The bi erasure is that the caption is that they’re in a “lesbian relationship” which is erasing the bi person. The second blow against bi people is that the bi person is the cheater, which yes, anyone can be a cheater. It’s just that bi people are often stereotyped as being cheaters because they have more people to cheat with. I do understand this is a silly little comic, this is more about stereotypes and thoughtlessness than about maliciousness on Zach weinersmiths part.

This feels less like trans erasure than bisexual erasure? Because the joke is that she cheated on her partner with a man, so that makes her bisexual…and a cheater…so two blows against bi people, yay! Or it’s MUCH darker and the pregnancy was non consensual…

This is an unpopular opinion, but y’all are forgetting about inflation. $60 in 2017 is $78 in 2025. $300 in 2017 is $390 today.

My ex always mocked me for the prices of Nintendo switch games. She even got me into playing games on my PC. But except for trackmania, I always gravitate back to the Switch. And I’m definitely in a priveleged place so take this with a grain of salt, but I’m buying the Switch 2 pretty much no matter what. To me it’s worth the cost.

2 I’ve never really used a typewriter, I’ve never listened to a vinyl record. Everything else was relatively common growing up in the 90s, being born in the late 80s.

Dude I sent a fax like last year. The medical industry considers them more secure than email

I watched the first new season. It has ups and downs, but definitely some good episodes in it. I also felt frustrated the longer Stephen Moffat had his run, and then Chris chibnall was straight up boring.

Oh damn, that’s unfortunate

Me too, but looking at this pic, if I had to use one of these, it would be 5

I’m definitely still scared, but I’m still glad I did it

Of course they have a record of it

As a trans person, I’m so glad I listened to my paranoia last year and got my US passport and license updated to my current gender.

If it were accidental, and Musk didn’t want anyone to think it was a Nazi salute, he would have immediately apologized and denounced white supremacy. His reaction is more proof than anything, in my opinion.

Yeah, it’s more like pulling the lever slows the trolley down. It’s still killing people, but pulling the lever is obviously better than doing nothing while we work on a way to derail the trolley.

This sounds like a great first step for him. I’m guessing it doesn’t feel great that support for you is conditional on you receiving mental health counseling. There are a few conditions that might look like gender dysphoria but are not (Dissociative Identity Disorder, in which a person has multiple parts living in the same brain, some of which may be a different gender, and Borderline Personality Disorder may lead some people to constantly switch identities), but generally speaking, and even with those disorders, it’s best practice to trust the person that says they are transgender and support them however they need.

Mental health counseling may still be a good idea for you. First, it’s good to establish a relationship with a mental health provider who can write letters of support for you to give to pcps and surgeons to help you receive any care you might need. Second, transgender people often have co-occurieg mental health issues. This is largely due to your identity being rejected during childhood, which causes gender minority stress. Some have theorized that DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy) might be a good fit for people with gender dysphoria. And mindfulness, anecdotally, has been very good for me personally dealing with dysphoria. It is not a replacement for transitioning, though. A self guided transition still has the most evidence supporting its efficacy. And mental health should not be a prerequisite to transition related healthcare, even though it unfortunately is sometimes.

I am a social work student, not a mental health professional, so take what I say with a big grain of salt.

Corridor crew should do a vfx artists react video for this movie!

You actually can visit Canada as a US citizen with just a passport. So in an emergency, I could cross over in a rush. But mostly I am worried that Trump will say you can’t change your gender marker on passports. So I’m preempting that with this passport application.

We… don’t? Have you not been watching American news for the last… 9 years? I don’t speak with my family because me being trans is not fully accepted by them. I don’t really want to associate with anyone who is okay with increasing trans suicides via politics. I moved from North Carolina to Oregon to be in a queer friendly state, and I don’t regret it one bit. And I have an appointment to get my passport tomorrow… just in case. I don’t know if this country can be fixed. People talk about getting along with our neighbors or meeting in the middle, but I don’t know how to get along with people who wish I didn’t exist.

I’m not sure you’re thinking of this in the most helpful way. A lot of times we are attracted to the kind of people that make us feel comfortable, and what makes us feel comfortable is what we have experience with. So for example if we have a toxic relationship with our parents, or with a first relationship, often we become attracted to people who embody similar toxicity. So its likely not that you are unattractive, but instead need to rethink why you have been attracted to the people who cheated on you. Maybe they all have attributes in common? Anyway, being cheated on sucks, and I’m sorry you have to deal with that.

Fruits have plenty of fiber, which helps increase satiety, which is what’s important here. Also check the difference between a candy bar and a piece of friut, and then think about which fills you up better with fewer calories. Density matters too, it’s much easier to snarf down a bunch of candy than to eat the same caloric value in fruit.

Ha! My great grandma beat yours! She was born in 1898 and died in 2002!
