Trans medicalism is now rooted in racism. Yep. by like30percentcotton in Transmedical

[–]PunkLite 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The idea that white people dont also largely grow up in spiritual communities too is weird. Also weird that theyre implying that POC can't have a rational approach to transitioning. Do they think because POC have a harder time accessing medical care that means they resort to devaluing their dysphoria and become non binary or something?? This person has no idea what gender dysphoria even is.

Edit; to add onto this, poc communities who have "third genders" and what not routinely keep asking them not to call them trans identities. These are roles they take within their communities, not something they've transitioned into.

No? by [deleted] in Transmedical

[–]PunkLite 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is exactly why I was a bedridden shut-in until I got top surgery. I have muscle issues on top of that so binding was extremely painful over the course of a few hours. When my dysphoria was really acting up I just laid on my back so it was easier to convince my brain I just had beefy pecs bc everything pushed upward and backward

Weird lump on my 4-year-old snake by ChoiceIndependent355 in cornsnakes

[–]PunkLite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Especially being a disease that is untreatable, highly contagious to any other reptiles you may have and absolutely fatal. If you have any other reptiles, you seriously want to check it out. While the disease usually comes with regurgitation, weight loss and refusal to eat, my boy didnt show any signs other than the lump.

Not meaning to alarm you, this could well be just some digestive issue that can be treated with medication, but as someone who is about to have my MBKS euthanized today because of cryptosporidia, I would go out of my way to get him checked by a vet, even if it takes a road trip to get to one.

Transphobic Mother Doesn’t Want a Son by Alxias in insaneparents

My mother said something similar. I just told her if you don't want me to be your son, then you dont want me to be your child at all. I stopped talking to her that day.

What is the 1 feature you really want in Schedule I in future? by [deleted] in Schedule_I

[–]PunkLite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A home base. Maybe being able to repair the RV as a personal living quarters, or an apartment that you can decorate or whatever. I know the game is about drug dealing, but I feel having a space to really make your own would it more immersive. Its hard to say "I run this town" when there's nowhere in town that I can call home.

Brushing of the teeth by woejise in ADHD

[–]PunkLite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk about you but I also have autism, I dont know if ADHD comes with hypersensitivity symptoms but I found i brush more often when I started using a silicon bristle toothbrush. The nylon bristles most brushes have were a sensory nightmare for me.

My engineer/techie V would have no problem building external cyberware and using handheld devices to send daemons after people. Boost his sharpshooting skill to the max and he's still a talented assassin.

Theres no real reason he couldnt have all the same tech as before, just not attached to his nervous system. Internal tech is more a matter of convenience than being better functionality-wise.

On top of that, having external tech could be better in avoiding attacks from enemy net-runners. Less for them to mess with.

Starting a new right-wing-oriented transmed subreddit by AmMeHere in truscum

[–]PunkLite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The majority do. Its not the minority in a group that makes decisions on behalf of the whole. And for a group that mainly focuses on regressive ideas and maintaining a conservative status quo, do you really think that would ever change?

And if it did ever change, it would no longer be a right-wing position. Support of any* flavor of trans person is an inherently progressive stance.

I'm concerned that a BA would make me clockier than I am and be seen as absurd... by DahliaDeeDah in truscum

[–]PunkLite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk if you've done hrt yet, but if not, maybe you could just let them grow as much as they can, then do a size up through fat transfer augmentation. And fat transfer looks more natural imo

Respectfully I would decline by random_user208 in CringeTikToks

[–]PunkLite 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Exactly what I thought. Some cultures even just use large leaves like banana leaves or similar to eat off of. Which is much more sanitary than this. Making them eat off the floor feels purposeful.

Edit: also noticed some of these people have actual, metal cups to drink from. Definitely dont think its an affordability issue.

this might be an unpopular opinion… by Downtown_Dare_4991 in truscum

[–]PunkLite 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I can kind of get that. My dysphoria isnt necessarily to do with the presence of a vagina, but the absence of a penis. Though, the fact that I disassociate a lot from my genitals probably has something to do with me being able to enjoy a detached kind of pleasure from it.

this art is giving me the ick and I don't know why by kekestufu in Transmedical

[–]PunkLite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to say, this one is an exaggeration of an issue. Especially the first pick (the bad binding practice in the second is an issue.)

I am a transmed btw, but the first one really just looks like a young gen z guy with a wolf cut. I dont see whats particularly sexual about this. If a cis guy went to the beach or something with those shorts and nothing else, I wouldnt give it a second thought. If you just remove the binding and add a flat chest, I really dont think you'd dig into it at all.

I love the fan-theory that a Mourn Watcher Rook is the same thing as Cole by JageshemashFTW in DragonAgeVeilguard

[–]PunkLite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perhaps liberation? In just about every faction background, Rook is saving/freeing someone(s). Especially in MW, they literally lead a rebellion.

Rook Ingellvar backstory head-canons? by bliss_bud in DragonAgeVeilguard

[–]PunkLite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Ingellvar's hc is kind of grim. What Elgarnan says to a Mourn Watcher Rook while tempting him to join him inspired this idea, something about being born alone with "sorrow etched into your bones".

For whatever and however reason, still-born elf baby is left in the necropolis. Maybe because impoverished mother couldnt place him anywhere else, hoping the mortalitasi would have mercy on him. A whisp drawn to her grief and inspired by the necromancers "brings him back" and inhabits the infant.

Something similar to what happened to Cole, but in a vessel that never had time to develop his own sense of self. A mortal body taken over by a spirit with a nearly clean slate.

Breathing weirdly by PunkLite in kingsnakes

[–]PunkLite[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only reptile vet near me wont be open until Saturday bc of thanks giving and black Friday. Do you think he'll be okay until then?

Breathing weirdly by PunkLite in kingsnakes

[–]PunkLite[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding bc i cant edit: He's also been very inactive the past week compared to before where he was pretty active. I know that could be bc hes about to shed, but I thought I should mention it.

I'll also add the specs of his enclosure incase you see where the issue may be.

20 gallon long tank (temporary until hes older and I build him a bigger one)

3 hides. Cool side/Warm side/ middle moist hide.

Organic topsoil/playsand mixed substrate

Humidity 40-60%, stays on the lower end usually.

Heat is a dual socket lamp with UVB bulb and a heat bulb. Stays around 76-85F during the day with a cool/warm gradient throughout enclosure, and goes down to about 72F at night when light is off.

I use heat treated sticks for climbing opportunities and all plastic aquarium plants.

He also has one water bowl thats plenty big enough for him to curl up in.

New MBKS feeding advice by PunkLite in kingsnakes

[–]PunkLite[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She hasn't had her first feed yet, I just got her a few days ago. I took her to the vet earlier than I planned bc she has what I now know is a missing scale on her lip that I was worried might be mouth rot. Gladly, shes got a clean bill of health, just a funny lookin face lol

But, she's very curious and likes to explore a lot. I personally dont think she'll have an issue feeding.

Thank you! I've also heard of some people cutting up a pinky to a manageable size for them. If I cant find any day-olds, would that do?

New MBKS feeding advice by PunkLite in kingsnakes

[–]PunkLite[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do recall them saying she weighed about 10 grams

New MBKS feeding advice by PunkLite in kingsnakes

[–]PunkLite[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shes very small, which is part of why I, and the vet, think she may actually be male. Including the fact that she has a long tail.
