The only factor that puzzled me was combining gender dysphoria and pregnancy.

I just included that last line to show they did sex reassignment (or just got a prosthetic while keeping their vagina. I don't know them, I don't know their situation), nothing to do with "peeing standing up" lessons there.

As for the quoted bit: Where is the bridge too far for you? Not every Trans-Person (as hashtaggy as that sounds) is "dying" to transisition ASAP/GOTTA HAVE IT NAO. Some of these folks are willing to put up with the "distress" (which isn't as huge as you're thinking it is with these folks that do this) of staying in their original gender to achieve a "short-term goal"/life-milestone then achieve their "long-term goal."

I guess in otherwords it's like someone (that wants to get a college degree) dropping out of HS to go pro (in whatever you want to consider), retiring, getting their GED and then going to college. Short-term gain (money/fame) then long-term goal (getting a degree).

Which is a stupid analogy I know, but you get what I mean.

I thought only those with crippling symptons went for the change. That was my doubt. Yeah, what you're saying is just because you flipped burgers for 9 months it doesn't mean you can be in the attitude of flipping burgers forever.  But I thought it was very crippling, by the way people tend to explain their transition.

[thisismyusername]

I'm not trans, so speaking for them (since Himu is gone) "definitively" is kinda thin-ice-y for me, personally but: It really depends on the person. The "discomfort level" of their original gender (trapped in another body) varies, in my experience. Some folks really do hate their original gender. Some are "okay" with it enough to change their looks:

Not all transgender people choose to have surgery as part of a gender transition,

While others (like this guy, who took their original genders breasts off after breast feeding for the sake of "looking normal") will do gender reassignment to feel "complete."

I think the key take-away from this article that you're feeling doesn't make sense is here:

They both knew they wanted to be parents. After they were married in 2016, they agreed that Sabastion would carry their child -- a decision, Angel Sparks says, that wasn't taken lightly. Like many transgender men and women, they had been taking medication to increase the testosterone or estrogen in their bodies. So to make a baby, they briefly stopped taking their hormone pills.
The couple conceived their son the conventional way, even though their biological roles at the time were not compatible with how they saw themselves.

Underlined line is where you're "you've lost me," I feel. But the bold bit is where it is. They decided they wanted to be parents -- even when they started to transisition -- knew that they couldn't do it if they had SRS, did it in their original genders. Had the child, and then completed. For them, the dysphoria/pain of being their original gender is "man, this sucks. But I know if I go to my desired gender I'll lose my chance of having a son/daughter. My partner agrees they want a kid as well. Let's do this, and then be 'complete.'"

can anyone help me understand stuff like this?

https://edition.cnn.com/2018/06/15/health/transgender-fathers-day-trnd/index.html


Like let's look at the parameters:

-have gender dysphoria to the point you need to transition
-get pregnant which is the most female thing you can do in life
-breastfeed
-finish transition and make your child accept your new identity.


Last parameter, I really don't mind it. But how on earth can you have transition-level dysphoria and undergo a pregnancy. It just doesn't add up imo.

PS: this relates to REE because everything is trans.

I saw that article, that was nuts.

[Rufus]

How do you cope with the stress of being on a body that doesn't define you to do it. In other words, how can they endure that as a positive thing, when supposedly dysphoria is absolutely life-wrecking as they're describing it. And the question that I was making is: if they can mentally withstand it, why can't they find a way to make it work in their daily lifes just like they made the pregnancy work without doing the transition? Is it because it's a short term goal and they just endure a psychological trauma? That's my question, not the biological factor about it.

Putting my money on this one. It's a more (the most?) intensely female experience, but it's also strictly temporary so they did what's practical.

As a self-proclaimed socialist I can't deny he's kind of right, but this applies only to young American brats and only because socialism has become a fashion statement to them. So this is a pretty generalized statement especially for a dude that wasn't born in USA.

You certainly can't make the same statement for the rest of the world where the left has culture, tradition and history especially in second-third world countries where the left hasn't been diluted to just mean social democracy at best and neoliberalism at worst.

Just confirming the issue of people overestimating blacks as if they're sub-human bricks of terrifying muscle and unstoppable power.

Springfield is based on Portland, OR iirc... here are salaries for nuclear engineers at the nearest power plant: ($94k)
https://www.glassdoor.com/Salary/NuScale-Power-Salaries-E295006.htm

Medium home cost is $429,000
https://www.zillow.com/portland-or/home-values/

Definitely affordable... plus the house was technically purchased around the 80s which would mean lower housing costs all around.

He was more like a safety technician. He sits in some kind of control room monitoring what is going on. The joke is you have got the dumbest person in Springfield in charge of protecting the power station from meltdown.

I imagine it is still a well paid job.

I got a 3 day ban for perpetuating harmful stereotypes against Asians which is pretty surprising when I thought I had a lifetime of experience with this subject (Iranian).

The saying "A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one" totally applies to the people moaning about underserved communities getting a boost even though they followed the formula their parents laid out.

Lol. I don't typically hear about the Asians being all rich stereotype, but as far as the Asians are "violin-playing model students" stereotype goes..... It doesn't help that a major majority of Asians take up string instruments (or the piano) as a side hobby.

Because when an admissions system is being secretly exploited by a university in an effort to reject Asian kids, it's obviously all about black people.

This sentence is amazing:

Harvard vigorously disagreed on Friday, saying that its own expert analysis showed no discrimination and that seeking diversity is a valuable part of student selection.

Surely seeking 'diversity' can only come at the expense of ignoring other categories like 'merit'?

It kind of reminds me of this image.
