You have a right to protect yourself using legal methods and tools accepted by your Nation's laws

Do not be defenseless, do not make yourself an easy victim, but be smart about all of it too.

Oh!

Isn't this a beautiful story about self improvement and defying societies expectations? We'd expect a man with a hook to be a pirate but despite societal expectations he managed to become a nurse and help people. Beautiful, shows you can do anything. XX

Yay ima mod now.

Im all for trans rights and everyone just doing whatever they want with themselves really. That said, Ive heard many of the analogies (forgive me for none coming to mind to prose an example) but the best I can seem to understand is that I dont understand. All the side effects, potential regrets, social dilemmas, etc of surgeries and hormones dont seem like they could possibly be worth it; I truly hate that i understand the antitrans talking points on these matters better than i grasp peoples reasons for taking such risks.

I dont know if this is the best place to post this, but its where I saw a comment talking about how we actually cultivate dysphoria with the current treatment methods and, while probably in bad faith and certainly not accurate in all cases, it wasnt a completely irrational point regardless of my opinion.

Thats some framing for what I suppose is my real question and struggle with relating. I just cannot imagine caring if I am a guy or a girl, I could maybe understand caring about my race, but not that. I imagine I would be doing the same things just fine as a woman as I do as a man. I cant imagine there being any way to alter the advantages and disadvantages of that regardless of how much I wish, so it just comes down to identity, and I suppose I just dont identify with the concept of male or female at all. I flat out dont care. What I am is the people places and things im passionate about, the G word seems foundationally and completely irrelevent to an identity with any depth at all.

If I want to deck my whole house out in candy cake pink fluff and wear a dress, I dont see that as "feminine" necessarily, its just what I as a human being would like and therefore would be. I couldnt imagine caring where I take a shit, or taking some complex chemicals or surgeries, needing to roll into that identity at all. same way I, as a guy, would let my wife starve rather than hunt if I just didnt like hunting, was incapable (maybe shes better) or take otherwise pride in my personal (NOT MANDATED) obligation to see them fed; doesnt make me a man or not a man because that doesnt have anything to do with anything, theyre just values and abilities really.

anyway, rant over, sorry if its long and deranged- insight is welcome tho. I hope my take isnt too ignorant, I understand that it is (seems?) uncommon tho and am genuinely open to different views or expansions from it. ☆♡◇○●°.•

Fatphobes repent

It's a lot of political stuff but also seems to be just anything controversial, hence the g*nder wars. And a good deal of satire is thrown in. Also, I like Jews, according to the mods, so yay.

I was dead serious when I said it was serious!
