'Brokeback Mountain' - the queer story of a trans romance

Willpoll · 2020-10-08T02:45:38+00:00

Now I know it seems a tad small but this has me genuinely fucking mad. It was one of the first mainstream gay romances and also tackled alot of the difficult emotions that come with accepting yourself. It was the first big bits of representation, or it seemed that way to me. Fuck off with the "trans romance" shit already and just let us at least have this one thing.

I'd rather blow my brains out with a 20 gauge

Willpoll · 2020-10-29T02:41:10+00:00

lol wut? Theirs one glaring issue here and it's very obvious. "he" missed Mulan's entire motivation. Mulan did it to save her father from dying at the blade of a Mongol because she was utterly committed to family first and foremost. there is no "dysphoria" because she would've never run to the army if her father was healthy or if she had a brother of age.

Willpoll · 2020-12-18T13:35:22+00:00

lol. the key word here is transplant. as in, you know, the veteran already had a dick. on a trans person that would be an implant

Willpoll · 2020-09-23T17:21:35+00:00

You certainly aren't the only one out there. The whole thing just seems deeply homophobic with it's use of terms like "genital preferences" and how we need to "work on that". Almost all of it is just the old homophobia with one or two words changed. The ideology just seems like conversion therapy but now inclusive™

Willpoll · 2020-10-29T01:45:36+00:00

How do people not understand that sexuality isn't fucking fluid?? Like people act like genital trauma or repulsion doesn't exist. it's so fucking infuriating

Willpoll · 2020-11-11T22:49:27+00:00

Yes officer here is my gaydentification card

Willpoll · 2020-09-04T20:09:53+00:00

Oh come on. we can supposedly reclaim queer but homosexual is "offensive"

Willpoll · 2020-08-01T22:20:49+00:00

Well a big part would be that AGB was never moderated to begin with so people feel safe speaking their minds

Willpoll · 2020-11-01T14:50:23+00:00

What the actual fuck was that shit about BDSM???? That shit shouldn't be taught about in any classroom for fucks sake

Willpoll · 2020-10-29T02:43:45+00:00

The thing about the person losing their dick in an accident is theirs always the subtext that theirs already a blossoming relationship happening before it. Yes, if someone lost their dick before I met them it would possibly be a deal braker, but if we were already going steady before then then we could probably work through it

Willpoll · 2020-09-24T01:10:32+00:00

I think alot of the time we all get sunk in a pit of despair and think we're on our own in this fight when we do hold ideas that a good chunk of people do find sensible. It's all too easy to get lost in a sad state of mind. We just need to remember that we got this and that we do have allies

Willpoll · 2020-08-16T20:23:20+00:00

My question is: why fixate on the riots? Whenever someone tells me that I owe my rights to a trans person I tell them no I don't. first of all I don't owe anyone my rights, that's why their called rights, second I am allowed to marry because of people who went through the courts in cases like United states V. Windsor. Sure stonewall was a step, but saying I am allowed to marry because of trans people supposedly at stonewall is like saying the Arabs created the computer because they discovered algebra

Willpoll · 2020-10-02T15:35:23+00:00

Good lord lol. that paragraph is so confusing. So I am to understand that the person who wrote it is mtf and attracted to dudes? if so, why are they on a site for gay men? can't speak for other guys here but if your trying to be a woman I don't really think you should be in gay male spaces. after all, they are for gay males Also why would a trans woman help with a "top drought"???

Willpoll · 2020-10-12T13:25:18+00:00

There wasn't really anything to discover for me. I always liked guys then one day found out there's a word for it.

Willpoll · 2020-09-13T22:57:40+00:00

Thank you big corporation for saying gay rights™ in a country where homosexuality has been legal for three years already. Truly courageous.

Willpoll · 2020-11-04T16:03:29+00:00

What the fuck lol. Just because people like wearing dresses or like cooking instead of cars doesn't mean their trans. egg culture just needs to die.

Willpoll · 2020-09-19T12:52:53+00:00

I could be wrong but as far as I know almost every culture has some form of union. Marriage in a western sense I feel has lost it's religious value decades ago. Marriage these days, especially in secular cultures really just is a show of commitment.

Willpoll · 2020-08-14T13:54:00+00:00

Not saying trump is any better, but I'm old enough to remember when Biden voted in favor of the marriage protection act and the same dude telling people to jump the gay MAGA guy is probably voting for Biden

Willpoll · 2020-10-01T05:13:41+00:00

"(unfortunately) for some gay guys anatomy matters" They can fuck all the way off. We've heard this shit before with the Christian weirdos and didn't take it then, and I'm not gonna take it now.

Willpoll · 2020-10-27T20:32:22+00:00

So... what their saying in the first panel is that I could save twenty bucks on a dildo? why would I get into a long term relationship to save twenty bucks?? also eww to the whole art style. It has a sort of slimy feel to it.

Willpoll · 2020-08-14T18:19:19+00:00

That mom is literally only having her son transition to get at the dad. He needs to bitch about it as much as possible and take it to as high as he can go in the courts. Screw spending 5K a month so your ex wife can abuse your kid. Spend it on getting a legal team together

Willpoll · 2020-10-13T23:11:25+00:00

OK first of all what the hell with "hallmarks of gay culture"??? there is no "gay culture". Secondly, of course no ones going to hook up with them on grindr. that seems painfully obvious 🤦‍♂️

Willpoll · 2020-08-24T22:10:49+00:00

I like how he talks about working class initiatives as if all gay white men are millionaires when that's just not true

Willpoll · 2020-09-09T14:44:18+00:00

Those ideas are a great start. the obvious one that pops out to me but a lot of us really can't do much about is decriminalization of homosexuality. Those of us in the west, myself included, take for granted that we can be who we are and love who we love in relative safety. Sadly for the majority of the world that's just not the case. There are still what? 77 countries where it's illegal to be gay? I know a lot of us really aren't in a position to change that but we really should be at least spreading awareness to people who might be able to.

Willpoll · 2020-11-16T19:45:01+00:00

It's not lol. If you look at the people who discourage gatekeeping, it's usually the same people with the toxic behavior that would have them gatekept

Willpoll · 2020-09-22T13:13:55+00:00

Yes because needing your partner to have the right equipment is totally the same as joining the klan 🙄. Also aren't the vast majority of trans people white?

Willpoll · 2020-09-17T20:12:51+00:00

The problem is that we've been going on asking permission. We need to draw our land in the sand and stay there

Willpoll · 2020-08-02T19:41:11+00:00

I thought gender was a social construct? And if it is, then gender would have absolutely 0% to do with biology. Genderfluid just seems like someone who is sick of gender roles but at the same time too steeped in them to even try to get rid of them. Without gender roles, there is no genderfluid. So no, it is not. If anything it's just someone who feels that they need to fit VERY stereotypical roles

Willpoll · 2020-11-12T16:36:15+00:00

She purportedly put TW in mens prisons and also blocked a sex change when she was a prosecutor. purportedly

Willpoll · 2020-09-19T13:09:13+00:00

I think it might be because the tras who "become gay" and say stuff like "genital preferences" really fetishize being gay because it's this special thing to them. I think that's because unlike straight relationships, The vast majority of easy to access representation of homosexual relationships, especially online, is usually crap like porn while with straight relationships you see generally a greater mix sexualized and "normal" content out there. So I think trans people who are "straight" are more likely to not expect a more sexualized atmosphere in straight relationships from what they see online.

Willpoll · 2020-09-13T01:10:09+00:00

Probably time to come out as trans-abled at that point

Waiting for the follow up article about how most of them now have colon cancer

Willpoll · 2020-10-31T22:54:40+00:00

The only possible explanation I can come up with is that the people who unironically use the term genital preference simply cannot comprehend the basic concept of trauma/repulsion to a certain set of genitals. Like they cannot for the life of themselves wrap their mind around the fact that some people just can't do vag or can't do dick.

Willpoll · 2020-10-19T23:50:01+00:00

Alright. The first thing you have to realize is that all that matters in this situation is how you think. you don't owe anyone the knowledge of you being a lesbian and that knowledge is yours to do with as you will. If you don't feel comfortable being out to anyone right now then you don't have to be out to anyone. Is it just alot of straight guys in your degree, or do you know them well enough to point them out outside of the classroom?

Willpoll · 2020-10-27T20:50:48+00:00

what the fuck is "white gay culture" lmfao

Willpoll · 2020-10-02T20:08:57+00:00

I can't tell if he's serious or not. Sure two years jail time may be a bit excessive but come the fuck on man. the laws are changed. Just get a room for Christ's sake. there is literally no reason to label this as homophobia.

Willpoll · 2020-09-19T22:42:18+00:00

It's the uber woke ones who tiptoe around everything imo. Anything to not be seen as bigoted

No 😡

Willpoll · 2020-07-20T01:24:47+00:00

Lol, In any circumstance it doesn't matter what most are like, it matters what the vocal are like. And in this case the vocal ARE saying shit like date us or your transphobic. And until the trans community tells them to knock it off, then those who do say sexuality is transphobic are the face of the trans community

Willpoll · 2020-10-29T12:49:51+00:00

lol I don't even use grindr because of just like the perception around it. It's the perfect stereotypical "gay guys do ten hookups a week" app that you just know was gonna eventually start having them trickle in. Also, a bit unrelated isn't grindr owned by the CCP?

Willpoll · 2020-10-30T00:47:39+00:00

of course. Can't have meritocracy anymore. no, 2020 is the age of nepotism supposedly

Willpoll · 2020-09-24T03:48:59+00:00

One for all and all for one!

Willpoll · 2020-10-07T11:16:06+00:00

Voluntary self descriptors don't make sense because being gay isn't voluntary. I didn't choose to be attracted to men exclusively, it just happened. They really don't get it do they?

Willpoll · 2020-08-18T12:19:53+00:00

I think there's some legitimate trans people and I couldn't care less how they go about their day. The problem is, the TRAS are poisoning the well. Empathy is at best an extremely limited commodity. It's very hard to go about your day feeling OK with them when you have people in their camp saying things like "oh, your genital preference is phobic" or "you owe your rights to a trans person". Ironically, one of the most left leaning demographics are doing a great job at parroting the christian right's talking points. And I know it's not all trans people who do this, but sadly its the vocal minority who does, and then their allies go right ahead and join in on it. In any group it doesn't matter what the majority does really, it matters what the vocal do. I was fine with them until they started trying to bring back the stigma and hatred we fought for centuries to get rid of.

Willpoll · 2020-07-11T20:01:53+00:00

This is hilarious. If anything, the notion of not wanting to date trans people being transphobic makes them more aligned to the far right Christians views on conversion therapy

Willpoll · 2020-12-03T18:06:37+00:00

Just don't say anything lol. Not worth the trouble

Willpoll · 2020-09-17T19:27:23+00:00

Willpoll · 2020-09-10T00:55:10+00:00

The court didn't, but rather those who fought the courts through legal means. For people who cry about erasure they sure don't care about the gay people who worked through legislation to have our rights recognized

She says "gods greatest gift to gay men" ironically but it's the truth lol

Willpoll · 2020-09-30T03:02:59+00:00

First off, let me get it out of the way that it doesn't matter if they were right as we still deserve the same rights and accessibility as everyone else. It's like the first amendment. Freedom of speech will of course eventually lead to some wack jobs going crazy but that does not erode the legitimacy of free speech.

The TQ bullcrap isn't our fault in that a good chunk of us in that we weren't and aren't perpetrators of it . While LGB will be blamed for the crap going on with the TQ but the action of said blame is like blaming the dog for a parasite latching on. I really think that the TQ crap would've developed at maybe just a slightly lesser pace even without the landmark of legalized same sex marriage. After all, at least to me it seems like it really sprung up in the early 2010s. In my opinion our struggle was coopted after major wins in the west. Remember, we're not at across the board bestiality yet. We still have time to prove them wrong and I know we will

Willpoll · 2020-09-07T22:32:52+00:00

Did you know? not all cis people are straight many "identify" as gay, lesbian, and bisexual

That cracks me up.

Willpoll · 2020-10-02T12:19:53+00:00

The thing about "some gay men are jealous of trans-men for having a self-lubricating hole". A.) I doubt theirs that many. B.) even if that were the case that doesn't mean that they would want to have sex with one

Willpoll · 2020-09-29T16:03:47+00:00

Yeah the TQ is dragging LGB with them . I remember reading something about how across practically the entire world acceptance rates are dropping after going up for the past couple years. I'm sorry your feeling judged just for who you are man. Nobody should have to feel that way. It's a crappy situation but we all just have to keep on keeping on. Try to counter that argument whenever you can and try to remove that illusion from peoples minds. Hopefully we'll make it through this.

Willpoll · 2020-08-16T01:53:16+00:00

If someone dose not disclose trans status to their partner it is most definitely rape by deception imo. While the dude may be dating what is effectively another dude, then he's probably bi, but I wouldn't push the issue too much, but hey that's just my 2 cents

No matter who wins, the other side won't accept it. Biden's not doing himself any favors by not condemning the rioting but trump hasn't exactly done too well when it comes to the lockdowns. It's a toss up at this point

Nobodies insinuating that really. or at least that isn't the intention. The critique obviously doesn't apply if people realize that all the shit that goes on in yaoi begins and ends on the page/screen. The problem is that theirs a very vocal amount of people who don't understand that.

Willpoll · 2020-10-09T12:20:59+00:00

first of all wouldn't it be a implant? since, you know, the female body wasn't designed to have a penis? Which of course brings up the next logical step, what if the body rejects the implant? also that's a fucking huuuuuugggggggeeeeeeeeee price tag. for the actual male who's had the surgery the cost was 300,000 to 400,000 dollars for crying out loud. I could use that kind of money to go on a very fancy vacation or hell, buy a goddamn house! Also the article does cover that lifetime immunosuppression is needed for this to work otherwise the penis is just outright rejected by the host body. Finally however, it's still the same as a phalloplasty besides the fact it looks better and can get hard. It's not like their sewing in the whole shebang. is that really worth almost half a million????

queer is such a disgusting word that really should have no place in this day and age.

As for "faggot" people have already taken it upon themselves to "reclaim" it :(

Willpoll · 2020-11-04T22:16:25+00:00

Not too much changes beyond hopefully less of the queer theory bullshit being pushed into the mind of the public
In the majority of the world it is still criminalized to be gay. We need to change that and hopefully nab marriage rights on the way.
well my personal hope is that the group becomes less commercialized and more of an actual community as a whole
LGB groups should definitely stick together even after it seems we've won equal rights worldwide. While the laws on the book may allow us to exist, personal bigotry is never going to go away. there needs to be a support network for kids who's parents will hate them, or for people going through hard break ups, or just all sorts of things.
Not much except that I hope yall have a good day!

Out of pocket in the US, PrEP at least used to cost like close to two thousand bucks a month which is crazy, especially with the emphasis in the US about being "open minded" when it comes to sex and people with stds.

SRS on the other hand has a starting cost of about 15K but usually ranges closer to 25k or about one thousand dollars more then a years worth of PrEP by US standards. However you also have to crunch the numbers on HRT which I think has a median rate of around 15 thousand dollars. so that's around 40K for the full treatment minus facial reconstruction.

However most people paying for PrEP will be likely receiving some help whether it be from the gov, job benefits, or health insurance. The PrEP market is delayed gratification for big pharma while full srs gets you all the money at once

edit: it's two thousand bucks a month for PrEP, not two thousand a year

It really depends on how it is done. If the characters just an overused stereotype or just dropped in there for the politics sake. Like say including someone who's demigender or whatever the newest craze is now. If the character is written well and the story benefits then it's fine. At least that's my take on it

Willpoll · 2020-09-24T18:00:39+00:00

I too think that melanin count and having a Y chromosome are the exact same thing
