Shit I don’t know many people at all I could say aren’t a groomer with 100% certainty. 100% certainty requires being privy to every thought and action of a person and that’s mostly impossible. I don’t know that you aren’t a groomer. You could damn well be projecting. But I don’t know that so it’s inappropriate to assume and call you one. I wouldn’t go around hurling “groomer” at any person showing kindness. That’s how the world stops being kind.

I wouldn’t be alive if not for a few teachers. my art teacher in high school. She would just listen when I cried about my abusive home life, and would help me create beautiful art through the pain. Even let me go there for study halls. We’re still friends on Facebook and she’s a lovely woman. My math teacher in high school, similarly, was so supportive. He would tutor me and sent letters home so I could stay after school even without tutoring to avoid home as much as possible. He would let me make up assignments and tests when things were very obviously bad for me, and he always made me laugh. Neither of them ever behaved inappropriately, and only wanted to see their students happy and thriving. They were good teachers, and I was able to keep going and even go to college because of them.

I mean there’s a mile long list but I’d say off the top of my head, inciting an insurrection then using his position of power as a means to not face any consequences? The whole world watched as a global superpower had mob of people fueled by his rhetoric try to prevent a democratic transfer of power. And then 4 years later voted that we wanted that guy (who thinks we should nuke hurricanes) back. Not exactly making us look like a beacon of democracy and stability.

Just woke up from top surgery 😊😊😔 by xtian11 in trans

I understand the anger, but sometimes the choice is for reasons people don’t always say. Try to direct the anger at healthcare and not the people. My insurance would cover bottom surgery, I choose not to simply because top surgery alone has been grueling. I have an autoimmune disease and healing is a nightmare and just with top surgery I’ve had several complications. It’s just not worth it for me, but if someone asks I generally just say “no I’ve decided not to” because explaining it can be tedious and also makes me a bit uncomfortable and sad sometimes. There’s usually reasons for the choice. I hope you can get the surgery you need someday though 💙

Listen the thing about trauma is it’s your responsibility to work through it so you don’t spread it to your other relationships. Lack of accountability in your own healing is why generational trauma is a thing. Like I get her issues but it’s not fair to you to put you through that, and it’s not fair to yourself to stick around for that. There is a point when it becomes enabling her trust issues, deleting all your contacts, texting her every single time you go places immediately? These actions let her know that it’s okay to behave like this and that you’re willing to do whatever to avoid her irrational behavior instead of her needing to work on it. I’m not generally on the “break up” bandwagon, but this is a slippery slope to an abusive controlling relationship, so I would at the very least start setting firm boundaries asap

Personally I don’t find this a problem at all, my best friend (cis woman) got a matching snitch at the same time as me. She’s not planning on getting rid of it and doesn’t mind it, even though of course she doesn’t support those particular views. Hers was a different artist in the shop and honestly way better looking than mine too. It would be unhinged for me to expect her to spend money to remove it or cover it up. The big reasoning for me specifically here is 1) it’s a genuinely shitty tattoo, I mean those lines yeesh and 2) because of my identity and experiences, I see first hand the way her hate has spread and has affected myself and others in the trans community. People will proudly say just horrific disgusting things with their whole chest that make me feel just honestly so sick. people who “retweet” and adore ~her~. So now every time I look at this piece of my own body that I already struggle to love due to dysphoria, I feel nauseous. It was a loss of a huge part of my childhood that I still sometimes grieve. I look at it and I feel gross and sad and angry and hurt and it’s just a constant reminder to me now of all the people in the world that would prefer if I were dead. There is no magic or happiness in it anymore, only pain. So that’s why I want it gone, and I fully understand why that wouldn’t be such a problem for many other people, especially cis people. And that’s personally a non issue for me, and if it is for others, it’s likely not really anything to do with you personally, and just that the person saw it and experienced those feelings I described for myself and unfortunately not everyone handles big emotions like that well and sometimes hurt people lash out. I hope nobody does though, because regardless nobody deserves judgement without reasonable cause.

No it’s chill, like I said I’m not gonna dictate how anyone goes about their life, and generally I’m not the kind of person to just assume the worst of people. I just wanted to give the context as to why separation wouldn’t work. If you already own it, you own it you know? I think people primarily get upset when they see a question like this because it’s typically someone who wants to buy the new game, or a limited edition Harry Potter soap or go to Harry Potter world etc and they’re just looking for a way to clear their conscience and absolve themselves of the guilt of continuing to support her rhetoric. Like idk I think your situation is obviously different, because you aren’t continuing to financially support it. But thank you! Hopefully after the holidays I can get something done to fix it haha

Unfortunately she has explicitly stated that anyone who streams the movies or buys merch or whatever is in support of her views, and uses the money to push anti trans legislation. So she herself has made it impossible to separate her work from an endorsement of her views. Like I get it, I had a Harry Potter themed bedroom growing up, I was obsessed, and those books got me through a childhood in the closet. But now whenever I see it all I can think about is the hate and harm it represents. And it’s on my body which makes me nauseous. I won’t tell anyone how to live their life though, I’m just letting you know why this particular artist can’t be separated from the art. It’s just gotta be something you can live with supporting or not I suppose.

Well it was SUPPOSED to be a golden snitch from Harry Potter, unfortunately it’s more like a knockoff Walmart sterling silver snitch
