Left on Read - Nevada
Added 2025-03-21 10:34:11 +0000 UTCRiley and November read Nevada, the book that kicked off the 2010's trans writing scene. We think about anachronism, performance, and crashout.

What up i'm 31, been out as trans for like 8 years, my life sucks shit. As of just recently I have now twice attempted that kind of one-on-one 'trans mentoring' to try and feel like there was a point to my experience. Don't do it. Don't do it Don't do it Don't do it you will ruin many more lives than just both of yours. Don't do it.

2025-03-22 04:08:51 +0000 UTCThe first trans support group I went to in 2010, I was the youngest by probably 20 years or more, and there was one trans guy. Now if I go to a trans group, I'm probably 10-15 years older than most, and they're mostly trans masculine people. I'm still probably 10-15 years younger if there are trans women there. If I am super lucky there might be another trans girl in her late 20s to 30s there

2025-03-21 22:27:01 +0000 UTCI remember still being a secret cross dresser in my early 20s and feeling terrified going into like Topshop and buying things. I have Bigish feet, and there was a time when you could only buy shoes in like Evans. I once ordered some shoes online from a specialist tall womens clothing store, and it was before you could opt out of marketing, so when I was living with my parents they sent a catalogue to my parents address. My mom saw it first and I had to come up with some explanation. I was already out as queer, so I said we had done a drag thing at uni so I had ordered something

2025-03-21 22:20:59 +0000 UTCNot to take the Cis side too much, but as an ex-Gay now Straight trans woman who is eternally single because guys just see me as an experiment or secret etc, I do find it hard to understand some trans women who used to identify as straight men before transition. Like I was kinda stalked by one, or like I'll go to trans things and be aggressively hit on, especially from girls who are just at the start of their transition. It feels like they know to treat me like a woman, but they still treat me kinda like straight guys do. With what Nova said about falling into relationships, sometimes I find myself being like yes Honey transition is hard at the beginning and people are horrid, but you have just gone from being married to a cis woman, to being separated, to dating a trans girl, all within 6 weeks of coming out. I'm here keeping one of my chasers around for 3 years because he has a hot German accent and sends me cute voice notes sometimes ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ

2025-03-21 12:46:05 +0000 UTCi think it would be really cool if at some point you did Torrey Peters as well โ The Masker in her new book Stag Dance has a lot in common with Nevada, or Detransition, Baby would be good as well to discuss post-Nevada
