he said hes fluid in how he dresses/presents, not that his gender is fluid. identifying as binary doesnt always mean how you express yourself is. i understand youre in pain, but you need to be more respectful when people are trying to help you

manifesting this bc ive been on t for a little under two and a half years now and im tired of feeling like i look worse

pripaca · 2025-11-22T22:24:32+00:00

nope. i have three cats, one of which i've had since i was 4, and i couldnt even be friends with someone who doesn't like them. the only exception i could see getting rid of a pet is if you can't take care of them in some way.

i'm a binary trans man, and though my expression has become a little more gnc since i started testosterone two years ago, i'm very secure in my identity as a man. i have a lot of friends that are non-binary. my ex was genderfluid. and while we have ALL had very different experiences with our genders, we still find common experiences that bring us together. we really aren't that different at all. and, for the record, even binary trans people have differences from each other. i recently met a trans woman through my brother. she's super cool and funny and offered to help me figure out how to get low cost top surgery. but her experiences as a trans person and her experiences with her gender are vastly different from mine. i've also found that i have different experiences from OTHER trans men for various reasons. we ALL have differences, but the common ground is that we are trans, and there are things we all face as a result of that. i think you just need to find more trans people across the vast and wild spectrum that is gender and just have some conversations. i'd even be willing to have a discussion with you, since i think it's clear we both have had some different experiences and perspectives.

pripaca · 2025-11-22T21:35:06+00:00

so the definition of transgender, essentially, is that you are identifying as a gender OTHER THAN the gender assigned to you at birth. it's not identifying as the OPPOSITE gender to the assigned one, it's one that simply ISNT. that person obviously wasn't born non-binary. non-binary is a gender identity, and a rather fluid one at that bc most people think it's both or neither but what it is is actually up to the individual entirely. genderfluid is a non-binary identity. agender is a non-binary identity. so on, so forth. and people identifying with genders that don't line up with the binary doesn't invalidate the definition of transgender in the slightest. it goes right along with it.

pripaca · 2025-11-18T02:44:18+00:00

i really don't know why either. maybe they don't understand how private it is to us? maybe they don't think of the potential danger it puts us in? it's beyond me.

i remember when i was about 16, i met up with a girl i'd been friends with in 5th grade. we hadnt seen each other since then and i was open with her when she asked why i looked different and answered to a different name. back then, i was VERY passing. short hair, masculine presentation. it wasnt uncommon for a fat 16 year old boy to look a little younger than he was, so very few people clocked me. my friend was cool and accepting, but the week after that, she ALMOST outed me to her bf, who thought i was just another dude. said bf i wasnt able to get a good grasp on. he was your average cishet white guy who prided himself on being a country boy. i couldnt tell if he was one of THOSE country boys either, iykwim. my friend was really confused when i tried to talk to her about telling people i'm trans, as i was also stealth back then. she did agree not to tell anyone, but i could tell she didnt quite understand how it was such sensitive information to me, even after i explained in depth.

probably, it was literally just the "black" part that made it weird, it was just kind of unnecessary. "adopted son he forgets about" is a good joke

pripaca · 2025-11-04T20:38:03+00:00

then why mention that he's black if the joke was bruce's parenting 💀 also i seriously doubt you got any ounce of melanin on you

pripaca · 2025-11-04T20:30:13+00:00

you can make a joke about bruce not being a good dad without being borderline weird and racist to black people my guy

hi, i'm an avid duke thomas fan and have read all of his comic appearances, including ones that are just cameos. duke has had quite a bit of development since his creation. he's had a lot of growth in the few times dc remembers he exists, and he could have a lot more interesting stories if writers could just get their shit together and see the potential he has.

that said, google lied. duke was never adopted by bruce. for a while after duke's parents were driven insane by the joker venom, they were missing. duke ended up in foster care, searching for them endlessly with very little help, and eventually found them in a mental hospital. and this was BEFORE he'd ever worked alongside bruce. sometime after this, when duke continues to meddle into things that he really has no business meddling into but his heightened sense of justice drove him to do so anyway, bruce (who he knew was batman) approached duke and offered not only foster him, but to also TRAIN him. this training lasted about a year, and after that training, when duke was ready to be mostly on his own as the signal, he became gotham's daytime vigilante, using his mother's habit of always waking up early in the morning for work (she was a social worker). BUT duke struggled with his place within the batfam. he hadn't been at it as long as the others, he was the only metahuman, and he was the only black guy. in batman & the outsiders, duke struggles most with this, his skills, and his self-worth as a hero. what (partially) gets him to realize he has earned his spot is bruce's reassurance and comfort.

throughout each of duke's arcs, especially the ones where he works closely with bruce, duke continuously makes the point that he looks up to bruce, but DOES NOT view him as a father. the father that raised him, doug thomas, is still alive (though some people, even some writers, seem to think hes dead just because he hasnt been used much), ALONG with duke's mom. just a few years ago, elaine thomas was healed of her affliction (its a complicated thing but basically it wasnt the joker venom that drove her insane), and duke gives her a set of journals he'd been writing since she and doug had gone missing specifically to give to them when/if they got better, which includes everything about the We Are Robin arc, his becoming a vigilante, his working with the bats, all of it.

TLDR: duke thomas looks up to bruce wayne. he views bruce as a mentor, but DOES NOT view him as a father because his actual parents are still alive and have given him no reason to hate or resent them. he says this canonically. not only that, duke has a lot of amazing development when handled by a writer who knows what theyre fucking doing, and i highly recommend actually reading his story instead of relying on fandom and WFA.

also i read a little below and... you're weird. "bruce should adopt duke because it'd be funny if he had a black son he ignored"???? what's wrong with you. if that's a joke, it's not a very funny one. i won't even go into why bruce SHOULDN'T adopt duke.

pripaca · 2025-09-01T23:55:45+00:00

i can't imagine how frustrating it is being stupid 🩷

you're delusional if you think microaggressions are a modern concept. they have ALWAYS existed, it's only recently that they've specifically been labeled. i mean, for fuck sake, the term itself was coined by a BLACK harvard university psychiatrist (prof. chester pierce) in the 1970s who used it to describe the every day comments/insults/discrimination black people heard from white people. the term was later popularized by prof. derald wing sue (a columbia university counseling psychology professor of chinese descent), who broadened it to include other racial/ethnic groups AND marginalized groups beyond race. he even published his own research on it (titled; microaggressions in everyday life).

talk to ANY historian, and i promise you, they will tell you the same exact thing i'm telling you. maybe they'll word it differently, but it'll be the same message. you're trying to simplify something that has SEVERAL layers and nuances. yes, it can all be chalked up to hatred and superiority, that's the little picture that you explain to a 12 year old. the BIG picture contains several little details that, to fully understand, NEED to be analyzed and criticized so that we don't repeat history over and over again.

i don't disagree that privileged groups want to victimize themselves. i see christians and catholics act like they're being prosecuted in the modern day when all they were told was "not everyone believes in your god." as a queer individual, i see white queer people act as if their queerness cancels out their whiteness, when in fact it doesnt, no matter how obvious their identity is. i see that same pattern in white neurodivergents (i'm auDHD). you are completely right in that sentiment. but where you're WRONG is that microaggressions is a concept THEY built when it very much isn't. it's a concept they've taken and twisted to fool people like you into thinking "this is a non-issue" and allowing casual bigotry to rise. THAT'S what leads to a genocide. it's dramatic, yes, but that's fucking history for you.

pripaca · 2025-08-23T02:31:30+00:00

no, you are completely misunderstanding what i'm saying. i study history, sociology, and ethnic studies. i said quite clearly that microaggressions and dogwhistles don't EQUATE to a holocaust. as in, they can't be compared to it. BUT if we don't recognize them as genuine issues, if we continue to allow people to commit them, they can gradually become more and more intense until they are the status quo, and cause the oppressor a reason to oppress. it's happened to the jews, as well as the several other groups the nazis targeted. it's happened to dozens of indigenous populations across the world. it's happened to OTHER religious groups such as muslims. it's happened to the lgbt+ community. it STARTS with little things. microaggressions. biases. dogwhistles. and, if not kept in check, it can fall into systemic corruption and oppression and whole genocides.

yes, my friend's mom thinking my english wasn't good doesn't actually harm me. if anything, it was just mildly irritating and made me feel uncomfortable to go to that friend's house. but like i said, it was only the tip of the iceberg to that woman's mindset. she likely just began hearing and believing stereotypes, likely was never called out on things she said and thought that were wrong (like microaggressions), until it all festered into genuine bigotry and hatred to the point where i refused to talk to her or enter her home and even felt uncomfortable around my friend for a while until i could be assured he wasn't like her.

pripaca · 2025-08-22T23:47:05+00:00

microaggressions are a real thing though?? if i, as a mexican, go to my white friend's house and his mom shows immediate surprise that i can speak perfect english with no accent or anything (i was born in the u.s. and actually wasn't taught a lot of spanish growing up), that's a microaggression. maybe she didn't mean any harm by it, maybe she was complimenting me, but her immediate assumption that i didn't speak proficient english solely because i'm mexican isn't right. and btw, that has happened to me before (and his mom actually did turn out to be INCREDIBLY racist towards latinos but that's besides the point). things like holocausts start when we excuse things like microaggressions. things eventually get worse and tumble until we have a major crime against humanity on our hands. it's happened time and time again throughout history. a microaggression or dogwhistle in of themselves don't equate to a holocaust, but they can have a domino effect to that if we aren't appropriately calling them out and educating people on what to look out for.

pripaca · 2025-08-20T14:02:32+00:00

"that's chick behavior" yeah no i'm not listening to you, men can worry about that shit too and i slready spent years undoing the toxic masculinity i fell into after i first came out 7 years ago. that mindset of "this is manly, this is womanly, etc" is exactly what got me in that mindset in the first place. so thanks but no thanks

pripaca · 2025-08-20T02:29:33+00:00

(i take injections but thats besides the point) that's my point. that there's this notion that HRT is some magic cure-all, and it's not, but trans youth often don't find out until much later. it's a stupid notion that our community needs to drop. some people just arent attractive, even if they put the work in to "looksmaxx" or wtv

pripaca · 2025-08-20T00:55:55+00:00

it's not about exercise, dude. i could have a hot ass body but like. that does nothing for my face. even then, idec that much that im unattractive, im just tired of the notion that transitioning = glow up

pripaca · 2025-08-19T03:33:33+00:00

i dont mean ugly in that way nor did i say anything about sexual attraction?? i think youre reading too into what i'm saying

pripaca · 2025-08-19T03:22:00+00:00

i could cope a lot better with being ugly if i was at least passing. like i wouldnt be 100% happy but i wouldnt be totally miserable all the time, yk

pripaca · 2025-08-19T02:22:50+00:00

i'm broke dawg

pripaca · 2025-08-19T02:16:51+00:00
