Okay Guild Wars Reforged kinda surprised me and got me to impulse purchase it.
The funny thing is I have so many memories of GW but only the arena because the "PvP-Only Character" got to start at the level cap lol.

If I had a nickle every time I heard this I would have 2... because I just had therapy monday and heard it there too 😔
idk who needs to hear this, but you spent most of your life minimizing yourself as a survival strategy and you don't yet fully realize how your refusal to make decisions makes it harder for people to connect with you

Telling a trans man he is "female" and must use the women's restroom, then attacking him for doing so is a mirror of the 'logic' applied to arrest a trans woman for being topless and then put her in a men's prison.
Our sex can be whatever is most rhetorically convenient for cis people to punish.

The rules are there to put trans people in impossible situations because the aim is to punish us for existing as trans people in the world. The logical contradictions and impracticalities are the point.

I sometimes get the impression that people believe trans men to be at less risk of transphobic violence than they actually are.
By dint of being trans, both trans men and women are prone to being degendered and constructed as a predatory, sexual threat to women, against whom violence is justified.

I think people saying trans men should use women's public toilets to make a point should realise what they're asking trans men to risk.

This Trans Man Was Just Trying to Pee. He Was Assaulted and Arrested.
He was told to use that restroom by the facility’s owner.

this feels like another iteration of the "what if I give a homeless man money and he buys booze" thing. So then he bought booze, so what, you are not his personal life coach. You did your bit now go live your life.
Balancing "no person with a disability should be denied accommodations" with "it's important to discourage non-disabled people from pretending to be disabled to take advantage of these accommodations" is really difficult and I don't have a great answer for what anyone should do about it.

Asking for accommodations is a universally humiliating experience in a way that no one who doesn't need it will even care to attempt to abuse it.
This is not a handicap space in front of the store, there is no tangible benefit for abled people to get treated so poorly for an extra testing day.

You can solve nearly all confusion about geographical distance when talking to Europeans by simply adopting the Poland as a unit of measurement. Example: "I haven't been to any of the conventions on the west coast, because they are at least 3 Polands away from where I live."
