UPDATE: Thank you everyone who has responded and commented. Aside from a few really rude people, you have all been very insightful, kind, and helpful. Thank you for giving me some grace and not completely lashing out on me. I’ve gained a lot of understanding from everyone especially from those who are trans, you’ve taught me a lot on what it’s like for you.

I have decided that I’m not going to tell her how I feel and support her as her best friend. especially since talking it through with all of you I’ve changed my mind on the matter. I also found I was probably being too sensitive about it and she’s just trying her best just as well as I am too. I will however probably delicately talk to her about how it could be dangerous to say this in front of people in public though as some of you’ve have stated that people could get aggressive.

I’m happy that most of you were able to understand my intentions are/were not malicious whatsoever. Just like some of you’ve said I am also growing as a person as well which is why I try to be mindful about these things. I will not be responding or replying to posts that are just trying to aggravate or stir the pot. This is not the place for that Smile your hate is not appreciated.

Brainwashing complete. Your friend will be safer  now that is cuddle by you and strangers on the internet. His delusions will be kept in private so you can feel good about your online social standing.

I don’t know her. I saw the pic in the morning and just scrolled past down. I felt bad about it given that I don’t know her circumstances.

I can mock fat people when is obvious that they are fat because the lack of care and bad eating habits. But when they get on wheelchair or other disabilities I feel sad, but that is my personal opinion, obviously.

Showed my kids (10 and 9) who both love Bluey. Both unimpressed, said "It looks like AI" and "We're not going to see that." So I may have to go on my own.

No, Coco was terrible and Encanto was very solid. I just wrote the wrong name haha.

Of course, it's visually great, like all of Pixar's stuff. It's not like the film has no positive aspects, but the way they handled the actual narrative content was dastardly. The good version of this same trick is the opening sequence of Up, which produces similar results but earns them wholly. It's a pity the rest of Up had to come after it!

My Best friend is trans and refers to the stomach cramps you get from HRT as “periods”

Hello, I (23f) had a conversation with my best friend (27f) about HRT and how it causes PMS like symptoms and how it’s caused. At one point she said “I can’t wait to have my first period! It’s gonna be so funny we’re gonna be watching a movie and I’ll just randomly get a cramp and die lol”.

I did a lot of research on the subject because I wanted to be as knowledgeable as possible and when it comes to cramps specifically HRT can cause physical stomach cramps but the way it happens is a little different from cisgender women. For cisgender women, estrogen affects the smooth muscle within the uterus when it’s shedding its uterine lining. It’s why we have cramps but it’s deeply tired to our uterus. For trans women it cramps due to the estrogen affecting the smooth muscle within the stomach and intestines. So when there’s a large amount of estrogen it affects the way those muscles contract and often weakens them as well. And of course the more emotional symptoms of PMS also happen because inserting estrogen in your body is going to mess with your hormones a lot and your hormones mess with your emotional. A term I hear some trans women say is “HRT cycle” to describe it but I digress..

It made me feel uncomfortable and slightly offended to hear her say that? Obviously, I don’t feel or want to make her or anyone else to feel less of a woman. I also understand that what trans woman feel physically and emotionally while on HRT (estrogen) is VERY real and the symptoms are also very real and I respect that.

I feel like calling it a “period” (menstrual period) is kind of wrong. Because it isn’t a menstrual period. As a cis woman I feel like my experience as someone who deals with a uterus and the struggles with my cramps and specifically physical blood lost, involuntary biology (just being born this way and not being able to change this, and navigating menstrual stigma, pregnancy fears, birth control side affects, and eventually menopause are my own? I’m not sure how to describe it. I don’t want to offend anyone or sound like I’m transphobic because I’m frankly not. And these feelings are quite conflicting for me. I guess using the term “period” in the way she did as well almost felt like it minimized how it feels for cis woman? Like she’s excited for it and can’t wait for it to happen to her and to me it’s just like. It’s not a good thing for most women. It’s not “fun” and for her to treat it like it kind of is makes me feel weird about it. I’m also aware that this is just something I’m feeling of course but I also feel like quite a few cis women feel the same way?

I guess I’m wondering what I should do about this? Should I just ignore how I feel and keep our friendship as amazing as it already is? Do I even tell her I feel this way? Shes my best friend and I don’t want to come off like I’m minimizing her womanhood either. I want to be very mindful about this and I want to be a good friend as well. Any advice is appreciated.

CLARIFICATION: one thing people mentioned a lot was how much they were excited for their periods. This was entirely a surprise to me just because most of the people in my life hate it so I had also grown to also wish to never get it. So, that also gave me some insight on why she would be excited over this milestone.

Who was the trans Ree that claimed they get periods?

I've never known a cis woman to look forward to getting their period. One of my ex girlfriends suffered crippling period cramps that basically had her bedridden for days.

just girly things lol

It's flagrant emotional manipulation and I was actually offended that the movie, which to that point had been aggressively boring me, had the audacity to try and tap into my unrelated life experience to try and win me over in the conclusion.

Literally everything is a gooner game to these projecting retards.

You're saying you're not tired of having to masturbate to everything in gaming? It's like endless, I go on social media and see something in gaming I have to jerk off to. Like how are we supposed to not when there's bare midriffs like this? Everyone knows that's a dogwhistle for "target to shoot your cum here" and then on top of it they got her showing leg too? If that's not an invitation for a gangbang I don't know what is, it's borderline bare feet and we all know what that means. These sick racist pervert developers know exactly what they're doing. I'm practically begging to find out games used AI so all this porn shit in the games is no longer attractive.

[Boredfrom]

What I haven't seen mentioned is how Arday responded when people raised questions. A journalist working on the plagiarism story got hit with a letter from Carter-Ruck an aggressive defamation firm, and the story got killed. Another academic who flagged inconsistencies in his published research ended up getting contacted by police, after Arday accused him of bullying.

That's not a man caught off guard by unfair scrutiny. That's someone who knew exactly which levers to pull to try to make the questions stop.

And the underlying conduct was serious. Plagiarism in his PhD thesis. Quotes in published papers lifted from other people's research and passed off as his own interview subjects. A memoir built partly on claims that don't hold up. None of that happened to him. He did it.

It's a genuine tragedy, and there's no question bad actors piled on. But sympathy for how this ended shouldn't erase the facts that got us here

You can't find this to be that genuine of a tragedy if you felt the need to type all of this. What point are you even trying to make?

 

 We can never forget that Black victims who are murdered by racist systems are flawed individuals. We need to be nuanced and objective.

Feels like a part of a larger sarcastic post but she got lazy because she would need to read about the dude actions to defend him.

“Yeah, the system murdered him and… something about suing reporters… not talking until level… not going to read his autobiography.”

[Boredfrom]

Oh, I forgot that Nepenthe will also call the Filth for help if she feels bullied.

[benji]

A fraud killing himself when he's found out is not a "racist system" murdering anyone. Arday was facing losing everything, his entire career, all his status, etc. and he would never be able to regain anything close. Of course someone like him would contemplate suicide in that situation. Especially if he was mentally ill or even autistic as people suspect.

She's not even talking about the real "racist system" of affirmative action/DEI/etc. that elevated this fraud to that status in the first place purely because he was Black and a fraud simply because he could repeat phrases that made the largely white and largely progressive elite feel like good people. That racist system failed by giving him a PhD in the first place and not harshly treating his rampant lies rather than dismissing or justifying them.

She erases the humanity of not just those people but Arday himself in order to make him a blameless victim of bad luck and different systemic issues in order to justify her pre-existing worldview based on complete nonsense from someone with little life experience or knowledge outside her narrow station. A worldview that itself exists solely to explain why Nepenthe isn't on top of the hierarchy by dint of birth.

[benji]

They don't even understand the media feeding frenzy over this other than their pre-conceived conspiracy theory reasoning. It was a perfect story in which there were obvious good guys (the media in their favorite role) and bad guys with no complications fitting into pre-existing narratives. All with people determined to keep the story going by obstructing and defending something so obvious. That kept coming out with new details as people looked into Arday more like his absurd memoir that contained even more lies than the already absurd public ones.

And they're continuing to be the bad guys by trying to make the story into some grander campaign against an imagined enemy instead of individual fraud gets found out and other people do dumb things to cover their asses. You're not being good guys by trying to chastise the media and anyone else from exposing frauds. Especially when your entire argument is "don't expose frauds if they're the right demographics!" Yeah, that will never go wrong in a system you claim is dominated by white supremacists and fascists. Let's definitely continue that so people like multi-millionaire Donald Trump can continue to elevate himself by being willing to lie to the media and them overlook it because it flatters their priors.

"But they don't expose that because he's white!!!" Yeah, so you're just bitching that some people get away with shit so everyone should be able to? That's stupid. You're literally reasoning like offended children. "IT'S NOT FAIR!" You're arguing for other people to benefit from lying. That's literally what you're complaining about yet you're defending it as a good thing! "I just want different looking people to benefit from lying! That will make me feel better for some reason, I am very smart and very angry!"

The only reason why Nepenthe is not a multimillionaire rich artist is because she is black in a system that hates her. Not because she wants to draw furry art and porn doujins of her favorite fictional character.
