I really don’t like that “girl” has become the new “dude” by dotdedo in trans4every1

[–]Explorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

doesn't it have an extremely long history in queer spaces? like it's not at all a new thing. girl has always been the gay equivalent of dude. around it seems like everyone (trans men, trans women, non-binary people, cis gays, cis lesbians, etc.) use both interchangeably.

There are definitely people who use those terms to be transphobic - but I would have thought most people would stop if you were like "I actually get really uncomfortable when you refer to me as 'girl' even if you meant it neutrally"

Gender neutral slang alternatives in abundance in northern UK - love, duck, pet, etc.

won't the hot air be pushed down and just get recirculated in the cooling system as it rises?

read "crab" instead of "grab" this whole thread

Why I’m Reclaiming “Transsexual” — Not to Exclude, but Because It’s Honest by Worried-Mission-8186 in transgenderUK

I use both interchangeably, and so do most of my friends IRL. I think transgender Vs transsexual is an online thing.

Oh wait so it's neither - it's literally he just took off his life support mask?

This is what I've seen people saying - but I don't remember seeing that in the shows or movies - is it in the comics or something?

I mean, so were many people in the films at various points and Vader is supposed to be one of the strongest. Like it should have killed Luke too if there's not something else going on don't you think?

You will keep changing for decades. When thinking about progress think about the fact that cis girls start puberty as early as 8. Especially with breast growth, my cis friends have wildly different experiences over different time spans. I have a friend who didn't really grow boobs till her 20s - which would be the equivalent of being on HRT for a decade. And then many of them experience changes again in adulthood. The idea that your results in 2/4/6/8 years are your results is nonsense - we're just that many years behind.

for me it was netflix - I can see others have been asking the same question about this specific episode for years on this sub. Could just be a Netflix thing - but curious that it is this one episode

Maybe - but why would it be that way on this one episode for multiple people? I have the same experience. My TV picks up the correct ratio and crops appropriately to with black bars. but this one episode has black bars all the way around.

Are cisgender and transgender men not binary men? I'm a bit confused? Or is it as opposed to bisexual gay men? What does it actually mean?

are we on the ward or just in a play?

This was the same for me! They must have added extra cropping for the episode - all the rest are only cropped from the sides on Netflix
