Absolute fucking madness from the asexual Reddit community lol. Ig they're more at home there with the incels anyways.

stay classy, r/asexuality

Yes. Fucking duh, genders dysphoria is severe. You don't have healthy tissue amputated in unperfected, new surgeries bc you have a little bit of distress about your gender, you do it because you're in danger of suicide if you continue presenting as your assigned gender. What the fuck motivates nondysphoric trans people? You don't want to be a woman? Neither has any woman born into a patriarchal society! The difference is that trans people also have sever destress around their physical and social gender markers. Without that distress, why transition??? It's expensive, dangerous, and permanently damages many parts of you (my uterus is going to atrophy painfully because of my testosterone usage, but I was so dangerously distressed about my voice and other secondary sex characteristics that it's worth it).

Psychiatric diagnoses like gender dysphoria are respected in the medical field, while feelings of gender non conformity are common in all children raised with strcit gender roles. Transition, both social and medical, is only used to treat the former.

being dysphoric is crucial to the trans experience and is Central to the reason trans people have been oppressed. the desire to "pass" as the opposite gender, no matter the risk to personal safety, socio-economic standing, and relationships to family and loved one can only really be rationalized from the discomfort of living as the wrong gender.

We are forced to live in a system that steals from us daily, Kill snitch culture.

i hope she is living her best life

Thank God @acti-veg tackled this post it is So Worng and So Long and So Popular bc no one has ever fact checked anything.

Repeat after me: - Veganism is not affordable - Veganism is not cruelty free - Veganism is not the best choice for everyone

this website should quite frankly apologize to gay men and especially lesbians for that allo privilege and mono privilege bullshit y'all keep pulling

Trans men: *create spaces where they can openly deal with dysphoria and the constant anxieties and pressures of passing and transitioning.*

Tucutes: WE HAVE NONE OF THOSE PROBLEMS PLEASE LET US IN!!!!!!!!!!!

trans men: *continue trying to have spaces*

tucutes: why won't you indulge my entitlement to your sense of community?? ur cis bootlickers!!! Come lick my cis boots!

“Revolt is impossible, no one will do it.” - Millions of people  right now who are so alienated they want to die while still struggling through a job they hate to pay for things they never wanted. 

I don’t think people know what oppression actually is on this site. Like systemic, legal, psychological and generational oppression that almost feels like it’s been embedded in your DNA. Wearing the weight of your ancestors for the rest of your life. It determining where you live, how you speak to others, etc. It’s not just someone being mean to you or some other dumb shit that would cease to exist once you log off and go outside.

I don't want to address most of the claims in this post, but I do have a couple notes:

-phytoestrogens in soy DO NOT interfere with testosterone therapy, I looked into this extensively when I started testosterone and was vegetarian, I'm still currently doing both and am just fine :)

-veganism doesn't cause EVERYONES chronic illness to spike, and it should be mentioned that reducing dairy and meat intake is actually super helpful! It helped me deal with a lot of the inflammation from my fibromyalgia!

-B12 isn't found only in animal products, and the supplements are pretty inexpensive. It's a very common deficiency even in non-vegans! There are vegan D3 supplements for that easy to process nutrition! There are also plenty of plant milks and other vegan products fortified with B12, the same way it can be added to regular milk!

Please be careful when spreading information that may cause people unnecessary worry, the rumor that soy interferes with testosterone therapy terrified me for a long time and it is a common myth that should be dispelled!

Veganism isn't for everyone, but no diet is, living cruelty-free under capitalism is impossible, but it is everyone's duty to put their actions into changing the world, and saving the climate however they are able.

Repeat after me: - Veganism is not affordable - Veganism is not cruelty free - Veganism is not the best choice for everyone

There is no ethical way to hoard the majority of the world's resources while other humans die. There is no ethical way to squeeze a profit margin out of someone else's work, you must underpay and/or overcharge.

If there’s a minimum wage, why isn’t there a maximum wage?

happy diabetes month, insulin is overpriced as shit and people shouldn’t have to die bc they can’t afford insulin

the fact that some of y’all can’t fathom relationships with friends that are deep and not romantic, but still considered friendships, makes me very, very sad.

I hug my friends. I cuddle my friends. My friends feel comfortable around me if they need to change clothes. My friends and I talk extensively about what’s on our minds. I’ve roomed with my friends, shared beds with friends, I tell my friends I love them and none of it is romantic, it’s just a damn close friendship.

You’re allowed to have those, you don’t need a whole new word.
