Sis was basically built with a clit to begin with, will barely need any aftermarket mods to match female spec.

Has anyone noticed there's little to non micropenis pornography?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

I saw a penis size chart recently, it showed the overall avg size versus porn actor sizes.

Overall people's average size was around 5.5" and average porn actor size was about 7" and there were very few porn actors with less than 6"

So porn is generally skewing people's perception of size if that's what they see more than in-person dongs. (haha in person)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 hours ago

The median would be interesting. Just in case there's one guy out there stocking a 12 footer.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 hours ago

I would have to actually look for that.

So it’s kinda hard to notice what you aren’t looking for.

But you do you, no kink shaming.

Fake: OP is Trans

Gay: OP is very gay

[–] [email protected] 64 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (9 children)

A big reason that drove me was that I have a micropenis.

Fake. There are no "reasons to drive someone" other than their internal gender, this sounds like something ~~a cis person~~ someone who thinks being trans is a choice would say.

Edit: For clarity, I'm not speculating on whether or not the OP in the post is trans or cis, I'm saying it doesn't sound like a real story because it sounds inauthentic to the trans experience. A trans person could easily think this up, like anyone can make up a story that is close to their experiences, but since it isn't real it doesn't really pass scrutiny.

two of my trans women friends, when getting their sperm frozen before starting hormones, found out they just have XX chromosomes and never had working sperm in the first place

i think we underestimate how many intersex people there are

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 37 minutes ago)

Yup. My belief is that we are likely to eventually combine the categories of transgender and differences in sexual development (formerly known as intersex) as we discover more about it's biological origins. The vast majority of people have never been karyotyped and have no idea what their chromosomes are.

Idk 4chan has a notoriously toxic and strange trans community. Giving “reasons” is exactly the sort of thing I’d expect of them

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

That's a good point. I haven't browsed 4chan since way before they had any LGBT community/rep visible on it, I don't know what kind of convoluted views they have. Let me guess, some of them unironcally identify as "agp" don't they?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

There’s a whole lot of blanchardianism (agp vs hsts). Quite a bit of homophobia, it’s actually a lot straighter than you’d probably expect. A lot of how they act is surprisingly old school, like back in the day when you weren’t allowed to transition unless therapists thought you couldn’t live a normal life as your assigned sex old school. And all this with the characteristic 4chan edgy bs. Also they’re anti supportive, like full on terf forum level of critical of trans people’s appearance.

I haven’t been but I’ve learned to pick up the signs by seeing the shit trans people who come from 4chan say.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Good to know, thank you for the info. That's really sad.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah I think there’s just something about 4chan that encourages a sort of emotional automasochistic culture. I think it’s partly that the culture pushes away the healthy, but it also drives those capable of health away from it in favor of “uncomfortable truths”. I forget what Natalie Wynn called it, but it’s the philosophy of “it is true because it hurts”. And it happens all across the website. It’s the thing that ties the Nazis, the trolls, the incels, and the self hating trans people together, and it’s antithetical to happiness.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Holy shit I never heard of it put into words but jesus fucking christ does that CLICK. I'm no longer there myself but there was certainly a time when I felt in a similar way:

The truth is painful,
Therefore the more that it hurts,
The more true it is.

This rhetorical position is insidious, deranged, toxic, and most importantly: blatantly incorrect and false. Holding this belief is a diagnostic flag of fundamental cognitive stack malfunction. Suspend all non-critical executive processes and seek therapy.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago

So I just remembered the term she used was masochistic epistemology. It was in this video about incels.

But yeah it’s such an easy trap to fall into when you’re already unhappy. And yeah it’s a form of accepting defeat because trying is hard and the possibility of failure is scary. Sometimes the truth hurts, and if you’re generally miserable the truth you need is likely uncomfortable, but that discomfort could be anything from “you need to get your shit together” to “your expectations are unrealistic” to “you’re surrounding yourself with people and things that make you miserable because it’s easier to accept unhappiness than to change”

Incels for example think they need to accept that they’re just ugly and unable to ever be seen as attractive and thus are destined to be miserable forever, when in reality they often need to accept that getting laid won’t make them happy and their misery is part of why they can’t get laid. They need to find a happy life in which sex would be a nice plus and then be clean, groomed, and enjoyable to be around.

i have spent and still spend lots of time in these places and yes, they do. they desperately want to be hsts and hate themselves for being agp and not being trutrans enough. lots of reppers too (trans people that know they're trans but repress it out of self hatred). there's lots of lore

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 hours ago

That's really sad. It would also explain how she is relating her micropenis, via shame and self-hatred, to being trans.

[–] [email protected] 58 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

That's such reddit logic. You assume everyone has a perfect understanding of themselves, but people have a lot of different things internally that drive them and they're not always aware of it. When I was young I was interested in other men, and frankly, quite disgusted by it. It's the habitat I was raised in and if you'd asked me back then, I'd have told you it was because I was a sinner. The real reason as I came to discover was indeed that I'm just gay. It took a lot of steps and discovery to get there. I'm not saying this is real, I'm just pointing out that just because your logic is correct does not mean that this person if they are real has made enough discoveries about themselves to be strictly logical.

Wait, are you saying people would lie on 4chan???

But seriously, yeah, people don't seem to realize that people tend to want to pick the path of least resistance. If someone really is trans I have to believe it's because who they are is so at odds with the expectations of society.

Edit: added a qualification because I am not trans

[–] [email protected] 5 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Exactly. Coming to terms with being trans, when trans people have been seen as nothing but the butt of far too many jokes in damn near all exposure most of us had growing up, is a difficult process rife with cognitive dissonance and defense mechanisms. No one wants to be trans, they just want to be their gender and have to be trans to get that.

The pain of self repression against the potential pain of self expression

[–] [email protected] 20 points 20 hours ago

Your internal gender didn't just fall out of a coconut tree.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 21 hours ago (21 children)

This very well may be fake, but it's also entirely possible to identify as trans for any number of reasons. You might say such a person is "not really" trans but, supposing that is true, there's no contradiction between that and some person who doesn't have such ideological convictions having a thought process like you see in this image and acting on it.

That said, I agree that it's probably fake, though I'm not as confident that the poster is a cis impersonator.

Bummer. If only there was more to relationships than penetrative sex. :/

Did the dad never change any diapers?

Micropenis is almost always evident from birth. Always afaik, but I'm leaving room for edge cases I've never heard of.

So you'd have to be a pretty hands off dad not to see it, even if it somehow wasn't noticed or reported to the parents by the doctors involved.

Edit: also, obviously fake and gay, forgot where I was for a second and was pretending it was real for discussion/entertainment sake.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 15 hours ago

A study from the 80s showed that around 45% of fathers NEVER changed a diaper.

Things changed today but I would not be surprised if the dad never changed a diaper.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I can't imagine most first time parents innately know what a baby's penis is supposed to look like, is it really that obvious?

[–] southsamurai 10 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, it's pretty obvious.

It tends to happen the most with other atypicalities, but even when it doesn't, it just doesn't look right. Humans have certain proportions, ratios, and we can usually tell when someone is off by a fairly small margin. Genitals are no different in that regard.

You might not immediately think "micropenis", but you'd be able to tell things weren't normative.

Now, it might be pretty easy to shove that aside and assume it would grow later on, and they do. They just don't grow to normative proportions, they stay micro, just not the same size as they start.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Just another anecdote, but I have 2 boys. I can't tell if one has a micropenis and the other has a macropenis. One looks smaller than proportional, but not "micro?" One looks, well, otherwise. They are both huge kids otherwise.. Maybe they are both near other sides of average, but I'm not spending time trying to figure that out.

[–] southsamurai 4 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Well, if they're much past infancy, there's only so much that could be done until they're adults anyway. Afaik, the kind of hormonal treatments to cause growth work way less past the early years. After that, it tends to need surgical intervention to change, but that's just based on the last time I was reading up on it, which has been about a year at this point.

That being said, it's worth talking to their doctor because the underlying causes can cause other problems that would be better detected early.

It's a really simple thing to have checked, it's just measuring the penis and comparing that to charts. No trauma involved, no complicated procedure, and unless it does point to a formal diagnosis there's no further action needed.

It's one of those things where knowing can give everyone involved time to prepare for anything down the road.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

what if you live in a region that outlaws hormonal treatments for minors

[–] southsamurai 2 points 2 hours ago

Afaik, nowhere has tried to ban that kind of treatment, only the ones for transition.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I don't think it was that uncommon for a boomer dad to never change a diaper. One of my friends dad was bragging about it and my own dad was a little surprised to see me change one. Luxury of a single income supporting a middle class family of 4 I guess.

I'm 40 and would have no idea how big penis of a toddler should be - and with all growth hormone stuff happening, I wouldn't feel comfortable at judging at this age (besides that it is mostly irrelevant in long term relationships)

Also, my personal penis, so to speak, can be very minor, but as a grower I needed to step up my confidence, when being naked - but of curse instead of an actual micro penis, mine seems to be just shy and needs some encouraging words or kisses.
So maybe I can't relate.

Still I think this idea is idiotic
