Hey Pandas, What’s Your Irrational Phobia? (Closed)

We're all scared of something - in my case, it's earrings (specifically, putting earrings in the ear) and tadpoles (josh those squiggly little things make me shiver!). What's your Irrational Phobia that doesn't make sense? Or, if you don't have one, what're you most afraid of?

Before I start I hope this doesn't make anyone feel sad or mad. But my biggest fear is getting fat. I don't know why but I am so so so scared of getting fat. I don't know why.

Just so people know: I know most people are nervous of getting fat and really don't want to but mine is just beyond weird. I fear it more than spiders, falling, or even dying.

Éowyn The Detransitioner

Hi. I’m a nineteen-year-old ftmtf Detransitioner. I’m not sure what to put here, so here’s info about my Transition & Detransition: I was born in 2002 and grew up really insecure. I heard about being transgender on online forums at a very young age and came to the conclusion that I was a trans boy. I transitioned at 9, started HRT at 11 and at 12 got a botched double mastectomy. The surgery went horribly and my chest was completely torn apart and scarred all over, surgery lines everywhere as well as numbness and multiple infections. At 16 I got a hysterectomy, rendering me irreversibly infertile, at this point I was having serious doubts and basically a mental breakdown. I attempted suicide twice before deciding to Detransition. Got death threats from supposed “friends”, harassment, doxxed, banned from sites and forums, the usual stuff Detransitioners get from the Trans Community. I stopped HRT and Detransitioned at 17. I am now infertile and my body is wrecked and I am the most suicidal I have ever been. I am currently studying Biology and Neurology at University. (There are more of our stories at r/detrans, if you're thinking of Detransitioning there are a lot of supportive people there. My advice for people thinking of transitioning is to wait until you're 18, and speak to numerous people who both agree and disagree with you. Keep in mind HRT, Puberty Blockers, and Surgery are NOT reversible.) Also, don't downvote people for no reason, it's not very nice!

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
