More often than not it simply means "I like to roleplay as this character/person". The same user also has this in their about me: quote:Im a 16 year old, succubus-kin and spiritussexual. That means I can only fall in love and lust with a person's inner soul. outside appearance or gender means nothing to a succubus. luckily i've inherited extremely strong psychic ability from my grandmother so I can read a person's inner being even through the computer so WATCH OUT .

I am transethnic or maybe the word is transcultural since I am physically Irish but feel more connected to German culture and as if on the inside I am German.

The Internet is the worst enabler of delusional pseudointellectuals. These people also seem to believe that composing sentences in English is totally like painting - just mix and match whichever colors and styles you like, it doesn't really matter what you do. Which is how I think they arrive at:quote:I’m a non-binary neutrois pangender genderpunk autistic aspiequeer queer lithsexual punk anti-kyriarchist anarchist.

Devoyniche posted:Their argument was literally that posting pictures of yourself before and after a lot of weight loss crosses a line into hate speech because it makes them feel bad. Like it might make a bunch of fat people feel bad about their body and want to lose weight and then if they don't they will feel even worse. It's like the stupidest thing ever. I went to the blog they linked to and apparently on the front page people are sending this girl death threats, although for other things, I guess. Sounds like all of YLLS would be considered hate speech.

The guy is basically saying that all minorities need special protection from whites and anti racism crusaders. Like a black dude can't speak for himself or say when he's uncomfortable.

samizdat posted:This reminds me of the wannabe disabled people. These are people who call themselves "transabled." These special people go to such lengths as hacking off/destroying body parts so that their physical body matches their fantasy disabled body. They also like to think that their gross body image problems are a legitimate "trans*" issue and telling them to get loving help is akin to telling a gay person to go get de-gaying therapy. It's not so much a "fantasy disabled body" as it is an actual neurological anomaly that they refuse to acknowledge as such. The treatment for it, unlike for being transgender, is to properly integrate someone's brain and body without hacking off limbs.

Your education and fluency of English is classist and just because someone can't afford to go to college to learn about psychology doesn't make their psychological problems any less real. It also assumes otherkin can afford to visit a psychologist to see if their phantom wings are treatable, when they probably can't due to discrimination against otherkin making them hard to employ. The sample size for psychologists having dealt with genuine otherkin minds is too small to draw a viable conclusion as to whether or not it's "treatable" or "real" Consider whether or not you're hurting peoples feelings when you try to educate them on "Scientific" "Facts". -Some poo poo otherkin actually say.

Transgender people actually have brain anatomy that corresponds to their gender identity, not the shape of their body. Parents can have a baby boy or baby girl or sometimes a transgender baby. Transgenderism is a mismatch between a person's mental understanding of their gender and their body's anatomy.

slogsdon posted:Generally they want to be black. I just found out about this.. thing.. a few weeks ago and most of the ones I've seen are kids who want to be japanesekawaiidesu or some poo poo. Hadn't seen any that want to be black, but to me, that just seems like "why can black people say the n-word and I can't?" taken to the next level. vvv I doubt it, since these people tend to find each other and band together, encouraging and defending each other from the "normals".

I can deal with awkward hormone riddled angsty teens pretending they're a black Jewish quasisexual jaguar, they'll grow out of it (I hope). Outright saying that wanting to diddle kids is fine as long as you don't actually do it is just wrong. Then again, what do I know? I'm just a bisexual white male who is fine with what/who I am.

All these people getting "offended" at things really need to check their privilege. As a trans-head trauma victim I strongly identify as someone who no longer has a functional fight or flight response which is needed in order to take offense at things. Though the trauma victim I identify as cannot be offended, the non damaged mind that I was coercively assigned at birth is. As a result, I am inversely trans-offended.

Like, if you have PTSD from being shot at while Val Doonican was playing on your ipod, you might get the shakes whenever you hear his smooth celtic tones. As to what it has to do with this stuff, it's generally code for 'you're being a big meanypants'.

Three-Phase posted:I'm sorry, but could someone kindly explain what the hell "triggering" is? When used legitimately, it's a PTSD thing. When someone has suffered trauma, they can be left with "triggers" (words, phrases, situations) that can make them relive the trauma and can cause them significant distress. When used on tumblr, I'm not sure, but it largely seems to mean "words that hurt my feelings."

Neuroscience is really weird sometimes.

Yeah, reading about surprise sex/assault/etc in detail can trigger PTSD in surprise sex victims, much like sudden noises can trigger it in soldiers. So if it's something like "Trigger warning: surprise sex", that's legit. If it's something like "Trigger warning: Eating meat" it's douchebags going "Oooh, oooh, I wanna do that too".

The above poster put it pretty well, it's supposed to mean it could trigger trauma in someone who's had a very bad experience. now it's just being used for anything that could hurt someone's feelings.

I have a circle of friends that are always complaining about these social justice rejects filling up their tumblr feeds. The way they describe it, I could swear that I'm using a completely different website. The volume at which these people seem to exist is shocking but I've never once encountered this special kind of bullshit. I think there's a partition on tumblr seperating all the cry baby shut-ins who spend their life taking dumb role playing fantasy headworlds to a sick extreme from all the other people using tumblr to post their ironic hipster VHS screengrabs. But this is 25 years worth of white-heterosexual-male privilege speaking so feel free to disregard any of these viewpoints with a 20 page essay detailing how I failed to acknowledge the special needs of the transphantom-binatural-dragon-dog community.

There's quite a few mentions of people not just identifying, but as explicitly coming out as "demisexual". Being unfamiliar with the term, I turned to Google, which revealed this:quote:A demisexual is a person who does not experience sexual attraction unless they form a strong emotional connection with someone. It's more commonly seen in but by no means confined to romantic relationships. The term demisexual comes from the orientation being "halfway between" sexual and asexual. Nevertheless, this term does not mean that demisexuals have an incomplete or half-sexuality, nor does it mean that sexual attraction without emotional connection is required for a complete sexuality. In general, demisexuals are not sexually attracted to anyone of any gender; however, when a demisexual is emotionally connected to someone else (whether the feelings are romantic love or deep friendship), the demisexual experiences sexual attraction and desire, but only towards the specific partner or partners. Seems to me that demisexuals are simply people with a rather low sex drive, but even if that isn't quite accurate, I find it extremely puzzling that anyone would think it important enough that other people know about this to go the lengths of publicly announcing their demisexuality. Who on earth cares if you don't madly go into heat every time you cross paths with someone of whatever gender you prefer? Do these self-proclaimed demisexuals think that emotional connections do not have a profound effect on the sexual attraction between, er, "sexuals"? Anyway, here's another few interesting tweets: quote:As for people eating other people, I think it’s problematic to assume that every single time this happens it’s nonconsensual murder quote:so here, these are my pronouns: woh, uske, usko, uskos, uskoself, uskoselves quote:we collectively identify as a queer trans* disabled D/deaf neurodivergent otherkin system of colour quote:i would not consider myself qualified to diagnose anyone else but i believe that my self-diagnosis is perfectly accurate. quote:lately i’ve been wanting to make a lot of noises that my human noise organs simply can’t generate, and it’s been really really frustrating.
