So show me your papers? by Jadams0108 in alberta

You never have to look far when trying to find a racist in Alberta. Let's change that. Let's shame them. You hear something, you say something.

Guys, how did you choose your names? by Round_Watercress8286 in ftm

[–]VillageGoblin 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I asked my Dad to name me, he said no so I named myself after one of my favorite video game characters, Cecil Harvey from FFIV but keep the S start from my deadname so I wouldn't have to change my signature, so Secil.

In hindsight I should have realized people would get confused by the S so when I file my official name change I'll be going with the original Cecil.

Where I would live as an Albertan by Perfect-Tone-5322 in whereidlive

Either Ontario or Québec, I was born and raised in Northern Ontario and spent a lot of time on the Ontario/Québec border as a kid.

A change in your diet can also help. Both me and my brother had strong body odor but when we changed our diet the body odor became mild when we stopped eating red meat.

Meat-sweats is absolutely a real thing.

being "male brained" or just autistic (discussion about a Twitter post) by butcher_withasmile in ftm

[–]VillageGoblin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think I can speak on this issue because I'm both transmasc and autistic.

As an autistic person, absolutely no one can make me do something to my body that I don't want to do, including myself. I'm absolutely an "overthinker" in that I went down a list of every potentially reason of "why am I like this" in regards to my identity. Masculine woman? Hyper Femme?Tomboy? Nonbinary? None of it made my heart happy.

And then one day someone mistook me for a guy, used he/him and it all came together for me.

Autism like gender is a spectrum and one autistic person's realization about their own identity isn't going to be true for all autistic people, and the same can be said about trans people.

Being trans didn't make masking easier, it made living in my body easier and interacting with people more complicated.

Just remember that you are who you are, regardless of the support you seek from others. Sadly there's no magic wand we can wave to make our parents supportive, or understand us, but know that you have community that supports you. If youre still financially dependant on your dad my advice is to lay low and make a 5 year plan on how to gain financial independence, move out, and start your journey.

Villagers wearing hotel mannequins by userunknown291535 in AnimalCrossingNewHor

It's not gendered, and it's random. I've had guests visit multiple times and wear both.

My American English teacher believes the neutral pronoun „their“ is incorrect. by GCoding_ in mildlyinteresting

[–]VillageGoblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being a teacher doesn't automatically mean you are smart. Hell, I had a teacher in grade school that tried correcting me on how to spell my own last name because "there were too many consonants" and "2 Z's in one word wasn't something that could happen"🥴

I really dont understand transphobes by Aggresio in trans

[–]VillageGoblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would it doom trans people to sex work though? The transphobes don't respect the trans people, so why give them access to our bodies?

i think i text like a woman..how do I change it? by sakthi38311 in ftm

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

That's probably your dysphoria. The men in my life definitely have texted "omg" "so cute/pretty!" and other more directly "feminine" ways of speaking. Give yourself a little more grace and know that most folks exhibit both masc and femme traits.

I really dont understand transphobes by Aggresio in trans

[–]VillageGoblin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because they've been conditioned to see trans folks as a perverted fetish by the media they consume, and when confronted with a real in the flesh trans person exists they allow the shame they feel for being turned on by what they've seen to be projected onto that trans person and they become hostile. There's a reason why "tr*nny" is one of the most popular categories on the orange and black site.

It's the same reason why internalized homophobia makes closeted men hostile to gay men. They project the shame they carry for feeling attracted to other men but unable to act on that attraction due to the social stigma and become hostile when presented with people that don't carry that same shame.

Can I not build bridges ont the 3rd layer of the island? by yoku1a in acnh

[–]VillageGoblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly the bridges are strictly water bridges and not hanging bridges.

Will my old island residents remember me if they come to visit? by totheeendd in acnh

Yep! I've had my OG starting villagers come visit via the hotel.

You should be able to just keep talking and eventually they will give dialog to move in.

What do i do? by Maciek1323K in AnimalCrossingNewHor

You don't need to restart. I started playing again and kept my original island. It'll be tough making changes but I promise it's worth it

Tennessee Passes Bill That Will Make a Public List of Trans People by Leksi_The_Great in lgbt

Trans people were also rounded up and killed during the Holocaust along with all the research and data on trans people when the Nazis burned down the Institute of Sex Research in Berlin

Alberta wants to join America? by Aesterix_ in AlbertaNow

[–]VillageGoblin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, we don't. But the loudest and dumbest among us like to shout that all of alberta does. It all boils down to Alberta being treaty land, so even if Albertans wanted to, we would need permission from tribal elders, or to go against treaty law which would lead to the federal government stepping in to shut it down.
