I think the fascist’s assumption is that things can’t get much worse for them, so they might as well make their enemies suffer more as well:

“We can’t take a bigger L than we already have, so by doubling down we can outlast Iran and the rest of the world. Even though we’ll have to deal with increased energy costs and a worsening economy, many other nations will be hit harder as we have enough domestic production. Our domestic oil exec buddies can even sell for a profit at high prices. The November elections can’t get any worse for us and our base will never truly falter, so now might be time to pivot towards rigging elections and nullifying Congress!”

Of course, things absolutely can get worse for America, as a prolonged closure will cause every nation on earth to totally abandon the US. Our economy can absolutely go into a deep depression if something else goes wrong, and the ripple effects from that could be monumental.

I think you mean liberals. It should be crystal clear by now that liberals were never leftists.

thousands of stacking poison damage and dozens of stimpacks later

so PugJesus, who posts like 90% of the memes here, doesn’t miss out from federation. Bish earned the instance ban on blahaj.zone, but it felt rude to not have them see a post on a comm they enjoy. Plus, this prevents a double post of the same meme in the future.

Legit felt like I had fewer choices with those mods. I wanted to murder all those poorly written NPCs when I walked in on Depravity, but I was low level and everyone was essential (at least after saying “I’ll think about it”). At least Fusion City Rising didn’t fuck with the main quests as much.

Compared to literally every major quest mod I’ve played for Skyrim, it was shockingly bad. Only the dungeon crawling and cosmetic loot were worth my time.

Ideally they’ll start hormones or go off blockers by about 16, but you can’t comprehend that because you already decided that 18 had to be the start point. You don’t want trans kids lucky enough to discover their identity early to transition, probably not thinking through what the consequences are. You hope that they’ll not medically transition, but in all likelihood, they’ll just end up suicidally depressed for no good reason.

You’re correct in assuming that gender isn’t a choice, but incorrect in how you apply that idea. Attempts have been made to force cis boys that got maimed by botched circumcisions to be girls. They did not end well. Attempts have been made to find alternatives to gender affirmation, but they never work. Nobody can be converted. Nobody knows how.

Stop being a knob and accept the failures of naive doctors trying to snuff us from existence. You affirm us, or you torture us. There is no other option.

So r u!

If only, but yuri conquers my mind. I guess it’s better to be a gay loser than a rich parasite anyways ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There’s something attractive about someone who can dominate you

Learn to love yourself so you have something to fight for. Be consciously grateful for the good things in life, as you’ll get more happiness out of them than you do now. Live in the moment so you can fully appreciate what you experience.

Working will still suck and you’ll feel bad sometimes, but so long as you can get everything out of the good; so long as you don’t let bullshit ruin your sense of self, you won’t want to die.

Filling your life in this way is a constant effort, but it will keep it from being hollow. Novel interests alone can’t compete.

I don’t even need to hear most of them out; I totally get it 😭

This is just text written anywhere. There’s an art to making yourself understood in different contexts.

GIMME!!!

I’m afraid no girlhugs then 😁

I won’t force girl cuddles. You need to take your estrogen and water first! ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ

🥰 Tysm! I really try my best to help people, so I really appreciate what you say!

My last bit of parting wisdom is to not expect the bad feels to go away on their own. You’re on the right path, but it will take action and bravery to make it over the finish line. Saying that you might not “have anything to work towards” if you were cishet makes me think that you want to be a transfem. It’s ok. That’s all you need!

It’s ok, I’ve been there too. I used to wish I was trans, but I was scared that I was just looking for an easy solution to my problems. It wasn’t an easy solution, not because it isn’t everything I was hoping for, but because it is not easy being trans. Even though I was convinced I wanted HRT from the day I came out, I let myself get fucked around by American health insurance for over a year when I could’ve literally paid a few hundred dollars to get it far quicker. There is a damn good reason that I celebrate the CEO assassination.

Since I came out, I’ve actually looked into the science as best I could. I’ve realized that the entire system is fundamentally limited, from the way we classify disorders, to the way we even understand evolutionary classifications. It’s all made up, because at the end of the day, they’re just tools we created.

Our entire understanding of everything from identity to particle physics is constructed to serve. At a neurological level, we build a simulation of reality to better survive in it. The spoon only exists in our mind; the form isn’t real.

We cannot choose how we feel about our gender; no free will there. Your doubts and misgivings about anything have the ability to protect, but they can also harm. Consider how these doubts about your identity are working out as tools to benefit you: Are you better off because of them, or are they chains tied to a sinking rock?
