Tailor made to be a propaganda machine, I think the US and most countries should make this app Illegal if this update happens. This is insane

No, if they said NG+7, I would have gotten no meaning out of the tweet. "Hardest difficulty" gave me a sense of the accomplishment. And now that commenters have made me aware of what NG+7 means, I can confidently say my understanding of her accomplishment has hardly changed

You actually don't need to have definitions to experience attraction, or a lack of it. Monkeys famously don't have definitions for anything.
@Sinister_Sophia
Are you saying trans men don't know what that's like?
Personally as a transfem, I definitely know what it's like to be treated as a guy

Amphetamines taken at clinical doses DO NOT improve cognitive function in people without ADHD or related deficits. There is an inverted-U function governing optimal dopamine transmission. Healthy people taking amphetamines will overshoot it.

But humans and animals don't JUST masturbate. They have sex. And generally prefer sex and feel drawn towards particular others tone gage in sex with.

Don't let other people's bodies trigger your dysphoria! Like I hate to say "that's your problem". But genuinely, other people with certain body types cannot be held responsible your body image issues.
However, I think this is bad representation optically speaking. Boo!

Yeah, but like. Do you see how the argument is completely different? A woman with a strap-on is far more different from a man, than a woman with a strap-on is from a woman with a penis.
Men: "being a woman is ez mode and everyone loves you and wants you by default"
Women: *does a silly TikTok*
Men: "this is repulsive. What men would ever even touch these disgusting harpies"

These people don't want to understand or promote truth. They want to have a class of trans women who they can feel superior to, as an ego cope for being in a socially inferior class as trans women. So they jump at any opportunity to construct the "delusional" trans woman class.

I think that choice not to tell us what he said really warps this comic from what could be a very real piece of art, into something that just kind of demonizes men.
@RayAlexWilliams
Well... "Of course, I am not saying that there is no material basis on which sex assignments are made. I *am* saying that when materiality is observed and named through social norms, there is no easy way to delink the material body from its social formation"

we've gone to far. "objectification" was never meant to refer this broadly to men's attraction. Men's attraction is more heavily based on physical appearance and that is ok and natural, and we don't have to demonize it.
I'm sorry, I could not take that article seriously. Sexual arousal and fear are already intertwined. Everyone in sexology knows this. That article was just a half-informed ideological screed with credentials
"BDSM causes the neural networks controlling sexual arousal, aggression, and fear to become dangerously intertwined" might be the hottest thing I've ever read.
“A new study from Stanford shows remarkable differences between female and male brains. The researchers found no overlap between male and female, and rejected the idea of a "continuum."”
I genuinely think everyone, trans and cis, would be a little more chill about trans stuff if we went back to thinking in terms of "you are becoming a man/woman after you come out" rather than just "you simply are and always have been a man/woman once you come out"?
Y'all keep talking about their teeth. Isn't that just what happens right after you drink coffee? I know my teeth look bad right after I have black tea, and I'm pretty sure coffee will stain too.

Despite this, people will generally report that the drug is improving their performance even when it measurably has harmed their performance. This is probably because of the euphoria
@shitterly
@Sinister_Sophia
That *is* being treated like a guy. The treatment is punishment for diverging from your prescribed gender. If they were treating you as not-a-guy then it wouldn't warrant punishment.
Do you see now why I have such a big problem with people like
@autogynephil
and
@RayAlexWilliams
abusing the illusion of "settled science" to implicate the entire trans community in their particular paraphilic tendencies?
I hate to give credit to Carlgon, but here it all is laid out clearly. This is why seeing Tube gaining mainstream media positions makes me cringe every single time. I hate it.

to be clear. Do you think the prospective transsexuals seeing discussion like this might believe that HRT may cause them to menstruate? I find that incredibly hard to believe.

There's a big equivocation going on here. Claims of batman being fascist have little to do with most Comic book and Animation depictions. They are mostly inspired by the Dark Knight films which absolutely to have a reactionary ethic behind them

Ok, but let's think for a second about how a person would come to think that's what the word means.
And then let's cover our faces in shame
If straight men are generally attracted to you, you are female. If straight women are generally attracted to you, you are male.
It's literally that simple.
You simply CANNOT create such a pathetic little meowmeow bbygirl and expect me NOT to ship her with her protective affectionate adoptive big bro, and her angy angsty ideologically opposite bro

So you're telling me if a group of women needed a roommate, and refused to consider any men, they are legally liable? Why have I never heard of predatory men taking advantage of this?
Trans women
How do you feel when you catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror naked?
Do you cover yourself as soon as you get out of the shower just to avoid seeing yourself naked?
strong evidence for my childhood "low verbal intelligence people can't perceive the important differences between similar words and so believe that high verbal intelligence people are being pretentious when they're being precise" theory
How am I supposed to get a boyfriend without a male best friend who will fall in love with me and tell me he's always loved me, and that the chasers who just want to use me on the DL suck.
Young women's body image issues are not coming from porn. They're coming from Instagram. It's a cultivation effect, where the warped distribution of beauty portrayed through mass media is biasing people's perception of the real distribution, so that average people feel less than.
Radfems always talk about how porn ruins young girls' body image, but when I hear Gen X and Millennial women talk about how fucked up and damaging it was growing up in the 80s - 2000s, not a single one of them has ever cited porn as a reason for their body image issues. Ever.

You know what this makes me think of? And why I'm not sure I agree?
This. It just feels like a gendered-domain phenomenon to me. I have a feeling you guys aren't thinking about things like fashion & textiles.
