That darn wok agenda trying to replace all our fancy pots, bowls, and pans! 😤

I too had a very cis and normal approach to modded Skyrim. Do not consider any context about me with this statement.

When I say Jordan Peterson faux intellectual BS, this is exactly what I was talking about. You make huge leaps in logic, stringing together disconnected ideas from different areas of study to justify your goofy views. Like, there is no point in breaking down all your beliefs and why they are wrong because they’re barely coherent to begin with.

Also, talking about trans women being envious of other women as being narcissistic, motivated by greed and “extroverted domination” is tied to outdated ideas that have done real harm to trans people. Sexologists who believed similar things have created and reinforced stigma, impacted policy that controls our lives. You don’t get to choose that history; you don’t get to choose for those ideas to not impact people; that’s not how it ever worked. Your ideas are politically charged, and you cannot choose otherwise.

Seriously, what are you trying to say? I have an interpretation of what you’re trying to get at, but it’s not a flattering one. It sounds like some Jordan Peterson faux intellectual BS about trying to disect the psychosexual meaning of wanting to be a woman.

If I do understand correctly, then know that there is no logic behind wanting to be another gender. It’s not to satisfy some desire to be in a specific power dynamic; it just is because it is, no conscious choice or free will involved. Trans women want to be pretty women because they want to be women, and like basically everybody they also want to be attractive. It’s not deeper than that.

If you really mean something else please enlighten me.

If someone actually says still cis tho, they’re usually cooked

I personally don’t trust my own perception of myself and wholeheartedly believe that I can’t know how I look. It’s much easier to not compare myself to other people when I have nothing to compare them to, as for all I know I look exactly like the person I envy.

This isn’t to say that I don’t pay attention to parts of my appearance, but I limit it to very specific things that are in my power to change. For instance, I might focus on shaping my eyebrows, but not trust what I see in my jaw or browline.

I liked when Codsworth from Fallout 4 called me by it. I had liked the idea of a lot of names before, but it was the first one that really clicked. When that robot first called me Assface, I knew it would be my name.

Wait, you weren’t already out as trans? I swear you’re not the first person on blahaj.zone who hatched after I took for granted that they were trans. I guess my transdar isn’t good enough to tell eggs from chickens.

Anyhow, congrats on finally finding a path forward! You have so much to look forward to 💖

I think you have to ask yourself, is it fair to your future child to have their parent lie about who they are? Do you really want to teach your kid that that should suppress their identity and be dishonest with those closest to them?

You also shouldn’t assume that you will be able to keep things together if you try to play “father.” The crushing pressure of living a lie is easy to underestimate, and you might end up transitioning anyways. If that does break up the marriage, the fallout will not be felt by just the two of you, but the kid as well.

Children are a huge commitment and an even more important responsibility. You’re literally building a person, and that cannot be taken lightly. I think keeping up a facade for a partner is bad enough, but bringing in an even more vulnerable person is borderline inexcusable. If there are any unmitigated reservations about having a kid, you shouldn’t have it.

Ahead of the curve!

Perfection? The only thing that stopped him from joining the right is that Trump holds grudges. That fascist reject hung out with Charlie Kirk and threw trans people under the bus despite boasting about how much he supports the queers for decades. He tried so hard to join them because he has always been a slimy pickme neofeudalist. If he gets elected, there will not be the reforms needed to prevent fascism from rising again. Hell, he might even usher it in.

Also, how do you think Harris lost to Trump? Do you think the Democrats bear no responsibility for it? That there were no long term trends that led to populism; tends helped along in equal part by both parties? Is it only that the nonvoters ruined perfection? Are there really no tactical missteps that you can remember from 2024? Really!?

The UK might genuinely be more fucked than the US is in certain ways. Your new overlords will probably hold onto power better than any one group in the US, meaning while we will deal with decades of internal strife that could even result in civil war, you’ll be living under totalitarianism more complete that will probably last longer. Your elites seem far more united than ours will probably be.

Lol, he’s a dictator with a chokehold on his party. We’re so far beyond normal democratic politics that we’ve reached the same stage as Germany in the 1930s. The only thing stopping Trump from invading Greenland is preparation and bigger conflicts that might distract him. It’ll probably happen by the end of the year tbh

In my experience, it happens so gradually that they don’t care.
