I love that you did this mini AMA. Thank you for that. 🤗
Rather than intruding, transitioned individuals ought to be seen as the strongest allies - on both sides of the fence. The lived experience you being to the table is tremendously valuable because it is so indisputably valid.
I have a million questions.
I'm crossing my fingers that you'll get a reply, and not as a PM. I'm bursting with curiosity but such things are so very difficult to even have opportunity to be enlightened.
I want to make an art installation where a trajectoid rolls down a squiggly and very narrow board (as opposed to a broad surface as shown in the video), so it's evident that its quirky shape is particularly appropriate to that exact board.
Hmm, I respect your point of view but suspect that it is shaped by your experience. Here's my stereotypical thought: I wonder if you're in the USA. Because to many of us in other parts of the world, y'all are insanely focused on religion. It is not like that everywhere.
I consider myself an agnostic (don't believe in a higher power), but when confronted with insistent christians I readily pivot into atheism (that a higher power does not and cannot exist).
It seems to me that many of those who are seen as atheist are "merely" agnostic, and this misinterpretation stems from a fundamental(ist) "if you're not with us you're against us" belief system.
(upvoted for a good "unpopular opinion" though)
Oh wow, your first paragraph will certainly get you in trouble in certain circles - but, more importantly, your second paragraph is as excellent a defusal as I've ever seen.
I wish Lemmy apps didn't collapse comments when tapping them - it makes text selection impossible (or rather, it forces you through the 'view source' menu which is ludicrously roundabout for the purpose).
I sympathise with your history, your point is well made. As for your future, have you considered adopting?
I'm playing a similar game called just "Life". I seem to have misplaced the manual for it which is quite the hurdle because there are no save/restore points.
It's an open-world game and there are many NPC's, but the few bosses seem randomly placed (at least, I haven't found any pattern to it) and what's worse is that you can't really tell them apart from regular NPC's until you've already engaged them! Got burned by that a fair bit more than once.
I've considered just starting over but the prospect of losing literally my entire progress... 😬
Without getting into the nuances, CPTSD is situational, or it’s caused by a confluence of factors, and is a negative aspect of people’s lives requiring support. Neurodivergence is more often something that’s biological, and not usually negative, and can be celebrated.
I just want to say that this is eloquently and quite beautifully put.
Good bot!
