It's really quite bizarre how much work in trans healthcare bases itself on the idea that a patient who deliberately seeks out the Penis Removal Doctor and says "Yes, Penis Removal Doctor, I am certain that I would like to have my penis removed" might be lying to the Penis Removal Doctor, so that they can have their penis removed without actually wanting that.
What's even more bizarre is that the most common "solution" to this is a months-to-years long hazing ritual that has nothing to do with ensuring the patient knows what they're doing, and if you complain about how ridiculously abnormal this is for any kind of healthcare you summon a legion of "um actually" types who insist you're fighting against basic pre-surgical consultations.
You know what? Forget the discourse. This is no longer my hill to die on.
You wanna ship canonically aspec characters because āaro/ace people can still date/have sexā? Okay, then. LETāS DO IT.Ā
I wanna see an aromantic character with an alloromantic love interest. I wanna see that confession of undying love and the moment when the aro character says they will never feel the same wayānot romantically.
I wanna see the asexual character with their allosexual partner. I wanna see that moment when the ace characters tries sex with their partner for the first time because they want to make them happy only to realize that they are 100% sex repulsed.
I wanna see the two demiromantics who donāt even know if what they feel is romantic attraction, but they adore each other and just want to make healthy snacks together and destroy each other at Mario Kart.
I wanna see the two aces who love sensual affection and are figuring out what they define as sexual or not.
I wanna see the romance + sex neutral aroace who happily and consensually does whatever makes their partner happyā¦but their partner still struggles with feeling undesired.Ā
Oh, babe. You thought shipping an aspec character would be just like shipping an allo character?Ā
we have good news and bad news, my liege. the good news is that we now know what that curtsying was about: you will be pleased to know that, after several heartfelt conversations between your child, the court jesters and a myriad of singing woodland creatures, you are now the parent of a proud and joyful new princess. the bad news is that, due to a series of events related to the dragon-sized hole in her bedchamber wall,
I love the insinuation that the second the princess realized she was a girl and thus actually a princess, the dragon was there. That thing wasted no time. It heard "princess" and was like "I need no further invitation, here I come."
āMaybe after you finish this test, Iāll let you take the elevator all the way up to the break room⦠and Iāll tell you about the time I saw the deer again.ā
āItās a mystery Iāll have to solve later. By myself. Because youāll be dead.ā
āDid you know that people with guilty consciences are more easily startled by loud noiseā * really loud ass train horn* āIām sorry, I donāt know why that went off. Anyway, just an interesting science fact.āĀ
āWell done. Here come the test results: You are a horrible person. Iām serious, thatās what it says: A horrible person. We werenāt even testing for that.ā
āDonāt let that āhorrible personā thing discourage you. Itās just a data point. If it makes you feel any better, science has now validated your birth motherās decision to abandon you on a doorstep.ā
āRemember before when I was talking about smelly garbage standing around being useless? That was a metaphor. I was actually talking about you. And Iām sorry. You didnāt react at the time, so I was worried it sailed right over your head. Which would have made this apology seem insane. Thatās why I had to call you garbage a second time just now.ā
āWait. This next test DOES require some explanation. Let me give you the fast version- [unintelligible] There. If you have any questions, just remember what I said in slow motion. Test on your own recognizance, Iāll be right back.ā
āThis next test involves turrets. You remember them, right? Theyāre the pale spherical things that are full of bullets. Oh wait. Thatās you in five seconds. Good luck.ā
āThat jumpsuit youāre wearing looks stupid. Thatās not me talking, itās right here in your file. On other people it looks fine, but right here a scientist has noted that on you it looks stupid.Ā Well, what does a neck-bearded old engineer know about fashion? He probably - Oh, wait. Itās a she. Still, what does she know? Oh wait, it says she has a medical degree. In fashion! From France!ā
āOh, hi. How are you holding up? Because Iām a POTATO.ā
āRemember, these exhibits ARE interactive. Like a childrenās museum. So that means the pits of acid are filled with REAL acid. Like at a WELL FUNDED childrenās museum.ā
Iāve heard they actually had to rewrite a lot of her dialogue for the early part of Portal 2 to be more ridiculous and petty, as it was actually so on-point and vicious it was making playtesters not want to play the game.
i know weāre both just messing around pretending to be whole but look at me. if the train was coming would you move. if the ground was falling from under your feet would you even notice or would it just be another tuesday for you. if somebody stabbed you could it hurt worse than you already do. what iām saying is that i love you but i think we both drive over the speed limit when itās raining. what iām saying is that i want to hold your hand and i understand about how you sometimes have to sit down in the shower. what iām saying is that iām here for you and if the train comes please move.
the problem with "ai isnt going to go away any time soon" is that they expect me to stop fighting it because of that
racism isnt gonna go away any time soon but im sure as hell not gonna be racist because i might as well
misogyny isnt gonna go away any time soon but im sure as hell not gonna be misogynist because i might as well
transphobia, homophobia, xenophobia, classism, none of it is going away any fucking time soon but were still working towards making the world a better place because thats our reason for existence
so yes ai might not be going away any time soon but id rather die than sacrifice so much of what makes humanity so wonderful just so i can skip a few problems on my math homework
