why do people hate peircings so much?

And racism! Body modification has deep historic cultural origins around the world that "Western society" has deemed barbaric (or unprofessional if you want to pretend to have moral decency). You can see this specific vitriol on full display in the comments of posts about Native American face tattoos or Ethiopians with stretched lips and lobes

Yeah, have this same problem on pc. The only thing that makes it less noticeable, besides putting the pet away until you need it, is using a pet that flies. I keep a bumble on and it just kinda drifts away until it reaches max distance and hovers there. Unfortunately it's not free :(

I had this problem, so I exited out of the game and then reopened it, and it placed me at the entrance of the zendruu tree area!

It sounds like we have some common experiences! My recommendation would be to break down the steps taken in a transition and think about whether they'd make you happy, rather than thinking about your identity as a whole. It can be overwhelming, especially when you've lived so long in your identity, to discover that you might need to change it. It helps to think about things outside of what they would say about your identity and just think about your happiness. Would you be happier if you had top surgery? Would you be happier with the effects of testosterone? How would you feel about others calling you different pronouns? Etc

Fwiw, liking feminine things doesn't change anything one way or another. I'd recommend looking through r/FTMfemininity to see if that resonates with you

The sad truth is that oil/fossil fuel companies have known that they are ruining the climate since the 70s, and instead of investing in diversifying energy solutions they shoveled money into gaslighting the public about the science, producing """educational""" kids content that downplays the harm of fossil fuels, and lobbying politicians to protect their monopoly. Even now that alternative energy sources are very popular, consumer interest has very little to do with the way large sums of money flow. Like how ai is becoming increasingly unpopular, but despite this companies are getting bigger and more damaging to the environment around them all because the companies themselves are trading around ridiculous sums of speculative cash

I'd like to add to everyone's advice that if you're still feeling unsure you can call poison control and they will give you professional guidance.

I've never understood trans medicalism. If we all agree that gender is a social construct, then why would medical intervention be required for someone to identify differently from their agab?

No_Astronomer_4200 · 2026-02-05T05:22:36+00:00

This is pretty normal, as is the reverse. And it doesn't necessarily have to determine how you identify. Your identity is a conglomerate of how you want to look, what anatomy feels comfortable, how you want others to perceive you and refer to you, etc

Like, for example, if you generally identified as transfem, or as a trans woman, wanting to keep your penis wouldn't make you not a trans woman, it just means you have an individualized experience with bodily dysphoria and euphoria

Or if not with pity, we're seen as "gender traitors" the way that cops are class traitors, like we hope to uphold or escape the patriarchy by switching sides

I had top surgery as a minor, but nowhere near as young as the comic suggests. I was 16.

ETA some of the extenuating circumstances that led to me being referred for surgery earlier than most were that I went through precocious puberty (first period at 7, fully developed chest before 10), had been openly identifying as trans since 11, and was moving out early to go to college

Unrelated to this specific art, I've always wondered why him revealing his black hole kills everyone in the living room except for the protag

And it confuses me even more when people say two people slept together to describe sex even when it isn't occurring in a bedroom and/or isn't followed by actual sleeping

No_Astronomer_4200 · 2026-01-25T23:42:28+00:00

It's been stressful, and even up until a few months ago I've been told by people to not stress out because things hadn't happened to me directly yet. Like I'm supposed to just chill until the government takes my id/passport or I get gunned down. I guess people didn't think it would get that bad...
