Didn't have a chance to write up a detailed post, either on a fruit or the topic I was originally thinking about. I think they're neat and they taste good.

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.
Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.
Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.
Real!! I understand wanting to be stealth and just be cis, but tbh I can't help but think the trans people assimilating are losing some of the most important parts of being trans. It's something special, not something to hide away.
Agree! I love being trans!
And I understand wanting to be safe and wanting to not have to deal with transphbic comments, worry about violence, etc. But assimilation isn't a real path towards that, only dismantling patriarchy is.
dysphoria/suicide
Not everyone considers it something special. I fucking hate being trans, I just see it as a terrible curse and a burden I'll have to bear for the rest of my life. I'll never be able to have kids, I'll likely never find a boyfriend, much less get married. Having to waste so much time and money on transitioning. There is no joy, only terrible dysphoria for me, and the thought of having to be trans for the rest of my life makes me sick to my stomach. I've already decided that if I'm not 100% stealth by the age of 25 then I'll off myself.
