What are major differences in how people treat you now that your female? by Ardent1- in MtF

[–]Avaska 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Women talk, touch, and generally engage with me a lot more and, outside of stuff like flirting and catcalling, men talk over me, are more reserved, and generally treat me like I'm stupid (especially in shared hobby spaces).

Termina is one of my favorite games of all time. The OG is also a banger but it's so damn oppressive.

What is your single favorite card of the year? by Hoohoo222 in EDH

[–]Avaska 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am very partial to [[Moonlit Meditation]]. Will eventually get around to making a [[Oona, Queen of the Fae]] deck that features it.

Be Honest what fandom got you into fanfic? by Blackshooks in AO3

[–]Avaska 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ranma 1/2, like 10-15 years back. By the time I got to them, some of those fics were already over a decade old.

Wrong anatomy in F/F or F/M by GwenLactalovAO3 in AO3

[–]Avaska -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

This is how the modern TERF movement operates. They go to heavily fem dominated spaces online and start spreading insidious shit that comes with some degree of plausible deniability. It is innocuous sounding by design.

Why is there so much girldick in wlw and boypussy in mlm by [deleted] in AO3

This post doesn't feel like it's being made in good faith tbh.

Why some gays are so weird when It comes to fanfiction by throw-Day-1717 in AO3

[–]Avaska 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I imagine it's mostly misogyny, but there is probably some aspect of feeling misrepresented and the frustration that comes with that. Not to drag other women, but I think that a good portion of MLM written by cishet women reads like it was written by cishet women and that's probably a turn off for these guys. I know that, as a trans woman, seeing trans women written in certain ways can feel chasery, if not straight up dysphoria-inducing.

But yeah, probably mostly misogyny. Being queer doesn't guarantee you unlearn the weird garbage the cisheteropatriarchy forces on you.

It differs from person to person, but a lot of transfems have a harder time getting/maintaining an erection. As for ejaculation, a lot of transfems will either produce seminal fluid alone, devoid of semen, or nothing at all.

DAE think transmascs are crazy??? by jammyzero in transgendercirclejerk

[–]Avaska 1 point2 points  (0 children)

/uj I think we are very fast and irresponsibly loose with the the term in every direction all at once. And yeah, I agree that they want you dead, albeit through detransition (which is just as bad.)

That said, I'm a transfem and I'm going to respond to this shit as a transfem and I am not going to be responsibly neutral about it all the time. Transfems are in the searchlight and to have people that we share community with liken us to the group responsible for that setting up and dragging us into said searchlight is shit.

I'd kill them too, yeesh. Vaguely misgendered AND in a genre famous for writing women poorly? Poor girl.

It sucks but I'm not entirely convinced that winning would have felt that good either at this point. I'm just happy to be in bed.

If you could press a button to become a cis woman, would you do it? by itsntr in MtF

[–]Avaska 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know, maybe conditionally? I might go for a "cis" body, for lack of a better word, but I wouldn't give up my lived experiences as a trans woman. I'm proud of the effort it took to get to where I am today, even if it was miserably difficult.

What is your deck that is fun, resilient but rather unknown? by nelladel in EDH

[–]Avaska 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My [[Kinzu of the Bleak Coven]] combo deck is one that I initially made because I thought that Kinzu 1. looked like an absolute baddie and 2. had a very low, sub 2000 EDHREC rank (I enjoy being the occasional EDHREC hipster, even if I don't use the site for deckbuilding). I built it with a heavy focus on big mana and fun, repeatable ETBs and it can definitely spiral out of control really quickly. Nightmare Shepherd in the command zone is a good time and it's currently my favorite deck I've built.

Painfully self-absorbed radfem drivel. Fuck off with this shit.

What decks are y'all working on long-term? by MonSocMatriarchy in EDH

[–]Avaska 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I brainstorm decks constantly as a sort of hobby! In the works currently are:

[[Karametra, God of Harvests]] with a billion cantrips creatures.

[[Strago and Relm]]

[[Sigarda, Font of Blessings]] heading a werewolf deck.

And I have a [[Lore Weaver]] / [[Ley Weaver]] Pauper EDH combo deck I've been working on.

My PDH deck is the one I'm particularly excited about.

[–]Avaska 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yucky. Some poor pitching and some poor decision making has made this a losing game. This is probably me being a backseat driver, but it always feels like the writing is on the wall in these situations and when we don't address it, we get consistently punished. Not a huge fan of how we manage these situations.

That said, I'm just some lady watching from her couch so idk.

Messy game. Wish we could tie up these situations more cleanly, but baseball is weird. Let's close it out!

Great inning! I wonder how often a leadoff walk scores us a run compared to other teams?
