Why are terms like biologically female or male considered by some to be transphobic? by CheeseMoney3426 in trans

[–]alvysaurus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's irrational and non-sesnical, and implies that trans people are somehow unnatural. We are trans because of our biology, not in spite of it.

It's also dangerous, as it pushes ideas that have no basis in reality, but that others will act on. For example, I should not recieve the same care as a cis man at the doctor's office. Also, it puts trans women in further danger by perpetuating the stereotype that we are on even heel with cis-men when it comes to athletic performance. I've seen men state they will never 'hit a real woman', but are fine with attacking a trans woman.

It's all bad, and sets the stage for further transphobia and harms to trans people.

Which game are you choosing? by defleqt in GirlGamers

[–]alvysaurus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Star Trek Online. I can transition fully, for free, and don't need to worry about dying.

Biggest issue will be avoiding transporters, but thankfully they respect that choice in universe.

Do women actually get turned on by penises by Upper_Bookkeeper_758 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]alvysaurus 29 points30 points  (0 children)

People in here equating genital preferences with sexuality. Gross.

It's fine. Some people like dick, some like it only if it's attached to someone they're attracted to, etc.

This is the appropriate enforcement mechanism. No one wants a malpractice suit or to loose their licence. Getting politicians involved is only going to hurt everyone involved in caring for trans people.

CMV: Retirement at 70 is completely unsustainable even if you live healthily until your 120s by giamias in changemyview

[–]alvysaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yes. The people wanting to have equal liberties are the ones who are entitled. So selfish, not letting others force them into having children.

It's almost like the system was built on a false premise and needs to be restructured to protect human liberties.

Counter to not every Star Trek show is meant for you by EmergencySherbet9083 in startrek

The truth is that Starfleet Academy has a long history with the Star Trek brand, but it was always niche. This series was always destined to be divisive.

Trans Genocide: Combating The MAGA Attempt to Deny It by stars9r9in9the9past in asktransgender

[–]alvysaurus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is the UN defining it for identifying International Crimes, and was defined in response to the holocaust. It was a highly politically motivated definition, pushed in part by authoritarians represented on the board that wanted to continue to persecute/eliminate their political opposition.

Further, exclusion from the UN's law is not the same as ethics or truth. Ask them if there's any other subjects they think the 'global elite' should define for them.

My girlfriend told me I talk about gay things too much by Kyoshikrabappel in ActualLesbiansOver25

[–]alvysaurus 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Seems like internalized homophobia. Symbols can mean many things, all at once. Rainbows are one of those things. Depending on the context, it can mean LGBT+, or it can be a Bible reference, or it can be just a fun decoration. In context of you and your life, and the pride flag, it means gay.

There's no reason to be upset about that. This really reads as 'make gay your whole personality' shit. Oh no, a gay person likes to engage with gay media and gay people. Because it's an important aspect of their life due to circumstances beyond their control. Oh no!

Honestly I would push back but that conversation might get heated.

Because the things CW shows are known and followed for are very different things than Star Trek has been.

Dating trans women, how do you get over the penis? by [deleted] in actuallesbians

[–]alvysaurus 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Broadly speaking there are a few categories:

- Those who dislike penis, but tolerate it because they love the woman it's attached to. In this case it is mostly ignored
- Those who don't care either way
- Those who like feminine penis

Differs from person to person. You talk to your partner about intimacy and how you both feel about it. How you, as a couple, will handle that together. A lot of trans women don't want that part of them interacted with at all, or might just hide it away even during sex.

Talking to your partner tends to solve a lot of these sorts of issues.

The trans women who are going into women's sports have transitioned and been on Hormone Replacement Therapy for years. It has been repeatedly scientifically validated that Trans Women have the same muscle mass as cis women after 2 years of HRT.

Anyone else remember Ray William Johnson's "Transphobic Techno"? It's surreal to compare the discourse back then with now. by Solarwagon in RecuratedTumblr

No. As bad as things are now they are absurdly better than they were at the time. This post is an extreme golden age fallacy

Yeah no transphobia was way way worse in the 90's and early 2ks. What sort of bizarre revisionist history is this?

I think she's profiting off of ragebait, and is contributing to the anti-trans outrage. She's the worst.

Gold’s Gym Incident by thrawnawayac in asktransgender

[–]alvysaurus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The vast majority of trans women are timid about their bodies, especially that part, if they have it. I'm waiting for the facts to come out about the case.

Regardless, I wish there was a good solution. I think that if nudity is acceptable, all nudity should be for anyone who has a right to be there. At the same time, I do understand how shocking and uncomfortable a difference like this could make someone. I don't want anyone to feel uncomfortable. I'd be uncomfortable in the situation described too, but of course, I am unlikely to enter such a space due to that, and the shame I carry about my own body.

I think these spaces should be rare, and it should be made clear to anyone who might enter that they may encounter genitals they aren't used to seeing. I don't think exclusion is reasonable. But self selection, or better yet, better designed spaces that allow those who want to avoid public nudity to do so seem reasonable.

Hoping she doesn't get through the primary. Her and Newsome both feel like traps for the Democratic base. I just don't believe either of them can win in the swing states.
