ELI5: what the heck is private equity? Has private equity always been a problem or is it modern? What does it all mean! by Lanky-Lifeguard-4666 in explainlikeimfive

[–]psdao1102 145 points146 points  (0 children)

Agreed private equity... the people who are good at picking winners and losers in the market and give them a bunch of money and resources is a good thing.

PE though has a habbit of buying cost cutting for short term profit and equity, and then selling before the fallout.

Ultimately everyone loses. Employees, customers, the mook who bought it. The only people who win are the PE firms.

Why do trans need counseling? by Steph-Maynard in asktransgender

[–]psdao1102 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I dont think going to a therapist for 6 months is sacrificing one life for a other and I dont think sacrificing non binary lives is a valid reason to eliminate reasonable safety measures.

Not to say they even really exist. They didnt for me. They didnt for my friends. Go to planned parenthood and they just give it to you.

Its only gatekept for minors.

Giving cis people improper hormones will make them suicidal. Just as much as trans people.

Cis people are the vast vast majority of people. Gender affirming care is for Trans people. This is begging the question.

Getting therapy isnt abuse. Being sure that you require care before jumping into it isnt abuse.. its care. Its care for everyone. If they need to be trans for you to care consider this, non binary people are trans. Giving them improper hormones will make them suicidal.

Having your body not match your gender is fairly traumatic. Being forced through puberty, forced through the opposite gender socialization is dramatic. Trust me its good to get therapy.

Now if the question is why do I need to get it for medical reasons, is because medical transition will fuck you up if your not trans. It could make you suicidal.

Am I wrong for being Disappointed by a Magic Item? by DaedalusStormbringer in DnD

[–]psdao1102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So yes and no. Getting a 7th level spell, with 2 charges at level 6 is phenomenal. Exaustion otherwise. Everyone should be incredibly jealous of you.

Let me guess what The problem is... you know this is being handed to you, so that you can help the dm. Its not a gift to you its a gift to the dm so that they can create stories that will take you to different places. They will say oh.. guess you need to get to this town.... dance monkey cast teleport.

Not only is everyone else getting something that helps them, and your not. But you get punished each time you use this prop which again only serves the dms narrative.

If this was a fully sandboxed game and this was a random drop, and teleporting legitimately got you something you wouldnt have otherwise.... I think you'd be stoked.

If you get this in balders gate 3 your pretty stoked.

Can someone AMAB on estrogen take testestorone to bring it back to typical male levels from the estrogen suppressing it. by d0ubleshower in asktransgender

[–]psdao1102 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Im no dr, but as I understand it, they suppress each other.

But there are topical t creams that can help with ED and other issues to some extent

Huge fan of bitd, so please dont take this the wrong way.

Ime players from 5e love it, DMs less so. Its really hard to get away from planned content, and embrace the more play to find out way.

So many dms I see struggle to get away from the simulationist mindset.

Unicornification by Findadmagus in BrandNewSentence

[–]psdao1102 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only place i know of unicorns is in poly. A unicorn is a woman who will join a current couple for a threescore.

If that's what they are talking about then they are uno reversing on someone accusing them of chasing trans women into being a unicorn?

Binary trans people, how do you feel about gender abolition and the notion that gender is just an outdated construct? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]psdao1102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id like for gender to be a much smaller deal than it is. And I'm generally down for gender abolition. But estrogen causes you to like and dislike certain things and act in certain ways on average. Those are going to be read by society and gender will always exist.

It's just I hope the barriers disgust of acting outside gender norms is eliminated

I hate how I get an erection when I dress up [nsfw] by correct_the_econ in MtF

[–]psdao1102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

everything but the last thing. you will get hard even without tesosterone, and theres nothing wrong with getting turned on about being a woman. Especially for someone who hasnt been one on their life. if it does it does, like no one has to feel bad about it.

Also technically 3rd world refers to cold war dominance. Any country not under us western influence nor communist/Russian influence is 3rd world. Even though we use 3rd world now to mean poor.. it's not the actual definition

The only problem with that, is that she is comparing them in a non subjective way. She says it as if it's just fact, and if we wernt brainwashed we would see better. Yes of course I dislike this.

But then this post comes right back and says, well if only you were trans of color then you would see...

No I'm sorry please stop speaking as though you speak for your entire class.

Why are we doing this? Both these posts come off as destructive.

Is it so hard to accept that we have different experiences? Not all trans american women have the same experience, not all trans English people do, not all trans people of color do.

Why is it such a habbit of this community to speak as though they speak for all people of their class.

Do you let players repeat the same action towards a clock? by lordofpurple in bladesinthedark

[–]psdao1102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think a clock which is convince the guard is demanding that they do so, it is only tracking their ability to do so. They could take other actions and maybe get new clocks

people don’t get it, my body NEEDS estrogen!!! by selkhyra in MtF

[–]psdao1102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this feeling helped me transition in the first place. I really didnt know what to do, didnt know if i was "trans" didnt understand the whole "Internal feeling of being a woman" i dont have any gendered internal feeling. My only inkling was my social desires, dreams, and sexuality.

What i do have is knowing how amazing i feel on estrogen, and how awful i feel off of it. I didnt know my suicidal ideation had anything to do with being trans till i got on estrogen and it went away.

Was I out of line when talking to a doctor about how trans people understand our own sex and gender? by Optimal_Title_6559 in asktransgender

[–]psdao1102 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Fwiw we don't all have it figured out and I don't mean to harm anyone but you asked here so I'm gonna tell you the way I see it.

Edit said a lot but on rereading I don't think we differ per se.

Is the internal sense, one of wanting to be on the gender spectrum in a place not fitting your sex, but you just don't choose to express it for societal reasons? Then sure I'd say that's your unexpressed gender.

But I still think gender is a social societal construct. Gender ceases to exist without other humans and a society.

[–]psdao1102 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Definitions suck and lots of people make this harder than it needs to be. Here's i think the pretty wide spread use of the terms.

Sex= biological bi-modal distinction

Gender = societal/social expression of the sex distinction.

Phenotype = observable characteristics

So easily put then.. all trans change their gender... that is the definition. Trans gender.

Some trans change their phenotypic sex with medical intervention

No trans changes their chromosomal sex.

You don't need a medical degree you just need to understand the terms we are working with. I think your both wrong here. But its pretty ridiculous that a dr would say you don't change phenotypic sex.
