yes. that also usually implies that said person is transitioning socially (name/pronouns/gender marker/presentation) and or medically (hormones).

one can certainly be a nonbinary amab and not do those things, but I wouldn't consider them transfem, personally.

I appreciate you taking the time to learn ❤️

direction of transition is the easiest way to think about it imo. hrt femboys, binary trans women, nonbinary/GNC trans women would then all fall under the umbrella of "transfem"

I relate to this so much. not being able to operate in this bullshit system despite your best efforts. I'm still struggling just to complete the paperwork. it really seems like if you have an invisible disability it's impossible to get help sometimes.

the worst part for me was finding a job I actually really enjoyed and was good at only to watch it slowly slip away under the crushing pressure of constantly having to perform and appear normal.

second to last paragraph sound exactly like my experience. I'm so done with it all. thank you for taking the time to write all this, it's really validating to see someone else struggling with the same things.

you're*

as in "you're a prick"

yeah that fucking sucks to read. you can half assedly scribble it out, you can white it out and put "deadname" over it. it's just lazy not to.

love seeing references to Down the Rabbit Hole out in the wild

that is so much worse 😂

the second one you describe are more delusions of hallucinations. intrusive thoughts are fairly harmless and pretty much every experiences them.

same. hurts every time I rewatch it.

from my experience with some libertarian 2a people I'd agree with this. I was surprised how indifferent (good) they were about minorities and trans people considering how they vote. honestly having a pro-drug, pro-gun* platform would win a huge chunk of them. and both of those would also be good for oppressed minorities (imo).

actually sitting here thinking about it do we have any figures on how much tax money gets pumped into prison systems that rely on drug enforcement to fill? not to mention the military industrial complex. cuz I know leftists like to riff on libertarians about "I don't understand how taxes work" but there's a lot of tax money going to things I don't agree with either.

*more like "sex positive" in the sense of education and safety and not shaming people who partake. not whatever the NRA is doing.

how is that a cope? doesn't it make the comment more scathing? and idfk entirely possible someone made that up, just Google it, I got pictures and shit when I checked briefly before posting
