God. Pan. Baphomet. Perhaps Tiamat. God as the pantheistic all, too vast to witness in his true form without dying. In the Bhagavad Gita, Arjuna gets just a glimpse of Krishna and is paralyzed with terror. In the Old Testament, Moses is placed in a rock while the God of the Jews passes by, because he'll die if he sees all of God. I am talking about the God that contains these Gods. The God that contains even heaven and hell.

Well, that's easy for you to say. You have a bad imagination. It's stupid. I live in a fantasy world.

What is your least favorite thing about how trans folks are portrayed in the media and why? What sort of trans characters would you like to see more of in TV shows/movies/novels etc?

Pretty much the whole thing. They're treated as some kind of circus side show, made the butt end of jokes with no real lines. It makes for the public perception of trans to be poor.

More like predestination, and that one movie about aids

Can I tack on a more specific question:

Tonetta - did you ever see he film "The Silence of the Lambs" and did you, or did you not, think it was transphobic? What did you think about it?

Can I change this add on a bit, pretty much the same question added but instead of "The Silence of the Lambs," it's "The Life of Adolf Hitler."

I seen it, and thought it was about someone who was mentally ill sicko in an era where transgenderism didn't exist at nearly the capacity that it does today, which gave media free reign to do what they like. Not that they still don't do that.

So it was more about how people and the media perceived and reacted to it than the movie or the character itself? It was like the character was more of a catalyst than anything else?

If I'm writing a trans character, what would make him or her into someone you'd want to read about?

Of course, like any trait, it would be a part of the character, not the sole determiner of their personality, but beyond that?

I worked with ethylene thiourea as a chemist, which is an accelerant used in making all sorts of artificial rubbers. It has all sorts of health risks just by breathing it, allowing on-skin contact, etc. Generally, it gives you cancer of the everything when inhaled, and permanent scars if left on your skin and you sweat at all. It's the chemical that they warn you about essentially (in laymens terms) when warned about burning rubber. In this job, I mad the precursor to carpet underlay and some industrial explosives.

I didn't actually work anywhere with my psych degree. I started shadowing to become a psychologist and realized it was not for me, for various reasons.

Sane, independent, persuasive.

Basically just like any other character, but also the ability to talk about stuff they did as a little boy/girl and can accept their past.

If you were marooned on a desert island and could only take:
* Five CDs (assume you have a solar-powered CD player)
* One book
* Any other item of your choice

What would you take?

And it's not like one of those crappy islands with literally nothing there are some trees and a potable water source somewhere think like Vanauatu or something.

I guess that means it's not really a desert island.

Clearly, yes. Praise xhe


Autogynephilia exists in the sense that the latin roots translate to "self-woman-love" - and all women (even trans-women) should love themselves for whatever qualities give them strength. But that specific term itself isn't used with regularity any more because the men who coined the term back in the 80's also held many antiquated stances on the rapidly changing world of gender identity politics...
For example, the whole conceptual framework surrounding "Autogynephilia" assumes that all MtF trans-women must either be A) Men who are so goddamn gay for the penis that they must be physically altered to look like women in order to make their insatiable dick-lust more tolerable for society, or B) So goddamn gay for their own penis that the only "ideal woman" is gonna be themselves except with boobs, dresses, shaved legs and makeup. It's not that simple, never is.

Let's settle this, at least: Of course trans-men and trans-women are going to try to modify their appearances so they can look like their idealized, sexually-confident selves - generally speaking that's what everyone who cares about getting laid is out there doing, working out and working jobs to become slightly more appealing to a potential attractive mate. Meanwhile the rest of us are reading (and posting) in this thread. gently caress.
