This take is insane, as to be expected, but their approach of meditate the trans away sounds like the modern-day pseudo spiritualist equivalent to pray the gay away. Absolutely insane person and take, not very zen for someone preaching (conversion) therapy and meditation.

"Improvements in mental health" is a classic pro-trans argument, but it's grounded in self-reporting and thus a faulty metric. "My mental health improved when I got to do whatever I want and everyone around me had to pretend it was fine"- maybe you do feel better, perhaps in the same way someone might feel good after making an impulse purchase or taking drugs, but what improved was only your surface-level feeling of happiness, rather than your actual material wellbeing, which is obviously not benefitted by dissociating from your female body and coercing your family and friends into denying material reality to continue interacting with you. An actual holistic approach to your wellbeing involves rejecting mind-body dualism (female body, special magical male soul) and embracing that the mind is an extension of your (female) body and that its best interest is not for you to feel superficially pleased with the potemkin identity you've created but rather to be connected and content within your natural experience of the world.

You could very easily mitigate whatever extra stress you experienced as a result of detransitioning through cognitive behaviour therapy, gender exploratory therapy, meditation, practising body neutrality, and if all else fails, anti-anxiety medication. I also can't stress how much relief detransitioners describe when they relax and let down the pretense and just let themselves think "I'm female, I'll always be female, and that's okay"- no more acting, just being what you are.

You seem to be under the impression that my loved ones are just humoring me and lying to me and frankly that’s a shitty way to talk about my grandma. You’ve insulted my grandma, I’ll have you know. You’re calling my grandma a liar. That woman doesn’t know how to lie and has the fear of god in her heart.

Also I’ve been to therapy and the therapists agreed I should transition. I don’t see how you would know me better than my therapist and my grandma. Now get off my lawn and stop calling my grandma a liar.

I sometimes keep an eye on my city's subreddit and I can't keep up for long. The amount of vitriol, hate and frustration at the homeless here. The amount of fear of their neighbors. I want to be there to be a community member. Offer to help change someone's oil if they need some tools they don't have, recommend my favorite hair salon, that sort of thing, but more than half the posts are about how scared someone is.

People were planning to yell at a homeless person and call him names because he was catcalling women. He shouldn't be catcalling, but what do you get by harassing him? He's got nothing to lose, he sleeps on the sidewalk. You can't really have an emotional epiphany in that state. And seeing these opinions, the broad support of counter productive sweeps of their property makes more sense. But it's sad. I want to help people, not put down those below me that are clawing upwards in a desperate attempt to survive, to not be looked through but to be looked at.

I was about to ask if I'm crazy, cause it looks like if you order "Joy" you get a $4 almond joy (unspecified size, imagining fun), but the labubu is so much more important.

La-HA! hit me like a fucking drug.

Power scaling conversations are always fun to listen in on. "My touys are stronger than YOURS." But they tend to miss the point, that each of these characters come from their own stories and contexts in which their powers are applicable.

Is Superman stronger than Omni man? Well, necessarily, within each of their own stories, they are stronger than the other. The point of Superman is that, a person given abilities which he could rule a world with, his morals are so strong that he chooses not to, and instead help those around him. (And uphold the status quo, but that's not really the point.)

Omni man is the all powerful character who chooses to use his powers to rule the world, with his own philosophy.

So like, the actual conversation, on a fundamental level, is flawed because the powers exist to serve a narrative purpose. Could Goku beat sailor moon? I don't think so, but depending on which is the main character at any given time, they will be able to cultivate some strength the other doesn't have. Right? Like, that's how these stories work.

Anyways, my made up guy supertronicgirl can beat all of your guys without moving more than a pinky, so I win and you lose.

To quote an old friend "there's a little bit of puppy girl in every trans woman, however small."

I do believe this can be extracted and brought the the surface. Through manipulation, or perhaps hypnosis.

I flipped off a cyber truck and it followed me for like two miles. I was driving my project car and could take corners way faster than him so I lost him in the back roads I happen to know pretty well.

Even when they're being intimidating they're morons.

The... Theoretical length of one side of a tablespoon if it were a cube and not a spoon?

A milliliter is equivalent in volume to one cubic centimeter. So the cube root of a tablespoon is about 2.45 cm. Funnily enough this is like .97 inches, which I'd be comfortable rounding up to an inch.

Thank you Wolfram|Alpha, this is the worst unit of length I’ve ever seen

Living with my family of 1) ADHD 2) Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and 3) Autism makes being ADHD such a nightmare.

Where'd you put my tool? I left it here five minutes ago (three days ago)! I need that and now nothing is where it should be! It was in the way? So where'd you put it? In the dark recesses of the garage? It might as well be in Narnia then.

Having ADHD is so fun because sometimes youre looking for something that you use regularly and definitely put away in a smart and reasonable place and you have absolutely 0 hope of remembering where and finding it. And then other times ur like "hmm I need a some kind of small pointed object. I feel like i remember seeing a paperclip under the left couch cushion a month ago, i wonder if its still there" and it is

I... Hmm. I'm beginning to think my friend may be attracted to me.

I'm also beginning to notice text trends (that I'm working hard to break cause anxiety is a bitch) of nervous texting I usually display with a person I have a crush on.

Welp. Time goes on.

These groups are not mutually exclusive, in my experience.

YOU 🫵 can amass a friend group of childless people in their 30s as long as you pull from these 3 demographics

Queer freaks from the internet

Highly-educated weird women

Gamer men who became adjusted and compassionate in their 20s but still are not comfortable recognizing this in themselves so they’re putting off dating in order to play the horse girl gacha game

Can old dudes stop staring at my tits and then scowl at me like I betrayed them once they realize I'm trans? I'm not sorry I'm hot and draw your attention, and even less sorry you're mad at me for being trans. Get over yourself, and stop leering at women, assholes.
