And so we have these hellthreads where I like to come in and say, "It's ok guys, let's chill." Because really, it's ok, we can chill.

Let's just agree that adults of any and all genders stay away from nude children after the children can take care of putting on clothes, and we're good.

I largely agree with the sentiment.

But I can also be self-serving as the rest of humanity. We all concern ourselves *mostly* with the things we identify with. In my case I identify primarily as an "Angry Libertarian", "Militant Linux Zealot" and "Transsexual". So I argue mostly in those areas. In the case of being transsexual, a concern of mine is the rate of suicide and depression is extremely high. The single biggest factor in this is how transsexuals are treated -- the more accepted they are by the people around them the lower the rates of suicide and depression.

A lot of people just don't have the thick skin to weather it.

Wew it's been awhile since I've done hellthreads on trans issues

But this time it's been nice because I get to hear perspectives from actual trans people

It's been a real popcorn muncher on the fediverse today, lol. Thanks for the fun. Now I gotta go suffer for another six hours trying to mock Stripe API calls in Elixir. Wish me luck.

It's fine for you to think you are whatever you think you are. It's also ok for people to disagree, and even disrespect, your self-assessment. Just like you're free to disrespect them back. It's all good. Just let's not start hitting each other IRL and other such retarded shit.

Well, I'm sorry that happened to you. Must have been heartbreaking. I hope you're okay now.

@MandyJane @realcaseyrollins @shebang @Meeper @mewmew @tuxcrafting @alex you get called terf because on of your spinster compatriots in this thread just told me i deserved to be thrown out by my parents 2 weeks after graduating high school for telling them i was dysphoric

Most who get labeled "TERF" do not hate trans people at all. We know there are people who have dysphoria and that transition seems to be the thing that helps them get on with life. We get called TERF because we understand that you can't literally change your sex (trans women/men get called truscum for the same reasons). We get called TERF because we do not want children to be pushed towards transition. We get called TERF because we know there are creepy men LARPing as women. We get called TERF because we fight for single sex spaces where we think they are necessary, such as prisons, changing rooms, rape crisis shelters, etc. Weirdest of all, we get called TERF for wanting to have a voice in the debate over laws that will affect all of us.

Also the fact that they destroyed/took her own possession suddenly(thus giving no time to cope) thus economically fucked up her situation. I mean even if you say not in my home at least have the decency to have the recipient cope especially your own child to whom you should have a responsiblilty towards

@Ladyfat @nik @Meeper @mewmew @tuxcrafting @realcaseyrollins @alex @shebang the thread is about transphobia, the point nik made was that her parents acted transphobic towards her, which they objectively did. how does her age at the time change that fact?
@Ladyfat @realcaseyrollins @Meeper @mewmew @tuxcrafting @alex @shebang i didnt ask them to do anything, i didnt try to force any views on them, i didnt tell them to do anything, i merely came out to them and told them i was dysphoric and was taking hrt to ease that pain
@Ladyfat @Meeper @mewmew @tuxcrafting @realcaseyrollins @alex @shebang i didn't come out to them until then because i knew it was likely something bad would have happened
@Ladyfat @Meeper @mewmew @tuxcrafting @realcaseyrollins @alex @shebang they took my wallet, phone, cash, all possessions that were on me, destroyed my hrt, and told me to fuck off

they made me homeless for something out of my control, took my access to my own money from my job away from me.
sorry you have a belief ? you don't really believe that, you're just dogwhistling . literally hitler

Sweetie I’m not on twitter .

Why would “women are adult human females” be ‘toxic ideology’ to anybody other than science deniers? @mewmew @Meeper @tuxcrafting @realcaseyrollins @alex @nik @shebang
