People have known that water fluoridation is an international communist plot to sap and impurity our precious bodily fluids since at least the 50s!

Because using what little influence you have to prevent a trans genocide means you are endorsing Palestinian genocide, and are therefore a fascist. /s

It’s true. REAL anti-fascists only live in safe, non-fascist places. If you stay and try to fight the fascists, then you’re really just a fascist. /s

I’ve been using minoxidil and finasteride on and off for some years (on and off roughly correlating to hopeful and hopeless periods of mental health).

I’ve been informed by some hair loss people that at this stage they don’t think there’s any point wasting money on PRP or LLLT or anything like that, but I did recently buy a derma roller anyway, since they’re cheap and one can always hope for a miracle.

I think I’ll try to stick with a “delulu is the solulu” outlook until I’ve at least been on full dose HRT for a year or so and then cut my losses.

The essence of the trolley problem is to ask whether choosing not to exercise the agency that you have is a moral choice. The fact that you may not have complete control over the outcome doesn’t make the analogy bad in and of itself.

Suppose everyone else except you had already voted and exit polls suggested Trump had won by one vote. Would you vote, then? I don’t care what your answer is would be; that is between you and your own conscience. But, is the situation really so different from the real world situation where for all you know your vote might actually count?

You can disagree that the trolley problem comparison is apt, but I think calling it “deceitful and self-serving” is a stretch.

FWIW I am from the UK and I don’t care whether you vote or not.

If you hate imperialism hard enough, a viable third party candidate will emerge. You just have to try harder. /s

I think the most reasonable assumption would be that the Democrats reckon that coming out against Israel will lose them more zionist votes then sticking with Israel will lose them anti-genocide votes. And given the amount of money AIPAC has been throwing around against anti-zionist candidates in primaries, that might not be an incorrect reckoning.

Why is the mash brown? And why does it look too gloopy? I have a theory that this lunatic has mixed gravy directly into the mash.

Some frogs ribbit. Other frogs croak.

I fail to see how eating cold solid coconut oil would be significantly harder than drinking warm liquid coconut oil.

I fail to see how the oil being warm comes into it, to be honest.

He can’t be the pigeon lady because it turned out the pigeon lady was likeable.

Tell me your secrets, trams.

The UK was not open and tolerant in the 70s, which is why there was one race riot after another on the 80s.

The UK has definitely gotten worse in the last few years or so, possibly a decade, but before that was a golden period just after terrorism-related Islamophobia had died down and before refugee-related Islamophobia kicked in where the UK was probably the best it ever was on terms of racial attitudes.

I still present as male pretty much anywhere that isn’t my house, but I often paint my nails and I usually also get them done at a salon while getting my eyebrows waxed.

No one has ever said anything about the eyebrows, and maybe two or three people ever have said anything about the nails, and they were complimentary.

The problem with having to prove you’re gay is that most gay people don’t live their lives collecting documentary evidence of their gayness. So you unless you have contact details for a whole load of same-sex partners willing to testify that you banged, you have to contrive evidence. And then the fact that the evidence looks contrived counts against you. You can’t win, and the law is an ass.

You can tell it’s British by the fact that there are two white vans and not a pick-up truck in sight.

Comments so far seems to be mostly telling you that you are valid, and I would also like to start off by affirming that, but I would also like to try to directly address your question.

Let’s say, for the sake of argument, (what? Ben Shapiro doesn’t own that phrase) that the behaviour and feelings you describe are not normal for transmascs. What does that mean for you? Is the transmasc label important to you? Would you change things about yourself to confirm to normal transmasc-ness? Or would you try to find a different label? When you describe yourself as a transmasc demiboy, what is it specifically you are trying to convey about your identity?

Whatever you are, or want to be, is valid, and I guarantee there’s a bunch of people who will feel a similar way. Between “he/him lesbians” and “afab femboys” etc. there’s a whole world of people who probably have similar feelings, and if you are feeling some conflict between your own identity and the transmasc label, maybe it’s just a case of trying a slightly different label? Or just describe yourself as transmasc anyway if you want to? No one said you have to be normal.

Hey, no worries! It just seemed like a funny response to post. I appreciate you going out of your way to educate.
