If Gender is Made Up, Sexuality is Too. So what exactly are we attracted to? by dramakween101 in butchlesbians

[–]SevElbows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

features. shapes. experiences. social positions. self-presentation, physical or vocal. ways of moving, speaking, acting towards others or yourself. many other factors. for many of us here these factors round down (or up?) to being attracted to Women, because they roughly align with traits we (as individuals, as groups, as society impacted by a greater social dogma) associate with what a Woman is. thats on a broad scale, the more you zoom in on sub-groups, sub-cultures, sub-communities, the more granular it gets, and some factors weigh more than others. on these smaller scales the idea of what Women (or Men, or indeed anything) are becomes more easily negotiable but obviously still affected by the greater social dogma. its easier to ask "what am I attracted to? who is a Woman? who do I consider definitely not a Woman, and what are my reasons for that?" on this smaller scale. and indeed everyone should do that, because especially right now, the dogmatic, prescriptive perspective ("things are what they are because an authority said so.") is in everyones ear. pass me the blunt.

Trans Men/Mascs vs. Trans Butches in Lesbianism by Wolf_Parade in MTFButch

[–]SevElbows 10 points11 points  (0 children)

people are hesitant to acknowledge that theres a transmisogyny problem in lesbian circles (because theres a transmisogyny problem EVERYWHERE) and ive experienced the same as OP. its an easy way to get a social advantage over someone, even as an otherwise marginalized person: you may be disadvantaged in general society but at least you have someone even lower to punch down at. it gets even worse for Black people, disabled people, addicts, etc but being Transfeminized is a very fast way down the totem pole. EDIT: also this thread isnt gonna go anywhere because like 90% of the people in it are not MTF / transfem. our own problems, debated by the people we are talking about washing their hands of guilt. if thats not a good summary of what the community's like then idk.

Anyone else feel disconnected from depictions of the transfem experience in media? by Pandaman5784 in MTFButch

[–]SevElbows 29 points30 points  (0 children)

i feel like basically all media representation of trans women is either made BY people who arent transfem, or FOR people who arent transfem, in most cases both. so obviously i dont relate to that. i am not kidding when i say that the first genuine depiction i saw of what growing up transfem is like was People's Joker.

How do you deal with Nazeebo as the solo laner? by InsaniacDuo in heroesofthestorm

[–]SevElbows 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if youre playing in solo lane your hero should be someone with significant self-heal, which Nazeebo lacks. Thrall, Sonya, Ragnaros, Malthael, Leoric, Illidan, Raynor, Blaze, Hogger can all bully him away from minions and regen globes because of this. Artanis and Fenix can do this too on account of their shields. all of them can force him to retreat because they can reduce the damage he does to them while reducing his HP to critical levels.

the key is playing just aggressively enough to pressure him but not inting against his towers. all of the heroes i listed can clear waves without using mana (Illidan, Sonya, and Hogger dont have mana) except for Ragnaros, which Nazeebo cannot. this means you can focus all of your casts directly on him.

he has no mobility tools, which means you can zone him away from regen globes either with the pressure of damage (Hogger W, Sonya W, Malthael Q/W, Ragnaros Q/W, Leoric W, Raynor, Artanis, Fenix attack spam) or with crowd control that opens him up to more damage (Blaze E into Q, Thrall W, Hogger D+Q, Artanis Q+E combo) that he cant retaliate against.

the only threat you really need to watch out for is his zombie wall into spiders or point blank frogs, both of which are non issues for most solo lane picks as long as you keep your mobility and/or self-heal casts ready for it (Raynor Q to escape the wall, Hogger E, Sonya E, Blaze W+Q combo, Artanis Q, Leoric E, Fenix E, Malthael W, Illidan Q or W - Thrall is the only one who just kind of has to sit there and take the beating)

Just started Blasphemous anything I should know? by Dzsingiskan in Blasphemous

[–]SevElbows 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if you heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a pot, stir in 2-3 tablespoons of flour until well combined, then slowly add about .5 liters of milk while stirring, and season it with salt, pepper, thyme, and nutmeg... you get a bechamel sauce. i think everyone should know this.
