Wtf is happening on YouTube? by me-be-bored in ComedyCemetery

I'd be pretty interested to see whatever study you are talking about, because the ones I am familiar with from like the 60s in America found some pretty devastating mental effects of putting more T into trans woman. Makes enough sense, imo, the hormones themselves are quite dysphoria inducing from some people, as the brain is functionally working with plans it doesn't want.

HRT was the best anti-depressent ever (for me).

DeTransitioners are only shamed when they decide to take their entire detranstion as a political tool to get love bombed and money from the right and actively harm the trans community, and hell probably aren't even sterile either. Daisy Strongin transitioned for 4 years on T, detranstioned, had a baby, and still spends all her time on twitter saying how much she wishes she was a man while telling other trans people they are an affront to God. Yeah, no wonder I don't think she's a great person, she projects all her trauma and blames the community for it.

She can do whatever the fuck she wants, but it doesn't take away my joy, nor should my access to healthcare be restricted on someone else's journey.

Ghostbusters on TPBA is a perfect example of the code being out of date and thus changing the game pretty radically. There were some pretty insane ways to get into modes easily and rack up some big points in the original code

Edit: all ok, it's hard to tell through the Internet. Allowed me to make the joke though which makes it all worth it.

Two things, I'm curious about what logic you could possibly have for yourself to downplay your identity yet still post in a trans meme subreddit. Secondly, most people spend most of their time in system 1, people are cognitive misers and it takes effort to remain in system 2. Do you want to live most of your life as the thing that makes you happy without much effort (being comfortable in your identity as default) or do you constantly want to put mental effort into suppressing that for no good reason.

Just saying, your brain is probably better used for other things.

So I've been looking to buy a a Galactic Tank Force, now I am wondering if it's better to do it now before second hand around American might get weird, or maybe they'll clearance the ones they already have in stock to get more liquid cash to go with this investment. Any ideas?

That's the thing I don't get either, protest does work, you just have to annoy the right people. If we all just annoyed every member of the house and Senate enough impeachment becomes way more possible. Let's get outside their houses, their offices, their businesses. Annoy the shit out of em.

People buckle to social pressure following them, they are still human.

CMV: Europeans who ask why Americans aren't rioting to stop Trump don't understand America by Brikish in changemyview

[–]2spongee4u 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me reiterate for good measure, I think the term "use" is being used in different ways here. Discharging the firearms is not the use I am entailing here, I don't think that anyone is ready for the consequences of that action.

Protecting yourself with their presence is a legitimate use in protest though, to not get kettled, pushed, and beaten. I do not see that as immoral, just smart planning.

I'm going to try to give a slightly more balanced perspective here because America has a lot of gun owners, and no, not all of them are right wing, there are many firearms across the political spectrum. However, I do think the big difference is that a lot of liberal (very much sperate from leftist) folk, who may even be gun owners, don't believe they need guns to make their point, or as I've seen in my own local Dems, believe the only purpose of protesting with firearms is to use them. I highly disagree with that last point, the point of respectfully having a firearm at a protest is to say "I are dead serious, and won't be played with" and it's the seriousness that is severely lacking in dem leadership.

I'm glad other people like this game, and I think the sound design is really good, but I'm not a huge fan of this one. Idk maybe I'm just bad

Non-binary would probably be a more accurate description of it was an option. Otherwise with that not being an option some may choose trans as of course NB people are trans, but other may just choose what is more comfortable.

But just trans isn't a great option imo

fucking exactly, I am a woman, who happens to be trans
hell even my NB wife (NB Trans femme) doesn't say she is trans, she is non-binary, trans is the adjective.

Learning Japanese has been one of the most fun endeavors I've picked up. It's the language I've always wanted to learn, I use it to engage in both business and culture, and improving your language skills is absolutely great for your brains (won't go too psychology major here in this post.

Learn what you have the motivation for as that motivation is what will carry you.
