Guy with a nuralink cut me off in traffic, so I took out my flipper zero and made him gender dysphoric.

this shit ain't nothing to me man

Threw the opp into the particle collider,

watched his ass get pulled apart into a million pieces

Turned his sorry ass into some data

I love/hate that it sounds totally plausible that brain implants will be vulnerable to flipper zero attacks.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

It's a near certainty, if you want your brain implant to be able to communicate with any device outside your skull. If it has Bluetooth or NFC then that's a vulnerability vector.

I cast Body Dysmorphia as a cantrip! Roll to save!

[–] [email protected] 37 points 4 days ago (1 children)

That's definitely at least a 2nd rank spell.

You're a short motherfucker and nobody likes you!

flute noises BITCH!

Everybody says, "Look how fucking short that guys is."

And that stops you from forming meaningful relationships.

When you were born everybody thought that you were just a head

But then the doctor said, "WAIT!

This stupid, motherfucking, tiny, short-ass baby Got a tiny, little, itty-bitty body

And I hate it!"

LOOT THAT BODY

Oddly appropriate lyrics in this context omfg

[–] [email protected] 50 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (4 children)

This feels like a whole mixed bag of a message, IMHO. Hey learn empathy, but also witches ~~make folks trans~~cast body dysmorphia. Maybe I'm missing it.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Witches do all sorts of things for curses, that doesn't necessarily mean that the conditions don't exist outside of witch curses. I don't think many people would disagree that being trans sucks, though, they just disagree about what it actually is and what to do about it.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago (4 children)

i disagree, being trans is great

[–] [email protected] 26 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (3 children)

How many trans people would choose to be trans, instead of being assigned the gender they're transitioning to at birth? Obviously that doesn't really work vor enbies, but AFAIK enbies are a minority among trans people.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago

i would not be who i am without my life experiences transitioning. asking me to imagine being born differently is asking me to imagine being another person. no, i would rather be myself.

there are many, many enbies. while the amount is probably below 50%, they are trans too and their experiences should not be sidelined.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Heck, that would have worked for this enby, but after two years of hormome therapy the dysphoria isn't as bad as the social anxiety from living in this nightmare country.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Me. Before I transitioned, and in my early days of transition, sure, I'd have made that choice if it were available to me. But now, years in? Fuck no. I don't want to be cis.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Yo! For which post/comment did you ban me from blahaj instance? And without any communication?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Being trans sucks, like being left-handed in a world for right-handed people does.

There is nothing inherently wrong with it, the problem is all the people trying to police your body.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (3 children)

IMO, being trans would be bad even if other people were all supportive. Transitioning is a lot of effort and no one ever wants to have dysphoria.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

This was the turning point where I started actively defending gays about two decades ago. Before then I didn't really care I was younger and it wasn't really in my life.

But if you're going to tell me that some middle/high schooler is going to choose bullying by assholes by announcing (or someone finding out) that they're gay there's no fucking way you're going to tell me that's by choice. Leave the damn kid alone.

Of course there's more details than that but that's the gist of it. It's hard enough as it is leave them alone, it's none of your business.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

you are acting like being trans is some kind of disability or flaw, when it is not. consider if you said “all people blind at birth would rather be born with sight.” that is certainly not true, as for many it’s a key facet of their being despite making life more difficult.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Sure but if you need to take a bunch of medicine and do surgeries you that’s not a net positive, medicalizing your body has serious repercussions involving post op care, up keep, it’s expensive and your body is no longer autonomous, it’s reliant on the pharmaceutical industry or shady DIY “treatments”

I am physically disabled from birth I’ve had to take handfuls of meds daily and had to have extreme surgery… I don’t know any disabled person who would choose to be disabled

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

If everyone was supportive, I think it would be fine. It'd be seen like needing glasses. We just need this relatively easy medical care and it's far less effort if intervention is done before puberty.

Transitioning socially would be less of an issue too since it'd be seen as just something that happens sometimes and has been normalized.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Counterpoint: I need glasses and it kinda sucks. If I could just choose to be born with perfect eyesight, I would. And bad eyesight is generally much easier to diagnose and the treatment (either a prosthesis, i.e. glasses/contact lenses, or just getting lasik) is much faster than gender transitioning.

So you rather not be born the sex that you identify as?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Not who you're asking, but I wouldn't have wanted to be born cis

[–] [email protected] 23 points 4 days ago

The witch turned the creep into a woman and the spell was complete by the time she flew away. Unfortunately, like many women, the creep was born with the body of a man (she’s AMAB). Maybe the witch could have changed her body, too, but that would have made things far too easy, given that the point of the curse was to teach her empathy.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 days ago

One witch made one man trans. It doesn't mean that the mission of all witches is to give out gender dysphoria, nor does it mean that trans people are trans because a witch did it. Life assigns these sorts of things apparently at random anyway.

I mean, a true sceptic could imagine that the witch in this comic had no magical power at all, but her words filtered down through the man's psyche to where he has always been struggling with his identity, and they gave him the excuse to face it.

[–] diffaldo 10 points 4 days ago

I think it pokes against a popular idea of transforming into opposing sex. So many men imply that they would be transformed into a hot attractive woman. Not an unattractive one.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago

i hate this

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 days ago

My first thoughts went to a hyper-fixation on weight and presentation/musculature/grooming. All the negatives of being/wanting-to-be a woman today, with none of the perks, and potentially no resolution.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago

That moon hair is hilarious in the second last panel.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 days ago

magic isn't real* that egg was already cracking

*except for flying on brooms

[–] [email protected] -2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

So, really nothing changes

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You're downvoted, but as far as the behavior of the cursee is concerned, nope. She's still the same jerk she was before, just with a different gender. It isn't said whether or not her sexuality was changed as well.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

What I trying to express is: men also have self perception body related issues and often, that's the root of insecurities towards women.
