Hi, does anyone have any tips for drawing the stereoisomers (cis/trans) in octahedral complexes. I can do the same for Alkenes easily because they tend to be in one plane only and there’s four bonds to look at yet I can’t do it for Octahedral. Should I be looking at the central 4 atoms bonded to the central atom or should I account for the other two (top and bottom) aswell? Thanks
Hello and thank you for taking your time reading my question and sorry for my bad english:)
I do understand the basic concept of Cis–trans isomerism but right here im not sure. I can say wether or not a molecule is cis or trans in simple molecules but in "harder" ones im not sure how to do it.
Anyway I'll jump straight to the question. My professor showed us (2E, 5E)-hepta-2,5-dien-4-ol. I don't get why you can say its 2E and 5E, like what is the reason it is 2E and 5E and not 2Z and 5Z. Here is a picture of the molecule in question: https://imgur.com/a/CSWrQg0
It would be great if someone could tell me how I can identify the correct name.
Thanks
For example: 1-butene
This is just for high school level introduction to organic chemistry so I don't really have that much background knowledge. Nothing in any notes given explain how I can determine this. I don't have access to those wooden model things either.
Why isn't it possible for this molecule to display cis trans isomerism? Why is the default molecule the cis one?
Here is a pretty neat video demonstrating aromatic substitution and cis trans isomerism. Hope you guys find it beneficial!

I'm in my last year of high school and my final exam is almost all organic chemistry. I only vaguely remember learning about cis/trans isomerism- am I right to assume that it would effect properties in that trans isomers would tend to be more symmetrical thus changing the net dipole, increasing stability and melting point etc?
I know that fac is facing all one side but they are also beside one another like I'm just confused

Edit: ok to clarify some things I thought I might have been a trans girl and was just asking to gauge how much rejection I could be in for in the future.
A homeless guy grabbed a girls ass and he started walking to me her and I ran up the stairs he followed us and tossed his bike at me. I sprayed him, but some of it blew back on me. He started chasing us, so the girl and I had to run he held hands to keep each other safe. Thankfully some people helped stay with us and we had to call the cops LAPD showed up and arrested him. After 20 minutes, poor girl
But he started putting his focus on me, telling.me to suck his dick and said he paid and called me a hooker, etc. The cis girl was obviously not in the best state neither was I.
But the fact she had my back and I had hers was good.
I wanna say thank you to all.you cis sisters for having us trans girls backs.
We're in this fight together.
I am just shaken up. And I realize how I am not prepared for this. But I am not gonna end up being a hate crime stat. Fuck thatttt
I can go on about losing make privilege but it's just a hard fact I am adjusting too....that things aren't uncommon for women. Like at all.
No self respecting trans woman is going to tolerate nor do they want to be called slurs such as 'tranny' or 'shemale'
I see this a ton on dating apps and then I get asked why no interest or "why can't I get a trans woman to take me serious?"
The answer is: you are fetish seeking calling us those terms. You are the definition of a chaser. We are women, treat us like you would ANY other woman period. This is not porn, this is real life and we have feelings.
Don't act surprise if you do this kind of behavior and get swiped left on everytime regardless how cute you might be.
End rant
I don't have the energy to elaborate much, but basically- my existance as a trans man does not "erase" the "female experience" or whatever the fuck
Acknowledging that I have a uterus, am capable of becoming pregnant, that I still need to access ""female"" healthcare (cervical cancer screenings and the like) does not "invalidate" your identity as a mother or as woman, because women are also people, and being a woman is not defined by your ability to bear or raise children. This is basic feminism for the love of GOD
I don't care if you call yourself a mother. I don't care if you make groups for mothers. I don't care if you casually refer to pregnancy as something that happens to women. I care if the acknowledgement that uterus-haver != woman is treated as stupid, or worse, oppressive, somehow, to the point where a legally transitioned trans man can't even access the right type of healthcare because of it. It's not about you, for fucks sake
Seriously, there's so much actual shit that women have to face for being women and being pregnant. "Pregnant people" as a phrase is not one of them
I saw a post by a cis woman in a general trans sub. She said she dealt with problems caused by high T levels from PCOS, giving examples of body hair, male pattern of fat distribution, lack of a regular cycle, hair loss, irritability and such. She continued to ask how trans men on T deal with those and whether the pros really outweigh the cons for us. You know what, we actually do like high levels of testosterone in our body. They’re not “issues” for men. It’s just how it is having a male hormonal profile. Hey, why don’t address your frustration to trans women. I’m pretty sure most of our sisters would gladly rant about the “poisonous” T with you. (To be clear, I’m very much against the “T poisoning” rhetoric in mixed trans spaces, but if it’s exclusively between women I personally find it understandable)
For some stuff like reproductive issues it makes sense to include people on the basis of whether they have such organs, and even then, trans men’s and cis women’s needs could still be drastically different depending on what we talk about. But really for most things, they would find more solidarity with trans women, not me. I’m tired of people assuming we’re just very special women, and trans women are very special men. Nope.
Like I get it if it’s another trans person and wanting to see how results can work, but a cis person doing it just seems off to me?
tweet mocking trans women
tweet mocking trans people for getting mad about being misgendered
tweet making uncomfortable joke about trans women
tweet complaining about the tweets being called transphobic
here before someone takes me out of context!!
Hey bros. Lately I’ve been feeling down and conflicted because I’m worried that I won’t ever date because I like cis men and I’m scared that they won’t like me. Anyone has any advice or words or encouragement? I know dating and finding a partner isn’t the most important thing in the world but I would like to experience it. Thanks guys 😎
Most of the trans women in my circle of friends have been sexually assaulted. I've been sexually assaulted. I'm tired of cis women acting like they're the only ones to face that danger and then try to weaponize it against us.
There's more evidence that trans women are in danger of being assaulted and killed in masculine spaces than us harming them. My friend was once arrested and put in jail with men, disregarding her status as a woman. She was raped by the men in that cell the entire night. Another friend was discovered to be trans and was raped by a man.
How dare they think that only they should be empathized with!!! I'm so tired of this nonsense that they're the only victims because they're cis woman. I knew a trans woman who was in a relationship with an abusive man who mutilated her face. Her pain and the pain of my other trans sisters are real and shouldn't be trivialized
I'm tired of wokes getting in the way of me getting sweet femboy trap cock! I show ANY BIT of appreciation for those trans and I get ATTACKED by angary wokes! They call me a chaser and fetishizer just for my fetish!!! UNREAL
For the same reason These same wokes are also anti race mixing! WHERE WILL IT END????
The suffering of the Cis white man knows no bounds.
/uj r/196 moment
I've always considered myself a straight man. But recently i started dating this transwoman. And like I know y'all call yourselves women and everything, but for the time being I want to disregard that completely and totally because of my own insecurities about my heterosexuality.
I found her very feminine and attractive until she told me of her, um, her 'trans status'. With that fresh knowledge, her masculinity is so obvious, I have no idea how I didn't notice it before.
So my earth-shattering question is this: does finding her attractive make me gay? I know this may be a bit of a tough one. I'm not considering the possibility that maybe - just maybe - all of you have been asked this question too many times by ignorant straight dudes. But hey, I'm special and I'm different, and hence I demand individualized answers for my extremely common scenario.
So??? What's the verdict? Am I gay? Oh dear God, please don't tell me I'm gay!
/uj all those guys could just search the archive. But noooo, they HAVE to waste everybody's time with their stupid questions.
I was texting with my cis friend (I’m trans), and she said “I think I'm bi because I'm attracted to trans men, women and enbies. Cis men moreover make me angry these days, like anything more than aquaintance/reading recommending friendship. So I'm looking forward to getting to know intimacy outside of usual gender roles.” This in the context of us talking about being lesbian. Is she being a chaser? How do I explain why this is wrong?
oi gente, esse e meu primeiro post aqui, sou a valentina e tenho 20 anos, gostaria de debater um assunto que está em alta no momento porem de forma educada e de uma forma onde podemos mudar nosso ponto de vista, eu comecei minha transição e tomar remédios com 13 anos e sou muito feminina, apesar de tudo isso comecei a perceber que está cada vez mais difícil ter relacionamento com os homens, tenho a sensação que antigamente era muito mais fácil, provavelmente vocês ja viram no tik tok homens dizendo que não ficam com mulheres trans porque é a preferência deles, na minha opinião ter preferências e completamente normal além de que ninguém e obrigado a ficar com ninguém, porem eu como uma mulher trans não consigo entender essa tal (preferência) realmente é algo que não vem na minha cabeça, ja fiquei com muitos homens na minha vida geralmente quando o app e mais focado em sexo, eu deixo na descrição que sou trans, porem quando quero ter um encontros prefiro contar pessoalmente, sempre quando conto para os homens que eu sou trans eles sempre ficam surpresos e ficam falando que eu não pareço kkkkkkk, porem muitos acabam me bloqueando e ate mesmo me desrespeitando, porem anteriormente antes de contar eles me tratavam que nem uma princesa, ate tem alguns que aceitam e ficam comigo, porem so gostaria de falar que apesar de ser a preferência de vocês muitos esquecem que nós pessoas trans temos sentimentos e também amamos, muitas das vezes essa preferência soa como egoísmo apenas porque não curte o genital alheio, não to obrigando ninguém ficar com ninguém porem acho que vocês deveriam repensar um pouco ate porque muitos homens me adoravam e tinham voltade de me conhecer porem quando eu disse que era trans eles iam embora e perdiam a chance de me conhecer, não estou falando pra vocês não terem suas preferências mais sim não priorizar ela totalmente porque no fundo do coração isso magoa bastante☹️gostaria muito de saber a opinião de vocês?
my friend upset me last night. she said i’m ‘not really gay’ if i like trans men, too... i tried to explain because i’m a man who likes men, i’m still gay and body parts don’t make a difference. she still doesn’t get that. she’s also bi, but says she wouldn’t date a trans girl... whatever i try to discuss with her, she doesn’t really see what i’m getting at. it’s just annoying that she thinks she knows me better than i know myself, and i thought bi includes all trans people??
I feel like this is pretty typical but it is so frustrating.
Ever since I was 13 I've pretty much wanted to start HRT and would always research about how to transition. I would watch other people's transition videos and get jealous that I couldn't do that because I was cis. I did this for almost a decade and the feelings hav been eating at me this whole time instead of being dealt with. After recently coming out to myself, I don't feel mad or disappointed: just sad that it took so long to get to the conclusion I always knew was there. I tried so hard to live up to how others wanted to view me, and the only reason why I accepted I was trans was because it became unbearable not to. I was an anxious kid that didn't want to rock the boat.
Fuck societal heteronormativity/cisnormativity. I don't think cis people understand how damaging it is to many people (even people who think they are cis) just so they don't have to deal with a differing view of sex/gender that has always existed. Nobody should have to deny the ability to even question who they are out of fear. I wish we educated more on these topics at a young age just so trans children don't have to feel damaged just for existing. Disliking others for basically no reason has to be exhausting.
also cis society: uses male/female and man/woman interchangeably
Most cis people I talk to have absolutely no idea what a trans man even is, but that did admittedly change a bit when Elliot Page came out. A lot of them have never heard the term ‘non binary’. I haven’t met a single cis person, even among queer cis people, who had ever heard of neo pronouns.
I see so many trans people talking about how some trans people make the rest of us look bad. I get feeling really embarrassed when another trans person does something stupid or cringe. I can not express how much I loath Caitlyn Jenner, she is an embarrassment to all trans women, and i hate it when ever she comes up in conversation.
The reality is most cis people don’t even think about us very often. Why would they? Trans people usually don’t effect any cis persons daily life in any way at all.
It aggravates the hell out of me how many times trans people assume that cis people are aware of the minutia of our community.
At most, cis people tend either to be pro lgbt and support us whenever we come up, but aren’t involved in trans twitter and shit. Others tend to see trans people as social justice satanist who are part of the whole q conspiracy to dismantle the west or some other clown shoes crazy nonsense. People think about us for a week when we come up in the news. However the rapid news cycle makes it so they forget about it in a week.
There are very small communities of people like terfs who are fixated on us, but the average person has no idea what a terf even is.
Maybe it’s different in other countries, but even the average American transphobic asshole really doesn’t think about trans people very much.
We can relax a little bit about how cis people perceive us. I see so much shit about who or what is making us look bad, but the truth is that there’s practically no one who is looking.
I've seen some opposing opinions and I'd like to see what you guys think of it.
