#theyre just transgender i promise

[methcheese]

no see guys the reason sam cant find anything on them is because theyre both trans and celia doesnt know their deadnames

[klobexia]

intersex activism is fucked for sure. i would be happy if things weren't so tainted by black-or-white thinking and transphobic separatism but i just don't think its going to happen. it seems like the wider intersex community is so preoccupied with wanting to be seen as separate from transness and unimpacted by transphobia that we are utterly failing to address the root of modern day intersexism, which is a fear of gender autonomy and nonconformity-- very literally motivated by transphobic bioessentialism, a reaction to the idea that there are people whose bodies contradict bioessentialism and therefore reinforce the argument in favor of gender autonomy and transness.

[superpussyking]

I keep reading trans discourse posts where the solution for both sides is to go outside and interact with trans people in a casual setting. I promise it's not that severe

[w1f1n1ghtm4r3]

kyushumi and change

okay uh. not sure about the coherency of this post but i will try my best. this is just me being like "oops i picked butterfly imagery for my kyushumi age up redesigns to match their vs and to lean into the fae theme a bit more but it also fits their stories incredibly well"

but first i need to actually show those redesigns because i never did. because i was saving them until i did the rest of the units and then i never got there. oops. look at my butterflies now

the general idea was giving them a more cohesive theme with their outfits (a more elegant style plus butterflies) while having a distinct set of colors fitting to each of them. instead of their original outfits which have a more unified color scheme but mismatched themes. i think it makes sense for their story overall, since early on they kind of cling to each other because theres nowhere else for them to go but now they stick together because theyre genuinely close friends. does that make sense? i dont know.

ANYWAY

the butterfly imagery. and change (and fear) as a theme with kyushumi as a whole.

even though theres like a really obvious reasoning for a butterfly being extremely thematic for mizuki (transgender moment) thats actually NOT the important reason with kyushumi. because its kind of an open secret among them. no one pushes them about it but like when nene also goes to the same school its hard for her to not hear about it yknow. nene cares more about her friends than what people say about her friends.

really i think where its interesting is like. how each of them have a major change in approach to something during the story. something theyre afraid of but eventually overcome. does that make sense i hope that makes sense

nene and honami both are some sort of fear of perception by others. both are basically the same as canon (nene being afraid of failing in front of others so she stops trying and honami being afraid of being an outcast if she stops trying to please everyone) and the end outcomes are roughly the same. honami stands up for herself, stops being so afraid of what everyone else might think, etc. not that she doesnt care about her perception by others of course but she starts to be able to overcome the pressure to do what she wants to.

nene isnt as drastic as canon, tbh, but she does regain her confidence to sing again. i think kyushumi becomes an online vocaloid music group and nene, having had notable experience with singing before, ends up as the one mainly behind working with the vocaloids. but in that whole process she gradually starts singing again to first help get a feel for how the song should work and eventually because at heart she still loves doing it. she starts posting her singing online since its less committal (she could just delete the videos if things go badly) but it also helps break down the fear of how people perceive her skills again. maybe not enough to get her back on stage, but enough that she starts to believe in her potential again.

mizukis is mostly about being open........... running away and hiding whenever things go wrong but gradually getting less flighty and more honest about their feelings......... also the fear of connection getting broken because mizunene 👍 two years ago me was cooking with this

promising that theyll stick together because what theyve developed together is more important than what other people might threaten their bond with. yeah. i love kyushumi mizunene so much guys (i made their dynamic this way myself)

minoris is least about fear and most about change in the way of changing directions with her goals......... she never stops chasing that idol dream but also opens herself up to new paths. making music with kyushumi so she has more to show for what shes capable of and also having a new direction to pour her passion into when things dont go her way.

does any of this make any sense. who knows. it makes sense in my head. i love my butterflies regardless and i hope you guys all like them too

[ribbuster]

hi i’m furious and terrified rn so i’m gonna rant 🤗 being educated on politics right now is so incredibly exhausting 💀 i don’t understand how voters have so many red flags against trump, and yet he still gets votes. america doesnt let felons vote, but theyre allowed to be in office? a sexual predator, no less. trump says so much disgusting and pathetic things about women, and he still is seen as a good man. i am a gay transgender man, and im so severely sick to my stomach thinking about what he could do to my future. i genuinely refuse to come out to anyone else before he’s out of office.

if you give a shit about religion, then lets talk about it. he has said TWICE that his power and overall existence is that of christ, along with having a trump bible. isnt that blasphemous? does the religious view of the person holding your rights really matter when so much is on the line here?

as for prices and our economy, do your research. trumps first term was under obamas economy, which is why it succeeded. bidens term was under trumps economy, which is why it failed. i understand immediately going to what the economy was at the time of the presidency, but that really is not how this works. trump tax is very real and very scary. kamala has promised the decrease of tax for the middle and low class and a tax increase for the upper class, while trump believes the opposite. hes wanting the upper class to pay less and the lower classes to pay more. you would know that if the economy was that important to you to the point where you do your research.

worried about immigration under harris? WRONG!!! harris promises an america in which immigrants are allowed in, all while keeping things level and keeping groups like the cartel out. immigration was so messy under trump because there was so many holes in his plans for it. we as americans need to recognize immigrants, all while making their native homes liveable. immigration effects both parties in many ways, so minimizing it to where the natives are happy with their birth place and dont have to come to america as a last resort should be our prime effort.

“what if its her time of the month?” harris is 60 years old, therefore, she does not get periods anymore. menopause usually starts between the ages of 45 and 55. assuming a woman of 60 years of age is still getting periods is just straight ignorance.

the only views against harris ive seen have all been faulty and rooted in racism and sexism. kamala harris is everything donald trump pretends he is: a friend to everyone, an educated leader, and a gentle hand to those who need it. before you decide to vote next time, do your research. you could be voting for the downfall of our home.

Judas is the most scrungly to ever scrangle. He can fit so many crimes against humanity in him. He drives like a maniac, fights like an animal, and is a loving dad of three kids he stole from a lab. Judas craves a place in the world and that world is madness where it's combat 24/7. If he doesn't win, he will cry, I promise you that.

5 foot tall grunt with more purple on him than a lean grape. He's actually albino but is just that fucking dusty.

SILLY little boygirl!!! he's caught in a custody battle between an angel named opal who is sooo transgender without TECHNICALLY being transgender and a reaper named lily who keeps flirting with her and opal. before this mess started he had literally one (1) friend and now she's got three and two of them just kinda invaded his life one day. and his home. it's a while before they start living somewhere else.

“my pretty roommates (eldritch beings with no concept of gender) are having an enemies to lovers fanfiction moment right next to me but i (demiromantic) am safe from this” -ada (he is wrong lol. gayass <3)"

she has short, sage-green hair with two longer bits at the front, octagonal glasses with white stained glass lenses with greenish stripes in them. she cannot see Shit. he mainly dresses in neutrals and green. florence (her friend) makes fun of him for the color choices but like. as if theyre doing any better. do they know anything but purple and pink exists? sources (ada) say probably not. sometimes he'll wear skirts. he never wears long sleeves unless it is like. waaay below freezing and someone forces him.

[losergendered]

hiii prbbly a weird question do you have any media suggestions? especially songs, bands, comics, shows and the like ... asking you bc i like your tastes lawlsies :]

oh my god ANON… i love you… putting this under the cut cause i have a Tonnn and a lot of em need content warnings LOLL

- Inside Mari (manga): a popular high school girl and an asocial hikkikomori swap bodies! …or do they. a bodyswap manga with a horrorfic emotional twist. its really visceral and transgender. cws for sexual content, unreality/dissociation and child abuse

- Erased (manga/anime): a disillusioned mangaka has a supernatural ability that involuntarily sends him back in time in order to prevent tragedies. when tragedy strikes close to him, hes sent back to investigate a series of murders that happened when he was in 5th grade. cws for mentions of pedophilia, child abuse and child death in both versions, but the manga has more explicit sexual assault and suicide

- The Lost Boys (movie): two brothers and their mother move to a beach town that is super infested with 80s biker vampires. no(?) cws really? i mean its kind of a horror movie by virtue of vampires but its not like super violent or anything. its kinda just campy

- Bang Bang You’re Dead (movie): following a student making a false bomb threat, a theater teacher decides to cast him in a play about a school shooting, much to the disdain of the rest of the community. its basically about a kid escaping the mentality of violence through theater and it made me cry. cws for an (attempted) school shooting, uh, you know. that kinda shit. but this one has a happy ending actually i promise

- Les Demoiselles de Rochefort (movie): BARELY a plot. its like a bunch of 1960s french people falling in love surrounding a music festival? its mostly just pretty looking. its also a musical. no cws! that i can remember at least

- Beryl and Sapphire (donghua): a series of alternate universe vignettes of the characters beryl and sapphire! sometimes theyre boys, sometimes theyre girls, sometimes theyre rivals, but theyre mostly in love with each other :) some of the episodes are angsty/have death but its mostly lighthearted!

- HOPEUROKAY (music): a duo of two trans people makin cool electronic music! electropop i guess?? digicore?? genres are fake but their music fucks. and they have like 500 monthly listeners. fave songs: ghostinthecorner, day 400, insight, pink ps2

- Gezebelle Gaburgably (music): do you LOVE electronic incelcore? do you wish that it was made by a woman so you felt less bad for liking it? boy do i have the gal for you. fave songs: quarter pounder, death by dodgeball, heads up, sanrio girl

- Fairy Idol Kanon (manga): a kids manga about three girls on their journey to become idols with the help of a fairy princess! meanwhile, they must also use the power of song to save the fairy realm from the dark faires!

- What Happens Next (webcomic): a trans guy who was an accessory to murder as a teenager has to navigate the rest of his life. follows both him and the other affected parties, through the lens of modern day internet culture. cws for WHOOH BOY. (child) death, gore, trauma, transphobia, abuse, ableism, self harm. like everything basically. but the comic also provides cws itself

- SoraMafuUraSaka (music): a four person utaite group made of soraru, mafumafu, uratanuki, and tonari no sakata! they make yearly videogame themed songs together, as well as each being just like. independent artists in their own right. if you've seen the rpg animation meme, that songs by them! my personal fave of theirs is noryoku hikitsugi de otome game no sekai ni tenseishitaken ni tsuite, though i also like their most recent one (jinsei muri game)!

indiv song recs now!

- Tonari no JK (The Highschool Girl Next to Me) by Konori feat. GUMI: ok yeah the lyrics might be a little questionable but it SLAPS.... konori's metal vocals combined with gumi's melody combined with the cheery backing music... its just perfect. and "watashi wa watashi, ne! "ne"?! JANEE YOOOOOO" is like the best part of any song ever

- A Favor House Atlantic by Coheed and Cambria: so this is off of a concept album, apparently, which i haven't actually fully listened to, so i dunno what this song's actually about, but it IS really good. it's got that high-pitched male pop punk vocals (esp on the line "good eye sniper") and it reminds me of vrisrezi like a lot

- Chuis Bo! by PZK: do you like early 2010s french dance pop. would you like to. Les Filles Adorent and Ce Matin Va Etre une Pure Soiree are also bangers

- My Magical Romance by Sophie's Magic Diary: Sophie's Magic Diary is actually a really cool series of animated shorts about a girl with a crush and her puppy fairy familiar thing who tries to help her woo him. hilarity ensues. my magical romance is an original song made by the artist to accompany the story! its a banger

- Tamara is a Punk by The Queers: a punk jam about having unrequired feelings for a girl named tamara! got into this song cause my mutual made ocs based off of it.

ok that was LONG. but im an enthusiast. feel free to ask for more random recs this ask lowkey made my day sjgfbh <3

[no-more-rqs]

hello, Riptide! I am genuinely interested in hearing your perspective on how transharmful in the way that I have seen many beings using it, including myself, is necessarily bad. of course, you are free to ignore this, I simply enjoy hearing other perspectives

* the way I often see it used is as a rebellion of sorts. "I have been hurt in the past, and wish to hurt others so they know my pain, but know better" and so use things such as consensual scenarios to do so safely.

or, an introject who was harmful in their source, knows better now, but still has the desire to be harmful, and so, as stated above, finds safe ways to get that dealt with. this one applies to me, as I was deeply harmful in my source.

once again, I am purely looking to hear your thoughts, and not expecting any sort of reply. being civil would be appreciated, but you seem fond of coming off aggressively, and I have no reason to stop you from doing so if that is what you wish to do.

thank you for taking the time to read this if you did ^-^

- roger🧸🧵

just wanna say that i dont act aggressive unless others act aggressive towards me first, or if theyre genuinely awful people (like pro-cs). if youre just genuinely trying to have a conversation im not gonna yell at you or anything i promise

in my opinion, a lot of the reasonings people have behind being transharmful arent bad, its just the label itself thats wrong and the reasons certain people have thats also wrong.

even though, yes, "trans" does not mean "transition", it translates directly to "across" or "on the other side" which does mean something very similar to transitioning. it is also using the same prefix as terms like transgender, and is heavily associated with the term in radqueer communities, and transitioning is a big part of being trans for a lot of people. obviously, the majority of people who use transharmful terms arent transitioning (i dont count "consensual abuse" stuff as transitioning, thats just kink/fantasy/roleplay and as long as its done safely thats fine). however, using the prefix "trans" implies that transitioning is more opt-out than opt-in, and the prefix supports and encourages transitioning whether the people using the term do or not, if that makes sense

as for my second point, there are people who call themselves transharmful and do genuinely transition into nazis or abusers or groomers. im not talking about consensual things, im talking about transnazi people who become nazis to "transition" and people like that. which, yes, that is a real thing that happens, ive seen people genuinely like that. there arent very many people like that (ive honestly only seen three or four) but it is a thing that people do and the fact that transharmful people use the prefix of "trans" encourages that due to its definition and connotations

i have no problems with people who have desires or urges to do harmful things and practice that in a safe and consensual environment. i do the same thing, so itd be very hypocritical of me if i didnt support that. however, the main problem is the term itself and the problems using the "trans" prefix causes when transitioning would be 100% objectively harmful

[wack-ashimself]

I almost promise to be banned on fedbook. So posting on here...

(no joke the number one thing that's got me banned is talking shit about straight white men. I'm not exaggerating.)

I will never understand why there's so many people against drag queens and trans. They don't care about you. They don't affect you. So why the fuck do you care? And don't give me theyre groomers bullshit. Because I never even heard of that term until the past like 10 years. And guess who I first heard it about? Famous Rich old white guys raising kids like they are their friends, then marrying them once they're legal. Or did everybody forget about fucking Woody allen? He literally set the standard. And he wore male clothes, claimed to be a male, and fucked his own stepdaughter. And there's more people like him in positions of power than you'll ever want to admit. And if we're just going to go by the numbers, please keep a tally. Keep a number. Keep a detailed list of the names. Then compare straight white cis males to transgender and drag queens, and see who's really fucking with the kids more. Priorities: yours are FUCKED.

[isaacathom]

more ds9 time bc heat make brain jelly. s2e7

fascinating that dax is down her playing dabo with quark. tongo. whatever.

ah. ferengi misogyny. i do enjoy that dax is very... unthreatened? shes basically just using it as an opportunity for banter. thats kinda fun.

ah, plot. lets go baby.

i feel like every time the nagus shows up im going to have to re-remember hes the one guy from the princess bride. in my defence have not SEEN that movie still but by reputation i am aware of the man.

okay so i have, for lack of word, clocked that that specific ferengi is being played by a female actress, so thats. hm. whats going on here. ah i see thats a plot point, i promise i noticed that before the scene where she returned to her room.

okay so dax genuinely is just like 'yea theyre shitheads but theyre funny' incredible? incredible.

we love a lady knight scenario, dont we folks. love a good ol' fashioned uhhhhhh alanna situation. yknow i always use alanna as my go to reference for a 'woman pretends to be a man' fiction and ive literally never read it or known anyone who has. niche, i guess.

so this is all the start of the ongoing ferengi women plotline, iirc. i know quarks mother (mothers?) shows up in later plots about ferengi politics, but i didnt realise we were gonna jump in with it. neat!

is dax's job now just advising other women on their romantic situations. its what she was doing in melora. like thats two eps in a row her primary role seems to be 'provide advice to a woman in love' whats the go.

i dont like the nagus but at least in universe i think thats the position of the majority of the people around him

make! out! like i dont really give a shit but like just go for it folks

thank you for your contribution to the plot, mr odo sir, very excellent work inciting a crime

now my thing is i dont actually like 'pretends to be a man' plots bc, yknow, ~transgender~, its a vibes based situation. anyway i skipped the scene but ive got the transcript, ive got the gist. im good. it seems fun. that said the way quark physically reacted to being kissed, and how hes reacting in every dialogue line afterwards, is uh. very dramatic? not sure where this is gonna go bc the signs point to Poorly for the both of them

but also "dont you want to know why i kissed you?" is the sort of shit i would say if i was trying to come out worse than i actually had. like "dont you want to know why i started shortening my name" level shit.

oh that was an excellent in the background there

this romance is doing Nothing for me lads

that said like, quark is still quite compelling as part of it. and the fact he defends Pel is sweet. but i also find it so difficult to take ferengi drama seriously because like, the nagus is RIGHT THERE, and he's a pure comic character. its pure comic. and that just sorta sucks drama out of it for me. whereas i think quark has the right balance of comedic greed and genuine pathos that he can carry dramatic story lines. pel isnt quiiite working for me in that respect but i already flagged my lack of interest in this specific kind of plotline earlier so its not her fault.

dax just vibing in the background of most of this episode was kinda fun though. i do like that.

okay so my verdict - ? two romance episodes back to back kinda sucks for me since i didnt really feel invested in either romance as a thing in itself, though maybe part of that is the foreknowledge that neither go anywhere, right. as an episode on its own i think its alright, but will probably be better as part of the overarching Ferengi plotlines later, i guess? idk. its not quite my thing. i did enjoy dax here though so she's starting to win me over after a rocky start

[trohpi]

i apologize in advance for the length of this reply lmao. anyways, warnings for transphobia and child abuse!!

ok so draco realizes hes a boy when hes nine, and the first thing he does is tell his parents what hes feeling. remember: he is only nine and hes very sheltered. he doesnt know trans people exist, nor does he know that being trans is considered a bad thing by many people. he just remembers that his parents (particularly his father) wished for a son not a daughter, and he thinks that maybe theyll be happy that they could finally have the son theyve always wanted.

anyways he sits his parents down to tell them and lets just say it doesnt go over very well with lucius. he hurts draco, calls him all sorts of names, and draco cries until he falls asleep. he wakes up a few hours later with his mother by his bedside, and shes obviously been crying for quite a while. he thinks shell support him but she basically just tells him that hes a malfoy and he has to conform for the sake of the family, that “this just isnt done,” that type of stuff. he decides then and there to shove all his feelings down and be who his parents want him to be.

now fast forward a few years to fourth year, the yule ball. draco and pansy get drunk together after the ball and long story short draco tells pansy hes a boy, but he makes her promise not to tell a soul. a week after that, harry comes to class in the girls uniform and announces that shes transgender, and its an immediate spectacle. this is when draco learns what being trans is, and when he learns that hes not alone.

his fellow slytherins immediately start bullying harry for being trans and draco feels a bit sick about it but pansy, being the darling that she is, threatens them all violently every time theyre transphobic. of course, they still make sly remarks when pansy isnt around, but draco refuses to partake in it and harry is very confused by this turn of events. she thought that her rival would have taken the opportunity to make fun of her for being trans, but instead her rival is simply accepting it. sure, draco is still a piece of shit towards her, but now instead of calling her “the boy who lived” as a taunt, he calls her “the girl who lived.” its very confusing for harry but its not like shes complaining.

from here, everything in canon happens exactly as it did including the war, except harry is now a girl and draco is presenting as one.

after voldemort is defeated and his father is put in azkaban, however, draco feels like a weight has lifted off his shoulders. he decides to transition despite what his mother says or thinks, and he starts training to become a healer (or, well, he tries, seeing as no one in the uk wants to teach an ex-death eater). meanwhile, harry left britain and started traveling the world as soon as the war was over. she wanted to experience living a normal life away from the fame and war and everything else.

its about a year after the war when draco applies to a healing academy in peru and is accepted. his mother, who still considers him to be her daughter even though hes been transitioning for like 8 months at this point, begs him not to move but he does and tells her that he needs a fresh start, and that honestly, being around her is exhausting when all she does is misgender and deadname him.

so he moves to peru and its there where the slow burn starts burning.

he sees her again at a peruvian queer wizarding bar. he panics at first bc he had no idea she was in peru, much less at that bar. he tries to leave but she sees him before he can and she instantly recognizes him despite the change in appearance.

at first she thinks that he might just be a butch lesbian or something (which wouldnt be very shocking, considering the rumors that had circulated in school about draco and pansy) but it quickly becomes very clear that hes a man. shes shocked but a lot of things from their childhood starts clicking into place and now everything makes sense. why he refused to misgender her, why he hated people calling him by his first name, etc.

after their first reunion, draco seriously debates quitting the academy and leaving peru. fortunately, a firecall with pansy slaps some sense into him and he stays, but hes determined to never cross paths with harry again. harry, however, has become intrigued by him and her draco obsession from sixth year comes back with full force. she finds out that hes studying at the academy and starts waiting for classes to end so she can talk to him, stuff that hermione and ron would tell her was insane (if she kept in touch with them, that is).

eventually, she wears draco down and they talk. she learns that he chose his name as a child because of the constellation myths that his mother would read to him at night. he learns that she kept her name because her parents gave her it and it felt like the one thing that was still hers, regardless of what the world said. she learns that draco had to learn how to brew his own transitioning potions when no healer would prescribe them to him after the war. he learns that harry had to wait to start taking her transitioning potions until the moment she turned seventeen because the dursleys refused to sign off on it.

they become close. theyre acquaintances, friends, maybe some unnamed third thing, but theyre them and thats good enough for them. harry drags draco out of his shell and he becomes bright and alive again for the first time since he was nine. draco learns that harry stopped writing to ron and hermione a few months after she left out of guilt and shame, and he urges her to reach out again.

eventually they kiss. its a sweet, innocent thing that just came naturally to draco, who had kissed harry before he left his flat for class when he saw her laying in his bed, sleepy and sun-kissed. from there the relationship deepens, and it almost feels like this is always where they were going to end up. they were always going to be draco and harry, harry and draco. and maybe thats just fate, maybe its love, or maybe its both. whatever it is, its beautiful and thats all that matters.

do any of yall wanna hear abt my slow burn t4t drarry au w/ trans guy draco and trans girl harry,,,,,

hi Kibii nation

i dont know how to announce this but i’m One with the Piece now. i love little silly men. fuck yeah eat that fruit i love the sea !!!!!!!

[narwhalsarefalling]

Hypothetically,,, if i were to start watching (or reading??) Star Trek, where should i start?

1. YOU MUST BE WILLING TO WATCH CRINGE SHIT BC I PROMISE THERES SOME SEASONS OF SOME TREKS THAT ARE JUST THE FUCKING WORSE BUT ARE SO VITAL TO WATCH SO YOU HAVE THE CONTEXT FOR LATER AND MUCH BETTER EPISODES.

2. OK BUCKLE UP YOU READY FOR AN IN DEPTH DISCUSSION ON WHICH TREKS ARE WHICH

heres a key bc im gonna be using some abbreviations

tos - the orginal series (the one with spock) tng - the next generation (the one with data) ds9 - deep space nine (the one with transgender worms) voy - voyager (the one with janeway, the best captain in the delta quadrant) ent - enterprise (nobody likes this one bc of the post 9/11 nationalism) (also known as the series that had mpreg in the second episode) aos - alternate original series (the one with spock but theyre homophobic) (aka the 2009 remakes) disco - discovery (the one with the mushrooms) picard - picard (picard) lds - lower decks (bobs burgers but its star trek)

OK, SO NOW THAT WE GOT THOSE ESTABLISHED WE GOTTA GET YOU THE VIEWING ORDERS THAT MOST PEOPLE USE

some people watch the show in CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER FROM RELEASE. this is the order from when the shows were made. it goes TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY, ENT, AOS, DISCO, PICARD, LDS.

the benefits in watching it in chronological order is that you can slowly see the special effects get better over time, you can watch star trek from the "beginning" and have a good grasp on where the writers were going with each characters in each series. its pretty cool, because you can see the rise in popularity. the cons are that you have to start with the most horrible special effects of all fucking time and it gets worse before it gets better.

however, there is ANOTHER order that i like to call the "fun order" because it skips around the timeline a little. you start with TNG, then DS9, then VOY and then you can watch the other treks in whatever order you want. this is fun if you have less time and just want to get the main story out of the way so you can watch Lower Decks.

there's also the "timeline" order, which goes ENT, DISCO, TOS, TNG, DS9, VOY, LSD, and then PICARD. AOS is not included in this list because its technically an alternative timeline, so you can just watch those three movies afterwards. the benefits is that you get to see humans starting out their exploration in the galaxy and expand as the show goes on. the cons are that it deffff jumps around in quality (disco is famous for being kinda like a netflix series, or one really drawn out movie while ent and tos are "monster of the week" style episodes). another con is that you have to watch ENT, which has a guy growing nipples on his hand in the 2nd episode because he put his hand in a bowl of rocks with an alien and got man pregnant. trust me this is not the worst episode you will watch.

theres also the "fuck around and find out" order where you read all of the wikipedia summeries of each show and start with the one with the coolest sounding plot

TLDR so the timeline in order of events goes ent, disco, tos, tng, ds9, voy, lsd, picard (as aos is an alternative timeline). the way it was released went tos, tng, ds9, voy, ent,aos, disco, picard, lsd. the way most people watch them go tng, ds9, voy, lsd, tos, ent, disco, picard.

tbh, you could start with any trek and just have fun.

you can also join my star trek server which welcomes people who havent watched anything of trek to get advice as well!

homosexuals being forced to choose between transition and death discrimination against trans people?

do you have knowledge of transgenderism in Iran asides homosexuals being pressured to transition? asides westernized people with online gendie friends, trans = transitioned. the dysphoric homosexuals and the ones pressured to transition are all under the trans label. and it is no utopia.

from trans in iran wiki page

some financial assistance being provided by the government for the costs of surgery, and with a change of sex marker on birth certificates

my friend is desisted now but when she was looking into it, the government essentially forces you into debt (dysphoric or not). if you are somebody who is clockable (and that is most because they’re not exactly given good care) you will not be hired or treated normally in the streets.

available post-surgery. However, substantial legal and societal barriers still exist in Iran. Transgender individuals who do not undergo surgery have no legal recognition and those that do are first submitted to a long and invasive process, including virginity tests, formal parental approval, psychological counseling that reinforces feelings of shame, and inspection by the Family Court.

and only adults can get srs so the family court and parental approval aren’t good things that are safeguarding children. they’re designed to make sure that you cannot do it in secrecy from your family. they then try and determine if you are a homosexual or a dysphoric as if those don’t often coexist then throw you to subpar doctors and sterilize you after.

The quality of trans healthcare in the country, including hormone therapy and reconstruction surgeries, is often very low. Iran still considers transgender identity to be a mental disorder and has no laws protecting trans people against stigmatization or hate crimes.

if you are homosexual woman with masculine behavior or man with feminine behavior, for your own safety you might consider transition or your family suggest it and you get it and now you exist in a most likely botched body. your boyfriend can marry you now though. you are dysphoric (most trans group in iran are transmed) and the government promises it can cure you and you are left with a most likely botched body and you can’t find a job because you look like a freak. but hey, it was subsidized by the government right?

western ideology is definitely growing stronger but it doesn’t reflect their realities

^ 2008 interview w a homosexual TW

"the dysphoric homosexuals forced to transition" why imply homosexuals being forced to transition means theyre dysphoric tho? many are not. and being forced to transition your gay away isnt discrimination against trans ppl......its discrimination against gay ppl specifically.

also can i have sources for the stuff u mentioned bc:

part of the reason for my statement is bc i have read many sources stating that the regime covers sex change surgeries and provides a lot of coverage, more than most nations around the world.

it is one of the top 20 countries in terms of covering transition costs and pro-trans legislation.

as for the surgeries being botched...sorry to say but even in the west, thats the case for most surgeries. almost all that u described is specifically homophobia, and if on top of gay ppl being forced to transition them being forced into debt just sounds like more homophobia to me.
