Different people use different words about their transition, and I think you're imposing your own experience onto others. To say that trans women categorically weren't men in the past totally invalidates how I have always described my transition. I don't share your experience, and I don't describe my past self the way you seem to think I should.

I was comfortable with my gender, and I don't think it was invalid for me to have identified as a boy. That's not who I am now, but that doesn't invalidate my identity for the first 16 years of my life. And I think if speaking, behaving, or filling the social role of a male doesn't make it valid to say that I used to be a boy, then that feels invalidating to everything I thought made me a woman. :/

But I think all of this is heavily philosophical and subjective, so I'm not saying your feelings are wrong either. But to say that the only way for trans people to be is the way you perceive them to be is not just silly, it runs the risk of invalidating everyone else who doesn't share your feelings on the matter. Our identities are our own to express, not yours.

Any plans to make it easier to interact with links to other instances?

The QoL value to automatically open links to other instances inside my current instance would be enormous.

If cancelling an ink subscription disables your printer, then you don't own that printer.

Ignoring the bad is equally invalid 🤔

And they're not saying ignore the good, they pretty explicitly said there is good and bad and that the situation has a lot more nuance than you guys seem to think

Lol you didn't even look at the post. Actual NPC moment

This is why I'm a firm believer that "homo/heterosexual" is an outdated term. We need words to denote being attracted to masc/feminine people that don't also unnecessarily make implications about your own gender.

Assholes who run this place are trying to supress me

Did you forget that you're going around calling everyone groomers and pedos? 🤔

Nobody is trying to suppress you, sweetie. To everyone else in the room it's pretty obvious why your comments would be getting deleted (assuming you're not making shit up)

There's no problem with it, but the US has been tricked into believing there is a problem with it to perpetuate the supremecy of the main two parties. That's my POV at least ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Highly recommend everyone that likes Portal to try speedrunning it. It's pretty short, especially if you have practiced chamber 16/17/18. You can beat the whole game in 1-2 hours, but it will go down to more like 40 minutes without glitches if you have the solutions memorized.

Then you can save like 15-20 more minutes by learning a few really easy glitches. There's tons of tutorials on speedrun.com/portal, too

There are some states passing laws mandating "in god we trust" be placed somewhere prominent in the school. There's an argument to be made that by doing this, the states are mandating that education systems must promote the the idea of the Bible and it's claims being true.
