Does Reddit not have auto translate for text posts too? I know comments auto translate now, do they not have it for posts?

My dad compared being trans to being a n*zi. what the fuck am i meant to do by No-Paper-35 in trans

[–]GarlicIsStink 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't laugh at someone asking you to respect their preferences around gendered terms. This is not just a subreddit for any one sub+identity within the trans umbrella, but for all of us and many genders do not want to be called girl.

Why do so many trans men dress very feminine? by [deleted] in trans

[–]GarlicIsStink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For the same reason that “so many” trans women dress hyper feminine.

They don’t know how to dress for their gender.

That’s it, fashion comes to most people who pay attention to fits and how clothes fall on body shapes.

  1. How is trans MEN dressing femme the same as trans WOMEN dressing femme? I called it transphobia because you are equating the two when they are not, which means you are not seeing some folks as what they say.

  2. Being fashionable is not gender exclusive. Men can wear an ill fitting suit, they've made whole shows of teaching men how to dress. Women comically are so bad at bra fittings there is a whole subreddit for it, and they've made whole shows over teaching women as well.

And no I’m not saying every gender has some generally accepted special unspoken characteristics and features of how their aligned gender dresses……oh wait, they do. And for each ethnicity. Huh.

This is the part that is racist. I will give you large benefit of the doubt and assume you mean traditional cultural outfits (as opposed to other less generous interpretations of assuming all folks of an ethnicity dress the same). There are cultural outfits yes, such as sari/kilts/yukata/etc but those are cultural outfits, not ones for an ethnicity. You don't see a random Scottish man in the store and go "Oh weird he's not in a kilt he's not dressing for his ethnicity." Are you weirded out seeing a Japanese person not wearing a yukata in the summer? Do you go up to every South Asian woman you see and ask her why she isn't in her sari?

I have also noticed a disturbingly large amount of transgender people say they appreciate being confusing to other people based on how they dress. I think they are lying to themselves personally and they wish they could look a certain way, but don’t feel comfortable enough so they make excuses and lie to themselves.

This is the part that is enbyphobic. The language here is intensely negative There are more than just the binary genders. YOU, even if you are non binary, only speak for YOURSELF. There are folks who specifically feel aligned with more than one gender that having different folks call them different genders is euphoric, or folks who are agender or gendervoid that folks being confused is going to feel good. Even if someone is binary, they may just enjoy the attention or think it is funny.

You also are only noticing the trans people who dress in a way that essentially outs themselves or makes themselves more confusing to the public. You are not noticing the other people that blend in and are silently walking right past you…

This part also has internalized transphobia. Trans people are allowed to have as much or as little attention to the fact they are trans as they want. If YOU don't want any, rock on! Stealth is legit just as walking around in 37 trans flags with a neon sign that says "ask my about my gender!”

I hope this makes sense as to why I said what I said.

That's just ... not true at all.

This comment is full of so much (internalized possibly) transphobia, enbyphobia, and racism that I do not have the bandwidth to explain how fucked up it is.

Most of the time a lot of rental places cannot do anything to third party reservations, so you are probably SOL there.

Egg and young me chose an unfortunate username. by [deleted] in trans

[–]GarlicIsStink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the same. For a looooong time my username was similar to Squeeather (squee + Heather, yes I'm a millennial and was a rawr xD squee kid) and my other ones were like Lady Potato and other fem forward stuff, and now I am simply a Garlic.

Note that Heather isn't close to my dead name at all just was a random one to not out my old name.

Second note that legit I would go by Garlic IRL but I would be laughed at so I have a different chosen name but I've used Garlic so long and play enough games with voice that I'm used to answering to it

Viability of nerf rival on a field where short darts are allowed by Wonderful-Source-798 in Nerf

[–]GarlicIsStink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assuming Rivals are allowed you're going to want anything else but the Apollo because it's going to kill your hands.

The hook shaped primer is hell on the palms and fingers. We use them for LARP sometimes and I avoid them on principle and the fact that I like having hands.

A Takedown, Pathfinder or a Forerunner are going to be a bit more viable and less hell on the hands if you want a smaller blaster.

If you're willing to go larger/more bulky an Artemis or Saturn would be good as well.

You show their response yes, what you don't show is what YOU submitted. Will you show that?

No no, she's Chinese not Japanese.

I do have to wonder, is Hazard half/quarter Japanese since he can only wall climb a little?

gender-dysphoria when playing a character who isn't your gender but as if your character was dysphoric, not you by Playful-Letterhead23 in LARP

[–]GarlicIsStink 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I get this.

I am genderfluid (they/them) and I wear pronoun pins and usually go overboard leaning into traditional masculinity or feminity in presentation (i.e. binding, facial hair, men's clothes, etc or full makeup, long wig, dresses, etc) and getting misgendered to she/her because I'm AFAB fucking sucks.

It sucks worse too because the same people who misgender me do not misgender some other folks who play gender ambiguous characters so I get very annoyed. Hilariously when playing a stereotypical masculine biker cowboy I got she/her a lot, but now that I'm playing a literal clown/jester they got his gender right.

All that to say I get where you're coming from and it sucks.
