It’s hard for me to feel “strong” for just kinda continuing to exist for a while. It was barely a choice. But even if we grant that I’m strong, I can’t seem to care about that.

I figure you’re not a doctor specializing in this, so you should not be so confident. This sounds like extreme confirmation bias to me.

Yeah, that happened to me too. I look back on those egg days somewhat fondly, because I felt a magic from finally being able to imagine a happy future and who I could be.

Conservatives talking about trans people so much infected me with the trans

Yeah, I got a problem with n^{logn}, wtf is that monstrosity??

If people want to sexualize themselves or are okay being sexualized, sure, but in general, no.

Using gender purely to change how your sexuality is perceived feels icky to me. I believe that’s even a talking point transphobes use to delegitimize trans people’s existence.

You can be straight but not Straight™ though.

I also like to pretend.

My brain just skipped over that the first time, oops.

I can see why people would be suspicious of you because this sounds similar to what a transphobe might do to mock trans men, but as long as you’re doing this in good faith and not using it to overgeneralize anything I think it’s fine.

It reads like you don’t want to be a woman in a “woman” way? I think I get that. I’m transfem and gender fluid and sometimes feel like a man in a non-man way. But I generally don’t tell people that because it might give them the wrong impression and make them treat me in ways I don’t want.

I can see why people would think it’s dishonest, but is it actually dishonest, or just unexpected?

I think even a lot of trans people don’t really grasp things like gender fluid and bigender, so it’s easy to do bad reasoning like “different gender in person => lied about gender” under the assumption that people only have 1 gender.

I don’t think it’s unfair as long as you clearly communicate it and the other person is okay with it. Lots of oddities can be okay and fair as long as they’re clearly communicated about and agreed on.

He’d find a way to make you regret that I’m sure

Have you heard of Arch, btw?

Me rewriting it in Rust

“What’s your favorite food?”

‘Both curry and ice cream.’

“How can you be into both?”

I’d rather not wager millions of people’s food security on that bet though. That magic must come FIRST, before we rely on it.

Expectations are bad, yes, but then here you are pushing your own expectations. I’ve not seen any push against women being mothers except for economic forces.

My role is not to have your kids. Sure, people can do that if they want, but the roles you speak of are nothing more than how you wish to see things, they have no objectivity, and saying people should do what you want is stupid.

I gave you the benefit of the doubt despite being suspicious, but I guess you’ve now confirmed you’re just parroting incel talking points with no understanding of the world nor people. You can be a provider if you want, I don’t care, but I draw the line at demanding others conform to your ideals.

You seem to subtly direct everything at women. Men’s mental health is a problem, but we don’t need to play oppression olympics here. Let’s just keep it to the issue at hand rather than making constant comparisons.

women fill their role now ???

Do you mean that they’re equal? If so, what’s the problem? Women being allowed to do things doesn’t mean men can’t.

As a woman, I care about men being emotionally available. I’m gay, so I’m not gonna date/fuck them or anything, but I do care. The people I’ve seen who care the least about it are fellow men. Nobody deserves friends, family, or partners doing that to them.
