(Not using my typing quirk causes me dysphoria. I will provide a translation upon request only.) ~ The reason why I joined this instance was 8ecause I’ve 8een kicked off of Tum8lr for having the opinion that transness doesn’t just apply to gender. I don’t just pull this out of my ass - I actually experience nongender transness myself and I’m fully willing to 8e asked and/or grilled a8out it. I call myself transcharacter.

My Tum8lr termin8ion came entirely from claims of transpho8ia, 8ecause somehow in their minds identifying a8normally equals not supporting trans folkel/people? I don’t quite understand how that works, 8ut I can say I’m not transpho8ic. I discovered that I feel this way through hearing other trans folkel/people discuss their experiences and came to my own conclusions a8out myself.

I guess I’m wondering if this is a safe space for my ilk or if I’m just going to get kicked out again?

    well, it certainly has the appearance of mockery.

    i can feel more into this than other similar cases though. 8y which i mean, cases in which i cannot shake off the feeling, the author is just having a laugh at my and other, sincere users 8ehalf’s. sure this is unusual 8ut, i prefer to write all lower case, and cringe at capital letters a little so … yeah… assuming this is sincere, i kinda get it and (again, assuming sincerity from you) i lean towards 8elieving you… 8ut your account is fresh and i dont know you, so who the eff knows? shrug

    edit: actually, does emulating your style help you or how do you feel about this?

      Yeah, I’m fully aware of the fact that “I’m turning myself into a Homestuck character” has similar vi8es to “I identify as an attack helicopter.” 8ut let me ask you this: Would a conserv8ive go through nine tum8lr 8ans, get permanent 8ody mods, learn to type like this, and get posted to KiwiFarms twice just to “own the libs?” That seems like a lot for even the most determined h8er.

      I have extensive internet presence, 8ut I’m 8anned just a8out everywhere and none of it is archived except for 8ad shit I said when I was sixteen and stupid. I do have a 8luesky though if you want proof of me existing.

        i’ve been thinking some about “identifying as an attack helicopter”.

        basically they are expressing: “look at this beautifull perfect killing machine”. i can get behind that if they used it to kill fascists :3

      And I forgor 8ut no, typing like me makes things worse. You’re not a troll, it’s a tiny 8it appropriative.

        okidoke, well, idk. i still wouldnt say you are trans, but shrug if the concept fits for you, and your strategies help you feel good, and you enjoy the term, that’s more important than what other people make of it or how other people would call your … uh… idk its not exactly a condition, or maybe it is, not a native english speaker here :3

        have a good one
