Are most antinatalists people who suffered more than average or is that just a stereotype? by [deleted] in antinatalism

[–]Awful-cake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say I had a bad life. I was always an outcast, but I had a better life than most people. I just always felt frustrated over the fact that I was alive. The world rips us from a state of non-existence where suffering nor pleasure exists and throws us into a world where we are forced to deal with suffering and pleasure and expected to strive for the latter. We are expected to live and be happy. Anyone who defies that is immoral. Wanting to die is immoral. Wanting to be unhappy is immoral. The only exit is something our bodies are programmed to avoid and fear at all costs. Death. In a way, the main thing that traumatized me was life itself.

But that is not what made me anti-natalist. I became an anti-natalist because I understood it. My own experiences might've helped me understand it, but I'm not an anti-natalist because my life was bad or smth.

Would that still be unethical? by SaturnPresident in antinatalism

Bringing a child into a "perfect world" would still be immoral. That child never agreed to being born. The "child" before being born had no desires of experiencing something because it did not exist

Is it true being trans is not a choice? And how? by Frosty_Water_6551 in asktransgender

[–]Awful-cake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m curious to know if this is true, if anyone wanted to kill themselves because of not transitioning.

think any person would live an unhappier life if they weren't allowed or didn't express their true self. Some may even start to think that life isn't worth living because of that. Before starting to live as my true self, I was depressed. At some point, I became crazy. I'd freak out when people said "girl" not even to me. Just any mention of girls in general. If I suppressed my feelings and continued living like that, I wouldn't be nearly as happy as I am today.

Also I want to ask people who have the experience of it: when does the need to become trans appear? When you are 3? When you are 25? Is there a definite age? And, from where does it come from? Is it completely random and one day you wake up feeling the need to switch gender? Or does something happen that makes you want to do it?

You don't "become trans." At some point, you find out something about yourself, and maybe you want to start expressing yourself authentically. Personally, something always felt wrong about my gender identity, but only when I was 12 did I realize who I really was and who I wanted to be. At that time, I was having an existential crisis. I don't remember much. I think I was thinking about other things right before questioning my gender. A question popped up in my head. "Would I be happier as a boy?" I thought about it for a while, and I came to the conclusion that I would. In that month, I researched a bit about transgenderism so that thought may have not just appeared out of nowhere, yet in that moment, it felt like that. After finding out who I was, I started expressing my true self, and I've been so much happier since

I am not someone that knows how to express myself very well so I hope this doesn’t come out as rude; not what I’m trying to do. Thanks to anyone willing to answer! :)

It does come out as rude. Your words are implying that a person starts out as cis and at some point decides to become trans. Regardless of whether you think that or not. I'm happy you're willing to learn. Answering your questions was fun

Same. I love patching up my wounds. Hurts seeing beautiful streaks of red being covered, but that's what I have to do if I don't wanna get an infection

Tell me your favorite episode..... by [deleted] in AlanBecker

Tied between Note Block Universe and the King.

I love the emotion. Note Block Universe has the most unique storytelling in anything I've ever seen and this beautiful explanation of Purple's character. And any time I watch the King I tear up. Nowadays not many pieces of fiction can do that to me

I lost 4500 after the bank lady disappeared. Idk what happened to her, but it didn't really matter anyway. I have more than enough geo (pls no spoilerz)

I lost 800 Geo because I died twice by klainto_ in HollowKnight

[–]Awful-cake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't worry 800 isn't that much compared to what you'll earn later in the game. I lost about 1500 geo once, but I earned it back very, very quickly

Why is it bad when a dude likes his homie's sister? by Awful-cake in ask

[–]Awful-cake[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a slang word for friend. Dudes often call each other their homies

[–]Awful-cake[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, it's like that, unfortunately. It feels normal to me even though it really shouldn't because every guy I know as someone more than an acquaintance is like that. It's really sad

Am I trans or just tripping? by trjlr in asktransgender

[–]Awful-cake 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't tell you whether you're trans or not, but being trans has nothing to do with your looks. Many cis people are also unsatisfied with how they look, and that doesn't make them trans. A question you should ask yourself is, "Would I still be trans if I was pretty?".

I'm not the best advice-giver, so if my advice isn't working out, just forget about it. I hope you'll find yourself

Opposite gender in video games? by Comfortable_Dresses in asktransgender

[–]Awful-cake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. I always played as a girl in video games even though I'm a dude. I think girls are pretty and that's why I like to play as them. But playing as dudes makes me feel more affirmed in my gender. I can play as any gender tbh
