    Guy with a nuralink cut me off in traffic, so I took out my flipper zero and made him gender dysphoric.

        It’s a near certainty, if you want your brain implant to be able to communicate with any device outside your skull. If it has Bluetooth or NFC then that’s a vulnerability vector.

    This feels like a whole mixed bag of a message, IMHO. Hey learn empathy, but also witches make folks transcast body dysmorphia. Maybe I’m missing it.

      The witch turned the creep into a woman and the spell was complete by the time she flew away. Unfortunately, like many women, the creep was born with the body of a man (she’s AMAB). Maybe the witch could have changed her body, too, but that would have made things far too easy, given that the point of the curse was to teach her empathy.

      One witch made one man trans. It doesn’t mean that the mission of all witches is to give out gender dysphoria, nor does it mean that trans people are trans because a witch did it. Life assigns these sorts of things apparently at random anyway.

      I mean, a true sceptic could imagine that the witch in this comic had no magical power at all, but her words filtered down through the man’s psyche to where he has always been struggling with his identity, and they gave him the excuse to face it.

      I think it pokes against a popular idea of transforming into opposing sex. So many men imply that they would be transformed into a hot attractive woman. Not an unattractive one.

      Witches do all sorts of things for curses, that doesn’t necessarily mean that the conditions don’t exist outside of witch curses. I don’t think many people would disagree that being trans sucks, though, they just disagree about what it actually is and what to do about it.

          Being trans sucks, like being left-handed in a world for right-handed people does.

          There is nothing inherently wrong with it, the problem is all the people trying to police your body.

            IMO, being trans would be bad even if other people were all supportive. Transitioning is a lot of effort and no one ever wants to have dysphoria.

              This was the turning point where I started actively defending gays about two decades ago. Before then I didn’t really care I was younger and it wasn’t really in my life.

              But if you’re going to tell me that some middle/high schooler is going to choose bullying by assholes by announcing (or someone finding out) that they’re gay there’s no fucking way you’re going to tell me that’s by choice. Leave the damn kid alone.

              Of course there’s more details than that but that’s the gist of it. It’s hard enough as it is leave them alone, it’s none of your business.

          How many trans people would choose to be trans, instead of being assigned the gender they’re transitioning to at birth? Obviously that doesn’t really work vor enbies, but AFAIK enbies are a minority among trans people.

            Me. Before I transitioned, and in my early days of transition, sure, I’d have made that choice if it were available to me. But now, years in? Fuck no. I don’t want to be cis.

    My first thoughts went to a hyper-fixation on weight and presentation/musculature/grooming. All the negatives of being/wanting-to-be a woman today, with none of the perks, and potentially no resolution.

      You’re downvoted, but as far as the behavior of the cursee is concerned, nope. She’s still the same jerk she was before, just with a different gender. It isn’t said whether or not her sexuality was changed as well.

        What I trying to express is: men also have self perception body related issues and often, that’s the root of insecurities towards women.
