Well, a lot of people who don’t have good reading comprehension tend to be neurodivergent people, especially autistic folk like myself. I tend to approach things with a benefit of the doubt attitude but I’m more or less “high functioning” and some people have an even harder time understanding social cues via text. I use /s just out of mindfullness of folk who struggle with those kinds of thing.

Okay, that got a snort from me.

Surgery was not done on me as a minor. I was put on HRT as a minor. I could not, LEGALLY, get any kind of surgery before I was an adult.

I am transgender. Have been my whole life, but I realized it at 12. Socially transitioned at 14, physically transitioned at 16 (because you can’t physically transition before then because doctors, shockingly 😲, fuckin’ know what they’re doing). The things I struggled with, mentally, before i began to transition at all, caused me to make attempts on my own life. Lots of teens succeed, because people won’t allow them fucking find peace in their own bodies. Teens. Children. Killing themselves. Because of stupid rehtorics like the one you’ve just spouted. Fuck off with that same old bullshit paranoia and fear mongering.

It’s the vodka and the siberian winters, I imagine

Honestly I just jumped to Lemmy after dndmemes sent me this way and it feels like I’m delving into early internet forums back in the day, fresh and new and full of excitement for the future
