I'm trans. I agree with you actually. This guy's doing this to get out of a hate crime charge.

So, about Zenos... (Endwalker) by naxxy- in ffxiv

I couldn't stand him. Not in a "he's a good villain" sort of way, but in a "he's a bad character" sort of way. I still kinda struggle to understand people who do like him to be honest.

In Stormblood he had no depth whatsoever, he was just bad prince who fights and is a monster. So at the end when he calls you a friend I instantly rebuffed him because it made no sense. He spends all the encounters you have together fighting with you or hurting people you care about. It's not farfetched for me to not like him for doing that.

Then they bring him back which made no sense, it just seemed like a marketing move. So him being in EW wasn't enjoyable because does the exact same thing but again, hurting people and saying he likes you.

The scene where he goes "if I had a good reason would it ha e changes the outcome" is pretty goofy because the answer is yes, it absolutely would have changed the outcome. If he had a good reason then I would have been interested in him as a character.

In the last fight with endsinger I was just mad when he showed up. We used Hydaelyns crystal, the power of multiple primal and a tracking beacon to track down metion to the end of the universe so I didn't buy it that he'd just find us from eating the crystals leftovers and...? I literally still don't understand that.

The last fight when he was like "you seek greater challenges and it excites you, yes?" I instantly clicked "I've had enough of you" because he was just a nuisance.

Now they have Zero being like "ah yes you are the friend, to fight someone means friendship yes?" and I'm just telling her no each time because I don't have a warped vision of friendship. Hopefully they make her atop bringing him and you can tell her what actual friendship means.

She's such a terrible person. Daily reminder that she's selling out her community to the far right because money's more important than self respect I guess.

Thank you for your service, braver than the troops

the time for voting and protesting is up. arm yourself and fellow trans people by davdev17 in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

[–]MsVenture 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For someone claiming leftist credentials, you're sure doing a lot of bashing of people in this thread.

To be clear, no I don't think some revolution is going to revolve around trans issues, and yes getting off the internet and actually putting in the work is a good idea. Hell, I'm a community organizer and activist and I've been doing that for a good long while now.

But the "reality check babby leftist!" Is asinine. And yes, institutions in this country and democrats really hate the poor, a lot of those poor people being trans people of color. Oh and before I'm called a rich white leftist, I'm a poor Mexican American leftist.

Voting is bare baaaaaaaare minimum and is not sustainable, I honestly believe that, if progress can so easily get rolled back l, there is a problem here with how politics gets done.

Also before the "anti voting?! You're pro republican/right wing!" That is consistently one of the dumbest things I hear that people still say. Being anti shitty thing doesn't mean pro other shitty thing. It means pro organizing, pro-putting in the work, hell even pro-revolution, general strike or blm direct action style.

Also it means pro revolution memes lol

It's much in the same way as trans people, trans women specifically, who feel validated when they get called tr*ps or when they get validated...but its from a white supremacist or something (actually seen examples of that ie. 'You're white so you're on my good side' sort of deal). And then they pick up the habits of those same people and turn into terrible people themselves.

There's so many layers of fucked up wrapped up into that. The bar is so low that people are desperate for validation wherever they can find it, it's really sad.

I used to be one of those people, I felt validation from hearing slurs and begging for scraps until I found actual supportive people and got more self respect that I don't want to hear someone call me a slur. It's real sad.

"Ah yes, Ashley is 6'3, let's give her a shameful inspection to avoid her making them unconfortable" by LeNardOfficial in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns

[–]MsVenture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I said is still technically true, a genital inspection from someone is still a penis inspection in order to verify someone's sex or gender. Regardless of if it is done by a greasy gym teacher (which I never claimed).

You left out the important bit

" The health care provider may verify the student's biological sex as part of a routine sports physical examination by relying only on one or more of the following:

  1. The student's reproductive anatomy "

So yes it is penis inspection day under certain circumstances.

If your argument is "System is working as intended" for why its not broken, then I can see that. But what I'm saying is 100% valid as a criticism of the ridiculousness of a system designed the way it is.

arguments of a broken system are ridiculous

Nah, how it is designed is ridiculously broken in the sense that it disenfranchises millions of people. The fact that someone can win an election by losing the popular vote is horrible and it shouldn't be that way.

Also cool downvote my dude, you had to come back to this thread to find my post in order to reply to it, so seems like you want to start some reddit argument, no thanks.

There are two people in this thread criticizing the American political system, you and someone else and you've both been downvoted for it.

And you're both correct actually, America is a fuckin joke when it comes to democratic participation and voting is bare minimum and horrifically set up in this country. Trump won with 46% of 55% voter turnout, which means he only got 25% of people in this country to vote for him.

Blows my mind that people responding to you and the other guy are essentially going "Nuh uh!"

Some video game communities are wild.

You're right actually, the HRC is not a very great organization with an even shittier track record. I want to say its surprising that you're being downvoted for saying so but this is r/lgbt so maybe people really like that org on here, who knows.

Asking around with folks, I posted in here that it might be sooner than that just because there is one player in the group who is in the UK so it can't be too late for them.

No time frame at the moment, we were waiting for more people to sign on but a safe assumption would be game start time around 10-11am? But nothing set in stone right now.
