hii i didn't know where to post this but I figured your blog could be good since a lot of ppl who are questioning their gender will check it out bc of our uquiz

There's this one uquiz called "are you transgender (afab only)" by 033950 that's made by a terf and even though in retrospect the questions & answers on it get suspicious early on, it still felt awful, the result is super shitty & hurtful (there's only 1) telling the quiz taker to "accept reality" & a dumb speech. So yeah, anyone afab who's questioning and doing uquizs for fun ignore that one... Take care

jeeeesus christ i just went and took it myself and yeah those questions/answers are. so fucking manipulative, ESPECIALLY with only one answer. theres a reason none of the answers in my quiz are definitive like that and it's because. like. im aware that i wrote mine based on my own feelings and experiences and that i dont actually know yall taking it and therefore Cant Give A 100% Solid Answer, and "no youre dumb and just imagining it" is, imo, a terrible response no matter what. even if you are imagining it, even if it is a phase, that does not at all mean that those feelings are invaluable or invalid, which is exactly what that quiz does. and i mean i know that's the whole point of it, but like. holy fuck did they swing for the fences. thank you for putting the psa out, i hope no one gets too turned around by it and im sorry you were hurt in stumbling across it:(

#trans #queer #origibberish #gibberasks #uquibberish #it is fascinating to assess objectively though like. im gonna go out on a limb here and say the op uhhhhhhhhh #has some realizations down the line‚ lets put it that way #like. that whole speech is in theory directed at the quiz taker but. it sure reads like someone talking themselves out of smth #wheres that post about how like half of terfs are terfs because theyre trans and cant accept it and other terfs gave them an #explanation that could put a bandaid over it for a while #which in turn explains why theyre so aggressive about reinforcing those beliefs - its the only thing keeping them safe #its scary to be trans. its hard to be trans. and someone knee deep in the most vitriolic corners of the internet will know #that better maybe even than many openly trans people ever will #and 'you hate being a girl because being a girl sucks and we all hate it' is a lot easier to accept than 'you hate being #a girl because you arent one'#one of those options takes acceptance and money and time and fear and work and effort and risk #and one takes bottling up your feelings and slapping an internalized misogyny label on em #oh or wait the post thats like 'do you really have (fetish) or do you just (thing that reveals more about op than anything else)'#like ofc disclaimer i dont know that person so this is just speculation but. i mean. lol
