The Hammered achievement for Divinity Original Sin 2 which you achieve by defeating an endgame boss in your first encounter with them in act 1. I used a very cheesy method where I chain teleported the boss and her minions on to a rock in the middle of the sea. And then my archer who was on a cliff type thing on the other side of the beach slowly shot them to death. It was very funny!

Does any of this advice change if you add humidity into the mix? Like in coastal areas where it can get really hot?

https://transreads.org is an excellent place to find literature that interests you. i'd recommend Captive Genders and also Normal Life as good starting points.

i did not say that cis men do not live under patriarchy. when i say "we", i mean all human beings, i am not cis nor a man.

i'm not talking about this from the perspective of a white person living in the west. it is certainly true that white supremacy, capitalism, imperialism, settler-colonialism and patriarchy all work together to oppress certain classes of cis men. however, this does not mean that these classes of cis men share the same level of power as gender-oppressed people in their communities. and again, the oppression that cis men of these specific classes is NOT rooted in some fictitious shared oppression of all cis men. it is fueled by racism, white supremacy, colonialism, the imposition of the Euro-Western sex/gender binary.

i do not agree with what you are saying about all cis men being demonized due to being seen as inherently predatory. i do not see any historical basis for it. that's beside the point, i don't care if you believe this.

what i was trying to illustrate is that OP's assertions are sweeping away trans people's actual struggles under systems of power by falsely attributing the origin of their oppression to societal views on cis men. even if you were to accept that all cis men are seen as predatory, it is in fact transmisogyny that leads to the view that trans women are perverts or predators or whatever, not the societal idea of all cis men as predators that i've accepted as true for the sake of argument!

i would also argue that is deeply harmful and misguided to attribute trans people's oppression to the notion that society deems men as inherently toxic. i suggest further engagement with transfeminist literature to better understand the structures that maintain trans people's oppression.

i agree that trans liberation is tied to liberation for all. but trans people's oppression is NOT rooted in some toxic ideas about cis men. it IS rooted in transmisogyny and anti-transmasculinity. trans people are seen as predators specifically due to transmisogyny and anti-transmasculinity, because transness is viewed as predatory, not because of some notion that all cis men are seen inherently as sexual predators. if it were the case that all cis men were treated as inherent sexual predators, we would not be living under patriarchy, and there would be mass movements to kill cis men and cis masculinity, to enforce and maintain law that strip the rights of cis men, to curtail cis men's involvement in all economic, social, political spheres of life. that is clearly not the case. the root of trans oppression is related to transmisogyny and anti-transmasculinity, NOT distrust of cis men.
