Not OC but one I’ve had saved for a while. I generally try not to post memes that are other peoples stories but I just love this one so much

    Sounds like a bunch of friends who already knew and were just waiting for her to come out on her own terms.

      sounds like you dodged several bullets. as a cis person i would expect all kinds of betrayal and bullshit from people if their apparent affection towards me depends on my gender identity.

    This is cool and all but I can’t help but wonder why they went to the trouble to get them a squishy chair, of all things. Everywhere I’ve ever came to be just use whatever chairs were sitting around no matter the circumstances. Weird.

      They probably just like comfy squishy chairs and brought one in for the sake of it. If it’s anything like any group I’ve been part of, it was people saying “Lets do something nice for X” and then trying to come up with ideas. One person then goes “They like squishy chairs” and someone else goes “OH I HAVE ONE I CAN BRING IN!” and then they move on

      No one will miss you, transphobe.

      Do love how you deleted your comment and said goodbye forever to me only to make yet another comment on my post. Run along, child

      Friendship is not a zero sum game. I gift stuff to my friends because I want to see that dumbass smile, not because I expect something in return.

      So you saw a single meme about a single persons perspective and went “Well clearly if this one person is getting treated well, no one else is getting extra attention and kindness”? What kind of bizarre ass logic is that?

      Edit: This dudes posting history is kind of questionable. Recent comment of theirs they randomly asked if someone was on HRT after that person said they hadn’t masturbated in a year. When they said they were on HRT but had nothing to do with it, dude doubled down saying “You don’t think it could have something to do with it?” Then there’s the removed sexist comment in their modlog.

        I saw the mentioned thread, tbh it seems not very unreasonable. hrt can change a lot about sexual stimulation and related emotions (ssri and other meds too).

        with that said I neither read the modlog of that or of these removed comments nor intend to. I’m not supporting them in transphobia either of course.

          Very unreasonable to make that the single first question they ask and then to double down when the person tells them otherwise.

            perhaps. but taken out of context (ie history) it can mean too that they or someone they know well had the same experience on hrt and they simply relate.

            I’m playing the devil’s advocate here.

              If I were judging that comment in isolation, I’d probably give them the benefit of the doubt. In combination with the comment on this thread though, I feel like any of my doubt is dispelled
