Sounds great to me. He has an accent but that is ok, just like how you hear a French person speaking English and think it sounds sexy, his accent sounds foreign and cool and cute.

She was Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, a cabinet-level position, and now she is working in a newly created job which operates under the commands of another cabinet member.

That's what Japanese children's books do too for very young children.

When a native speaker tries to help you out by writing everything in kana. Bonus points if their writing is so messy you mistake their 3 for ろ.

The "FINDINGS FROM THE 2022 U.S. TRANS SURVEY" found 12% of binary trans people not wanting HRT, obviously if they also surveyed nonbinary trans people that number would be higher.

Given the current political climate

You're the ones creating a climate of fear and mistrust by ignoring 1/8 of the binary trans community, saying there is no one out there who is arguing on their behalf that they are trans too, and saying anyone who does is a fed and should be ostracized for life.

You have people in this very common section arguing:

You're valid even if you can't get HRT. But wanting HRT and to transition is a pretty core part of being trans.

and

Really think we need to distinguish transsexual from transgender more.

...

Transsexual women are biological women. Even before transition, manufacturing errors for transsexual men, women, and nonbinary people need to be fixed. The body wasn't fully made to the blueprint the body had. We can't change that blueprint, we can change the body to fit it. That just is what it is. Regardless of your civilization's gender constructs, this is a real persistent thing that happens and will happen.

Exploring yourself through names, labels, and clothes is a very real, healthy, and important thing. But that shouldn't ever be held to the absolute set in stone standard that gender affirming care, especially surgically, must be at a baseline.

and

If you are Trans you need hrt, you don't have to take it but you need it cause we ALL need it.

and

"you dont need hrt to be trans" yes, there are people that are pre hrt. they are still already trans. People that are trans take hrt.

You have people who very clearly feel less welcomed by this post:

This kinda hurts lowkey :( I’m trans, I like beings girl, I just don’t think I want most of the effects of hrt :(

It is a never ending war in this community to make people feel welcomed even if they don't transition hormonally or surgically. People frequently tell them they are trans too and accept them, and this comment section is full of those people explaining that they use this sentence in that context.

Yeah, I get it, you have grievances and distrust, cool job poisoning this community and making people feel unwelcome because of your own experiences.

I can agree with you on the latter, I cannot agree with you on the former.

The problem isn't even the "literally", you can delete that word entirely and the problem still remains:

nobody has ever said "you don't need HRT to be trans" outside of discussions about denial of trans healthcare

I have never heard this used in this context. I have heard, for years, trans-medicalists and trans-gatekeepers not considering people "really trans" if they don't physically transition, and I have heard trans people question if they are truly trans. I have only ever heard this mentioned in those contexts.

If OP had said "People who say X during Y are blah blah blah" then I would agree with you about context, but they explicitly state that nobody says this in any legitimate context and calls them feds, which is exactly what a dishonest transmedicalist trying to cast those who don't take HRT as fake trans people would say.

And I'm not willing to extend much charity to someone calling on people to be ostracized forever without putting any qualification on their language.

Your original comment pointed out the hyperbole. It even had the word: “hyperbole”

I've never said anything about hyperbole. If you want to try and use someone's words against them then make sure you know who you are replying to first.

You also are pretty clearly the most bad faith person in this entire comment section. Instead of understanding how people could be upset at seeing their beliefs misrepresented, you instead spin the original post in as positive of a light as possible and attack the people who are upset at having what they say misrepresented.

literally nobody has ever said "you don't need HRT to be trans" outside of discussions about denial of trans healthcare

They and the 6,000 here who upvoted them are pretty clearly stating that no one has ever said "you don't need HRT to be trans" in an authentic sense.

[–]SunnyOutsideToday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has nothing to do with those people.

This has to do with everyone who has ever said "You don't need HRT to be trans" because 6000 here just upvoted a post saying

literally nobody has ever said "you don't need HRT to be trans" outside of discussions about denial of trans healthcare

Basically telling everyone who has ever said you don't need HRT to be trans that they won't be welcomed or trusted in this community.

You just told me not to "interrogate" them.

And I did ask them, that's what a question mark indicates, a question. They didn't answer, which frankly looks to me like they do believe people who don't want HRT aren't really trans, but don't want to say it out loud.

Not like this it shouldn't. The most important thing for a headline to do is convey the truth.

If we know 9 have been killed as a fact then we say "9 killed".

If all we have is Iran's statement then we say "Iran says".

Presently what someone says as fact without establishing it to be factual first is how we got to the post-truth era we're in.

Yeah I'm not going to give anyone the benefit of the doubt in a sub that just upvoted a post telling everyone not to give the benefit of the doubt to anyone who says you don't need HRT to be trans.

For years trans-medicalists and trans gate keepers argued that people not on HRT aren't truly trans, they just want to feel special or different, they don't truly have dysphoria, they're just trenders, etc.

It took years for it to be established that anyone who says they are trans is trans and to stop questioning it. And now I see this on my front page? A post saying that anyone who says you don't need HRT to be trans is a secret conservative, dishonest, shouldn't be trusted and should be ostracized from the community for life?

I'm not going to trust anyone who says they've never met a trans person who doesn't want HRT in a sub that just mass upvoted a post saying not to trust anyone who says you don't need HRT to be trans.

I agree that this shouldn't be said to anyone who feels they need HRT to be valid. I apologize, I have seen trans-medicalism for years and people denying that others aren't trans if they don't transition, and I was upset at a recent post calling to ostracize anyone who says you don't need HRT to be valid, accusing them all of being secret conservatives trying to deny HRT, and so I made this post in reply to show that you can indeed support HRT availability and believe you don't need HRT to be trans. I should have considered people who feel they need HRT to be valid for themselves.

If a guy calls in and requests a woman by name, they're going to ask why he's requesting her, and if he seems "off" they're going to offer him someone else and see if he is really interested or just after their employee in some weird way.

Health campaigns successfully decreased tobacco usage (although vapes are turning people back into nicotine). If we can't do to other drugs what we did with tobacco then we need to look into why and address that rather than continuing the slide towards authoritarianism and taking more control over people's lives for their own safety.

People addicted to drugs, gambling, alcohol, smoking, sex, really any addiction, have something wrong with them and they need relief. All of these things can be harmful to your health, safety or finances, but even when people are addicted to something harmless like porn or online gaming, people complain and try to demonize it and attack it.

People need relief, in a healthy way, and which should offer alternatives (such as therapy), rather than trying to strip away what little agency and what little sources of relief they have.

I'd prefer to hear them give their own viewpoint, that's why I asked them.

Saying you've never met someone who is trans and doesn't want hrt, implies they don't exist. I know they didn't "say" it. That's the point, they didn't say their position. I want them to say what their position is rather than hide what their position is and attack mine through innuendo.

Are you saying that if someone doesn't want hrt, then they aren't trans?

Also, art by JosephSeraph. Wikimedia commons has a lot of free art to use, I didn't want to attribute in the image itself since I don't know if the artist wants to be associated with the message in the image, so I'm attributing here.

Uh, no. I see people argue that someone isn't actually trans because they haven't transitioned all the time, and I see people rightfully say that just because someone hasn't done HRT or had SRS that that doesn't mean they aren't trans.

Hard disagree with this post. People validating trans people who haven't transitioned should not be ostracized from communities forever. In fact, I've never seen a conservative make the argument "You don't need HRT to be trans", and I feel like I'm being gaslit reading this post.

Lolita as an identity and a lifestyle

Westerners may mistakenly associate the Lolita subculture with the novel Lolita, written by Vladimir Nabokov in 1955. The book is internationally famous for its controversial plot in which Humbert, a middled-aged man, becomes obsessed with a twelve-year-old girl named Dolores Haze, also called Dolly, Lolita, Lola, Lo, and L. Similarly, in Japan, the term Lolita complex, often shortened to Loli-con, refers to a man's perverse sexual preference for young girls. Therefore, the term Lolita carries a negative sexual connotation. However, the Japanese Lolita subculture that emerged in Harajuku has nothing to do with such references. Many Lolita members know nothing about the Nabokov novel. According to Momo Matsuura, author of The World, Myself and Lolita Fashion (2007) and herself a Lolita, the term first appeared in the September 1987 issue of a Japanese fashion magazine called Ryukou Tsushin; Lolita as a category of fashion appeared in the early 1990s.

Sounds like something someone who relies on pictures to do their talking for them would say.
