Thread: The Pros and Cons of Breathing (And Why I should just Stop)

Wow. I am glad I woke up today because Trygon, that was fantastic. I applaud you and your ability to cuss at people over the internet while making a bunch of assumptions. Let's see... Where to start with this glorious shitstorm that just started flailing about the room, knocking shit over and breaking all the furniture. I'll start this off by saying You wot mate? Let's see. I personally find it insulting that Anita Sarkeesian has the gall to tell me what I find attractive and my reasons for playing a game, and that I'm somehow oppressing women by enjoying video games. Since she's not male, and videogames are a male dominated industry, by your logic, she should just shut the fuck up because she has no frame of reference for what it's like to be male. That about right? You people keep forgetting that double think can work both ways. Truly astounding. I felt the need to talk about it, at least in regards to him, and the conversation I had in chat was ABOUT HIM, because I don't want to lose my best fucking friend just on the off chance that he got it wrong and that transitioning genders actually DOES make him suicidal. Excuse the FUCK out of me for looking out for him in the only fucking way I know how. Apparently there's a fairly high pre-op and post-op suicide rate for transpeople. I was under the impression that it was due to it ultimately being the wrong decision altogether, but, I could be wrong. Please correct me if I am. Preferably with CITATIONS THANKS. That's my reasoning that transgender is a mental illness. It could be wrong, I don't know. So here we have a person who's already suicidal in all likelihood, and someone they trusted enough to talk to about all this says 'You shouldn't do this because you're mentally infirm and doing this will make you commit suicide.' The one way they see to feel better about their situation, and you've just got so many opinions on the subject. Remember, with ZERO frame of reference. Click to expand... Making a lot of assumptions here. First and foremost, from what I understand, he was not suicidal but merely unhappy with his body. Infact, when he first told me, he didn't make it this big serious fucking deal. He just said I wanna be a girl and I literally had to stop and go Wait wut and then he explained that he was serious because, before all this shit started, this is the kind of thing we'd joke about. This isn't a case of me not taking him seriously because of whatever reason you're imagining. This was a case of miscommunication because, AGAIN, this is the kind of thing we'd joke about in the past. Assuming I have ZERO frame of reference on a subject just because I happen to not be the thing, he said while making assumptions based loosely on information given. I mean, do I have to spell out the irony of that or..? For the record, I was actually attempting to understand all of this and support him in my own way, that way being providing him with information that I found useful. His delicate, special snowflake sensibilities couldn't handle it, clearly. I suppose by all this logic, I ought to tell people to fuck off whenever they nag me about something when I don't hve the energy for it based on the fact that I'm depressed, and you're not allowed to criticize me for my personality flaws because I identify as Depressed. Y'see how fucking stupid that is? I don't remember saying anything about suicide. Checking out of society does not necessarily mean death. At any rate, telling me that my opinion is wrong, pollutes the air, and is worth less than dog shit is just... so helpful. And, I actually did try to talk to him about it, but he's literally blocked me on all fronts to the point where I cannot communicate with him at all. Hell, I even tried calling him and he won't answer the phone now. The conversation went Luke? Yep? Oh, Bye and he hung up. He's been screening calls ever since. But I suppose not being able to talk to him or fix this in any way shape or form is STILL my fault? So far, all of the education I've gotten on the subject are a bunch of people screaming at me for my source of information Black Pigeon Speaks on Youtube would be my source in this case, and also treating me like a god damned pariah for DARING to have an opposing view on something. I've been called a terrible person, told to go fuck myself, and now told my opinion is worth less than dog shit. And the funny thing is, is that I want to fucking learn. I want to be a better person and get better, but with everything wrong with me, it takes a lot of patience and a lot of fucking up for me to get anywhere. This isn't how you help someone like me. You're assuming that they know EVERYTHING there is to know about everything and that their opinion MUST be worth more than mine because they're a transperson. Yeah, I know I have personality flaws, and I'm working on them, but they aren't helped by insensitive people like you vilifying me for it, especially since you have no idea what I've been through or who I am as a real person. I'm making the effort to get better. Viktoff I'm not actualy considering suicide, more like logging off of the various sites I log on to and just not coming back. Especially after the shitstorm that is Trygon happening just now. Furthermore, I'm actually trying to not actively name names, except in the case of the one person, Luke, who is not a member of BMR. I am purposefully leaving it at Luke as not to be identifying him. The people I had trouble with in chat know who they are.
