hey guys i did it! i solved the discourse! does this mean we can use the word that describes us without getting talked over now? does this mean people will stop fabricating my beliefs to argue with shadows on the wall instead of what i'm actually saying? i sure hope so!

a venn diagram with two overlapping categories: transsexual, and transgender. transsexual: anyone on or wanting hrt. transgender: anyone who's gender differs from assigned gender at birth. overlap: almost every single trans person alive. there is also a little grey alien in the corner saying "all equally trans" to clearly illustrate the poster's position of neither group being inherently more trans than the other.

i think few people advocating for the use of the word transsexual do so as an exclusionary measure. labels that don't include all trans people don't inherently imply others aren't trans. "transsexuals are most harmed by lack of healthcare, so NO ONE ELSE should have it!" is a fake opinion no one has

you simply cannot be a real person. you are an illusion cast by the most insidious of wizards

they're so similar that they're basically the same game lmao. 2e just needlessly elaborates on every mechanic to the degree that rules are hard to memorize

in practice i'm with you, 90% of the games i've run have been in my own settings, but dark sun is a favourite of mine for ad&d 2e. i highly recommend downloading some pdfs or acquiring the books if you have the means. it's such a fun setting to run and play and read about (prism pentad books also!)

do you have any dark sun books? i got the expanded & revised set for like 120 dollars a while back and it's borderline therapeutic to read through them all. tembo, my beloved....

i am enthusiastically in support of the reclamation of this word, and use only transsexual describe myself, in lieu of "transgender". transsexual describes a change in sex having occurred, something which i feel is VERY important to emphasize to cis people for a litany of reasons!

okay! you have to provide transport though

shupliance ✿ @shupliance.bsky.social · 10d

yeah! it's a condescending, infantilizing term that plays into the idea that we're all playing make-believe and that cis people are just humoring us. very lame. very not cool. i will always call it trans healthcare and i will always be annoying to cis people to get them to start saying it

it means nothing but refers to many things! my favourite example of what i would consider late 80s early 90s shoegaze is pale saints. language of flowers (by pale saints) is my favourite song of all time ............

except bruce boxleitner is STILL there and his character who is a man and looks like normal bruce boxleitner is the one named troon. and then eventually he has nothing to do with the story and it's just the name

it's so pretty! i've only recently begun considering what tattoos i may wish to get and all of the designs i've gravitated towards have been floral. so this was a sick choice, i think
