So I understood, this is another situation of “people assume of others what they know about themselves”.

Everything that Juni tells Sayeon is what she thinks a younger her should have been told and warned about to not make some terrible mistakes. It is quite possible that Juni, when she was acting as her cell’s leader, made some bad decisions during missions while in the rush to get promoted to level 5, which led to her friends dying. She thinks Sayeon is doing the same mistakes and is doing her best to stop her from doing so.

What she doesn’t realize is that:

- Sayeon does not have a need of perfection due to normal insecurities (or whatever influenced Juni pre-corps, although we don’t know how her life was like). Her perfectionism is rooted in heavy trauma with her criminal family.

- Sayeon is not obsessed with gaining points just to climb the hierarchy, she has greater plans to reform/control the Corps as well as personal goals of revenge.

- She is not ignorant of the possible death of her teammates and is not prone to momentary mistakes thanks to her Gift. (Although that might not help her forever and someone could die.)

2) this is a very badly-conceived question unless you're literally only asking like. KIDS. Because that is such a HUGE gap to the point of the question being laughable. A 13yo, the youngest age someone can have an account on tumblr to vote on this poll, would need to have a 52yo friend to vote "yes". By the time they're 16, they'd need to have a 64yo friend. the 18-24 demo is (i believe) the largest on the site. I don't think most 18-24yos have friends in the 72-96yo range.

I'm not saying that's impossible, obviously, but like... it's VERY unlikely. Plus once you pass 29, you officially can simply no longer have a friend 4x your age, given that the oldest (age independently verified) living person is 116.

(side note but shout out to Jeanne Calment of France, 1875-1997, oldest recorded and independently verified person to ever live, at 122 years. She lived on her own until she was 110, met van Gogh when he moved to her hometown of Arles, France when she was a teenager, and recorded a spoken word musical album shortly before she died. Absolutely fantastic.)

Catalpa is the anglicized version of the Muscogee Creek/Mvskoke word for the tree.

Something else I have noticed on top of what you describe is that very often transmascs (of any ‘type’, gender identity, sexuality, and so on) that are not medicalized or not medicalized enough to pass are ALSO sidelined and dismissed, if not outright treated with hostility, in LGBT+ spaces, including ones that explicitly say they are 'trans inclusive'. So we are also sidelined if a person in these spaces deems us to be 'too cishet', but in the opposite sense - too much like a cis woman whose masculinity is not 100% irrefutable and unclockable.

And this applies not just to transmascs that choose to have a more 'feminine' gender presentation, but also just as much to transmascs that DO style themselves as masculine as possible but get still read as ‘tryhard girls wanting to feel special’ by onlookers entirely because of physical characteristics they cannot (yet) change such as facial features, voice, height, visible breasts even through binders &/or tape, body fat distribution, etc.

So we’re essentially damned if we do and damned if we don’t: we either aren’t trying hard enough and are silly little girl interlopers bothering the Real Queers or, the second we start to pass a bit too well, we’re evil rapey threats scaring the Real Queers.

This is what a real, qualified OBGYN will tell you about what women feel when they get an abortion
