we consider dysphoria-relieving thingz like roleplaying as dead online / referring to oneself as dead as safe transitioning for ppl w/ harmful dysphoria, which is why we still add those disclaimers & assume others add those :P
referring 2 oneself / acting in a certain way is often timez transitioning for ppl w/ atypical dysphoria in the same way someone w/ gender dysphoria would b "socially transitioning" 4 lack of a better example . nd since some ppl arent in safe households 2 wear stuff like nail polish it can still b considered unsafe transition imo .... unsafe transition isnt jst abt personal harm it alzo includez outward harm from otherz
my biggest issue right now with trans//id alternative coiners is how little care they seem to put into their terms?
like for all of them its just the usual "anti transitioning if unsafe" or "ok to transition if safe" but they never really put in the thought of or explain HOW it can be done safely or unsafely
I get its because theres this idea of quantity over quality in the mogai community, and with a lot of members disabled it can be draining to edit every single term to be personalized or even think about that stuff, but the way they dont elaborate on this stuff still feels like its more of just a saying than something theyre serious or genuine about, even if I know thats not necessarily the case. you cant truly safely 'transition' to idk dissodeath or desirpermasleep or whatever, saying 'ok to transition to if safe' is so redundant.
dysphoria relief and transitioning are different things in this case. you cant safely transition to being dead but you can safely relieve dysphoria by getting tattoos, drawing on your skin, using dead/undead terminology etc. theyre not the same thing. so people putting "ok to transition if safe" on things like that feels really ignorant if anything.
there is also the other side of the spectrum like desirblacknails saying "ok to transition to if safe". how would you transition to black nails in an unsafe way??? besides like idk using non-body safe permanent markers, and how much harm can that really do especially if short term yk?
(note, the only thing here I know exists is dissodeath, I dont mean to shame, call out or guilt trip anyone, Im just voicing a general complaint Ive been observing go around since terms like these started to pop up around last year)
#srry i think thiz discourse is a little redundant /nbr#🎀#majority of trans//id alternativez r made by disabled ppl so we dn't have the energy 2 elaborate like diz stuff man#llike i said not trying 2 be rude#discourse
