I got two large rolls of KT Turf Tape, but I think I may be allergic to it. I put a small patch on my skin and in only a few hours my skin was completely red and so itchy that I pretty much scratched it off. I tried not streching it as much, not itching it as much, etc. And I still get a crazy allergic reaction. I can't wear the tape for more than two days without it being so itchy. And I get terrible blisters that last weeks. It sucks. What can I do to stop this? I'm not just gonna waste all of this tape.

First I just got banned from the sub, whatever. Then I get a 3-day ban on my account for "hate speech." I appealed it by saying that it is my opinion and is actually a somewhat common opinion and it got denied. Seriously, just ban people from your sub if they're breaking the rules (which I didn't know I was), don't report their fucking accounts. They say we're in an echo chamber and yet they ban and mass downvote anything that disagrees with them, they almost never want to have an open conversation and then try to justify it by saying we're "transphobic." So hypocritical.

A lot of what transmedicalism talks about is the pink brain blue brain stuff. But as many people have started saying that brains do not in fact have sex and that the transgender brain studies were simply based on averages and not conclusive, what does cause gender dysphoria? Do brains have sex? Which argument is correct? What studies are there on this? I'd like to know your thoughts. I obviously think that gender is biological (likely caused by a number of factors, not just brain structure, but also activity, chemistry, unobservable factors, etc.). I think that the averages are showing that transsexualism is caused by the brain and that modern studies simply are not advanced enough to come to a straight male female brain thing, as brains are known to be more mosaic and sexual dimorphism is not large. I'd like to know what the consensus is from other transmedicalists.

I am 14 years old (Ftm) and have a cisgender twin brother. I hate it. He’s everything I want to be, but can’t. He plays sports, is like 3 inches taller than me, is muscular, has a deep voice, has a girlfriend etc. I wanted to play sports when I was younger, but was afraid of judgement, was bad at sports due to coordination issues and didn’t want to play on the girls team.

Now every time he has a football game or talks about playing sports I just get mad. Not at him, but about what I am not, what I could have been if I wasn’t cursed with this. He also walks around shirtless sometimes and I just envy it so much.

I want to work out, but am to afraid to ask to even stay after school for an extra our and workout (like he does) because of judgement from people there and from my family. I’m stuck just doing body weight and some things with a weighted backpack, other than the once a week I go to weight room for gym (which will be gone after June) and once every like 2 weeks when my parents and brother are gone and I can use his equipment.

I’m terrible at sports due to coordination issues and having to wear a binder and I hate gym class because of this. Some of the kids in my gym class who know don’t treat me as well because I’m trans. I know this because a lot of the athletic kids I met this year are actually nice to me and pick me to be on their teams.

It also sucks because we’re the same age. I get to see him go through the puberty I should be going through, the puberty my mom won’t let me go through yet because I’m “not honest enough with her,” which is mainly because of fear of judgement and dysphoria about talking about things related to my medical condition. She also always compares my behaviour to hers and uses my brother and my dad as a contrast (eg. your brother and your dad forget things more than you and I do) and it makes me feel awful. Like she sees me as woman and like her. I just want to be a guy. Also, because we’re the same age, I’m afraid it may out me if people find out that we’re brothers. Like I said earlier, he’s much taller and has a deeper voice than I do, so I can’t use the “it’s just genetics” excuse, because, well, it isn’t.

I love school because I get to be around people who don’t know I’m trans and don’t comment on it like my mom, dad and brother. And if they do know, they don’t just casually mention it like my dad (and my whole family, but mostly my dad).

I just hate it. I wish it would all go away. And it’s not his fault. He’s just living his life and being happy and I’m left ranting to a community of strangers on Reddit because I’m too scared to talk to anyone in real life about it.

I doubt anyone actually read all of this, but thank you for those who did. Even if no one cares, I’m just glad I get to put this out somewhere and not just leave it in my mind to fester and get worse.

recently been seeing more and more people saying that the brain sex theory is a myth, I would like to see your guys’ thoughts on this.
