Saw a user identify as a trans medicalist in the pride flags thread. Or I'm misinterpreting why they posted that flag.
I'm such a crappy ally, I didn't even know what it was until now.

113,567 I didn't know either. Also, I wonder if there is a similarity between gender dysphoria and foreign limb syndrome... namely the internal 'map' of oneself doesn't match the physical self

Transmedicalism also apparently rejects the existence of nonbinary people, which sounds...problematic, to say the least.

113,569 I agree, it is problematic to reject a reasonable identity request

how are you a crappy ally? I didn't even know what it is so don't worry about it. No one is crappy for not knowing something. After all at some point we all didn't know what anything meant.

I'm very liberal when it comes to identity. Someday, the technology (CRISPR, nanotech, etc.) will exist that will allow people to change their looks as easily as we can in character customization screens in video games. All of today's identity politics will be rendered moot, and people will be truly free, not just to be who they really are, but also whatever they feel like trying for a period of time.

Idk, I just always feel responsible for this sort of thing. Like I told you in our convo, I was raised in a household of transphobia, homophobia, racism, sexism, etc. The guilt still eats at me, Namelesa. I think it always will.

Thats probably only going to be accessed by the rich honestly tho maybe I am wrong.

Its not your fault you were raised in that household and no should hold that against you. We are forced with whatever upbringing we had.

113,576 so true... and reading the posts of SaSu I've read about ppl who both try to destroy themselves permanently... as well as those who try and get help here (due to family and related)

At first, sure. Just like with cell phones, it will eventually become available to all.

And thank you for those sentiments. I am my own worst critic, I'm sure.

yea they can. especially as you are forced with what you have. That part of why I say abusive neglect parents are the worst kind of people to exist.

113,594 existing I guess. Just neutral. I wish I could just feel like this all the time and just be on auto-pilot. That would make things easier.
