Re: DIscussion of Facebook messages: Carlanime/Necromommycon and Andy

the thing about Andy is, that whether through sheer luck or deliberation, he stumbled on something that is actually an issue among trans people

There are trans people who, after undergoing transition (whatever that may mean for them - usually hormones and genital reconstructive surgery) consider themselves no longer trans. I don't mean they go full stealth or say this for safety. I mean they will tell you "I was trans, I got better"(yeah, mostly these ppl subscribe to very medical models of trasness)(I mean, theoretically that would mean they no longer experience disphoria, but like, actually life is not as simple as that)

And like, look, I am angry when people say ~trans people are trans~! ~You don't get to say what you are!~ Because in general? Yeah, you do! Trans community is vast and large swaths of it are not visible, especially if you socialize primarily through web (some people are just *not* online).

Of course, I also think Andy is a liar and he is using the complicated nature of gender identity to obfscute. everything.

But like. Stop saying (the general you, not you sepcifically, nonny) "never in the history of ever" because with a community like this? Yeah, I guarantee you someone thinks/does that.
