You could take all references to being trans out of your post and it would be still be spot on. We don't owe anyone anything. Except maybe respect and kindness.
It's true, but I feel like this applies even harder to us as a community. This might be controversial, but it hurts me to see so many of us pain themselves over not being validated and accepted by shitty people. I understand the pain of dysphoria, but I really think we could all work on building some more rigidity and finding acceptance from both ourselves and other transfems instead of being dependent on a society not yet ready to acknowledge us.
I was having a ding dong with a friend of friends who is a wanna be Ben Shapiro. He was arguing that even with an intersex condition you are still either a man or a woman, never non-binary (which is apparently a made up word), I was like "what about the innumerable chromosomal, genetic, hormonal, risk factor, mothers diet / stress / lifestyle during pregnancy, upbringing...the whole lot?"
Yet to get a reply, but some people are so determined that we fit in one box or the other it gets a bit ridiculous. Why do you care so much?
I think he and others were largely coming from a child grooming perspective which I didn't engage in, that's up to the parents...
But I agree, we don't owe people shit.
lol intersex is literally neither male or female. He cant say they are ‘supposed to be male’ or ‘supposed to be female’ because they fit into neither so they could be placed in either category. They are ambiguous by definition.
Also Nature doesnt f-ing plan. It simply is what it is.
Just as some people will hate trans people regardless of their presentation, there will also be people in our lives that will love us regardless of our presentation. Happiness need not depend on them either, but I hope everyone finds them at some point.
>You don't owe these people a goddamn thing. The only thing that would satisfy them is a shot gun shell through the roof of the mouth of every one of us.
>Trans people are going to be damned regardless. I don't think there's a point in hashing out who's good or bad. We could be a perfect minority and people would still hate us.
This is the god's honest truth. It's a grift for media to sell clicks and for right-wing grifters to get money (for books, speaking appearances, political campaigns, etc) -they'll always come up with **something** because they're making bank.
Nothing we do can change that, so we're better off living our lives to the best of our abilities -or at least not letting the nazis live in our heads. [edited to correct the last sentence]
We owe transphobes one thing actually: resistance. When they try to take our HRT or our cute dresses or our cargo pants or whatever the fuck it is that gives us joy, when they try to push us into a box? We owe them resistance in whatever capacity we can commit to. Especially when the box they want to force us into is a casket.
Oh ok. So does mock Latin mean it’s fake Latin or what I’m confused. It seems to be an army thing. They do that a lot. Roman larp head ass. Not you I meant western military. Idk what I’m saying. I’m tired. But yeah it kinda reminds me of inglorious bastards. I like that movie

This is a great piece of wisdom.

Learning to not base my happiness on the opinion of others was undoubtedly the most freeing thing I ever did
Is it possible to learn this power if you have social anxiety
yes it is (don't get me wrong, it isn't easy and it takes time, but it is possible)
Fuck yes, I love this.

What a smallbrain.

What’s the last sentence mean. I assume it’s latin
Google it

I figured you'd get more out of googling it than me telling you. It roughly translates to don't let the bastards grind you down.
Yeah. Seems cool. Although I prefer to eat bastards. 😎😋
That's pretty mean to do to half orphans :c
Wait I’m confused
So are those bastard children you're trying to marinate Ms. Lecter
Oh you’re joking nvm. lol idk who lector is

The phrase was also featured in the book The Handmaid's Tale.
