I’ve been feeling down lately and I started re-watching futurama for some good nostalgia, but it keeps making transphobic jokes which is kind of just making me feel worse. Anyone have any suggestions for comfort shows to watch?
It it really, though? If you consistently disprove someone’s claims using factual information and they choose to dismiss it, then they’re just willfully ignorant.
Stupidity can be corrected. Intentional stupidity is inexcusable
Heya! Just wanted to say, I had a very similar experience to you before coming out. I have no plans to pursue bottom surgery as I’m fine with my equipment, I never really had an issue being perceived as male until my 20s, and I was also bullied quite a bit when I was younger with other kids calling me gay and plenty of other derogatory terms. I also have stereotypically “male” hobbies and interests like video games, comics, sci-fi, and other nerdy shit.
I mention all of this to say, there really is no “checklist” or set of requirements for someone to be trans or queer. You don’t have to be girly, you don’t have to have genital dysphoria, you don’t need to have suffered dysphoria for your whole childhood. Tomboys exist, nonbinary people exist, genderfluid people exist… you don’t have to conform to any stereotype in order to be your true self. Also, some of us are just late bloomers or take a while to understand what we’ve been feeling.
I’m not saying you are or are not trans. Your self discovery is your own journey and you shouldn’t let others influence that, but that also works both ways. Nobody can tell you you’re trans, and nobody can tell you your cis, or anything outside or in-between. That is for you to figure out through your own self discovery.
I would encourage you to explore your thoughts and feelings, and perhaps look into seeing a counselor to help work through them if that is a feasible option (though be sure to find one that is LGBT+ friendly and won’t just write this off).
Wishing you the best of luck in your journey, wherever that may lead 💜
I’d recommend getting more involved in trans and other LGBT+ communities, and talking to others to learn about their experiences. Also, don’t focus so much on “what am I?”, but rather “what makes me comfortable and happy?” Putting a label on it can come later, or even not at all. Explore yourself first.
Here’s a page that’s got a few basic tips and links to other resources, hopefully it can be of some help uwm.edu/lgbtrc/support/questioning/
Just unfortunate that it can’t be preserved as a space-tourism destination or something of the sort. Would be neat if it was made into a museum something
China is also the largest source of pollution, and routinely lies about their emissions. Even if this were true, it does very little to offset the destruction they’re causing.
From what little I know about Scott, I doubt this was the intention. Could be, but I’m not convinced. Also that still leaves Monty unexplained, if the glamrock animatronics are still possessed by the souls of the originals - which I don’t believe is the case… pretty sure only the original game’s animatronics, marionette, Ballora, Baby, and maybe one or two others I can’t think of atm were actually possessed
Welp, if my fear of public spaces wasn’t enough already, this just solidifies it 🙃
Edit: it would be really fucking great if people just realized that citizens are not responsible for the actions of their government/military… this goes for everyone - US, Russia, China, Israel, Palestine, EVERYONE
Fuck the powers that be and their direct fucking over of everyone lying under their fist.
Except representative democracy is a myth… Majority rule ≠ representation. Non-majority groups are unaccounted for. Plus, while the people may vote for representatives, they ultimately have no control over what said representatives decide to actually do. They can campaign for and promise all they want, but once they’re in office, they’re there.
Citizens are not responsible for the actions of their government.

Non-religious Republicans of Lemmy, how do you reconcile your non-religious convictions with a party that bases a lot of its policies on religion?
E.g. abortion rights, anti-LGBTQ, contempt for atheism, Christian nationalism, etc.
