i hate this
My first thoughts went to a hyper-fixation on weight and presentation/musculature/grooming. All the negatives of being/wanting-to-be a woman today, with none of the perks, and potentially no resolution.
magic isn’t real* that egg was already cracking
*except for flying on brooms
Always knew trans folks were cursed LMAO 🤣
Guy with a nuralink cut me off in traffic, so I took out my flipper zero and made him gender dysphoric.
this shit ain’t nothing to me man
Threw the opp into the particle collider,
watched his ass get pulled apart into a million pieces
Turned his sorry ass into some data
I love/hate that it sounds totally plausible that brain implants will be vulnerable to flipper zero attacks.
It’s a near certainty, if you want your brain implant to be able to communicate with any device outside your skull. If it has Bluetooth or NFC then that’s a vulnerability vector.
So, really nothing changes
You’re downvoted, but as far as the behavior of the cursee is concerned, nope. She’s still the same jerk she was before, just with a different gender. It isn’t said whether or not her sexuality was changed as well.
What I trying to express is: men also have self perception body related issues and often, that’s the root of insecurities towards women.
That moon hair is hilarious in the second last panel.
I cast Body Dysmorphia as a cantrip! Roll to save!
Nat 20 let’s go.
You’re a short motherfucker and nobody likes you!
flute noises BITCH!
Everybody says, “Look how fucking short that guys is.”
And that stops you from forming meaningful relationships.
When you were born everybody thought that you were just a head
But then the doctor said, "WAIT!
This stupid, motherfucking, tiny, short-ass baby Got a tiny, little, itty-bitty body
And I hate it!"
For those unaware, it’s a certified banger
Can’t forget the animated video
LOOT THAT BODY
Oddly appropriate lyrics in this context omfg
That’s definitely at least a 2nd rank spell.
They took the feats
No, that is the kink shame level 1 spell
Vicious mockery is deffo a cantrip…
This feels like a whole mixed bag of a message, IMHO. Hey learn empathy, but also witches make folks trans. Maybe I’m missing it.
The witch turned the creep into a woman and the spell was complete by the time she flew away. Unfortunately, like many women, the creep was born with the body of a man (she’s AMAB). Maybe the witch could have changed her body, too, but that would have made things far too easy, given that the point of the curse was to teach her empathy.
I think it pokes against a popular idea of transforming into opposing sex. So many men imply that they would be transformed into a hot attractive woman. Not an unattractive one.
One witch made one man trans. It doesn’t mean that the mission of all witches is to give out gender dysphoria, nor does it mean that trans people are trans because a witch did it. Life assigns these sorts of things apparently at random anyway.
I mean, a true sceptic could imagine that the witch in this comic had no magical power at all, but her words filtered down through the man’s psyche to where he has always been struggling with his identity, and they gave him the excuse to face it.
Witches do all sorts of things for curses, that doesn’t necessarily mean that the conditions don’t exist outside of witch curses. I don’t think many people would disagree that being trans sucks, though, they just disagree about what it actually is and what to do about it.
i disagree, being trans is great
So you rather not be born the sex that you identify as?
Not who you’re asking, but I wouldn’t have wanted to be born cis
Being trans sucks, like being left-handed in a world for right-handed people does.
There is nothing inherently wrong with it, the problem is all the people trying to police your body.
IMO, being trans would be bad even if other people were all supportive. Transitioning is a lot of effort and no one ever wants to have dysphoria.
This was the turning point where I started actively defending gays about two decades ago. Before then I didn’t really care I was younger and it wasn’t really in my life.
But if you’re going to tell me that some 6th grader is going to choose bullying by assholes by announcing that he’s gay there’s no fucking way you’re going to tell me that’s by choice. Leave the damn kid alone.
Of course there’s more details than that but that’s the gist of it. It’s hard enough as it is leave them alone, it’s none of your business.
you are acting like being trans is some kind of disability or flaw, when it is not. consider if you said “all people blind at birth would rather be born with sight.” that is certainly not true, as for many it’s a key facet of their being despite making life more difficult.
If everyone was supportive, I think it would be fine. It’d be seen like needing glasses. We just need this relatively easy medical care and it’s far less effort if intervention is done before puberty.
Transitioning socially would be less of an issue too since it’d be seen as just something that happens sometimes and has been normalized.
How many trans people would choose to be trans, instead of being born as the gender they’re transitioning to? Obviously that doesn’t really work vor enbies, but AFAIK enbies are a minority among trans people.
Me. Before I transitioned, and in my early days of transition, sure, I’d have made that choice if it were available to me. But now, years in? Fuck no. I don’t want to be cis.
i would not be who i am without my life experiences transitioning. asking me to imagine being born differently is asking me to imagine being another person. no, i would rather be myself.
there are many, many enbies. while the amount is probably below 50%, they are trans too and their experiences should not be sidelined.
Heck, that would have worked for this enby.
