I think part of the issue is there’s a lot of misinformation. Someone told me today that they heard about someone claiming their baby was transgender. I highly highly doubt that happened. Transgender advocates believe people should say for themselves what gender they identify with, no sane person would presume to speak for a baby. I could see someone maybe trying to avoid thinking of their baby as one gender or the other until they’re old enough to self-identify. But there are a lot of weird stories out there about transgender people acting like lunatics and, although most of them probably aren’t true, people believe these stories and use them as reasons to be transphobic. And there’s the persistent lie that transgender people are lopping penises off of six-year-olds and other things like that.
Personally I think treating babies as babies is the sane option, it’s bizarre to me we dress literal babies in extremely gender identifying ways… they’re a baby! Me choosing greens and yellows, purples and grays isn’t saying my baby is trans it’s saying my baby is a baby and if you want to know more about them you should talk to me about them… it’s really not complicated.
The hyper fixation on gender for babies and kids is bonkers
Well look how that ended for them D&D is huge, BG3 and fantasy adjacent media is beloved, paganism and the like are growing, and gender roles are melting.
You can literally say that about anything but specifically acting like people died so we can play d&d is a fucking laugh. C’mon.
Democracy, wages, freedom of speech, weekends, anything and everything in history people have died for lead up to this. I don’t take your comment seriously at all.
the Internet is flourishing with femboys and fursonas
once the moral panic around trans people fade (hopefully I’ll be alive to see it), what will be left behind in peace will hopefully be a bunch of institutions that were able to thrive on that pride despite all the pushback

Ok, so can we put an end to labelling people as ‘eggs’ without their input?
Age is the only difference between the two. And yet, one seems to get a free pass in the community.
So interesting, I was literally just talking about this last night with some friends.

It’s the satanic panic all over again, once again being pushed by Christian extremists.

You do understand how many people were burned alive so you get to dick around with your friends in D&D - right? It hasn’t exactly been seamless.

Yeah it’s because you’ve never been at risk of being thrown in a fucking fire for saying anything remotely ‘not Christian’.
How do you know my life at all
Seriously?
Are you seriously sitting here, right now, telling me that someone has threatened to burn you alive for being wiccan or LGBTQ+?
Edit: yeah I didn’t fucking think so
On second thought, fuck you twice you little twerp.
Your comment is literally the most pathetic thing ever said on the Internet. Absolutely get fucked right in the lungs you dickbag
I’m literally queer. Fuck you asshole.
Don’t forget the heavy metal, which was also a target and now more popular than ever
But yeah fuck those assholes. Real patriots believe all their countryfolk have the right to live as they choose.
