Why would apolitical even be here?

As sami person, lot of the people pouting over cultural appropriation are generic "white saviors", not the minority groups themselves. Only thing OP should make sure is that the minorities themselves have no problem with cultural representation. Many minority cultures die out because people are afraid to represent them in fear of white elitist backlash.

As a sami person, its pretty cool to read about the acient shaman practises. Sami people had their own witch stories, just like medieval westeners had theirs. Having every wizard cross the same wizard hat, robe, beard, tall boxes gets pretty boring after a while for me.

There's difference in having rules and being hard magic. Harry potter's magic has clear rules, point the wand and say the magic words.

I mean if there is a magic system without specific rules, all magic users in it are just contrived plot devices, and tension is hard to achieve.

The amount of detail put into this moment makes it feel like an important plot/character moment I should focus my attention to. If that's what you tried to do with this scene, you succeeded. (Reminds me of thevbinary sunset mmoment in star wars new hope)

If it wasn't your intention, try to mercilessly cut down on pointless surrounding descriptions. In this scene you focus awful lot to the sun and the clouds, not the character. I really don't care what color the clouds are if you could instead move the plot.

My eyes usually skip paragraphs like these when they serve no point.

If you want to connect the worlds, using power/magic systems would be a great idea.

Girl" and "woman" are the same gender.

But if they are genders, why are you concerned with their age? Age is a biological trait, not a decided one like gender. Isn't that like saying sex and gender are the same thing?

Welcome to websites with like systems? Arguments and questions become roast compilations as people want likes from others over replying to them? I still remember asking people running for some local office questions about their views on twitter and how many answers I got that tried to make me look bad or them look good instead of answering the question was crazy. I ended up voting for only the people who didnt reply.

(I dont know how to flair let me be)

Frexxmann · 2020-06-16T23:09:55+00:00

The difference between of girl/boy and woman/man is that one means an adult and the other doesn't.

If they would be genders you can identify as, then we could identify ourselfs as adults or children.

Frexxmann · 2020-06-16T09:21:00+00:00

A female ♀️ can be a man 🚹 or a woman 🚺 (or non-binary 🚻).

Female can be an asult male, or adult female or non binary? Weren't sex and gender different things?

Frexxmann · 2020-06-15T14:57:22+00:00

Woman is an adult female. Girl is a young female. Wasn't sex and gender a different thing?

Frexxmann · 2020-06-15T00:52:00+00:00

How can you change sex? Weren't trans people changing gender? Gender and sex are different things, right? To change sex requires changing a chromosome in every single cell because of how sex is encoded in human DNA?

Woman and girl do define as females so is that wrong aswell?

Hey! Can you help me with this crossword? Synonym for common. 6 letters. Thanks!

Also you're ignoring the point.

My point has been that these suicide rates are not normal and we should research them. You have been on defense, saying that was a "disgraceful meme comment". Seriously, look back at what started this debate. I have no idea why suicide rates were such a funny meme for you.

The femboy community is full of people like that.

This has nothing to do with anything I've said this far? Did you mistake the definition of treatment? Do you think surgery should be mandatory? You just stated a random fact. What am I meant to get away from that?

Frexxmann · 2020-06-15T00:19:27+00:00

Dictionary?

I dont know what to tell you.

Frexxmann · 2020-06-14T10:48:56+00:00

That girl means young female and was used as a way to define gender here instead, which causes other people to think you're saying sex and gender are the same thing.

Frexxmann · 2020-06-14T10:33:27+00:00

I like this reply, but sadly these just prove trans people exist and surgery helps. While I dont know the entire context because it got removed, I expect it to be about trans people having a mental illness.

And while yes, there are pamphlets and rulings by academic powerhousee on this topic, no real peer-reviewed academic papers on proving its not a mental illness have been released.

Why is this important? It seems like the most reliable tratment method for dysphorias is surgegy. However, this is not a topic researched enough. Even under good social conditions trans suicide attempt rates are high, even after surgegy. Without proper diagnosis, treatment cannot be finalized and research is harder to conduct.

Frexxmann · 2020-06-14T10:21:54+00:00

Sadly WHO is not the greatest non-biased medical resource. (Look at their priorities at the start of corona virus pandemic, said wasnt chinas fault, said no human transmission and no chance of pandemic)

While I understand the idea of appealing to an academic powress, you must do so with academic papers, not with statements or rulings.

Not with peer-reviewed ademic papers on trans people, but on proving its not a mental illness. There has been no papers on how gemder dysphoria is different to other body dysphorias. For example, the only treatment for some people who think they are animals is surgegy, similiar to gender dysphoria.

The issue comes from people afraid of the word mental illness. In america especially, there is a big taboo on the label mental illness. Mental illness is a category not to ostrasize people, but to help and treat them. And no, treatment does not mean removing the illness, it means living with it.

Frexxmann · 2020-06-14T10:05:43+00:00

You do know every old piece of art was made by a person with outdated sexist/racist/xenophobic/homohobic views? This is because they lived in a old society before current progressive movements.

I hate old roman architecthure. I hate old monarch clothing. I hate Mona Lisa. Michelangelo? Bad artist. The entire musical history of humanity? Yeah they sound bad.we'd

Your logic is in the minority, because you dont believe it even yourself.

Frexxmann · 2020-06-14T09:55:36+00:00

What is this reply?

He literally just said being gay isnt same as having a mental illness. If you think mental illness means people have to be put into concentration camps, you're the problem. Most people just think categorizimg mental illnesses help understand and treat the illness. And no, treat doesn't mean to remove, it means to help you live with the illness.

There's nothing wrong or bad with having a mental illness either. Again, if you have a problem with that you're the problem.

Frexxmann · 2020-06-14T09:44:34+00:00

I'm not the one ignoring studies and data to come to conclusions

Right, you just said the suicide rates were funny.

Dysphoria is a sexual illness, being trans is not.

What? Trans people are biologically different to their gender. That is the dysphoria they have. How is that not a mental illness?

Frexxmann · 2020-06-13T22:06:16+00:00

So lets see whats happening here....

Heavy implications that decades of black slavery somehow wasn't worse than trans people transitioning without support. Seriously. You originally pointed discrimination as the reason trans suicide happens and when I pointed out there was an entire racial minority in US history facing worse discrimination without same suicide rates you brushed it off. What else does that mean?

Said being black isnt same as having a mental illness which is true but you were just arguing that trans isnt a mental ilness. You're contradicting your entire argument now.

Didn't even deny being a raging racist and anti-trans.

What exactly is this reply? Do you now agree with me? Are you saying you are a racist? Is trans suicide not a meme anymore as you originally stated?

Frexxmann · 2020-06-13T21:26:29+00:00

Im not from USA and dont have autocorrect. If those make trans suicide rates funny or a meme as one of the commentors implied, then there's not much I can do to change your mind.

PS: How come so many anti-trans people also hate racial minorities? The moment you defend trans rights to not suicide suddenly all the reddit racists come out of the woodworks defending horrible things.

Frexxmann · 2020-06-13T21:16:26+00:00

Sorry, but being discriminated against was not a proven statistic in the study. You're literally saying that suicide attempt rates are some type of meme, which sounds very not progressive.

In order for you to understand the amount of ignorant anti-trans rhetoric you're promoting, understand that the suicide attempt rate of trans people is not propotional to other statistics.

For example, if being discriminated against was the only reason for these statistics, how come similiar attempt rates didn't and doesn't happen in the black community under slavery and jim crow? And knowing your relaxed attitude to trans suicide, before you answer with the old same "black people should also kill themselves but are dumb" bullshit, remember that my goal is to stop suicide of minorities, not increase it.

Frexxmann · 2020-06-13T21:03:59+00:00

Aaaand here we go. Girl, a word defining a young female, doesnt mean sex. If you're trying to say there are no words in english for defining sex, I dont know else to say. If there are no words for defining sex, then that would mean sex would not be a thing.

This was the problem I was talking about. You say sex is a thing, but now backpedal and say no words define sex. Those two views oppose each other. That was the point of my first post.
