Something Funny

@Salvijus read my last comment.

He/she is not identifying as a tree though? This is just false equivalency. What is so super unpractical about re-assigning a person from one ALREADY EXSTING imaginary category to another ALREADY EXISTING imaginary category? You've said yourself that they are imaginary so what is such a big hurdle? What special right do you think they will receive that are so unpractical? Considering how they are just the right that people already have. They not asking for a right to plant himself in someone's backyard and be a tree. You are contradicting yourself. If identity is imaginary, then what's the issue? How is them identifying as a woman any more ridiculous than them identifying as a guy? The answer is once again: you talk big, but your words are empty. Because you can only hold that contradictory position if you are still super attached to traditional gender identity.

Well if you are not attached to petty human identities, why are you attached to your money? Just give them to me. You don't need them, you just are. I will leave you some for bread and water, don't worry. That wil be enough for you to "just be".

I mean... tree or not, you seem to reserve an ability to define your identity. You've just defined yourself in this thread. What makes you say that she has no right to do the same? Maybe then you don't either. Maybe only other people should be allowed to define it for you? Maybe I want to define you as a weird forum transphobe. Should this be your new identity?

For her - yes. Who cares what counts as a change in identity for you? That you talk big but your actions don't reflect it.

The guy who said that he hates Emerald?

Give me your bank account details then, please

@Salvijus he got a body that he enjoys? It's hypocritical to pretend that appearance doesn't matter. Obviously it does. It affects how people treat you, how you feel about yourself, whether you can get a partner, whether you will be allowed to enter a female bathroom, whether you will be beaten up on the street for looking weird, whether you can get a job...

At least you could say that Trump is a good talker. How can anyone fall for this stuttering, mumbling guy with fish eyes who is also saying complete nonsense?

@Salvijus you are the one who was throwing loud words around about how transgenderism crumbles under scrutiny, lol. So I thought you had something to say. You are wording it in such a weird way. I didn't try to give it validity with this post, because it being somehow invalid never even crossed my mind. I was juat really impressed with the badass transformation and wanted to share it, lol. I don't see how it is even necessary and how it is a philosophy. Dude didn't like being a guy so he decided to be a woman. Dude is now happy and looks amazing. That's it. What is there to argue about?

No serious spiritual person would say something like "transgenderism is a scam".

@Salvijus no, me too

@Salvijus your front of wisdom and spirituality is a scam. It crumbles as soon as you open your mouth.

@Jodistrict Lol, are you writing from a parallel universe?

Is he just nervous or does he always talk like this?

@Salvijus idk what you are talking about.

Idk what you are talking about.

You are being so close minded. And it's upsetting how you don't even respect people having other worldviews. Not sure what a teenie bobber is but I would rather be with them if they are nice to others, at least.

No Kind of, yes. No Yes, and I think it's a fair issue to have. What's wrong with expecting your partner to be able to relate to you and meet you halfway?

@Princess Arabia I think I've finally realised what actually bothers me about that attitude. I can kind of respect this position, because yeah, at least you are being honest about it. And all that stuff about strong and independent women is nice but you can't judge a person's whole character on just this one thing. And that's not relly even what bothers me. I understand now that I would just be really hurt by my potential girlfriend's inability to see things from my perspective and emphasize with my position enough to be at least open to paying for herself. Like, I would honestly be upset about it to a point where I wouldn't want to be with her because it just feels so unloving and unappreciative to me. This is what would make it a dealbreaker for me.

I didn't say that it's a bad thing. I just said that you have no idea how it feels for the male perspective and that you wouldn't be able to hold the same opinion about it if you were put in an average man's position.

You just can't not be mean to people, huh?

I honestly don't see any logic behind this. Like why? What makes you say that? This is honestly such a privileged position. Only a person who has never had to go through a labour of asking someone out can hold. In practice, it has everything to do with that. Girls who make it a principle to always pay for themselves are usually the more strong willed and independent ones. There is just something inherently submissive about expecting another person to pay for you. I once went on a date with a power lifter girl (I approached her), guess what - she paid for both of us, lol.

I get your point, It's just that it sounds a bit hypocritical since you have admitted yourself that you never ask anyone out. It's easy to hold that position when you are not actually being put in it. I wonder how you would feel about either being expected to pay for everything or being considered cheap if the only way you could ever get a partner would be by asking them first. I bet you wouldn't be so black and white then.
