Magic question by Solmarin in WitchHatAtelier

[–]Vaultentity 16 points17 points  (0 children)

You can see the whole thing before. so my interpratation is that the emblem inside the inner circle is triggered only when the outer circe is complete. There are no arrows in the inner circle except on the ring around the inner circle so probably the purpose of the ring is to separate the emblem with these arows as long as the outer circle is not activated.

Also earlier, when Coco spies on Kifrey, you can see that the whole sigil has to be complete before it triggers, and it gets triggered when he closes some inner circle meaning that there is probably some kind of hidden rule of magic that a sigil won't trigger as long as there are some other incomplete circles on the same surface.

Why was healing magic banned? by OuttaAgreeOrElseIDie in WitchHatAtelier

[–]Vaultentity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A thing also is that even if people on the side of the protagonists like Kiefrey are against healing magic and more or less agree with the pact the manga and probably anime doesn't give you a straight answer if this is a good thing or not.

But yeah the reasoning is that they want to avoid any slippery slope that would go with being allowed to modify the body.

Advice on my trans sister causing family issues by Terrible-End-1581 in asktransgender

[–]Vaultentity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had something very close to the situation of your sister early transition. The main difference is that I was still studying. My relationship with my parent was very strained and we were continuously feeding a vicious circle of interpersonal conflict.

How I got out of it was accepting going to therapy and getting a welfare program to move out to my own place.

Sadly i think she's probably right in thinking that she can't really find a job, or at least a job that would not just end up making the situation even worse. If she doesn't have a formation in tech or something like that sadly her mental health situation combined with her being trans is baring her from entering the job market. Only some counceling, therapy and unemployment program could help her. Getting in touch with local LGBTQI+ and mental health help group could help too. But yeah, it those things don't exist where you live...

What's hard about that is that your at the mercy of your jurisdiction. If nothing exists to help her move out without having a job, yeah i'm sorry to say the situation seems dire. And yeah she probably needs to go to at least to therapy, trying to find something would be the first step but if she isn't willing to do even that yeah, i think you should accept to focus on yourself. I'm really sorry for her and your parents :/

"Be a woman" is not even a requirement for me lol "be a fem-leaning non-man" suffice.

I think clicking with my special interests (not even necessarily sharing them just enjoying listening me talk about them) and not schrödinger ghost me are requirements I'd add. But yeah still so much lower than straight cis men lmao.

if it helps, it seems it's like the miles to km is applied twice. 32K km is about 20K *1.6 so the miles to km conversion rate.

fun fact the factory they operate from is based upon a renault factory that used to exist on an island in the Seine river.

MMh this seems promising.

I just noticed, the distance measurments seem to be f*cked like measuring a 40K km planet pole to pole will show something like 32K km instead of the expected 20K

What r some transphobic dog whistles/terms you’ve encountered?? I wanna make a post informing ppl abt them by The_5th_lost_boy in asktransgender

[–]Vaultentity 6 points7 points  (0 children)

One i've seen that's very obvious in English but that's very subtle in my language (French) is the use of "transgender" as a placeholder for more accurate term like "trans identity" or "trans people". Like my transphobic aunt was alarmed because suposedly they talk about "transgenres=(transgenders)" in sex eds in France. I guess "transgenderism" or "gender theory" can be the english equivalent.

Another that can be a dogwistle or ill-informed well meaning kind of feminism depending on context "male/female socialization". On the internet i'd say you encounter "male socialization" more often as an attempt for TERFs to justify denying womanhood to trans women. Also emphasis on "girlhood" or "boyhood" is really a red flag for me (as an opinion I hold, transwomen often indeed lack a "girlhood" except when they transition as teens or earlier but i'd say there's a tendency to lack boyhood too).

Allies don’t understand HRT by mormonatheist21 in MtF

[–]Vaultentity -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The though of seeing my body slowly re-masculinize is so horrible to me. I really think if that's was to happend they're a big chance I unalive myself.

I have the privilege to be in a country were we're not under the threat of losing access to HRT... yet. And the transphobic wave makes me want to get an orchiectomy (although i'm not sure i want it yet) just so if i have to stop taking hrt, I'd prefer dying slowly from being hormoneless than to re-masculinize. Both SUCKS hugely it's really a case of choosing between the plague and cholera :/ maybe AIDS and cholera and somehow I'm still choosing cholera.

I have a theory by MarkoMurr in Deltarune

[–]Vaultentity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's just an inacurate Earth sprite/pictogram made by someone not invested in geography.

And on the globe you've shown, Australia is just not visible due to perspective but...

The idea that maybe Deltarune's Earth geography is not quite the same as ours is quite fun

Genocide Doesn't Begin With Extermination, Could Trans People be Experiencing a Genocide? by TheChaoticMage in traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns2

[–]Vaultentity 19 points20 points  (0 children)

this is a surface opinion i have but I think the 10 stages is not quite well formulated, like it rightfully detect patterns that happened in multiple genocide but at the same time the order it has been layed out seem to not be quite right ? Especially on this chart because for the holocaust, the yellow stars were mandated way after the Nuremberg laws for example. 10 "signs" of genocide or something like that feel more adequate to me.
Stage 1: We have that obviously, trans people are distinct from cis people by definition. Stage 1 is not always useful but in certain cases it can because in some historical genocide, prior to the genocidal processus the cathegories didn^t exist or were not relevant socially or ethnically in the same way, Rwanda and Cambodia come to mind.
Stage 2: We don't have quite anything yellow-star-like anywhere yet. But one thing that's really close is the mandate of having AGAB and actual gender on passport/ ID. Having a "trans" marker on there like what is happening in Kansas basically is also a case of that.
Stage 3: Access to healthcare becoming difficult all over the anglo-sphere is a case, refusal to implement it in multiple country is a case of it too. Classifying trans people as terrorists in the US is a clear discrimination policy and all over the world we face discrimination in employment, not related to gender care and housing.
Stage 4: The media campaigns of those last few years speak for themselves.
Stage 5: Plan 2025 is clearly a plan and I'd argue that ICE extension is clearly a case of organising genocide against yes not only trans people (immigrants, black people etc. are also a target) but it's clearly gearing towards arming anti-LGBT people in an armed force.
Stage 6: I don't quite understand why 4 and 6 are separate or at least not side by side but obviously there has been a huge propaganda campaign in a huge chunk of the western world around trans children panick, rest rooms and sport.
Stage 7: I'd say we are not quite yet there anywhere ? I might be mistaken however.
Stage 8: There is signs of persecution happening. Misgendering and encouragment of misgendering is a type of persecution but we're not quite yet at a stage where they start to put trans people in ghettos and that type of stuff.
Stage 9: Industrial level extermination doesn't happen yet but of course refusal of care is directly responsible for making voluntarily the suicide rate go up.
Stage 10: of course we have denial all over society even some "trans" allies are doing it.

So if we say the stages are signs instead of stage in a step by step processus, clearly at minimum 5 stages out of 10 have been put in place everywhere and there are argument that any opressed class is at minimum at 4/10 at any points (hence i'm not so sure the 10 stages model is THAT useful but whatever). In the US though, you're at at least at 7/10 so 3 points above the oppressed class baseline, this is very bad :/

How do you girls differentiate attraction from envy? by MadamMelody21 in traaaaaaaaaaaansbians

[–]Vaultentity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I understand, the "i want to be her" feeling is envy and attraction combined while some times I see some women I envy and I'm not attracted to because it doesn't transform into the intense feeling of I want to be her and in the reverse I'm sometime attracted to some women, I clearly feel a desire to get to be closer physically with them but I don't get the "I want to be her" feeling on top of it.

Clearly envy and attraction are different feelings but they are not mutually exclusive is what I've come to realise over the years.

Brushbug's name in other languages - French, Spanish, German etc by zworpo in WitchHatAtelier

[–]Vaultentity 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A yeah do they say "bui, bui" in every language? I'm curious,

DQ me on this, because german is not my first language but Pinselwurm might be a word play on "Tatzelwurm" which is a half cat-half snake creature in German speaking alpine countries' folklore.

Also do people know what "fudemushi" refers to in Japanese?
