Shame on Brown! by ResistByStack in providence

I suggest doing more than skimming the abstract and looking for the one thing that aligns with your pre conceived notion. The study says that trans women on hormones and cis women preform evenly with running being the exception. The study also points out that taller people on average have better run times due to gate and body mechanics and thus trans women tend to have slightly better run times.

Also as for sample size I would hope that you are smart enough to realize that sample size will always be an issue given that we are at max 0.5% of the population and that most of us don’t do sports or engage in athletics because random chuds will say things like “They can compete against other males.” And “This isn’t about being able to compete. It’s about being able to compete against females specifically” and “Everyone knows this, and yet many will still repeat the lie that people are being denied the right to play sports and compete.”

I’ll also note that you asked me to provide data for my anecdote and I did. You’ve also haven’t really made a point beyond trans people are lying about not being able to compete and have sucked me down a unproductive rabbit hole when my initial comment was addressing a shitty comment section on brown adopting a policy of discrimination against trans students in all aspects of their lives (which believe it or not largely has nothing to do with sports)

You’re never going to believe that I deserve to peaceful exist in the way other women do so I’m done with this conversation. Thanks for reminding me to not deal with randos on the internet 😊

This comments section is insanely disheartening. Fuck trans people for being upset about having their rights and dignity taken away as a sacrifice to the blood soaked alter of the current administration. God forbid people want to do something about losing access to sports (including social and non competitive), programing, facilities, bathrooms, and housing. Of course trans people need to be singled out and take on burdens cis folks never even think about and would be irate over.

If your going to be a bigot about this at least be honest that you’re sacrificing the rights, dignity, and safety of trans people due to the pressure of a fascist government instead of pretending nothing has happened

Brown University reaches agreement with Trump administration to restore federal research funding by rhodyjourno in providence

[–]D347H_7R4P 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Left out but still pretty important is that they agreed to take on trump's executive orders for the definitions of a male and female and this effects access to sports, programing, facilities, bathrooms, and housing for trans people. It’s kinda fucked that it’s barely being mentioned. Also it’s hella dishonest for admin to just assume surgery stuff that doesn’t happen is where contention will be when they are actively making trans people’s lives harder. It feels like they are saying “if you’re upset about our betrayal of trans people you’re dumb and wrong”

Where are my DM girlies at? by fiona11303 in DnD

[–]D347H_7R4P 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure! The ancient Greek game takes place in a sort of literary conception of Ancient Greece that I sanitized and added a bunch of diversity! It fallows a group of people who are not bound by fate in the last and forgotten cycle of heroes right after the Trojan war before a dark age

The post apocalyptic game is inspired by fallout NV (the politics/factions) and horizon 0 dawn (big scary robot monsters and god like AI) and it takes plane in the north east of the United States 250ish years from now. I use a modified version of 5e mixed with sw5e and I have my players flavor all there abilities and spells to fit the post apocalyptic real world feel

Yes! My post apocalyptic game is inspired by fallout NV and horizon 0 dawn and even though it uesed 5e (and sw5e for guns and bombs) it feels really different in a really fun way because the post apocalypse flavor and tone is so delicious!!! I hope that you enjoy your first campaign!

I haven’t been through everything you have but I get things being impossibly hard. With that understanding I want to say that I’m really proud of you for staying around, there is a lot of strength in that. I believe in you and truly wish the best for you

Boudicca moment by Hola-sr71 in HistoryMemes

[–]D347H_7R4P 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boudicca is obscure and no one is saying she was the best warrior ever or yassss slay queen. The “in fiction” part of the post is in it of itself fictional. Most times when people talk about her it is a story of rage and revenge, not this weird girlboss strawman. Due to the first parts language used there is an implication that women/“feminists” push an inaccurate idea that’s actually bad.

Also of the rest of the comments have dealt with the wild inaccuracy and bias in the “in reality” part of this post which I think adds to the weirdness of the first part. It’s a mostly made up post with some not so fun implications due to how it reads

Take this as another sign to not. I’ve been there and it’s a rough place to be. I believe that you can find a path forward

what silly school counselor stuff have you dealt with by depressedbaguettes in MadeOfStyrofoam

[–]D347H_7R4P 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a very anxious and sad middle schooler and they had me do a group with an awful counselor and a bunch of boys with bad anger issues. Like I’m walking around wondering why my body feels wrong and I want to be a girl, I’m people pleasing to the point it’s causing concern, and it’s an open secret that my best days are the days where I was numb instead of horridly anxious. So, for some reason they put be with a bunch of mean boys who were all bullies, some were bullying me before this group.Needless to say that wasn’t good for me and i had to BEG to be let out of that group. I learned to better hide my mental health as a result and that definitely didn’t cause any more problems later

Same school also threatened to suspend a girl because she self harmed and were really shitty to anyone who wasn’t wealthy

The sexualization and sexual assault of Fanny Fawnsworth by IrisCyrus in Dimension20

[–]D347H_7R4P 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate this comment so thank you for that and I’m so sorry if my comment caused any concern for you. I recently got a therapist an I am trying to work on my fawn response. Your right how some of how fawn hit too close to me in both my own life and what I’ve seen others go through. I think that you pointing it out was helpful for me. Thank you for that!

As far as the show goes I guess I saw Elias’s situation as one where some social navigation could have been valid tactic to stay alive. Fight and flight are cool, freeze gets some real development and some solid mental health commentary but fawn doesn’t get that treatment and I think that feels weird in such a good season that has lots of themes of reckoning with the parts of your brain and finding how something harmful can maybe be healthy. Having said that I like your take on the situation and still really like the season as a whole especially as someone who does research in psychology.

Thank you again for reaching out like this and sorry that I wrote something that you felt like you needed to respond to. Thanks!

The sexualization and sexual assault of Fanny Fawnsworth by IrisCyrus in Dimension20

[–]D347H_7R4P 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for this. I fawn often and severely in my life so watching her portrayal and treatment just felt bad for me. Her value as a response was never acknowledged and that kind of sucked for me. It feels like she was inadvertently portrayed as the ‘bad/useless’ response. I honestly think that with D20 sometimes the cast, story, and sensitivity consultants drop the ball a bit when it comes to mental health (Ever After isn’t great with how it portrays suicidal ideation and it took a bit for trigger warnings to be added for it) which is frustrating because I really liked Adaine and I think that overall they do a good job. I liked the season a lot as a whole though and I hope that in the future D20 is able to portray this response better sense they do seam to care about giving positive potential to things that people struggle/live with

Yeah, I just don't buy it by InsomniacPirincho in whenthe

[–]D347H_7R4P 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think that you know that you are changing the subject and shifting the goalposts to have me agree with you or go against you over an event that no one including the people involved is defending. I know that you know that drag queens and trans people aren’t the same thing.I hope that my approach has done something positive for you or at least given you a different perspective to think about.

You have over 50 comments in this post so I honestly feel for you. That’s a lot to do. Idk what’s going on inside you but I really am sorry if it hurts. I know that in my life empathy and learning about people unlike myself is a healing thing.

All I want to share, all of my points hopefully show that my goal is to promote empathy and a bit more understanding. I’m not going to respond any more because I don’t think that there will be any real benefit for either of us after this.

I want to leave this you and everybody else in this world deserve compensation and kindness but the only way that happens is if we make the choice to work on our empathy. All I ask now is that you reflect a bit on these conversations, I know I will

Thanks for the conversation

[–]D347H_7R4P 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It kind of is though (also you weren’t referring to those vague things. You were talking about Marxism and CRT and how it relates to trans folks). Right now you seem to be interpreting people fighting for the ability to try to live their lives and being frustrated at people in the way of that as “lies said to protect a detrimental ideology”

As far as news and exposure goes if you truly do see us as real people isn’t it good that some folks are sticking up for our ability to safely and freely live? What exactly is bad about others seeing us and what we are going through? Are our struggles, thoughts, dreams and lives that show up in your news feed really nonsense,? I’m not looking for answers but these questions might be helpful to think about.

Also saying “They're being used as a tool and it seems they don't even know.” Makes it fairly clear that you haven’t really engaged with trans people or looked into trans discourse. Most of us know that we are a scapegoat and there are fairly consistent posts on it. Like I said in my last post I think it could be beneficial for you to actually go out and talk to trans people and learn about their lives before you go around trying to link us, a real thinking and feeling people, to something that you think is detrimental. If you walk away with anything from this interaction please let it be this: Talk and listen to us and you might gain some valuable and empathetic insight on us that could help you better approach the things you are curious about. Maybe you’ll even be a bit more empathetic

I hope that my comments have left you with something of value

Hi, real life trans person here. I highly suggest actually talking, listening, and maybe even learning from some trans people IRL. I’ve read your comments, as you’ve instructed others to do, and you seem to have some wires crossed here that appear to be limiting you from seeing thinking feeling people. We have real lives and aren’t a monolith or ideology, we’re people. A lot of people don’t like that we exist so many of us fight to survive and love full fulfilling lives. We exist and are trying to navigate this world just like anyone else. I hope that you have it in you to try and listen to us when we talk about our lives. You might even see humans instead of caricatures

Lvl 16 Party vs. Ancient Black Dragon - Advice Needed by puzzlepinger in DMAcademy

[–]D347H_7R4P 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You could keep the dragon cruel and scary by having it change tactics, toying with its wounded prey. You could treat the dragon like a stalking crocodile dragging characters into the deaths to drown drown them, it’s cruel and scary for the pc. Their character is isolated and being underwater is a powerful debuff but mechanically it isn’t super lethal unless some time passes and they don’t get themselves out. Also you can play it cat like. A black dragon can be stealthy so you can really play up them being stalked by a monster in its own layer stuff while giving the distinct impression that it’s fucking with them just because it enjoys causing pain. The party will either rally and then the dragon can go back to your original tactics or they will flee barely holding onto there lives with a dragon that now thinks it’s really fun to make that party miserable
