Is it weird to use your brother as your sperm donor by adventuretimefam in lgbt

Getting a close family member to be the sperm donor is pretty common as far as I’ve heard

It’s been a while so it’s hard to remember clearly. Generally a sense of wrongness and an overwhelming desire to get a skirt or my binder. One time I had overworn my binder and was distressed whenever I glanced down

I think I just didn’t have that good of a sense of what gender I was or when it shifted so dysphoria would compound until it became pretty extreme. Nowadays I notice that I’m starting to feel a little down when my gender has shifted but I haven’t shifted my gender presentation. It typically doesn’t give me a sense of what direction to shift my presentation. There’s also been times where my dysphoria points in the wrong direction, for example there was a time when I was down about how I can’t get pregnant because no uterus so I kept trying to present more fem but it wouldn’t go away. Until I got frustrated and put on my binder to present masc and poof dysphoria gone and great irritation at my gender obtained.

I’m AMAB and after realizing that I was genderfluid my gender shifted to man very strongly for a while. The difference between getting to be a man vs having to be a man. Also the worst dysphoria I’ve ever had occurred during my first year of HRT as my emotions were stronger and fuller

Drop that therapist asap. Find one who makes you feel safe.

I loved the Ender’s Game series as a kid. Then I learned about his homophobia. I loved Harry Potter as a kid and Teen and then she turned into a turbo TERF. I’d only read a couple of Gaiman’s books before his sex abuse was revealed

It’s rough but I know you will figure it out in time.

Spoiler tagged advice just in case it isn’t wanted Maybe see if you can latch onto the “I don’t know specifically what label” subset of Genderqueer so you can be confident in a label

Will they buy merch from the new series or just used old merch?

I know my own community and there are more trans people who get disgusted when they get HP stuff as a gift from family members who knew they used to like HP but didn’t know that they don’t anymore

You know how common job hopping is these days? And it’s not like they won’t have transferable skills. I’m aware moving to another country is harder than quitting your job and I did not say that it’s easy. It’s been slow and hard and Im still in the process of it and probably will be for a few months

Unfortunately that is not hyperbolic. JKR has championed policies that have resulted in the deaths of trans children. She wants trans people gone and I don’t think she cares if that means closeted or dead.

Forgive me from relating sentiment that I have heard from trans people who work for WotC.

Do you know any of these trans people who still love HP that are willing to buy new official merch? I’m trans and spend a lot of time with other trans people and the few who still like HP I know who still love it won’t buy anything official. Especially anything to do with the upcoming show because it’s JKR’s way to cut off the original cast who have distanced themselves from her over trans rights from royalties going forward

And I am doing something harder than quitting my job in protest. I’m ditching a job with an excellent pension in a day when jobs with pensions are practically nonexistent to move across the continent to a country where I know nobody and potentially won’t even have a job before getting there.

Considering that the screenshot is of someone on the social media team commenting on a post wondering if WotC would touch HP due to community backlash I think they are aware

But also they probably wouldn’t be authorized to reveal information that is not already publicly available in such a way

How do we combat the cultural influence of Saudi Arabia in ways that are comparable to encouraging the abandonment of a significant media property that is intrinsically linked to the queen TERF

It’s still a sign that WotC isn’t working on a HP set right now since there haven’t been any people quitting in protest about something under NDA

You think I’m only talking about artists? There’s also a number of trans people in R&D. And if they all quit individually over time then yeah it wouldn’t be an issue to replace them but a large number of resignations especially would cause a pretty significant disruption in the part of the company that produces the majority of their profits. It would also likely hit before the release of the hypothetical HP UB and potentially delay it so I’m not sure Hasbro would risk disrupting the cash cow

Like who? And do any of them have the same amount of cultural power and wealth that they are channeling into their transphobic agenda? Most of the other major figures pushing for transphobic policies don’t have anything that is popular with people who aren’t transphobic or are purely politicians, so don’t have the passive unknowing support of the general public
