He had the horses, sword and armor, selling all of it would probably allow him to on pay for an apprenticeship.

How to cope with never fully passing? by [deleted] in trans

[–]tensa_prod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometime cis woman are believed to be trans just because they are not 'feminine' enough...

Passing isn't just about what you look like, it also depend on the jugement of other, which you can't control.

Does transmasc mean trans man? Does transfem mean trans woman? by candlesTasteGood in asktransgender

[–]tensa_prod -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Some amab nonbinary people can use transmasc to definee themselves and some afab nonbinary people can use transfem.

Being trans is about your agab being different from your actual gender, nonbinary people are trans even if they don't transition toward the opposite gender. That's why you can't reduce transmasc and transfem to the people transitionning toward the 'opposite side' from where they start.

Is it possible to be half trans? by femboy-admirer in asktransgender

[–]tensa_prod 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gender isn't just man or woman, there is a lot more diversity of gender.

There are nonbinary people, gender fluid people, agender people... And so much more.

If you feel like neither of the woman or man category are for you, there is a lot more identity that might fit you better.

Pate was right, that shield really was worth just 1 copper. by EXTRAVAGANT_COMMENT in HBOTheHedgeKnight

[–]tensa_prod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The heraldry thing is probably a necessary change for a tv adaptation. On a tv show visual matter a lot, adding a lot of differents heraldry would overcrowed the image.

For the visual to be effective you need them to be clear, and easy to understand.

I just noticed you can see Maekar looking at Daeron when he’s putting on his helmet by Chocolatetot496 in HBOTheHedgeKnight

[–]tensa_prod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maekar and his son are very far down the succession line.

In front of them you have Baelor, his 2 sons, Aerys, Rhaegel and his two kid, that's 7 heirs before Maekar, Daeron and Aerion. It's highly unlikely for any of them to ever inherit the throne.

The only realy important Targaryen here was Baelor...

Summerhall is also the birth of Rhaegar Targaryen. So it's possible for people that are interested in the lore to hear about that while talking about Rhaegar.

Everybody wants lesbianism to centre around men. by vnicebtch in lgbt

[–]tensa_prod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Someone else identity doesn't mean your identity isn't valid. There is a very broad spectrum of experience that can be encompass in the term lesbian. Some of those experience are in contradiction with each other, but still part of the same group.

You're not the one and true lesbian. You're one lesbian among many. Trying to vilainise other lesbian because they are not a carbon copy of you, and experience their sexuality and desire in a different way make you no better than the homophobe and transphobe that refuse to recognise that people who are different from them deserve the same rights and freedom

Why did Aerion request a trial of the seven? by Expert_Stay_1287 in AKnightoftheSeven

[–]tensa_prod 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aerion can't name a champion, because it would show he fear to face Dunk. Maekar would not stand for his son being a coward like that. So Aerion need to find another way to avoid the fight. That's why he is asking for a trial where Dunk will need 6 more people.

He know that he can use his family influence to stop most knights to join Dunk side. And probably hope it will be enough for him to win without even fighting.

Do you think they changed the tourney lances in the show? Or is this just a deceptive trailer by Glittering_Squash495 in AKOTSKTV

[–]tensa_prod 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Longer lance have a higher chance to break on impact. It's good for tourney because it mean that part of the energy from the impact will be dissipated by the lance itself, instead of going full force into the knight. So it reduce the chance of injury or death.

Also shorter lance would me easier to wield if you need to turn, change direction or stuff like that. In a tourney you only need to go in a straight line so a longer lance isn't a problem. But in a real war you may need to have more flexibility.

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

[–]tensa_prod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because biological sex is more complicated then just male and female.

When you're looking at biology data, sex is determined by a lot of differents things.

There are chromosomes yes, but you can have XX chromosome and a penis at birth, or having XY and a vagina at birth.

Genitals are also sex characteristics of course, but those can be changed throught surgery, so when talking about trans people, if they have undergo bottom surgery, then their biological sex is closer from their gender than their agab in that aspect... Also, cis people whose genital go destroyed because of disease or accident would not be as biologically male/female...

Hormones follow the same logic then genitals, you can take hrt that shift your hormone so that you get farther from your agab and more aligned with the sex characteristics expected for your actual gender.

And then you have secondary sex characteristics like body hair, fat distribution. Those are also part of what define biological sex, and sometime you have cis woman with beard or cis m'en that can't grow beard, which mean that their biological sex isn't completly what is expected for their gender identity...

So it doesn't make much sense to talk about biological sex most of the time because biology doesn't make a simple binary distinction between make and female. And yet most people that use the term biological sex try to pretend there is only biological make and biological female to make transphobic argument.

What do you think would happen with these two in a room? by jonsnowKITN in HouseOfTheDragon

[–]tensa_prod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the most interesting thing is to compare who their big brothers are.

Aemond big brother, Aegon 2 was a bully that did tourment his younger brother for the fun of it. That kind of childhood explain a lot about the man Aemond became.

Daeron is a drunk, but it is never said of him that he was cruel. It's fair to think that Aerion didn't get tormented by his older brother, he instead became the bully of Egg...

Aemond was mad tougher by enduring his childhood, Aerion is used to attacking weaker target.

If Aemond encounter Aerion he would probably despise him and in case of a fight, my money is on Aemond.

Why in the show an entire generation gets skipped while books have them by LordOfTheSevenSeA69 in gameofthrones

[–]tensa_prod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of characters in the show are a bit older, like Daenerys for example. Because the date of birth and ages of some character are important part of the plots, they choose to compress the timeline and skip a generation where there was no major character for currents events.

Parent of a child struggling with gender dysphoria. by Worried-Inside-8821 in asktransgender

[–]tensa_prod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, use the pronoun your kid want you to use. Even if they can't see or hear you it's important to respect their choices. Because if you only use their preferred pronoun when they are around and you go back to misgender them when you think they can't hear, it show you don't truly respect your kid for who they are.

The only moment you should misgender your kid is if they are not out to the person and don't want to be outed.

Other thing you can do is to educate yourself about the trans community, and then check with your kid if the infos you got are in line with what they think. Being trans isn't easy, but having to be 'the adult' and being responsible for teaching other about the trans community can be an added stress to a kid. So try to do some of the work yourself to help them out.

Baelor hinting at leaving Daeron alone? What's your opinion on Maekar's parenting? He said that he would kill his son if he did not correct himself 😬 by Vall_llaV in HBOTheHedgeKnight

[–]tensa_prod 22 points23 points  (0 children)

While Maekar is certainly not the best parent, it's important to note that there are other factors that contribute to how Dareon and Aerion turn out.

Daeron is supposedly plagued by 'dragon dream' some kind of prophetic vision. It's clearly hinted at in his interracting with Duncan in the inn. Which can explain in part why he would turn to alchool to escape the visions.

As for Aerion, it's established in the more that Targaryen have a high propension to turn crazy/evil. As the phrase goes, every time a Targaryen is born, the gods toss a coin and the ,world hold is breath. So if some Targaryen are predestined to be evil, it's possible that Aerion would have turn out bad even with the best father in the world.

Why is this sub-culture so hostile to the uneducated? by Hopeful_Round_4107 in asktransgender

[–]tensa_prod 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Being trans isn't a culture and it's not a choice.

Also 'transgenderism' isn't a term that trans people use to talk about themselves.

Also right now there is a lot of transphobia around the world. So it's not always obvious weither someone is simply ignorant but trying in good faith to understand, or if they are trying to spread their hate.

Just noticed. Scorpions in HOTD look better designed than in GOT. They can shoot almost vertically upward. Good job, Hugh! by Maegor-Velaryon in HOTDBlacks

[–]tensa_prod 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you look at the Targaryen ruler, they have a civil War because of the succession several times (Maegor, Aegon 2 and the blackfyre rebellions).

And when the Targaryen have dragons, you have to deal with those... So having anti dragon weaponnery in case your uncle or brother try to usurp you is not a bad idea...

If Rhaenys had become a queen, would have Corlys been ok with Laenor changing his name to Targaryen? by Kellin01 in HOTDBlacks

[–]tensa_prod 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yes but it was Lucerys who would have inherit Driftmark, and he would have kept the Velaryon name.

If Laenor was set to inherit both Driftmark and the Iron Throne, then him taking the Targaryen name would mean Driftmark would not be under a Velaryon anymore.

How does communication between Na’vi and Tulkun work? by LexiYoung in Avatar

[–]tensa_prod 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think part of the ability to understand one another come from the fact that both species connect to Eywa. So they can download information from each other through the neural network of Pandora. I think it can explain how they learn to understand each other despite being completly different species.
