sidenote it has been nice to see you meeting your transition goals over the years

like no, calling other women you don't know clocky and treating them differently isn't actually anything but cruel bullying, you're not doing something there, and certainly not fighting for medical access

it is exactly some matt walsh bullshit! and after the 4chan style brow beating some of them will try to say we're fighting the same fight somehow, as if it's some kind of tough love nonsense

They'd argue we're fracturing the community by like. Idk being ourselves. At some point I think it's ok to disconnect from people you find annoying but outright attacking people being themselves is borderline abusive

Would like to chime in here to say i love the thread. I've had to curate my experience in regards to this discourse by just kinda being zealous with the mute button (and block in the hostile cases)

Its just frustrating that people are so wiling to fracture our community into "real" and "trenders"

my first thought was "wouldn't their resident country do anything about it?" but this is the US we're talking about

I honestly disagree. I think this is a few people with an axe to grind hiding behind the guise of civil discourse. Going after someone using they/them pronouns who is actively transitioning gives the entire game away and I'm tired of pretending it isn't. There is nothing wrong with being transsexual

first i've learned that sanctions can be imposed on individuals, that's absurdly cruel isn't it

yeah this is what it's really about isn't it

love the not mad sarcastic dickhead in ur other thread too lmao

Honestly I'd say that the people you're all whining about being fake trans trenders are in real fucking danger for looking "clocky" and "not passing". You think society EMBRACES non passing transfems who aren't on HRT? Are you fucking crazy?

Black cis women aren't inherently weaker than nonblack cis women, but they are vulnerable. Is it possible, through this example, that a demographic is affected by SYSTEMIC violence more than they are by their individual choices? Perhaps?

A transfem who chooses not to pass, to not take hormones, to not present as traditionally feminine, is at risk for violence because she lives in a transmisogynist world. But we have to tell her she doesn't suffer as you do, since she didn't do the Right Things.

yes me and my friends are glib chuds playing the fascists' linguistic game (at other trans people), but it's for a good cause, please understand

A lot of us me included do care. It's important to recognise the accomplishments of smaller studios and having categories that single out indie games in particular means they dont get lost amongst the Goliaths.

A [now former] friend told me they choose "dangerous freedom," and I asked, "Dangerous for whom?" Some people don't believe in externalities.

covid never ended but everyone agreed to pretend it did and that the "summer flu" exists instead because they were tired of wearing masks. there are almost 500k scientific papers about how dangerous covid is and no one cares. that part of the population is like 99%

They’re all about pretending that all the sources agree with them, only for it to turn out not to be the case when you research the topics and terms. It’s 100% a cultish gaslighting campaign

so im not going crazy lol
