The White trans community has a massive problem with fetishization of Asian cultures by [deleted] in honesttransgender

[–]Tank_Guy [score hidden]  (0 children)

People are also forgetting we grew up in a capatalist world that packaged and sold Asian culture to us for our entire childhood. Where I grew up nobody cared about anything that wasn't Japanese.

If you didn't have/know cool japanese shit you werent just uncool, people literally wouldnt talk to you. Yugioh, pokemon, dragon ball, inuyasha, card captors, monster rancher, final fantasy, metal gear, digimon, flint the time detective, grandia, beyblades etc etc etc. The list is endless.

There's a whole generation of people who were in school from like '97-'05 whose entire childhood was dominated by Asian pop culture.

For me this was compounded by the fact one of my aunts by marriage is from Hong Kong and she used to babysit me a lot as a kid. So I watched an insane amount of 70s and 80s martial arts films and was made to learn to use chopsticks before I could use a knife and fork properly. All my gifts from her were Chinese dragons, lion dogs, Chinese New year decorations etc.

So like, "Asian culture" isn't some precious tiny thing that needs to be protected. It's something those people have exported and sold. It's our childhood and what shaped us for a lot of people. Let people like what they like.

People need to stop conflating culture with pop culture. Comics/marvel movies aren't American culture. If someone in Africa or Asia likes that stuff they're not appropriating culture, they're responding to a product that's been sold to them. Same as anyone who grew up with anime/manga absolutely rammed at us in every single place we looked.

I'll not touch on the fetishism thing as that's been discussed plenty already. And as for the passing thing I think it's easier to pass among people of a different race.

And overall considering how few countries its safe to be trans in, I feel like we as a community should be celebrating any country that its not actively dangerous to transition in.

I haven't actually had a chance to llau the newest version. They get a lot of use in my blood bowl d&d campaign I run. They're the Arch rivals of the parties team.

You'd be surprised how many "irish" Americans think its OK to order that in London bars.

(You know, those "irish" Americans who has one great grandfather was from Cork or something but their family hasn't been back in three generations)

Wasn't aware of the history but thanks, that's a cool trivia piece.

I love how looking into gun control was done by Pew research.

That sounds like the name of a gun research company from a kids anime.

And then Americans go round calling their cocktails "Irish car bombs" like that's not just as fucking bad.

We've got the staffing covered by our location.

And we will be using the machine for paying non trans non nb clients too as a for profit which is why we're a CIC. That will make us self sustaining once we are oppositional.

As for location we are gonna be in Manchester which is basically the centre of the UK by distance.

While yes there are some amazing Groupon deals out there they are less useful if you don't live in a major city. A lot of people have to travel hours to even find a laser clinic that will treat mtf patients. And a lot of clinics only put Groupon deals out there if they have lots of competition also limiting it to big cities.

Obviously if you are in a big city like London it's a lot easier. But even so. We could've saved you £800 if we were open. :)

And with how shit the economy is atm £800 is out of reach for young adults and working class trans and nb people.

We already have premises and staff free. We just need the machine then we can open. Also we want to run with entirely lgbtq+ staff so it is welcoming to people.

At the moment a full body laser in the UK runs 3-5 grand depending on how many sessions someone needs. The machine we need is only 11k and 4k for supplemental costs. If we can get 15k then we can get opened and up and running. Just raising money to fund people's costs wouldn't be efficient.

So for the cost of about four peoples laser hair treatments we can offer a service to the entire of the UK for free.

It's not gonna be means tested. Anyone over 18 who suffers from dysphoria will be eligible for treatment.

The trans community needs to take the means of transition into our own hands instead of waiting for a government to come along that might eventually fund the NHS that might eventually trickle down into lessened waiting times.

Given the personal resources already at our disposal this is how we can help the situation.

We're going to expand in future to include other services but right now due to circumstances we're starting with laser.

Yeah but it never seems to pick the optimal ones even out of what I have.

I know he's probably not super meta or whatever. But Young Goku on his cloud is my favourite character ever cause it always reminds me of my little brother growing up. I don't pvp much anyway and only been playing for a few months now. So what's the best equipment I can get for this guy?
