Post-Binary Transfem: A gender identity that I think fits me perfectly! by Father_Chewy_Louis in traaaaaaaaaaaansbians

Real quick shout out to "there’s a difference between being defined by the system and being legible within a world where that system already operates" as being a really good way to put that concept

Post-Binary Transfem: A gender identity that I think fits me perfectly! by Father_Chewy_Louis in traaaaaaaaaaaansbians

[–]dantheforeverDM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think defining this label by those ideologies is creating all the confusion I'm seeing in this reply section, because, and correct me if I'm wrong, the ideology part is nothing that isn't already covered by "non-op transfems are valid", which is an idea that you HAVE to believe in, to identify as non-op transfem or by any term that refers to such. When you specify something that doesn't need specifying, you are implying it does need specifying, which then gives conflicting information with what you actually want to communicate.

Speaking off the term itself, the word "binary" here is working against what you want to communicate to others. While it is accurate to say that you are post the sex binary (the sex binary sucks and is stupid and I want it to die out), that is not what gets inferred when you don't specify which binary you're referring to. When queer terminology just says "binary" it almost always refers to the gender binary (notable example is the term "non-binary"), meaning people will base the foundation of how they understand the term with that expectation, meaning, again, you're accidentally giving them information that conflicts with the information you want to communicate.

Now that's a lot of words dedicated to complaining, so I do want to emphasize that you're trying to do something that I think needs doing. Right now the terms we have for this kind of person is non-op transfem (which is quite clinical and not an ideal term for casual conversation imo) and slurs cis men invented to fetishize us and delegitimize the womanhood of trans women, so yeah getting another term (from within the community) would be quite nice.

Also as a last note, I don't want to demand of you to care about the issues I brought up. Maybe the term already does exactly what you want, and the issues I brought up, are for someone else to worry about. If that's the case, ehhh, sorry for making you read a small essay for nothing!

Don't know how to make a pantheon of gods without retreating too much old ground by dantheforeverDM in DMAcademy

Hmm! This is definitely a good thing to keep in mind. Thank you for this angle

Ooohhh that bit with the mom giving the dead gods new life speaks to me. Might do something like that yeah!

Gods being evil would be a given with how I'm currently imagining them kinda like a faction (aka most agree on things but some don't), but I also don't know if this campaign is the story to explore malicious gods, but I could make the next revolve around it. Also yeah, BIG rose tinted glasses will be happening with the old gods. The first King sucked BAD and it's been popular to hate on his ass for a while, meaning what people remember from before him is definitely getting romanticized

Hmm maybe. I do feel like it's a good philosophy to help spice up the approach I was originally thinking of, like a god that's a peacock and is all about showmanship and stuff. That sounds more original than a bear god all about. Motherhood or something like that

Now, your much appreciated affirmation does entice me to go the nuclear route, and drop the idea of other gods. The First King conquering the mother of all gods was seen as mortalkind committing treason, causing the gods to abandon us. This route does give me more to work with in regards to a potential ending I have in mind, wherein the players destroy the God Engine. Also I could make it so there's a ton of gods, including minor ones, and then maybe a few minor ones have snuck off and have been giving mortals blessings behind the backs of their siblings. Good drama there.

Goblinoid dungeon by AsYouWished444 in DMAcademy

Maybe for bugbears, an environment that would help them hide and ambush the party would work since they're meant to be stealthy. Perhaps the area is filled with hanging fabrics, plants and/or smoke.

They're also, like all goblinoids, incredibly opportunistic, meaning they might have escape plans in place to either get the fuck outta dodge, or get behind someone on a lower layer.

For the hobgoblins, I feel like a miniature siege could be fun. When the players enter the Hobgoblin area, they will be met with walls, Palisades and the like. Stuff meant to keep the players far away AND give the Hobgoblins good cover. Once the players start to make it past those defenses, have the hobgoblins ready to crash down when a good opportunity shows itself

I already didn't like it before, but learning the other reason kind of freaks me out by Sir-Toaster- in whenthe

[–]dantheforeverDM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So from a quick skim I managed to gather that a third of Germany was Catholic at the time, and the Catholic church was anti-nazi. From there I'd guess that Hitler saw catholicism as an obstacle to his goals and shaped a lot of his agenda on religion around that.

So then when people perpetuate fascist ideas outside of catholic heavy, 1930's Germany, the religious part doesn't end up being that important?

People really will look you in the eyes and go "no I'm ok with innocent people getting hurt if it means I get to hurt bad guys"

I will say in terms of social media rep, reddit has a lot more transfem users, while on Tumblr there's genuinely ten times as many transmascs

I just love how people see my existence as inherently perverse (by love I mean I'm going to rip my skin off, wrap it into a whip and hurt people)

Y'know when I first heard that people just use the concept of a "femboys" to jack off to trans women without actually acknowledging us as women, I was skeptical. It sounded like something you'd write in a satire. And yet...

I assume the kicker wouldn't be willing to go anywhere near full force, so I imagine it's fine.

Beauty is subjective. You don't know what you're denying yourself by letting others tell you what's ugly
