@The_Bunny_Doll Definitely much easier said than done, for sure, but it's not impossible and the safety you'll feel is worth it. We're working on it ourselves.
@The_Bunny_Doll My girlfriend has been feeling the same lately, its definitely not just you. It may seem impossible but you should take opportunities to remind yourself that not everyone is like that and that you should try to find good people who feel like you and form a little community
@hikikopuppygirl That said trans people are already a small minority, and detrans people are even smaller at that. It does work, but not always, and using the plight of someone's pain to further demonize the trans community is disgusting. I cannot emphasize that enough.
@hikikopuppygirl I know a guy that was fully pressured into voice training, hrt, and bottom surgery and now fully passes femme. And he hates it. He was told that the next step in his transition would fix his dysmorphia, and it never did.
@jessiegender Halo 2 being there is wild, when the whole plot of the game is how badly a marriage of church and state can be when the religion in question goes unchecked and is going to lead to the activation of a universal WMD. The Arbiter's whole arc is about uprooting the hierarchy
@Thatonefuckin11 @CherryBreadTV As a side note I don't have much room to talk, my mom (who barely spoke English at the time) was full on going to name me "Heathen" because she thought it was a name in the Bible. Kind of upset she didn't follow through, Heathen goes kinda hard
@Thatonefuckin11 @CherryBreadTV Trans men have the funniest dichotomy. You have kings on one end named "Tanner, Jacob, Jason" shit like that, and then on the other theres fucking "Fletcher, Satchel, Melcher" or something that just radiates fanfic tier oc names. Love em all, but come on bro, fuckin Satchel???
@sonikudzu @geekaggression @shurugz @niceytime Hell the author of HxH and Yu Yu Hakusho is chronically ill, and Kentaro Miura actually died during these conditions. Shits so bleak it isn't even funny
@sonikudzu @geekaggression @shurugz @niceytime The manga industry is famously crushing, getting 11-20 page chapters out on a weekly basis while dealing with editors and deadlines makes it so many of them barely sleep or eat. Kishimoto, the author of Naruto got married during its run and wasn't able to honeymoon for ten years.
