I don’t think ego renegade boy Len is metaphorically trans at all. I think he’s explicitly trans. I think he is just actually, genuinely, canonically trans. I think the metaphor lies not in him being trans, but in him being convicted. How he “killed” Rin in the story and is in court for it. The line “case open and shut” once he gets to the courthouse implies that, although nobody is dead, he has already been decidedly guilty. There is a line around the body, evidence at the scene, and yet there is no body there, and there never was. It’s a metaphor for the way trans men are treated. How their families pretend their daughters are dead, how they’re treated as violent and evil just because they’ve changed. Rin is not “dead,” Len is alive and thriving. And yet he’s accused.

What’s your suggestion for that phenomenon where kids will be bullied to the point of wanting to die for their entire school and the school does literally fucking nothing no matter how much you “report” or how many “trusted adults” you tell or how much you “just ignore them” (this has happened to me. The middle school experience lol)

child liberation is a massive project, and starts for alot of people with reckoning with school as an institution, and attempting to understand how it creates these kind of behaviors - and make no mistake it is the school system (and broader societal systems if power) which create and encourage this behavior.

'rebuild the whole system' isn't a great answer to an individual question, but it is a necessary one. while adultism continues to rob children of rights and autonomy, they don't have the societal tools they need to advocate for themselves successfully - they must build them for themself and in solidarity with each other.

hey man there’s a blog called radiornogai that’s pretending to be you and is posting gore in system/DID tags

I thought you should be aware if you weren’t already aware (you probably were but still)

Please don't refer to us as 'man', and we are aware, I'm pretty sure the blog's already down. Thank you though!

Is it ok to put people for blocklists

(he also said Wonder Woman would be a TERF. Wonder Woman. LMAOOOOO just funny to me 😭)

Yeah blocklists are fine

I've known and had this guy blocked for months now. Not a good person to associate with. Just because transition wasn't right for you doesn’t mean it's bad.

Being an aspiring game dev is fun cause it’s like you have all these ideas for massive sandbox games with unique mechanics and NPC characters with personality and 18 thousand endings and a completely open world that will make people cry at its sheer beauty and excellence . But that shits gotta wait cause right now you don’t even know how to make the little pixel guy jump

I always thought it was weird that teachers were able to refuse to allow kids to go to the bathroom because it was a basic human necessity, and my parents and teachers literally always disagreed with me with the reasoning of “ kids go to the bathroom to do drugs and destroy the bathroom” like OK? that’s a few select kids who need to be disciplined for doing stuff like that and not have the entire school (and everyone else in the entire country apparently) be punished instead??? And also have you may be considered the reason why a child is so stressed that they are literally doing drugs in the bathroom and destroying the bathroom?????? Especially MIDDLE SCHOOLERS…???

that's a good start, yeah. I've met alot of people (alot of kids!) who got to this point and no further. I often wish they had the space/courage to ask more questions: Why are adults in a position where they have this much power over children? Why is discipline considered a necessary part of education? Why the hell are kids so cooped up they want to destroy bathrooms?

hmmm…… why do I feel bad? Clearly I’ve done something morally wrong *had 2 hours of sleep* *hasn’t eaten in 16 hours* *under stress from numerous tasks as well as executive dysfunction*

I get that “DNIs don’t work” and all but I think if I have explicit boundaries online it’s fucked up of others to make a point about crossing them. Like my DNI isn’t gonna prevent people from telling me to kill myself, I get it. But I also think that when someone tells you something makes them uncomfortable and you proceed to do that thing it’s a lot more fucked up than if you did the thing without knowing it makes them uncomfortable. It’s good to curate your own online experience. It’s good to state your boundaries so they’re less likely to be crossed, at least by people that actually care about others. Yk?
