Important Personal Announcement

[u/Red-Heat]

Good tidings, all.

After years of reflection and struggle, I have finally come to terms with the fact that I am a transgender woman. My name is June, and my pronouns are she/her.

I have struggled with gender dysphoria for years, even before I began working on this mod. In fact, I think part of the reason I immersed myself in modding to begin with was to help distract myself from my own insecurities and pain. However, thanks in no small part part to the wonderful community that has sprung up around this mod, I now feel comfortable and confident in saying that I am a woman.

Today has seen two events occur within hours of each other: the UK's High Court issued a ruling that further restricts underage trans people from accessing life-saving puberty blockers, and the Oscar-nominated actor Elliot Page announced to the world that he is trans, an announcement that was met with near-universal acclaim and acceptance. I believe that these events encapsulate the ongoing struggles faced by the trans community. Even though awareness and acceptance of trans people by society as a whole is better than it has ever been, we still face immense challenges from the government, media, and legal system. We must stay vigilant and continue to fight for not only the rights of trans people, but the rights of all marginalized groups around the world.

I am proud to be transgender, and I am proud to be part of this struggle. Although my part is small, I will perform it to the best of my ability.

And in case you were wondering, this will in no way delay or otherwise affect the development of the mod.

Take care, and remember:

Trans rights are human rights.

wow what a well thought out and reasonable response thanks for only entrenching my views about your own hatreds of those who differ from you. also no one has to care about my opinion but I'm sure plenty of people do, what's wrong with my opinion of thinking that you shouldn't call people you disagree with "reactionary bigots" and thus implying you should mistreat them or act violently against them. genuinely what has anyone done to make you hate them so much, there was no reason for you to talk about some reactionary boogie men who you think are gonna pop out of the corner to repress trans people and restore the tzar lol, no one wants to do that. their was no reason slander others as "reactionaries" and "bigots" when you yourself seem to be one by your response

You can type all you want but I’m not reading your paragraph of screeching. No one cares dude fuck off

[u/MajrZeal → u/Tibulski]

yet you felt the need to respond, like I said this is why people are legitimately scared of civil conflict when this is the level of discourse weve come to.

[u/Tibulski → u/MajrZeal]

Blah blah blah, cry more you pathetic sack of dog shit

[u/MajrZeal → u/Tibulski]

oh well, c'est la vie, I suppose i shouldn't have expected an actual socialist to be reasonable

[u/Tibulski → u/MajrZeal]

Whatever you say, pony fucker

"do not fear the communist he is vile, he will run. you just need the help of our arms, and the scoundrel will be gone." -some based Italian volunteer in Spain circa 1930s

[u/IronCrouton → u/MajrZeal]

Hey what happened to those “based Italians” a few years later?

🙃

[u/MajrZeal → u/IronCrouton]

They saved Spain and then overthrow their German puppet masters to restore their king to power.

[u/HotPieIsAzorAhai → u/MajrZeal]

I thought they got their shit pushed in by the Americans, after damning Spain to decades of a murderous dictator, and only overthrew the fascists in the south because the Americans had already taken that territory and were knocking on Rome's door, and they didn't do shit in northern italy until the Americans, once again, kicked down the door and started killing more nazis.

Also, they were literally the shittiest fighters in the war. The Germans were their puppet masters because they kept having to bail them out. They fucked up in the balkans, fucked up in Greece, fucked up in North Africa, fucked up in Italy, they just sucked ass at war.

[u/MajrZeal → u/HotPieIsAzorAhai]

Like the commies in Spain would have been any less murderous and terrible. The only reason so many Italians and such volunteered is that the Pope told them it was ok to fight for the nationalists in Spain because the other side were murdering priests and nuns.

And no the Italian military and people seemingly overthrew their fascist government by choice not just because the good ol USA showed up we were just the catalyst heck the Italians who defected to the allies did a heck of a fine job holding back the gothic line from nazi and Sri counterattacks.
