Does anyone notice that trans people get defensive when you ask about how to interact with them?

First, you don't know any trans people. You know some mentally ill people that 15 years ago would have been cutting their thighs.

Second. I can't help, I don't notice trans people.

I saw two of them yesterday, with another 'something'. Walking right down the sidewalk in broad daylight.

It was more of a commentary on how a lot of these people aren't trans. They are sick and glommed on to a "finally" protected group of people where they can scream at you based on societal protection.

Can't go into detail on this site, but there is a cure.

If you're familiar with the 'WPD' .co/.tv site, there's a section on self-curing. Not that I'd advise it.

I'm not going on there because it's one of the rdrama sites, which my "twin" who I'm ultra-jealous of did 90% of the artwork for among other things (and it's all basically flawless).

Ohhh, she's involved with those people? :(

Well, I've already forgotten what this comment thread was about, and it's going to stay that way. \o

I'm sure it's a lot of fun being the target of Vulptex's obsession. I hear about how wonderful you are all the time and I can't help but feel you probably don't appreciate that.

Kind of. Not really.
