trans discourse, dysphoria
@Oneironott As Depeche Mode said, "[Words] can only do harm." I see the pain and upset you're feeling, at least. Both at the dysphoria and the post.

@Oneironott I agree. I've been bad about this conversational glitch in the past, enough so that @indi has legit called me on it. More than once, embarrassingly. I tend to assume all communication is about personal perspectives unless framed as scientific data, but I'm also exceedingly way outside the norm and most people don't seem to respond that way. Their framing, if not personal, is extremely hurtful to anyone experiencing traumatic dysphoria.

@Oneironott I admit, I read their take and I think I get what they're saying, but it's a far cry from "this is my mental model" to "this is a universal maxim."

I believe @blackle@dev.glitch.social originated the meme, back when Masto was much smaller.

@KawaSeadrake Philip K. Dick is credited with having said, "Reality is that which, once you stop believing in it, doesn't go away." What survives the transition of hormones and effort? What remains when you stop putting energy into it?

@Oneironott I hear you. I see you. I can't end the pain or make anyone answer for it, but I can confirm that your pain is real and your feelings matter.
@vahnj 63% here. Idle games aren't so idle when you sleep poorly.
