#transgender polls

[conkreetmonkey]

Asking because I've been obsessing over the logistics and "what ifs" of a hypothetical transition and have a grocery list of hypothetical goals (passable voice, beard/chest hair removal, pre-learn how girl clothes work, etc), as well as a ton of research into different kinds of HRT and studies/anecdotes about how to make it work better, and part of me feels like... should I not just let go, roll with whatever comes, and just enjoy it?

I'm not sure how much thought typically goes into these things, or how life-consuming they are... if I'm going back into puberty, which sucked ass the first time, I may as well go in prepared this time, right? Or should I stop obsessing over results and avoiding pubescent awkwardness, and just enjoy the journey? Like, as much as the awkward in-between will suck, is the slow morph into something more comfortable not supposed to be a fun and fulfilling experience? Is trying to minmax something unpredictable worth it?

Does being misgendered bother you? Maybe a scale from yes greatly to not at all/i find it kinda amusing. (Nuance could be included, “yes, but only from friends and family” for example)

No rush or pressure!

This seems to range greatly in the other trans people I know IRL so I’m curious.

Trans Nonbinary Bathroom Poll

This is a poll for Nonbinary people only! This includes genderfluid, bigender, genderflux, demigenders, and any other nonbinary identity! This is not just for agender people!

I will link the polls for other trans identities below

I was curious what other trans people do when faced with bathroom choices in public, so I decided to make a poll to see what y'all do.

Spin the wheel and let it randomly assign you a gender identity.

PLEASE REBLOG IF YOU VOTE!

If you press the button there is no questions from anyone, nobody refers to your previous self, & no issue is caused beyond learning to be comfortable in your body & choice.

If you don't know, take your best guess

Immediate family is your parents and siblings, and that's it. No grandparents, cousins, aunts, nephews, etc. No in-laws, either. I'm also not counting the immediate family you may have made as an adult (children and spouses).

Adoptive and step family count.

I want to see how common it is to have multiple queer people in the same family.

Tumblr polls aren't the best way to get answers on this. This poll is really just a reflection of "What are the sexualities of trans people who use Tumblr, would see this poll, and would vote on it?" which is going to result in a small sample size, as it did here with only 367 votes.

I'm going to use numbers from the USTS. It unfortunately doesn't capture experiences outside the US, because it's a US survey, but it's the most large-scale trans survey I know of, so that's the one I'm going with. I'm going to be using the numbers from the 2015 USTS, since the full results for the 2022 USTS aren't yet publicly available.

Hopefully I didn't mistype anything, I've been awake for a while and this took quite a bit of time to type up. But hopefully this helps to give a broader idea of what TGNC sexuality looks like!

Interestingly, the top two identities for trans men in that survey were queer and straight. Was almost a tie! Honestly, as a transmasc person who identifies as queer, experiences attraction to women, and is uninterested in binary men (as far as I can tell anyway; I am at least very hesitant), I feel pretty represented by this.

Hey tumblr, I’m a heteroflexible trans man. Since coming out I’ve really noticed how little representation straight trans men get in the media. I’ve always known that trans people are some of the least represented people in the LGBT community, especially trans men, but since I’ve started looking for representation that represents me I’ve maybe found two things that cover the two bases (trans guy that likes women). Don’t get me wrong I still love to see representation for trans women and nonbinary people (nimona is probably my favorite movie of all time 87 million/10) but it makes me feel misrepresented when every trans guy I see in the media is gay.

Added some extra answers cuz I’m wondering how many trans people are actually straight. If youre bisexual please select whatever feels right to you whether that’s what you’re primarily attracted or who you primarily date.

Feel free to add your favorite trans media or if you know any straight ftm media please let me know what it is.
