I delayed realizing I'm a man by telling myself I was nonbinary for several years. That doesn't mean that portrayals of nonbinary people who are happily nonbinary are harmful to me, or that they're repressing.

I'm pointing out that self-defense is not limited to "against a person".

The latter is executive dysfunction. If you don't want medication, that's alright, but you will benefit from strategies to manage it.
These can include:
-making it easier. If you struggle to put dirty laundry in the laundry basket, move the basket to where you can more easily reach it.
-breaking down the task. Instead of saying "I need to respond to all of my emails." you can start with "I need to respond to this specific email."
-giving yourself time to switch tasks. "I need to do this right now" is often harder than "Okay, in three minutes, I need to have finished what I'm doing so i can switch tasks."
-countdowns. Your brain is kind of primed to do something at the end of a countdown because of how we use them socially. Think of what you want to do, then think or say a countdown. Five, four, three, two one, go is my default.

I'm fairly sure they're joking

Believe me, 20 seconds of agony is MORE than worth it to just never have to worry about surgery and surgery complications, access to HRT, and being clocked.

Guess you'll just need to keep having rematches.

Good luck with your rematch.

I'm afraid this is just not true.

Stratt also says that if they need Minesweeper for Windows 3.1, they have it. I think it's safe to say that they have a lot of miscellaneous odd shit.

This one depends on hair type. Curly hair should definitely not be washed every day.

Pay closer attention to people who ask to go by a different name or pronouns if they stop asking. Especially kids. Recloseting is more common than detranstition.
Doesn't have to be anything big. Just let them know you're happy to call them what they want to be called. Goes a longer way than you think.

Two things can be true.

Most interactions with video games are done by playing them.

Well, if you figure out what you want from them, you can seek it in other people.

If you liked Eriddit, I recommend that you look at the author's bookmarks- that's the secret to finding fic you like, I find.

I’m going to do my best to explain this in a logical way. Please feel free to ask questions about any part of this that is unclear to you.
Society at large sets up a “man” box and a “woman” box. Different individuals and different cultures set different boundaries on exactly where those boxes are, with some people even allowing the boxes to overlap. Some have more possible gender-based boxes. But overall, people agree the boxes exist and are a way of sorting people. I don’t know any culture without gender-based boxes, though I’d be interested if there is one.
Nonbinary people are not looking at the boxes and going “Yes, I agree, men and women should be sorted like this.” They’re looking at the boxes presented to them by their specific cultural context, and going “Neither of these are me.” This is usually for the same reason that binary trans people do, that they feel some kind of dysphoria or disconnect from being treated as a man or as a woman, and/or euphoria from being treated as neither. (This is an oversimplification, and doesn’t get into multigender people at all)
Gender is cultural, and someone who is nonbinary in their home culture might not have been if they were raised in one where they fit in one of the boxes. Or they might not fit in the gender boxes for any known culture or standards, and be nonbinary no matter what.
In short, being nonbinary is not an endorsement of the gender binary. It is a recognition of how one relates to the binary as it was presented to them. On a social and systemic level, this sometimes, but not always, will be affected by how the gender binary was presented to them growing up.

That's not even close to the main reason people hate trans women, but it probably isn't helping her specifically.

You can invoke self-defense as a clause against animal abuse.

I generally see it used as "nonbinary person I don't think is androgynous enough".

iirc the highest observed rates were for AFAB nonbinary people.

Orbital mechanics aren't that complex honestly.
Being a GNC trans man is... not the same thing as not transitioning. At all.
