I just want this here and on my page in case anyone feels troubled by transgender issues in a social and medical or wellbeing sense.

@dajanusmiracle This isn't news.
Some people can't/have trouble memorizing the alphabet without the jingle. This means that having a direct reference is much faster for them. Even if you have photographic memory, this method can help speed things up.
@delilahbelle77 Transmasc here, but I tried once to use one and almost went into shock so I stayed away from them.
Could have been vaginismus, a form of vasovagal response, or sheer dysphoria that caused the reaction I had. Idk I just stopped trusting the idea altogether.
@herbsnsneks @imacupandurnot Genuinely had never seen it as a fetish.
Some people need to just sit down and think about what they're saying, because to see such a thing as a fetish really feels more damning for the person seeing it that way.
@herbsnsneks @imacupandurnot Not well versed in either Japanese culture or age regression as a whole but I had a close friend who dealt with age regression. The number of times they had to reiterate just to me that it wasn't a fetish was viscerally upsetting.
@ggelus_ One thing stood out to me but then I saw the timelapse and knew it was a flower petal. Wouldn't have taken long for me to figure it out with the full image in view so idk how they just didn't.
They might not be an artist tbh? Or a newer artist? Some people don't get it...
@eddieraven85 @Ranting_Trans Something existing is rarely, if ever, an inherently bad thing. It's great to encourage people, especially youth, to explore more socially neutral ideas. But restricting them to that neutrality or to an extreme is only ever going to cause harm. To them and/or their environment.
@eddieraven85 @Ranting_Trans Interests don't occur through grooming. Hypermasculine or hyperfeminine aligned interests included.
These things are not inherently toxic. Neither is the culture brought by and upheld by them. Insisting on these being the normal, however, can be toxic when pushed like it is.
@ask_aubry Dude's the fastest green-to-red light I've heard of.
Someone puts themself down a lot and praises or compliments you even more, safe to assume they're not stable enough for a partnership and you can leave. Big red flag right out the gate and probably the clearest one possible.
@genderfuckdoom This is exactly why I fight my own battles and will only extend my arm to help others fight theirs with their own words.
Some of these folk seem to be trolls or equivalent as well. And afaik, Blahaj is trans affirming but not specific on what gender.
@ask_aubry Sorry? In what world is this overreacting? If anything she's not taking this seriously enough.
Get the hell out and call law enforcement. Best possible outcome is he's found innocent but you're far from him by then.
@Diacritic@focusfronting I hear you and I raise you the proposition that authors and journalists are way worse in this regard.
Thank everything I am none of the above and have the attention span of a small house cat.
@lucxsramxs@saltysauerkraut Admittedly, I was wrong on it not being projecting. But projecting isn't inherently bad. Which is what I was more or less trying to say. I'm not the best with getting across what I'm trying to say.
We all project onto characters. It's why plain/blank slate MCs exist.
