Pisces just means you constantly get demonetized on youtube because you say fetish instead of fettucini

cishet dude brain over here but this confuses me, wouldn't this person be intersex and not a "cis" woman?

You can be inter and cis (or inter and trans, i know several inter trans women). These are just completely different phenomena.

Inter (and its opposite, endo) is a purely biological category. Cis and trans are purely psychosocial ones, as they just mean if your gender identity matches your assigned gender at birth or not. Inter people can be men, women or nonbinary. If a person gets assigned female at birth, is raised as a girl, and identifies as a woman throughout her life, she doesn't stop being cis when she learns that she had XY chromosomes or internal testes all along, because she meets all the criteria of being cis. It just means she's an inter cis woman instead of an endo cis woman.

There's a lesson to be learned here. If you want to get the job done, don't go for anything less than the surprise grabby tumor tentacles.

The mafia analogy works really well if you play in a Camarilla-led city, but my group just got the Prince ousted to turn it into an Anarch domain and to be completely honest, i just play V:tM the same way i play Thirsty Sword Lesbians, except that i constantly make puppygirl jokes about the Gangrel player's character and really lean into the "Tremere are a trans metaphor" angle.

Edit:

Also some minor note on treating clans as internal groups within the Camarilla: This only really works if you play in a really large city with tons of vampires and handwave the masquerade breach potential of having hundreds of bloodsuckers running around town. Our campaign runs with the suggestions in the book and has a total sprawl-wide vampire population of 20-30 (we play in Hamburg, it's just nowhere near as huge and chaotic as LA or Mexico City and the lick population reflects that). You can't have a dozen internal divisions at that size. Two main factions (in our case, Camarilla and Anarchs) and a loose cannon here and there (like a former Sabbath shovelhead leading the local Bahari, which are mostly her ghouls and other humans) are much more likely at that scale, and anything else are outside forces like the 2nd Inquisition, Lupines or out of town vampires who are on the run from the purges in the UK and try to gain a foothold at the cost of established vampires. The only Tremere in the city are my blood witch and sometimes her sire when she isn't exporting revolutiion elsewhere, and a lot of clans just do not show up in our chronicle at all. Ventrue are larger and mostly the Venn diagram between them and the Camarilla is a circle, but the other clans do not have elaborate family structures and internal workings, it's usually just a sire, a childe and maybe one other person.

When people keep telling you that you pass, you most likely do, and you're most likely hella cute as well, because people conflate high passing and being conventionally attractive a lot. And some people, including a lot of trans women, just can't handle that. Our society teaches women to constantly monitor each others beauty and put each other down both when we're not pretty enough and too pretty, we're forced to constantly square the circle, to navigate this ridiculously narrow corridor between supposedly being an unsightly mess and supposedly being a shallow skank. And like most of mysogyny, that gets amplified further when you're trans. I keep hearing stories like yours and they're always from really beautiful trans girls who are resented for looking conventionally hotter or more cis-like than the person putting them down. Like, i just met this super cute trans girl and took her to a local meetup because she was afraid to go alone after some other trans woman had trash talked her for not doing enough about her voice at another get-together years ago - not only is that a horrible demand in general, voice work is hard and not everybody has the talent or the ressources or the time or the lack of voice dysphoria to pull through with it, no, she actually has a lovely voice, low-pitched but very smooth and feminine, a voice i could listen to all evening. But that other woman saw her and probably felt threatened and had to lash out. I had to think of that when you wrote about your ex.

And no, you're absolutely not a bad trans person for stealthing once in a while. It's a scary time we live in, and while it's important that we're visible and outspoken and let people know we're actual human beings they know and not just some abstract "gender ideology", it's hard to be visible 24/7. When you put yourself out there most of the time, and when you reflect the way you do when you do that, and give people the opportunity to learn, that's more than enough. From each according to their abilities also goes for activism, and there's no shame in not wanting to be in the trenches permanently. Our survival and continued existence in itself constitutes a revolutionary act. Reaction wants us dead and being alive as a trans person and living your best life in itself defies the necropolitics of today's fossil capitalism. Being able to take a break from the struggle is a form of privilege, as is being able to transition at all, or having enough money to pay out of pocket for surgeries, or living in a place with easier access to public trans health care, or being educated and able to articulate your existence in a convincing way, or being binary trans, or having had a supportive home and being able to accept yourself in ways other people can't because their parents didn't give them the love they would've deserved, or being a white trans person, or living in an area that makes it easier to access queer networks, but none of these are things you shouldn't use as tools for your survival if you're lucky enough to have them at your disposal. Cisfascism wants all of us dead, and we have a right to fight bacvk against it with anything we have at our hands, we should just be aware of and mindful towards people who don't share some of our privilege instead of throwing them under the bus like the actual assimilationists do.

tfw you want to be a gold star bisexual, but there's still genders you haven't slept with kitty-birthday-sad

[-] AcidSmiley@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

It came straight from the heart. I think i followed it up with a line about how i haven't gotten bottom surgery yet, but seeing V*ushs beard still makes me lose 2cm of depth from spontaneous vaginism.

Go play in traffic, you transphobic pig.

[-] AcidSmiley@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

Your insistence on ordering trans people around and telling us if we´re allowed to find open misgenderings to be offensive would be laughable if it wouldn't be so disgusting. Pronouns are not a polite request to pretty please tone down your transphobia out of the kindness of your heart, respecting our pronouns is the absolute bare minimum of respect you can show towards us.
