@sklaing I take it from the context but "clocked you" you meant picked up that you were trans but I must confess a gut reaction of "well I'd fucking home the wanker didnt" since "clocking" someone here usually means knocking them out.
-
@sklaing Before my extremely pained and tired mind forgets, I have an organization to contact for you to get information I'm going to poke to see if they can help with someone overseas that hasn't entered yet, but I'll do that tomorrow or at the very least when I'm not ready to pass out from a combination of pain and exhaustion.

@sklaing The place that is in the social assistance center I go to for physio stuff is evidently for new immigrants that are just settling, so useful if you did get over here and in this local area but not so much for the process of actually getting here. They gave me the contact information of another group whom they said may be able to help but I'll give them a p…

@sklaing Humour like that is often a (not great) coping mechanism for personal insecurities, so I kind of pity those kinds of people more than get angry at them, personally, but its also a little easier for me to do so I will readily admit, since I'm not in those shoes, so to speak.

@nerthos That's not gender then, that's biological sex.
-
@nerthos To medicine, yes they are, very much so. I don't really care about other contexts when it comes to that discussion.

@nerthos "Well I feel you should respect my demigender asexual tumblrkin identity" "...well I think you're being difficult and obnoxious for the point of getting attention, but that's neither here nor there is it?" What matters when it comes to medical treatment is the plumbing when it comes to physical treatment (biological sex) and the self-image when it comes to …

@sklaing So much of the social problems of today comes from a place of negative coping mechanisms instead of compassionate ones, I think.
-
@nerthos For some people such as myself, you can have medical or hormone treatments to correct things so that the gender identity is in line with the original biological sex, and this is, of course, naturally preferable (at least in my opinion, I know many people would argue this, but I'm speaking with the psychologist hat on). However, this is not always possible, …

@sklaing @chiofjulia Lamentable is the natural tendancy of both people in general and the media to pick out some really bad actors as representatives of different communities - the trans community included. It endears no one to people if all they hear are stories of the bad stuff, the "fear uncertainty and doubt" approach, and the media does have a lot of culpabili…

@nerthos Yes and we're not in disagreement here! Indeed, most of the transpeople I know who transitioned as a result of an actual diagnosed medical condition resent the people whom do so just to be popular - "transtrenders" they get called as a slur - because they foster negative relations with their communities around them, which helps no one.
-
@nerthos Gee it's almost like this is what I have a university degree for and did as a job professionally for a long time or something. I resent the "tumblr psychology" community because they have NO idea what they're talking about most of the time. In the same way the "degenerates" as you termed them promote bad sexual practices, so to does the "tumblr psycholog…

@nerthos Well, its a result of the progressive push for "trans acceptance" being actually a push for special rights, in this case, I'd say. When you give a certain social group special privileges others do not have, it is a matter of course that people are going to go "me too!"
-
@nerthos I saw the same thing firsthand when I was campaigning for gay rights as a younger lass. You had the people who wanted just the ability to have the relationships we desired and be able to marry, and then the people who wanted 'gay' to be a special status and confer privileges. Nowadays the LGB lobby is mostly just the latter, because well, in all but some …
