The original known usage of the actual attack helicopter was by a trans person showing the absurdity of people thinking we just claim to be and thus are. It was a bit of sarcasm to combat transphobia.
Unfortunately it back fired and transphobes picked it up and “I identify as x” has become a common attack against us,…

Here’s the thing. To you, it’s minor. It’s nothing.
To me... It’s Tuesday.
That’s the problem with micro aggressions or kind of offensive jokes like this one. They build up. They’re constant for those of us it affects and only occasional for those it doesn’t.
As I said before... in a vacuum it wouldn’t matter. In a…

It’s just fucking annoying. It’s something that’s constantly thrown around intending to mimic trans folks, but I’ve never heard a trans person say it outside of sarcasm.
Like, the tweet in a vacuum would be just... dumb. But the problem is we live in a society in which the statement is constantly and regularly used to…

The old “You don’t have to conform to stereotypes!!!! Transitioning just enables the binary!” arguments?
I’m always just like... “Yeah... that works for you. But fucking hell things need to change for me!”
I’m cool with the binary. It works for 99% of the population. If you don’t want to be part of the binary, go for…

Oh I’m good. Despite it all, I’ve got my shit together, 99% of the bullshit is in my rear view.
But thanks :)

They legitimately are...

I know you’re sarcastic, but the sad part is I’ve heard that very argument seriously said before.
It’s all just an arbitrary argument to deny us our identity. Even after surgery, it’ll be about the chromosomes. Even after scientists have proven chromosomes are only accurate 99% of the time, people still claim it’s the…

Not to mention those inserts are 8-10lbs.
Sure your kid’s back is all fucked up, but at least he/she didn’t get shot right?!

I think most PS4 games install to your hard drive and don’t require the disc once installed.  At least that’s been my experience.

When I was a teenager I had a bad shoplifting habit...
We stole bicycles and game consoles by flashing fake receipts and walking out the front door in plain view. When I worked for an electronics store, we had someone walk out with an entire shelf worth of printer ink and toner.

The old adage “Act like you’re supposed…

I’m weirded out by you saying “Pop the disc back in”... does any PS4 game actually utilize the discs anymore?

But yeah... World was a fun update, love the graphics, but grinding the same 3-4 elder dragons over and over was mind numbing and unchallenging. Farming the Wyverns wasn’t a ton better because they had almost…

That’s the biggest complaint AND the biggest draw for MH.
Since the first game, folks, particularly westerners, have complained about the system’s clunky controls, unstoppable animations, long attacks and slow mechanics.
But most fans of the game, myself included, will tell you that’s why we love it.  The long,…

Yep. The new engine meant no reusing of assets. Everything had to be remade from the ground up and quite a few bits of the game took significantly larger teams. (Graphics were way more complicated, AI teams had a lot more work with interactions, etc)
Even in the move from PSP to 3DS, a lot of assets could be modified,…

I played the mobiles and as nice as World looks, it’s quite easy to get used to the mobile graphics, even the DS ones.
I miss the crazy variety and challenge from the mobile ones though. World was specifically designed for a simplified experience for the western audience. It also made the game significantly easier with…

Hate them to freaking death...
Swimming mechanics are almost always slow, clunky and frustrating.  MH3 did not change that.

Do me a favor... define “Accurate” Because updating to an F may have been accurate to me, but for many Americans, that would make it inaccurate or wrong. You may not realize this, but most people have a different idea of when, or how, or even IF, I count as a woman.

And I’ve seen it go both ways, with the same person.…

Generally this means they present and live their lives as their identified gender. The exact definition can change, but above is the most common usage.

Nah, that would never happen. Because those are good, proper submissive wives.
It’s the crazy feminists who keep their names, or hyphenate, those are the fucking problem.

Accidentally transphobic is still transphobic shit heel. And it came about “accidentally” because states have intentionally made it it difficult for trans people to update their information.
Jesus christ, I’ve read article after article and seen multiple court cases talking about how voter ID laws are racist and…

For those wondering, it can be a serious pain in the ass to change your ID status, particularly in more conservative states.
CO is pretty awesome about it, but I have still have to
1. Schedule an appointment with my doctor.
2. Get her to write out a letter for me
3. Go to the Social Security Office, update records
4. Go to…
