Reminds me A LOT of Porpentine's work, and they're like the GOAT of interactive fiction, so this is a big complement.

I would do anything to get a whiff of the fakeussy

You're so goated fr

Critique is important, but imo we shouldn't be critiquing the person's identity, but rather critique of their actions. *Do whatever you want, as long as what you are doing does not interfere with another's ability to do whatever they want*.

In my own belief philosophy, it is fundamentally none of my business how you identify, because I am not you. There are terms that are used as identities that I personally don't love, so I DON'T USE THEM. We shouldn't be our own Gender Cops, we shouldn't have cops at all!

If you identify as a lesbian and use they/them pronouns: you're valid.
If you identify as a trans woman but also a twink but in a girl way but also sometimes in a femboy way: you're valid (that's me btw)
If you identify as [x] but also [y] but also [z]: you're valid

That's a really good point!

OH I don't like that. We shouldn't be separating non-binary identities into their own binary???? It's not "non-binary but was a man" and "non-binary but was a woman" because that's intensely problematic and also IRRELEVANT.

exactly, I feel like a lot of discourse uses the concept of intersectionality as a way to classify others, rather than a way to classify yourself. I find the most value in using it to show how I am privileged in some ways, and not in others.

Also maybe I'm dumb but I don't know what the "fab" is meant to represent? Fab as in fashion? If that's the case, it feels like it operates in the same rhetorical space as "transtrender" and that makes it pretty clear why it's not a term I personally think should be in our discourse at all.

Personally as a AMAB Trans Woman, I've only ever heard boymoder as a self-described term for Trans Women who don't present as female publicly for whatever reason. It doesn't feel particularly derogatory in the contexts I've seen it used, whereas theyfab feels different to me in some way.

try to lift people up who share different lived experience than us. On another note, I'm gonna skedaddle from this conversation, as it feels very aggressive in only one direction. Peace out.

I believe that policing identity and placing privilege on a hierarchy is never valuable. I don't view intersectionality as a way to "rank people as more or less privileged" I view intersectionality as a way to understand that we are all oppressed, and we are all the oppressor. We just work to...

I would answer that question with "Maybe? I don't know, I'm not them." Then, I would flip the question back on you: Do you believe that an AFAB person of any identity who transitioned later in life has even more to unlearn? I don't think there's any value in the question on either front personally.

We don't know if they are going by they/them pronouns for this reason, and we will never know, so in my opinion, we just don't make any sort of judgements on the internal reasons for their identity.

I guess to be clear, the phrasing I consider as some form of identity policing is this: "but goes by they/them pronouns, *esp when they want to win arguments or talk over* binary trans men and — esp — trans women"...

up until the age of 16, so I have a lot of conditioning that I need to unlearn. That doesn't make me an intrinsically "bad" or "good" person, but it is a level of privilege that I have. I was raised to believe that my voice holds more power than others, and that is problematic.
