i work at an lgbtq therapy clinic and we do actually have folks coming in for help with de-transitioning because they thought in order to be trans, they really did have to take hormones/get surgery and as the nb folks they've all been, they didnt want to actually or at least the full effect that they went for. we absolutely need to fight for the access to medical transition care for trans folks of all kinds, but we need to fight for full body autonomy and freedom. folks should not have to fucking pass to be valid, and they shouldn't have to go through any aspect of transition that they dont want to in order for our own fucking community to accept them. we're fighting for folks to be themselves and thats gonna involve women who don't take estrogen and women who not only dont shave religiously, but who grow out facial hair because they like it and want to.

you cant make other folks look a way to make you feel comfortable with yourself, that is internal growth that needs to happen, no matter who that is coming from or why

One of those days where strictly speaking things have been going pretty well, but oughghg. Oujghghgh.

Get the whole pride out

if you give your fursona wings and have them attached at their hips they're not going to be able to generate enough lift to get airborne unless you also give them the biggest, meatiest ass and absolutely shredded abs, it's an important character detail you'll need for a more believable design

it's like with bipeds with digitigrade legs, you've lost the stability of an ankle that rests on the ground and now that work has to be done with the thighs and glutes with a leverage disadvantage, so it takes a fair bit of muscle mass

you: suggesting elements of a character design
me: "Hmm, better make them caked up beyond all reason if you're gonna do that."

we owe it to ourselves. we need to counteract every game protagonist who can carry a small militia's worth of weapons at a full sprint and has extremely jacked arms but no ass
