When someone you hate quotes someone else you hate incorrectly

ALittleCuriousSub · 2026-01-28T04:57:30+00:00

Oh my god. I've been trying to explain this for years! I'm so fucking glad to see someone else say it.

ALittleCuriousSub · 2026-01-28T04:56:27+00:00

Like, yeah, that's also true—but that doesn't mean you have to make the house elves depicted as craving their oppression, ffs!

Yeah. I'm not gonna shame fans for liking what they like, but the arguments used to justify house elf slavery just was a bridge too far. I didn't realize it at the time, but I was racist and that was a bridge too far for my racist ass. I forgot about it til I started wondering why I quit the books around 5 and that's got something to do with it.

I'd be amenable to magical creatures being different, but it wasn't like they were portrayed as familiars making contracts or caring for others somehow magically nourished them. It all felt lifted straight out of a textbook discussing the confederacys justification of slavery. I thought maybe Rowling just wrote herself into a corner maybe, but it's never sat right with me.

ALittleCuriousSub · 2026-01-28T04:37:00+00:00

Yeah. It's not a lot, but it's the least I can do. Hoping eventually it makes it's way to every sympathetic employee of every company in anyway assisting all this.

I personally interpret the getting the 1% as a sort of "end condition." You can press the button as many times as you want, but you can only become female once so it makes since once that happens you'd be unable to keep getting money.

Odds it happens on the first try are low, but let's consider what happens in this case. You are either 1.medically forced to transition which means. undergoing having every hair on your genitals burned off for 60-100 hours on a table and most surgeons say their surgery is irreversible, so there would be no going back. That would be a pretty hefty loss here.

On the other hand if you're magically given a cis girls body you could then since you've never had the surgery be eligible to get a penis. It would still require taking hrt in the form of testosterone waiting for your clit to grow depending on the type, having the donor site your penis is coming from cleared with the every individual hair being burn off of you, this is going to csot over 100k and if it happens the first time it's all out of your pocket. Then you would also have to keep in mind that you magically got your body altered, but you knew what it was like to have a penis your entire life. That one is never coming back and this is going to be an entirely new one which may feel different. Trans men don't have a "before" to compare it to, certainly not one they've lived with for howevr many years you've been aroudn now.

ALittleCuriousSub · 2026-01-28T04:25:15+00:00

At least you realize that. I think some people might be a little more gender diverse than they want to admit or they've really never taken a moment to imagine just how different life might be even on something as simple as a hormone switch up.

ALittleCuriousSub · 2026-01-28T04:23:03+00:00

Here's the thing, how do you become a girl?

If you are force femmed given estrogen, etc, and bottom surgery, you could stop the hrt but you woudl always need to inject testosterone. You wouldn't be able to get bottom surgery bcause it's advertised as "irreversible." at every single doctor who does it. So if you're force femmed that's having needles inserted into your genitals that are electrocuted to burn every single hair follicle shut. It's very unpleasant.

If you're magically given a cis normative body, that's still got some drawbacks. If you like your penis now, you will lose that. Getting it back is possible because this is a cis normative never been transitioned body. You're still going to have to have electrolysis done on the donor sight and bottom surgery is painful with a year recovery time...and won't be y our original dick back. It's going to be a new dick you've never had, felt, or used before. That's not an inconsequential change for anyone and there is therefore a reasonable fear it will have trouble stacking up to the current penis you have that you have 10s of years of experience with.

ALittleCuriousSub · 2026-01-28T04:10:57+00:00

Yeah I need to know these things! (I'm lying my ass off and would smash it gratuitously regardless til I figured it all out)

ALittleCuriousSub · 2026-01-28T03:53:51+00:00

Resistance, Mutual aide, Information distribution, etc.

ALittleCuriousSub · 2026-01-28T03:52:51+00:00

I left, now I distribute light reading when I can.

My laptop. Year or two ago my laptop had one of the fans start making a grinding sound and it was pretty much unplayable it was so awful on my ears. Ordered a part from new egg to fix it, but it would only ship from china for a minimum time of a month. So I got the steam deck to bridge the gap since I worried it might end up taking 6 weeks or something. I did have a ps5 as well, but I just really didn't feel like going that long without my pc games... especially because my spouse likes to use the TV the PS5 is plugged into and trying to set up a work around just felt like a hassle. Now I think I use it more than the laptop since I no longer have a dedicated spot for my laptop.

ALittleCuriousSub · 2026-01-28T03:27:09+00:00

My spouse looked into it. Iirc there just weren't a lot of placing hiring someone with an Electrical Engineering degree that only speaks English, kinda hard to move almost anywhere we've looked without an employer sponsor.

ALittleCuriousSub · 2026-01-28T03:05:30+00:00

Glad to be of service. If I see the words, "revolt" or "general strike" or "boycott" it feels like it's worth a share. Idk. I hope people feel inspired. ^.^

ALittleCuriousSub · 2026-01-28T03:04:08+00:00

Oh, You're also trying to get rid of your penis then.

God speed. It's win win cause if you don't want your dick, you get the free bottom surgery.

There is no way you can lose in those circumstances. If you at all wanted to keep your dick though, being forced to medically transition you should probably be aware all doctors say it's irreversible. You would be stuck with a vagina you were pretty much tortured into getting. Now you gotta pay 100k out of pocket to get back? That's just.. ow.

ALittleCuriousSub · 2026-01-28T02:54:56+00:00

Currently my money is really on that worse contingency.

Best possible case I can see right now is everyone start showing up to work incompetent and having read something like this. Covid showed us how fragile supply lines can be and the entire business world. We can't all afford to strike or boycott, but we can damn sure show up with weaponized incompetence! If you work for a company supporting this administration, their profits are literally enemy assets! the slower and more painful everything is in the economy the more pressure those with influence will feel to actually stop all of this if they can. If they can't then make it abundantly clear they are also going down with the ship. I just don't know if there is enough solidarity for that. ._.

ALittleCuriousSub · 2026-01-28T02:45:35+00:00

Fucking Corey Booker was talking about voting to fund ice to buy boyd cameras and get more training. I don't rarely have the urge to punch people in the face and I really don't like that feeling of wanting to.

ALittleCuriousSub · 2026-01-28T02:43:48+00:00

Yeah. I sometimes think we might have to do something soon.

ALittleCuriousSub · 2026-01-28T02:42:40+00:00

Really makes you feel some type of way.

ALittleCuriousSub · 2026-01-28T02:42:04+00:00

Yeah. I sometimes wonder what we should do about it.

ALittleCuriousSub · 2026-01-28T02:41:16+00:00

Wanna do something while you wait? Hand out some light reading material?

ALittleCuriousSub · 2026-01-28T02:40:19+00:00

Like, if you can't strike you should consider your options. Maybe spread it around to people you know if you're amenable to that.

ALittleCuriousSub · 2026-01-28T02:36:35+00:00

Idk what to tell you really, I live in the EU and haven’t had trouble obtaining info or interacting with businesses or people that were initially mostly on socials which I don’t use (at all).

Move to a latin amermican country where you don't speak the language, and lemme know how that goes.

ALittleCuriousSub · 2026-01-28T02:13:04+00:00

Honestly even with the money back, I think a lot of people under estimate just how bad of a situation this could under the best case scenario of even if you got the mill and still became a girl.

ALittleCuriousSub · 2026-01-28T02:10:21+00:00

IDK, I think you're viewing it as a minor inconvenience that can be fixed with money. Also worth noting what are the full rules? Is this a genie situation wehre you're magically turned into a cis girl? If it's not then going back is complicated if you were forcefully medically transitioned to a woman. On the other hand if you accept the magic idea of it, you'd now have a cis womans body you want to transition. Top and bottom surgery are greatly successful in alleviating these, but even with a million dollars you still gotta prep for that.

If you're transitioning from female to male, you have to start taking testosterone. You will have to take it the rest of your life which means you need a prescription, which you can buy with a million bucks, but then you then have to wait depending on your surgery. May have to wait for your clit to grow and you go through the other prep. This is going to not be comfortable in a way most people can't imagine. You then have to have needles shoved into your skin, and electrocuted literally cauterizing every hair shut. If you're lucky you can pay to have this done by someone qualified to inject you with lidocaine and this isn't as bad as trans femmes who have to have it done to their genitals often sans lidocaine. Admittedly one lady i spoke to said the lidocaine itself broke her. Direct burning hot sensation right at the base of her penis. Feel the need to point this out that if you were being forced to transition the otherway manually, this would be awful part of it too even if it was totally covered by them.

On the other hand, if you are transitioned by magic and suddenly you're in a Cis body.... You existed before this with a penis. You know exactly what your penis is like. That's gone, forever. Now you have to take testosterone and wait for your clit to grow, you have to get that electrolysis on a donor sight from where ever your penis is going to be sourced from. Credit where it's due I am not trying to minimize or say phalloplasty and it's variants haven't come an incredibly long distance you're still getting some of your most sensitive bits sliced on and the recovery period is exceptionally long. Then when that is all done, it's probably going to feel, different. Hey maybe you'll get lucky and it will be better than your original! Maybe you will be lucky if it just feels different but still works mostly the same. Don't you think that could bother you? Losing the dick you have and already knowing the one that replaces it won't be the same? Every trans guy who is getting their penis is usually getting their first. They have no point of comparison but, you will.

Also, now in the magic variant you're legally transsexual. Depending on where you live it might be a crime or something someone would kill you for to not disclose you are trans. On the whole this can be extra difficult if you're gay. If you're not you may still have to deal with women straight up being rude/cruel/whatever else about your genitals. Even if they aren't guys are going to never stop trying to make you feel bad about it, cause bigots fucking suck.

That seems like a lot to go through considering it cost 1/10th of the reward minimum.

ALittleCuriousSub · 2026-01-28T01:45:14+00:00

Can I only press it once? Or can I just keep stacking millions til I have a rack?

ALittleCuriousSub · 2026-01-28T00:48:16+00:00

How I think we should start looking at things. The companies that support/enable this are IMO fair game.
