I was born before Y2K wiped us all out. I am a Manga-lover, a talker, and here for good vibes and to hopefully both learn and help others.

  • To steelman Ashen a bit here, it would not be the place for the hypothetical Femboy to reclaim a slur that was thrown at them because the hypothetical idiot was also just stupid and thought the Femboy was Transfem. It is not a Femboy Slur but a Transfem Slur, and a Femboy copping it would be controversial. There is already the tension that plays out between the two packs in the LGBTQ+ Clan, not really a reason to add more fuel to that fire.

    You are correct broadly speaking though: The victim is in the right to reclaim victimizing language so that fools can no longer wield it as a weapon. It is just that in this case, the language used was not victimizing(in the sense of the word itself being degrading specifically against the hypothetical Femboy), it was the (assumed) context that the hypothetical idiot knew the person was a Femboy and used it as a double-slice against the Clan and against the hypothetical Femboy by mislabeling them in general.




  • With how much that has gone on, the fact it is only the fifth is wild to me.

    Been quite a lots of valleys and mountains, I count coming here as part of September(despite it not technically having crossed into it by then), been quite a lot of changes in my self-perception and outwards-projection, reunited with someone I thought I had lost forever, been getting back into reading between Yuri, Assasination Classroom and SAO:Progressive(the Light Novel, ie the real one), it has been a much heartier and healthier life, while still being a relaxing one, despite the aforementioned valleys(the context of my self-perception and outwards-projection shifts not being pleasant but made crossing it worth it to shake off the shackles of an old manipulator, work being work, and sickness floating around).

    You look dazzling and in high spirits, ride on dearie! You are doing fantastic! Congratulations on the relationship! <3




  • It is a matter of expectations. A person who grew up in X situation believes that Y knowledge is fundamental, while one who grew up in Z situation may of had zero exposure to or need of being exposed to Y knowledge, instead learning T knowledge which they find to be fundamental.

    There is a book I have actually, the Book of Basic Knowledge. I would say there is a baseline that makes sense for everyone to know for daily life(basic mental mathematics, how to construct sentences/formulate thoughts, a basic grasp of history to help understand why we are where and who we are, etc.), but some might believe there is “Basic Knowledge,” that is outside the scope of that book, because of the logic I posited above. Or some might think that the book goes beyond Basic Knowledge. And some might just outright disagree with what I think is fundamental to interface with the world(though having lived in it long enough, I think what I put is pretty universally needed).











  • Fair and valid–They absolutely do not need us to feed them ammunition. But still, donating it, as we both agree, is not beneficial.

    The hardliners are not going to be swayed by “radical leftist,” things like…compassion, understanding, and respect. But those who are in the herd at large, strung along, they are who can be swayed as you mentioned, and it is to them that we must maintain the discipline that you expounded. Not owed to them, but as you said, “for our own sake.” We owe it to ourselves to remain honest and true.

    I actually know someone funnily enough who was a Trumpet until she came to realize the Monster she helped get elected for a second term. We do not talk politics much, but I do know that even if not progressive, she at the very least supports our right to exist(even though she does have some hesitances about some things that we have not had a chance to discuss much). People can certainly change.



  • As much as the Fascist that the fools who voted for his very specific promises to destroy freedom of the press(“We are going to jail journalists!” crowd roars (paraphrased, but not far off, I think the original was even wilder)) and being the Project 2025 Puppet is a Worthless Tool, I do have to clarify something here.

    The implication was very much clear, but he did not explicitly say “trangender people will end.” He intimated that if they lose the ground they deserve to lose that it “will never end.”

    We have to be accurate in our commentary about and towards the Fascists. To devolve into their tactics is to give them ammunition to fuel the brainwashed.

    He absolutely wants our Family dead and gone–Project 2025 literally laid out the plan to make our Trans Family illegal(criminalize porn, redefine porn to include transgender persons, thereby making it illegal to exist). But we have to report accurately, not fuel the Apologists who will look at this article and go “look at this radical–Fearless Leader never said that.”

    The Annoying Orange will eventually fade, but the Nazis(GOP) will remain trouble nonetheless. Let us accurately report their idiocy so people can wake up.
