casting a wide net here because i am seriously so lost and the internet is not helping. i tried going to sublime's website and all i got was a lot of pretty words signifying nothing i can actually understand.

seriously this is confusing.

what the devil is transpecies?

It's hard to describe. I just didn't feel good being there.

[kamiizumi]

Hopefully they figure that out, because I doubt anyone else is going to convince them about it.

Idealism

not in the sense of optimism but the philosophy that the world is created by ideas

so they deny the material reality of mutanthood and try to turn it into this abstract thing

[kickstart_my_heart]

weird...

[kickstart_my_heart]

we could. we could show them a better way.

[kickstart_my_heart]

probly makesem feel better bout ther own lives. at least a littl

[scorchedchivalry]

That is one of Professor Xavier's goals for this school and the X-Men.

[kickstart_my_heart]

then lets get a group together for outreach! let them know there's no shame in being who they are!

[friendofdorothy]

Well it's nice to know I can comfort people with the false notion that, as a mutant, I'm someone worth imitating

I was making a bad joke about the giant bat-like evil-looking wings on my back.

Ever had a moment where you thought you would've been better off not knowing?

This is probably gonna be one of those.

[kickstart_my_heart]

when you feel that low, even the lives of marginalized people seem enviable.

[kickstart_my_heart]

i thought they were cute

[kickstart_my_heart]

cant agree with that. this is the kind of thing that tests us as people, isnt it?

[kamiizumi]

I've seen my brother argue with people on the internet.

[And it's soul-crushing.]


...no, though, jokes aside, I see what you mean. Showing people a better way is a good idea, I think. If they're willing to open their eyes far enough to see it.

[friendofdorothy]

it helps them to have an origin point for their misery

it makes a terrible sense

[And so does projecting!]

[diabhal_beag]

Well, they can be, but the mythological interpretations of them aren't exactly nice and friendly, you know?

[hearmyfeels]

I furget people don't do it much. My friends on tumblr were puretty bad about it.

But yes! I think it's one of more out there trans ideas. It's mostly wishful thinking. Kids wanting to be xmen and stuff.

[scorchedchivalry]

You have lost me.

[kickstart_my_heart]

its worth a try.

[kickstart_my_heart]

which is why i think these people need our help

[kickstart_my_heart]

still cute

[kickstart_my_heart]

or people who feel so bad off they envy mutants

[kickstart_my_heart]

these people obviously feel low if they envy mutants enough to want to be like us. we need to show them a better way. itll help bridge mutant human relations, wont it?
