wanting to have kids in order to continue your family line and leave a legacy is a normal, natural human desire.

wanting to have kids in order to not be alone in your old age (or in general) is a normal, natural human desire.

wanting to have kids in order to see the essences of you and your spouse combined into a new person is a normal, natural human desire.

these should all be subordinate to a desire to raise that child well for his or her own sake, and to the glory of their Creator. but these are all perfectly normal, even good reasons to want children. God gave us these desires for a reason.

if ur comfortable doing this, how would tfone starscream feel about an autistic reader? i’d love to know, especially as one myself

(i'm autistic too, don't worry!)

in all honesty, starscream... doesn't really care.

that's not necessarily a bad thing. to him, it's just another human thing to get used to. he's not dismissive of it. he doesn't belittle you for it. he doesn't try to hide it. it's just... there. another thing about you, like your softer skin or how small you are compared to him.

he really only noticed something was different about you when he saw you stimming with your hands at one point. the conversation went about like this:

"what are you doing?"

"oh, um... i'm stimming? i do it when i get anxious. it helps me calm down."

"is that a human thing?"

"sort of? i'm autistic, so i tend to do that a lot."

"autistic? what's that?"

"it means i have autism. it's a disability. my brain works different from other people."

"oh... is it fatal or something?"

"no, thankfully."

"alright then."

and that's about it. he didn't press any further, because to him, it's a human thing, and that's all he needs to know. though, it does help explain some of your behaviors. if he ever sees you doing something he hasn't seen in other cybertronians, all he has to do is ask, "is that your... your thing? whatever it's called?" and wait for an answer. if you say yes, then he's satisfied.

it's kind of nice, honestly. he views it like frame differences in cybertronians. some fly, some roll, some do both, and every frame has different needs. to him, maybe you're a different frame from some other humans. it's not a perfect analogy, but it works for the two of you.

“Humans are inherently selfish--" Then why do so many cultures value hospitality, to the point of dictating it in their religions? Why is it so common for hosts to offer their visitors their best food, and as much of it as they can? At some point, multiple cultures decided that they knew what it felt like to be alone and vulnerable, and promised each other to never let those who stay with them feel that way. That doesn't sound very "inherently selfish" to me.

The crux of the anti trans movement is a war on bodily autonomy. They don't want you to have any agency over what you look like, how you dress, who you date, whether to have kids, etc.

They want total control over you. Not just trans people. Not just queer people. You. Everyone.

Trans people are just a scapegoat. They want total control over everyone's self expression. They want the right to mold you into their perfect little cog in their dehumanizing machine.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility. Our rights are your rights. Our destruction is your destruction.

I understand that tall men are our POV characters, but surely being like a foot taller than everyone around them would have some occasional consequences

Once when I was a kid my dad told me to “stop being a you-know-what”. And we’d done the whole song and dance enough times that I knew he meant “bitch”, so I told him: That’s cheating. You know what you mean, and I know what you mean- you’re just stepping around it so you can pretend you’re on the high ground. So if you’re going to call me a bitch, at least have the balls to actually say it.

And it’s been about fifteen years since then but I’m just now figuring out that that’s the same feeling I get hearing shit like “grape” and “unalive”.

If your audience knows what you mean, you might as well actually say it. Otherwise you’re just fucking hiding
