I was taught how to communicate by my papa
His style of conversation, by the way very much followed the philosophy of "if an observation is stated, then we may compare plausible explanations for each other's consideration, and in doing so, we will come to a deeper understanding of how the other person thinks and feels about similar topics, and what process they use to form opinions on the world at large"
And while I very much enjoy learning about other people this way, there HAVE been some downsides
Primarily, the fact that about two months or so into meeting a cool and interesting new person with so many fascinating thoughs and opinions that I enjoy learning about, a solid 85% of them seem to suddenly snap out of nowhere and ask me to "stop always needing to be right about everything and argue all the time"
And it's like
Oh
My bad
Like
Person who I enjoy listening to: (opinion)
Me: Oh, what and interesting thought! They are inviting me to engage with them in the human art of "conversation", which is a social activity in which two or more individuals form bonds by listening and asking question on a topic of shared interests
Me: This is a clear bid for connection that demonstrates vulneurability, respect, and a desire to become friends and bre heard. How wonderful! I am amenable to this request.
Me: I should demonstrate my affection and enthusiasm by accepting their invitation to listen to their feelings
Me: (comment)
New friend: (reply, elaboration)
Me: Wow, they obviously care about this topic. Have they heard of this related thing? I wonder how it plays in to their beliefs (reference, opinion)
New friend: (Passionate response)
Me: Wow, they're so educated and enthusiastic on this topic and its complexities, but I've noticed a paradox in their reasoning- Are they aware of this? And if so, how do they reconcile it? Maybe we can develop new opinions and perspectives together! What a great experience! (Question)
New friend: (lengthy, well-thought-out conclusion)
Me: I'm learning so much about this person. I can't wait to hear what else they have to say
(---Three weeks down the road, in the middle of an unrelated discussion---)
New cool friend: (suddenly dropping the topic) Jesus Christ, why does everything have to be a fucking fight with you? It's like you always have to have the last word, it's exhausting, why can't you just say "okay" and leave it at that? Were you an only child or something? I have to just bite my tongue and avoid speaking sometimes cause once I make a comment you have to say something back and it just goes on and on forever. You don't have to prove you know everything, God, it never fucking ends
Me:
Me: I have misunderstood a few things
Shit.

Hm would you write trans Chell? Either way, I just think it’s an interesting concept. Plus GLaDOS’s reaction/interactions because of it?
(assuming this is re: prompts, which I haven't gotten around to yet, but this is fun) tl;dr absolutely
could go in a few directions:
imo aperture was VERY trans-positive even in the early days, because they LOVE anyone who signs up for experimental treatment voluntarily. aperture will medically/surgically trans any employee's gender for free, if you'll just sign these forms consenting to all the bonus shit they want to mess around with just while they're at it.
so if chell has surgically transitioned, there might not be much difference except a note in her file. and ongoing hrt, but I could just as much see aperture trying to do that with some kind of implant. artificial ovaries, lab-grown or animal ovaries, you get it. that said, maybe she didn't opt for bottom surgery. I'm a big fan of girldick so that's the opposite of a problem.
I'm cis so I don't have a ton of personal perspective, but I do have a girlfriend. @dd44jd, thoughts?
Well, if we're talking Aperture at basically any point in their history, trans employees would leap through any hoops at all to get judgement-free transition care. It was unheard of for any business to support an employee's transition in the 20th century.
So of COURSE Aperture would do it! It's a prime opportunity to cultivate their two favorite things: 1) fanatical employee loyalty and B) debatably-ethical science.
In other words, go for it. You've got my blessing.
"kids are detransitioning"
no. actually, children now feel comfortable and accepted enough to experiment with their gender, pronouns, name, and presentation. and while some of them end up realizing they were cis the entire time, they now have a new understanding and appreciation for one of the most marginalized and abused groups of people in the world.
there, I fixed your shitty headline.
Also quite honestly, if kids are detransitioning- so what? Honestly, good for them.
Nobody is doing surgery on trans kids. Nobody is doing anything more than MAYBE puberty blockers (which are clinically proven to be safe and are also the go to treatment for cis kids going through precocious puberty). If they decide that actually they're not the gender they thought they were, GOOD.
I want kids to feel safe trying things out. I want kids to experiment with their self expression, be it clothes or hair or gender. If it turns out to be "just a phase" I would far rather it be a phase that they are loved and supported through rather than something they feel is shameful and that they have to hide. I want them to feel like there's no pressure to go one way or the other, just to feel safe to figure themselves out in whatever way makes them comfortable.
Protect trans kids. Protect detrans kids. Protect questioning kids. Full fucking stop.
Investing in something that turned out to be not what you wanted, but nonetheless left you with insight into who you want to be? That's being alive for ya
Posted this on Twitter: I'm tired of the fear over trans kids. My son thought he's trans. Lived a year with different clothes, name and pronouns. Came back and said "I think I'm not a girl after all." We switched things back. Poof!
Side effects: he knows he'll have support in journeys of self discovery.
There's literally no harm. None. Years later and he's so open with me about his feelings and his needs. He knows I'll take him seriously and stand by him. He was never in danger just existing for a while as a trans kid, even though he didn't turn out to be one.
"But what if I identify A and wind up B?"
Then you did some exploring followed by some learning, and that is more than some people ever do.
