Honestly I don't think you should need a diagnosis of anything to get HRT. I think you should just be able to go buy it at CVS like it's ibuprofen.

employability is not a metric for ethics. there are ethical people who do nothing but write fanfic all day. and there are deeply unethical people who are managers and bosses and franchise executives

No one talks about how draining it is when your mood constantly switches between "keep going, it'll get better" and "I can't do this anymore. I'm about to give up."

i think any time a politician so much as suggests creating a national public registry of a minority group they should lose their job immediately, and then be shot

The only tucking a girl should feel obliged to do is into a warm bed or a good meal can I get a hell yeah sisters

Samus Aran is the most transfem character ever because she's had to become so very strong and well-prepared to operate in environments where everything wants to murder her, but for all her training and equipment, there's still situations in her life where the only way she can move forward is by balling herself up into the tiniest possible shape and rolling along the path before her. But eventually she gets to expand her options with explosives, and that's what every trans girl needs to urgently procure.

every tgirl you know will become one of three-ish kinds of people. If she's unlucky she'll become multiple kinds of people in a really annoying and bothersome way. they are all different people but they come from the same place: this world fucking hates us and we need to become something that can weather it. she needs to survive and this is how that works

I know we are all used to hear bad news from the USA or UK when it comes to trans rights but this time Germany wants to play in the same league.

Our idiots at home ministry came up with the fucking idea to start a register for all transgender and nonbinary people which would mean every person working at some public position could always at any given time see your assigned gender at birth, your deadname, your address and who knows what else.

We had been there in the past. Hitler Germany called it the "Travestite Law" back then. Our politicians didn't learn.

We all know this is unacceptable.

Please, if you are German, sign it. If you are not, spread it wide and far.

This had been stopped once a few years ago. It needs to be stopped again.

Unfortunately, it speaks volumes of a platform the way they respond to reactionary policy changes. Yes, mastercard and visa are pressuring itch, and they were likely forced to make changes. However they chose to delist games overnight without warning, and follow it up by creating a series of strict guidelines with no chance for appeal.

There are people who will say itch *has* to comply with the standards set by these credit card companies, and yeah, they almost certainly had to do something. But you can only pass the buck so far. They capitulated immediately, and there's been no indication that they'll reverse their new policies if things change. At what point do we recognize that platforms have a responsibility to their userbase?

I think some people have trouble seeing fascism as anything other than 1940s Germany.

But I think 'people going to a comic convention needing to have a plan in case the government's goons show up to disappear people' is a pretty good demonstration of what it can look like in 2025.

I'm cringe cause I'll be like "fuck cops, pirate everything, support independent artists, protest everything and blow up cars" and then I'll be like "what do you mean you're smoking don't you know that's bad for you and the people around you"
