reminder: Harry Potter tattoos have a higher regret rate than trans surgeries and that’s very funny actually

    I see no reason to believe people with HP tattoos are for some reason magically (hah) more immune to regret than people with other tattoos in general, especially when HP in particular is linked with a bigoted public figure 🤷‍♂️

      Oh no, you misunderstand. I want to see that rate HIGHER than the general tattoo regret. I don’t think it’s lower. I fully believe it’s higher. And it’s definitely much higher than the amount of trans regrets.

      But for me to share it, I’d like to see that the number of people who regret their HP tattoo is also enough higher than the baseline tattoo regret to beat out the amount of trans regrets. That sentence got away from me but I hope you understand what I mean.

      My reasoning is that people would just dismiss it by saying “A quarter of people regret their tattoos anyway”. Because I want to be able to confidentially fire back “True! However, the Harry Potter tattoo regret is greater than the baseline tattoo regret by 10%. Also, go fuck yourself!”

      All because I’m petty enough to send it to known TERF groups.

        If you can somehow find/obtain that data PLEASE send it TERF groups.

        Technically you could just make it up the way anti-trans propaganda is made up, but we should try not to sink to their level.

          The big difference besides the fact that I have morals is that I don’t have time to debunk their shit, but their hateful asses have way too much time to debunk anything I might say on the slightest technicality because they’re lonely, hateful piles of shit.
