these are the people who had absolute conniptions when i noticed that everyone i was blocking for spreading lies about trans women doing transmedicalism had a furry pfp back in august
i want to read a book. said book is in front of me, i only need to go pick it up. i have been procrastinating on reading this book for weeks. i am writing this instead of just going to pick up the book, because my brain is fucking broken.

half of them have redefined transmed as "thinking transitioning and hrt are good" at this point, so i'm afraid their little brains are well and truly cooked
i guess, and i stress that no offense is intended, it seems almost like soft degendering yourself. like, i can grasp it intellectually, but there's a visceral rejection that i find really hard to shake.
