A community for transfeminine people and experiences.

This is a supportive community for all transfeminine or questioning people. Anyone is welcome to participate in this community but disrupting the safety of this space for trans feminine people is unacceptable and will result in moderator action.

Debate surrounding transgender rights or acceptance will result in an immediate ban.

Posters may express that they are looking for responses and support from groups with certain experiences (eg. trans people, trans people with supportive parents, trans parents.). Please respect those requests and be mindful that your experience may differ from others here.

To make such a request, at the start of the body of your post, not in the title, the first line should look like the this: [Requesting Engagement from _________]

I love how even his bullshit story was already damming to anyone who sees children as people. What a pathetic deadbeat narcissist.

damming to anyone who sees children as people.

I found my favorite comment of the week. Maybe even the month!

Using ableist slurs on bigots doesn't actually help. It just increases the amount of bigotry in the world and makes minorities feel even more unsafe. You can't "target" an ableist slur to only insult the person who deserves it. It inherently attacks the undeserving as well.

Narcissist isn’t a slur, and narcissism isn’t a disability. It’s a personality disorder. There is a difference.

Stop spreading misinformation.

It is often comorbid with other mental disorders and associated with significant functional impairment and psychosocial disability.[1]

It's a disability.

“Associated with” psychosocial disability. That means it can occur with disabilities, not that it is one.

Because it isn’t.

Hey, guys, what if we made "asshole" a protected class?

Literally every source, authority and dsm imagineable distinguishes nacissm and npd as separate things but sure, you, rando on the internet are the only correct one.

I might be out of touch here, but I'm confused as to what part of that was ableist? Not trying to be an asshole, just trying to figure shit out.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

None of it. This person regularly spreads misinformation like this and claims anything they disagree with to be slurs or ableism.

N*rcissist is a slur against people with NPD. It originates in pop culture with self help scams that told people their abusive friends and family had NPD. Also the etymology of the word begins with a Greek guy who was put to death by the gods for being asexual, so yikes.

Congratulations on having one of the worst takes I’ve ever seen (the one about narcissus).

Anyone who thinks a 16 year old deserved to die because he wouldn't date or sex anyone is probably a pedo.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Anyone who thinks "gods" "cursed" someone obviously needs training wheels.

I'm reading up to try and understand a bit more where you're coming from. Do you have any links that expand on this? Ableism is 100% unacceptable here, and I do understand how "narcissist" can be used as a pejorative or to dismiss someone who doesn't have NPD. I just hadn't heard it referred to as a slur before. So yeah if you could point me in the direction of some more info I'd appreciate that.
