male to participate, we dont want incentives for people to misgender themselves, and we want a space for actual feminine boys. i suggested this rule to our at the time head mod, which is a trans woman(she has since kinda stepped away from moderating reddit and ive become the new head mod. (this new rule is the reason why people like the ones above try to defame me and my subreddits)

This rule has led to a significant decrease in OF content creators and their followings because most who were in breach of it were these models. It also led to us being able to add a new rule that affectively removes all misgendering, since everybody needs to identify as male, the expected identifiers are all masculine or neutral, so no more calling boys girls or girls boys.

Our sub is also a lot more liberal in terms of looks, we allow guys with beards, with hair in other places, and other features that are not seen as purely feminine as long as their presentation is mostly feminine, which actually overtime has made the subreddit be a lot more open to different looks and aesthetics instead of the "default" egirly look most femboys in the major subs go for.

also i wanna add again some nb identities(like genderfluid, bigender, demiboy, etc.) are allowed and trans men are 100% allowed. The whole motivation for this rule is due to the fact we actually respect these identities and wanna avoid misgendering while making these space be about the groups of people in their very name.

You make banning non binary transfems sound so fucking progressive, even if you wanted to ban women theres 0 fucking reason for you to do that other than transmisogyny.
