The fact that she's against minors transitioning is pretty unacceptable as that's the only way most will ever be able to pass as Cis.

There needs to be a big, curated central place for trans people to be able to speak to each other in confidence, and discuss issues they face with their unique situation, without it spiraling out into a tornado of bullshit and classism. A forum for trans folks, a gated discord, whatever can be healthily moderated.Because twitter isn’t working. Saying somebody passes beautifully or handsomely, will always sound like “you look great, hon,” in a wide space like twitter. Criticizing somebody’s unique issues in their unique way of living will always look sketchy or righteous out in the open. And no matter what, if even an inkling of your identity is out in the open, you will most likely be harassed every single day, and for many, that is rightly impossible to live with.Is there a hangout strictly for Trans Folks? Because maybe there should be one. The community at large needs to stick together, work out their own system for discussing the troubles they face, individually and as a group, and find a method of supporting each other that feels legitimate, and helps them grow together, regardless of hardship.And that’s not going to happen if they constantly have to hold themselves accountable to the internet at large, majorly ignorant and sadly quite hostile. They need to get together and lock the doors until they have a foundation of support that they can rely on.Maybe turn off the other social media’s, go dark and make their own echo chamber, whatever can be done to enrich a community of individuals, brought together out of love and support despite wide differences, and help them focus on building something trans people of all walks of life can truly feel safe coming back to.

Why are we talking about the original artist and trying to interpret confusing cartoons especially under the watchword of “context”?The “context” is regardless of what the artist is about the adult swim Twitter account posting it in a specific way and the trashfire in the comments section because it has reached the people they meant it too. There is your “context”.It’s like right wing politicians trying to ridiculously co-opt and misinterpret Bruce Springsteen’s Born in the USA. Does any amount of talk of the song, or Bruce’s career, meaning or “context” change anything about why the right wingers keep trying to use that song? Same applies here.
QuoteYeah. What was the read and intent of the AS social media person? I’m pretty sure it wasn’t good considering how they have been of late and they are not trying to deny it or defend themselves. But in the end regardless of their intent it just shows me I have no interest in what they are peddling even if it wasn’t meant that way, because a lot of their fans in the comments sure think it was and are happy, and they are not taking time to disabuse them of that notion. They must have known what kind of controversy it would create and that’s not a good look to me either, in a world where the trans community is one of the groups suffering the most under Donald Trump why even court that, you could just keep your mouth shut, it’s irresponisble at best.
Yeah. What was the read and intent of the AS social media person?
As I said, regardless of intent (obviously I am not their Twitter person) they must have known the shitstorm it would cause and no attempts to clarify are not good either.This isn’t just “altrighters will co-op Joker” it’s something that can be interpreted as anti trans, calling them or journalists or whatever (I’ll venture not a good comic) liars, in a country where the violence against Trans people is astronomical and the government is trying their hardest to legislate them out of exsistence and strip as many protections as possible.If you cannot see how that is harmful on a whole other level I am not going to sit and argue with you since I don’t think our world views are similiar enough to come to an agreement, especially when it sparks a comment section that makes me fearful just for existing in these peoples eyes.
I never got quite understood and knew this site could be hypocritical on this particular but now I am starting to get for every one trans poster that stays there are two more that leave.
It’s just frustrating, I wish more people would try seeing things through the eyes of others. Being offended isn’t always a logic thing, especially when it hits you in the gut where you live. And adult swim, employing the artist or not posted it without context and some of their fans who are anti-trans took it as such and congratulated them, and that’s scary in a country where the government is stripping protections left and right and trans people are getting killed at disproportional rates, so I do think it’s irresponsible to publish something that can be read as trans people are liars.
They greenlighted that alt right show years ago; I'm not surprised by this

It's been up for a whole day and a half. They know what they've done at this point
So they are trying to milk the alt right for money now or something? Wtf are they thinking?
I wouldn't be surprised if many of the creators and staff miss the days where they could slip in casual rape or gay jokes into their work without consequences
Yup even if the artist is not personally alt right it's only enabling alt right viewpoints.

What the fuck.I came into this thread thinking there may be a possibility of the tweet in question being up to different interpretations, but that's pretty fucking blatant.edit: so looking through some more of this, he may just be an artist with pretty vague messaging and the repeated use of a character that is unintentionally a fitting distillation of potential transphobic imagery? Huh.
The reactions to the cartoon seem like something that the artist would make a cartoon about.
That dude draws a character outside of gender norms and those fucking nutters have no idea how to deal with it. What the fuck?
completely forgot about pop-gaf. who could've guessed that their ability to ruin any thread they choose with their terminally boring shrieking and gif spam while remaining a 100% protected class was to be the model of the internet going forward.

What conditions/injuries do you have?
I don’t mind being honest when I have the following:- Bi Polar- bad memory problems (I have forgotten my birthday a few times and I don’t retain things very well unless it’s something I find super interesting)- I forgot what it was but it’s heart related- Supposed Lupus- Chronic legs/lower back pain (have to use a cane to walk most of the time, can’t really run anymore)- Nightmares (used to have a lot of them where I get electrocuted) - Tinnitus (I hear this ringing sound constantly) - Suicidal thoughts (just thoughts, no actions).
Generalized anxiety disorderPersistent depressive disorderPanic disorderSo I'm pretty much always trapped in a state somewhere between crushing sadness and paralyzing fear.Not a "diagnosis" but I live with pretty much constant passive suicidal ideation and my coping mechanisms aren't healthyFun. Fun life I've got here.

Tinnitus does suck pretty bad though. I wish i didn't have it and feel guilty when listening to loud music now

Heart failure. The loss of vision is tied to this.

If someone asks me my pronouns:I’ll pause briefly to consider the people in the roomI'll likely tell them my pronouns as they've shown to care and feels like an inclusive spaceIf the solution is to always guess based on what it looks like you're assigned at birth then:I will always be misgendered everywhere unless I put myself out there. In doing so..I need to consider you and whether I think you will a) understand transgender identities and b) respect themBe prepared to be mocked and face ridicule and either a) lighten up and appreciate the ‘banter’ or b) stand up for myself and thus be seen to sour the situation.Find an appropriate avenue to try and tell them, without it edging into the "you're not special" territory (and trusting they won't go there anyway)Consider the fact that even if they react well that behind closed doors this might spread in an unsavoury mannerSo someone asking pronouns is nice as it suggests both an awareness and an acceptance of trans identities. It doesn’t remove all of the doubt but it’s an olive branch toward me showing some degree of understanding.That isn’t to say the solution is to ask everyone their pronouns all of the time. I don’t know the solution. I just know the attitude of ‘if I misgender you then that’s your problem and it’s on you to correct me’ seems to treat me stating my pronouns unprompted and someone asking them as a 1:1 equal and easy experience, when it isn’t.

What is meant by non-binary?Put simply, non-binary people don't fit into the binary choice of “Male or Female”. A non-binary person could be someone who has never identified enough with the default gender descriptions to fit in neatly to either category, it could be someone who feels as if they flit between the two, or it could even be a person who simply denies the idea that gender can be so easily and neatly separated into two categories.

Writer Peter Coffin, for instance—a bearded father of two who is married to a feminine-presenting woman—came out earlier this year as “agender,” a subsidiary of the nonbinary identity. Why? Because, in his own words, he “disliked [his] place in the gender dynamic.” So, instead of working to dismantle a hierarchy that places men at the top and women at the bottom, he simply stopped identifying as a man, while, of course, still receiving all the privileges of people who look like them. I suppose that’s one way to deal with structural sexism.
Last year, Peter Coffin, a bearded, male-presenting feminist, came out publicly as nonbinary because “I am physically happy with myself but severely dislike my place in the gender dynamic.” In fact, Coffin wrote, “it just felt like the dynamic didn’t apply to me.”

I mean, is it wrong to have a game that is made to appeal to straight men?
Zero, but it paints a pretty shit image of straight men.Like of zero empathy where women are not human beings to be loved, but tits and asses to be masturbated to. It also paints the picture that your dick is not one of the ALL MASCULINE FEATURES (which is pretty trans inclusive) that were enhanced.It paints an even more incel picture than the newer joker movie ever could since it shows zero relationships or sex in itself, but yeah feel free to call it "for straight men"
