    Pretty sure he does that because he wants to limit the governments’ power to control people’s finances, which from his perspective after seeing how untrustworthy these powerful institutions are, I can understand his desire for it. I don’t agree with him on cryptocurrency stuff, but I do understand his perspective and how one would come to that conclusion.




  • Transintolerant people don’t care about the wellbeing of trans people because they don’t see them as people in a similar way racists don’t see minorities as people. The transintolerant people in your life delude themselves into thinking they are helping by trying to convince you not to transition because they subconsciously believe you will lose your humanity once you transition. This is the same reason gay kids were subjected to punishment by their homointolerant parents including literal torture, because the parents believe that being gay makes you less of a human and they think they are saving your humanity.

    If you’re an adult, they have less power over you, and it’s perfectly reasonable to distance yourself from them, or cut off contact entirely for your own well being.

    As a cis guy, I may never know what it feels like to come to such a realisation, but I can empathise and support my friends who go through with this kind of experience, and I believe that it is the duty of people like myself who are in a better place to support the ones who aren’t by both directly supporting trans people emotionally and also to attempt to educate transintolerant people to be more accepting.


  • At least now you know what has been eating you for so long. Like Morpheus said to Neo in the movie The Matrix:

    Neo: I can’t go back, can I? Morpheus: No. But if you could, would you really want to?

    You can’t unlearn it, it would only hurt you more trying to pretend like nothing has changed. I hope the people in your life will support you through this.
