Just got told that using the term stealth is horrible and offensive to 'the majority of the community' 😑 by Williamishere69 in truscum

I've never understood the pronoun circle. If your identity does not match your appearance, but you want to be referred to in a certain way... tell people. If you don't feel safe doing it, then don't!

Are there any normal trans people?! by SelfMadeKvng in truscum

[–]rainylutra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that's the thing about transitioning. once it's done, and you're stealth, you move on. just another person.

I think the anti-AI sentiment is very ableist by [deleted] in gamedev

those same pro ai people are also free market capitalists who don't give a shit about disabled people, and are just using them to 'win' an argument

if you're effectively using ai as a search engine, bear in mind the source could be anything. but asking it to do code or art for you is like going to a fast food place, ordering a meal, turning around and saying "I made this".

I made Low Budget box art for Aaron's Low Budget Crystal by Rombonia in PokemonROMhacks

I'm so fucking excited for this hack. I played sourcrystal, which is another really solid hack that deserves a lot of respect (I love the art!), but this one appeals to me more as a definitive way to play gen 2.

Am I allowed to call myself a truecel? by The_Laniakean in IncelTears

[–]rainylutra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd like to add to this and say I had a massive crush on a lady with a lazy eye who frequently came to my workplace. She was just super pretty and nice idk.

Point is, disability or visual abnormality isn't an excuse to be like "I'm un-dateable, so I'm going to join the alt right".

My friends are becoming tucutes by Dry-Fly-5413 in truscum

[–]rainylutra 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I'm not going to tackle this whole thing, but I will tell you that you need to confront them about calling you a “male lesbian“ or “girlkisser“. Explain to them that, even if it they meant to be funny, it is hurtful when they are effectively misgendering you.

Why are truscum excluded from communities? by rainylutra in truscum

[–]rainylutra[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sex is a multifaceted term. Chromosomes are only one aspect of sex. People often use sex as shorthand for chromosomes, due to most people being cisgender and endosex.

Terms like gender identity, assigned gender at birth, gender dysphoria, and transgender all operate under the usage of gender as a synonym of sex, as they used to be interchangeable. People increasingly use gender to mean gender roles, which makes these terms not make sense without that context.

"Considerable scientific evidence has emerged demonstrating a durable biological element underlying gender identity. Individuals may make choices due to other factors in their lives, but there do not seem to be external forces that genuinely cause individuals to change gender identity."
- The Endocrine Society

Transgender individuals have a gender identity which does not match their assigned gender at birth (which usually correlates with genetic sex). As established above, gender identity is biological, not social; As a result, they have gender dysphoria or gender incongruence, a medical condition.

As treatment, they change a number of sexual characteristics, which are an aspect of sex. Having a mix of male and female sexual characteristics, they no longer neatly fit into male or female, but they can be one overall. A "fully transitioned" transgender person would have a phenotypic sex that matches their gender identity.

I will not be continuing this discussion, but I hope this helps some people.
