OK. Sorry for being so blunt Grin

Backt0Black · 05/06/2017 21:39

hahaha.... sorry CivQueen, cross post, I take it down a notch. I'm getting a bit fed up of being called a liar is all.

Urn forgive me op but in that photo with the baby you have some very visible tattoos on your left arm.

Hahaha oh dear.

Adrifty86 · 05/06/2017 21:40

Can I just say your csecfuon scar looks amazing, where is it?!

Not being sarky, mine is extremely visible and ugly 2 years postpartum, never mind 8 weeks.

Did you put anything on it? I tried some of that oil stuff but it did jack shit Grin

Backt0Black · 05/06/2017 21:40

Jesus.... an AIBU has descended into REASON... CivQueen just received two well mannered apologies Smile

CivQueen · 05/06/2017 21:42

Nah it's fine, had a glass or two of vino and my detective skills are obviously not on par with the greats!

(You look too good to be true op, I'd take that as a compliment) Grin

Backt0Black · 05/06/2017 21:43

adrifty86 its pretty low to be honest, but I've really lucky its pretty flat and thin, like a purple dashed line really. I used aveeno of all things, I do sometime get keloid (sp?) scarring too.... but I wouldn't have given a shit, my little man is worth any scar,

OP posts:
Adrifty86 · 05/06/2017 21:45

Oh definitely worth it, he's gorgeous by the way Smile

They did a right bitch job with mine, it's all over the bloody place.

Still, as you say, worth it (must try to remember that when the angels turn into little shits and won't sleep 😂)

backscratcher · 05/06/2017 21:46

Some completely shitty comments on here.
Why the fuck do people try to insist on tearing others down with their petty jibes?

OP, you look amazing. You also come across well in your messages and you haven't risen to some of the crap that has been posted. That says more about you than any fab picture of you could.
Congrats on your little one. Focus on what makes you happy.

Backt0Black · 05/06/2017 21:47

@adrifty86 .... thinking back to my boob job (nooooooooo troll hunters NOT part of gender reassignment - just a very silly whim when young!) one scar wouldn't heal.... dermatix sorted it

Ravenblack · 05/06/2017 21:48

Sorry for me too hun. I don't think U look trans, just when somebody said someone posted a similar post a while back with similar pics and they were MTF, I thought eh>>>?? Ooooh...

Esp as the body (your body!) was a bit muscular. So I do apologise.

But I think the skin is too soft, and the tummy bit too feminine to be (previously) male.

You do look good, and yeah I agree with PP's that you're clearly just really toned/sporty etc.

CUTE Bub BTW! Grin

Adrifty86 · 05/06/2017 21:50

Oooh thanks op Smile I'll try some of that!

Can I just say some shitty things have been said but props to Civ for actually apologising for being a bit of a dick.

I never see that anymore Grin

CivQueen · 05/06/2017 21:52

Yeah...it was a very shitty thing to do I know. I am very sorry op.

I was admiring the tattoos, went back to the op for a closer look and then apparently shat out my own brain from my mouth Grin

Backt0Black · 05/06/2017 21:53

@backscratcher thank you, he's made me so happy. I'm always quick to defend AIBU when people say it's too rough as I believe the majority of posters are good people and on balance I think thats the case here too.

Always people happy to try to blow out another persons candle but I like to think theyre in the minority.

Morris GrinGrin

How did I know it would not be a more - ahem - curvy lady posting

Head to instagram OP !

Backt0Black · 05/06/2017 21:55

@Ravenblack don't worry about it, as I said up thread horses for courses, some like muscles, some dont, some like tall, some like short, some like hairy, some bald (I love a baldy haha!)

Thank you to all that have said nice things about my little man.... you all didnt have to but its lovely you did.

backscratcher · 05/06/2017 21:56

CiviQueen Fair play to you, I do it often too Gin Grin

Willyoujustbequiet · 05/06/2017 21:56

You have an amazing figure. I'm very jealous.

but yes as pp said it's really quite masculine to be fair and yes I have also seen a similar thread recently from a mtf transsexual on another forum.

not troll hunting just sharing what I've seen

Willyoujustbequiet · 05/06/2017 21:57

but regardless you look fabulous!

missiondecision · 05/06/2017 21:59

Most self obsessed attention seeking post u have ever read !

Backt0Black · 05/06/2017 22:00

@Willyoujustbequiet have you RTFT? Have you seen the pic of me holding my newborn in hospital?? I'm not sure how else to prove my gender or even why I should if maybe 3 people are hellbent on a conclusion regardless.

OP posts:
Backt0Black · 05/06/2017 22:01

missiondecision read the thread maybe

OP posts:
hmcAsWas · 05/06/2017 22:01

I am glad that posters have had the decency to apologise. I read the last two pages of the thread with this expression Shock

But as an aside - its really very sad that people assume that all women should either have soft dimpled curves or delicate wee legs and arms to be feminine.

nina2b · 05/06/2017 22:02

Today 21:40 Smellbellina

Urn forgive me op but in that photo with the baby you have some very visible tattoos on your left arm.

Hahaha oh dear.

Yes indeed!

Backt0Black · 05/06/2017 22:02

@hmcAsWas I think so too, I think it's really good and why AIBU isnt really the shitstorm everyone thinks
