  • Have you read the bible? God is an unhinged maniac. He told people to cut their dick skin off, threatened zombies, OK’d slavery, drowned everyone because they were partying too hard, set everyone on fire because they were partying too hard, told women to obey men, tortured his #1 fan for funzies, called Israel a whore who sold herself to big-dicked Egyptians, non-consentually impregnated some guy’s wife, killed the kid, then brought the kid back to life, made a guy eat bread cooked over burning shit for I think a year? Told Adam and Eve to make incest babies and turned us all into incest babies, made an awesome fruit tree no one’s allowed to touch, let the Jews make soulless clay monsters, gave his angels an extra set of wings just to cover their genitals, which I think means angels can fuck.

    So yeah. I’m down with bringing God IRL.



  • Metamask is very beginner friendly and no different from setting up an e-mail.

    It’s called a “non-custodial” wallet, you control your funds so you don’t need ID. Custodial wallets are tied to exchanges that hold your funds, even though they belong to you, and all transactions are approved by the exchange. They follow KYC for legal reasons, like a stock exchange, but they’re also a bit safer to use.

    Since you’ll be doing peer to peer transactions, remember there are no backsies. Once you send money, it’s gone.

    You won’t be able to cash out at registered exchanges, so it’ll be tricky to get IRL money unless you have buyers you trust.

    I haven’t used these guys in a while, but they don’t need ID in Canada at least: https://coincards.com/

    Be safe out there. Don’t buy shit coins. Sign up for airdrops. Transfer fees go up and down throughout the day, it’s always cheaper to move larger volumes at night in North America.




  • It sounds like the root problem is not being able to leave the house.

    Do you know anyone who can escort you? Furthermore, “leaving the house while suicidal” isn’t a crime. You’re a legal adult, so unless there are measures in place the cops can’t force you to do anything. Even if they can bring you back, you can probably set some stuff up before they find you.



  • So you’re in your 20’s, in the states, and have never had a bank account?

    I won’t make assumptions about how that happened. I’m Canadian so I don’t know how helpful this will be since our regulations are a bit different, but have you tried just walking into a bank with everything you have and explaining the situation? If they can’t set up an account they should at least be able to point you in the right direction.

    In Canada we can get a driver’s learner permit with minimal ID. Birth certificate, SSN and proof of address should be enough. If you can get that you’ll have a government issued photo ID and you’ll be set. Alternatively, we can get a provincial ID with minimum documentation, if you can’t get a driver’s licence. There must be some equivalent in the states.

    Another option is to get someone to notorize a document and photo that says you are you. Just call a notary near you and ask how.


  • I like to say “relationships don’t end, they change.” I’m friendly with a lot of my exes for the same reasons I was into them in the first place.

    For others, the relationship changed into the kind without speaking or acknowledgement. Still pretty sure we’d be civil, if not friendly, if we got stuck in the same elevator. Probably because we all have abandonment issues and Machiavellian tendencies.



  • Fair enough and thank you for being civil. I responded to your claims by giving examples to back up my point, being specific because we’re discussing definitions.

    I’m a cis woman and I didn’t change anything. Gender has always been a shifting social construct and our understanding of sex has benefitted from research, as has my own understanding of sex over the years.

    Have a good one and I wish you luck. Please do check out pubmed (the earlier link I shared,) it has a lot of fantastic, accessible, peer reviewed research papers.


  • I can only argue with what you say. Since you used “man” and “male” interchangeably, my comment reflects that.

    This is called moving the goalposts, since your original comment in this thread was arguing with someone who said they’d changed genders. Now you seem to agree someone can change genders, so I donno why we’re still arguing.

    You said men couldn’t get pregnant, which is false. Then you said males couldn’t get pregnant, which is also false. Now you’re making this extremely specific claim:

    No person born a biological male with testies has ever been surgercally/chemically altered (meaning a womb transplant basically) enough to be able to be impregnated and give birth

    Which is a lot to unpack, and also incorrect. If we assume a “biological male with testes” is someone with XY chromosomes and gonads, yes, they have given birth. Look up XY Gonadal Dysgenesis, and you’ll find a small percentage of cases where women who are genetically male, occassionally with internal testes, who undergo hormone treatments and IVF to get pregnant. Some don’t have ovaries and have never menstruated.

    A person is always born with 1 sex more developed than the other, basically testies or ovaries…

    Is an ambiguous statement, and also not true. It really depends on how you define “developed” since sex traits aren’t always obvious in babies and a number of natural factors can drastically change those traits during puberty, even before taking into account medical intervention. Check out Guevadoces for one example.

    Why is it so important for you to be right? Shouldn’t it be kind of exciting that this sort of thing can happen?


  • I’m not offended. I’m disagreeing because your opinion is public.

    Unfortunately, you’re still conflating sex with gender. Gender is performative while sex is biological, and neither are dichotomous or fixed. That’s not my opinion, that is the modern, scientific understanding.

    You focused on one point in my reply and ignored the rest. You said men don’t get pregnant, but"man" is a gender, not a sex. People taxonomically called men have gotten pregnant, so that’s incorrect.

    The paper I linked was about genetic males getting pregnant, to prove that both men and genetic males can get pregnant. I have more peer reviewed research and on changing both sex and gender, if you’re interested.

    Are you open reading more on the subject and amending your opinion, or are you more interested in being right and holding onto your views? If it’s the latter, there isn’t a point to this conversation. A conversation which started when you told a trans person they can’t change gender.
