I fucking love trans people so much.

I don't know anyone other group who do honestly and joyfully pursues *who they are*, what they want, as trans people. I'm not even talking about in gender. So many of us have, in realizing we can break out of our assigned gender, realized that none of the boxes we are forced into have to apply. We patch together amazing, unique selves out of our real, honest interests and desires. Its so fucking beautiful.

hahaha while I was working on the Silicon Dawn bot, the @selfcare bot told me to "keep a deck of cards handy". https://botsin.space/@selfcare/100688474711096976

Best coincidence. :)

@mysidia It also strikes me something:

There's a lot of people whom empathy seems to come naturally to. They construct moral statements like this so people can get along, be happier, work together, be cooperative, and have empathy for those in pain.

But those who don't care about empathy & pain, and only see a short-sighted "us" vs. a more universal love, who develop a very narcissistic view, don't see the value of empathy.

The "rules" become something to exploit.

Updated rule: "Make an effort to find out what others actually want and do THAT unto them, hoping they will afford you the same courtesy."

@Ulfra_Wolfe

LB: this is *exactly* why the Golden Rule does not work.

It is a great starting point to teach kids about cooperative society, but people need to move past it into having a theory of mind that says "other people often want something VERY different from what I would."

I'll put my motivational advice pups here because they provide such deep truths #art #pups
