Jesus Christ. Republicans can never stop being obsessed with where transgender persons go poddy. That's like 90% of those bills. Along with the typical "discrimination doesn't apply to anyone in the LGBT community"
and then.... there's this one from my lovely state.
HB 2600
What it does: Voids any vital record documents, like marriage licenses and birth certificates, if they have a gender marker that doesn’t match a person’s sex assigned at birth.
Just. What the fuck?
let's not get it twisted: this ain't just a republican thing
Well actually by and large, yes. It is. Out of curiosity I looked up the name of every representative attached to every bill in that article. The only Democrats attached to them are to be found in Illinois (1), Massachusetts (6), and Missouri (1).
So that's 6 Democrat representatives overall compared to the oh.... 141 Republicans.
Earlier today I found an old lesbian dating sim that I was the writer of and have been looking at concept art of it all day.
I've been gay for so long everyone.
I'm to excited about finding this so here's all the characters.
I may retackle this project and diversify it more.

i am not speaking strictly about legislation
yeah, republicans might be more open about hating trans people, but it isn't just a political party thing, its a societal thing
the republican party is leading the charge with anti-trans legislation but giving them too much of the spotlight enables others (including allies) to get away with micro-aggressions and more
and also it creates a sense of complacency in those of us who want to aid the community ("well, I'm not a republican so I'm not doing damage")
which is obviously not an intentional mindset but still one to be avoided

I was speaking specifically about the legislation linked in that article. I guess I assumed your response had something to do with what was being discussed.
Like, I'm cismale, and the number of times I've had to deal with my parent/family member defending harmful actions with "I was just trying to help!" is innumerable.

I do think it's good to clarify that it isn't just republicans that aren't cool to trans people, i think that has a bit to do with what's being discussed!
But that bill you linked is some fucked up shit, what state is that?
Ya it is a societal issue. My family and friends back home in IL are all good democrats vote straight D in every election etc… But when they found out I dated a girl who was intersex I was being called Gay, “F**”, Swishy “so who wore the panties” and well think of any other combination of insults and rhyming insults you can throw at someone. Never mind explaining what intersex actually was or that we didn’t have sex, it was game over.
I still get it now from some of them never mind I’ve been married to a woman for 15+ years. And don’t even get me started on the racism when I Was dating her and my wife.. just UGH!!
To bounce off of this, one thing I've appreciated in the More than Meets the Eye series is not all of the robots have male human avatars.
Cyclonus, Tailgate and Bluestreak are all shown with female avatars. If I remember right, the series writer, James Roberts, said that the bots choose their avatars based on how they identify.
It's rather neat.
Then we also have Rodimus McFly and Grandpa Megatron.
I remember something like that from one of the earlier issues a while back.
They were looking for a place to chill, off-duty, using their avatars to briefly scope out a bar.
If I recall, Ultra Magnus' avatar was based on a human woman that he'd worked with for a while.
I read your pre-edited post(don't remember all the details. Won't go into it).
If something is eating you, please talk to someone about it. Speaking from experience, the worst thing you can do is keep it inside and just go about your day with a fake smile pretending everything is alright. I've been doing this for about a decade now. It hollows you out until there's pretty much nothing left.
Please get help.

I read the post when it was up and I understand. I really do. Disability is hard and it leads to way more introspection than is often comfortable, but if you need to talk about it, this'd be the place to do it. If you aren't ready to do that publicly though, I completely understand.
do any trans, nb or any otherwise gender nonconforming folk on here using twitter? i see similar avatars with users on this thread and im legitimately curious

Twitter is a place where famous people troll each other and the wider world publicly, where normal people kill time and occasionally brain cells, and where robotic people try to sell you on a trip to Brunei. And all in 140 characters or less.

It's a place where people are all "Don't post Star Wars spoilers. People that post spoilers are garbage people." on the night of SW:TFA's release and then a week later are merrily posting and retweeting major TFA spoilers.

i ask because its a good platform to network with trans folk and folks who can offer resources, should your requisite social networking groups on say like, Facebook don't yield anything good or the politics are too...facebook'd up
im not evangelizing the platform, so much as saying that keeping tabs on popular platforms can be very helpful to you in the trans experience. a great deal of the time there's a lot of solitary living associated with the closted and out experience. so it can be a good boon. i've got publishing work, some good friends and also a lot of opportunities.

it's "progressives" that I have to watch carefully, because the harm they do comes in the guise of help
doesn't matter if it's malicious or not

I can't even imagine how bad it is for transfolk.

And yes, I agree. What's why I made note of all 8 Democrats that signed on to those bills and which states they were from.
I still get it now from some of them never mind I’ve been married to a woman for 15+ years. And don’t even get me started on the racism when I Was dating her and my wife.. just UGH!!
:winky:
but honestly that sounds like some really unbearable shit

And Whirl's was a young girl with an eyepatch.
I have the depressions.

Let it out if you need to, dude. There's plenty of folks here that will listen.

I classify it more as talking into a void, and sometimes the void talks back, typically in the form of nudes of hentai.
yup
