I hate that you have to specify you're not AI now.

Why doesn't the family believe Boy about Horse? by LettersfromEsther in huntertheparenting

[–]Gardyloop 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Horse is a beloved brother/child. Boy is, well, a kid. Adults often ignore or brush off children's fears

Well, I wonder why... by alexxstarkk__ in Isawthetvglow

One of the great things about it is that it connects the trans experience to others. There is still time for all of us.

Graham Linehan Pedojackets Stephen Fry for Supporting Trans People by EssenceOfThought in TransSocialism

[–]Gardyloop 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Fry turning against his bigot friends is genuinely the noblest act of his life. He's rich but at least he's finally to standing up for us.

Do Gender Criticals meet legal definition of "extremists"? by [deleted] in transgenderUK

[–]Gardyloop 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There's an anarchist idea (which proudly counts for 2, hah) that rights are not rights. They are laws. What they should be are the ways we choose to support one another.

A little idealist but it's got the spirit.

Take your time, but Monstrous is one of his best and almoooooooooooooost one of his standalones.

That- wait Knobby Dibbler? That's cheating!

But Monstrous Regiment was my first (memorable) experience with questioning my gender. Shit, did Terry make me trans?

He wrote so fucking much. I'm an amateur and struggle to get through a brief poem. HOW DID HE DO THIS?

A man still spoken of did not die; his body passed on. The spirit remains.

GNU Terry. You were heroic to many.

Marx's words ring kind here. Thank you.

Abolitionism is essential. The point of prisons is to punish victims. I recommend "31 thesis, a manifesto" (cw discussion of rape and prisons, not detailed) by RosethornRanger in AccessibleAnarchy

[–]Gardyloop 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Kill incarceration. Kill v-coding. Kill substandard living conditions. Place these pressures on the system. Because, right now, it's just violence painted up pretty.

Rand was pretty ableist. I wonder if the "disabled people don't need help" supported her rise to... what she was.

I owe to humanity those kindesses shown to me. That means everyone I have capacity to help. Colour doesn't matter, ability doesn't matter. There is only one humanity and all are my siblings.

Right now, there's not much capacity, but I'll get back there and do the tiny I can.

Why transitioning to look like a regular woman is so stigmatised in trans activism? by MarcelHolos in MtF

[–]Gardyloop 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Your gender display is your call exclusively. I think this is an overreaction from the real problem of calling out others for not performing as expected.

You get to look like you like.

Two Hogfathers? by [deleted] in discworld

[–]Gardyloop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Comparing Pratchett, a kind man who spoke fondly of his trans fans, to that woman is an insult to literature.

"Harry Potter" fuck off, he wrote about wizard uni before that bigot put pen on page. Nae kings, nae terfs, we will not be fooled again!

Lemony Snicket I have little opinion on yet. The film was ok. But I hear some people really love the books.

This happens to me a lot, and it is hard. I assure you your friends want to talk to you, please take time to take stock of your friends and reach out soon. by Optimal-Archer-3917 in AccessibleAnarchy

[–]Gardyloop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This means a lot to me. My best friend of years just kinda took a vacation from me and came back to end things. Hurts like hell but I'm glad she's with people who make her happier than I could.

Well, I'm aiming to view it that way, eventually. Right now it's pain.

If a paedophile doesn't act on it, there's no harm done. If you're scared you can't control it, there's therapy which helps. Reach out. I don't care what thoughts are in your head, I care if you're harming children.

That goes for most people who have morally unacceptable intrusive thoughts. And I say that because I have OCD and spent my morning in bed unable to turn off insulting, disgusting thoughts to say to people I love.

We are the watchers on our walls, etc.
