you wanna play monhun and just beat up on the lil guys with me?

not to be a critic, but its crazy to me that they could not speak either TO or ABOUT the people affected by this ruling (trans girls in conservative areas) at all. a combination of transmisogyny and shitty reporting means that the takeaway from that segment seemed to be "well, it sucks, but at least blue states are still allowed to be accepting of trans youth" rather than the very real attempts to eradicate trans people from public life or the very real possibility of violent retaliation against trans girls in these states.

This means:

If you draw a hard line between "drug" and "medicine" based on current legality where you live (or any other criteria) you've gone wrong somewhere,

If you think legality and/or prescription status tells you all you need about a substance's capacity to do massive harm to someone's body, mind or well-being you've gone wrong somewhere,

If you think legality and/or prescription status tells you all you need about a substance's capacity to contribute meaningfully to someone's healing, function or happiness you've gone wrong somewhere,

on the other hand...

Her whole THING is freedom. She’s in the dark world in the first place to find her freedom in the body she just KNEW was her.

Plus, she directly parallels our relationship with Kris. She presents a solution to the problem we have with Kris, where the body and soul want something different. She presents the idea of working together and compromising, learning to love both sides of yourself. She is the freedom that we and Kris could potentially have.

Not to mention, Pink and Ralsei are parallels too! Pink knows who she is and what she wants, and Ralsei does not. Ralsei speaks directly to Pink’s problems like her dysphoria like they know what she’s going through. Ralsei is, at their core, envious of people who know what they want and are confident enough to take it. They NEED Pink’s fight, in a way, because it might help them become more secure.
