    counterpoint: maybe she wouldn’t fucking have mental health issues if she didn’t posses the power to kill people by touch? just a thought

    you’re literally just repeating storm’s flawed argument, it’s real easy to say ā€œoh but your power isn’t badā€ when you’re not the one unable to touch people without killing them.

    Why should people be defined by things like that? shouldn’t they be free to ā€œcureā€ it if they want?
    People do this same thing with all kinds of disabilities, especially stuff like autism/ADHD. ā€œautism is your super powerā€ very easy to say and it sounds nice, but you don’t get to be the arbiter of what’s part of people’s identity. If someone wants to ā€œcureā€ a thing you don’t think is bad, tough shit! You don’t get a say in it.

      I’m a transwoman, I’ve definitely heard people tell me I don’t need to transition I can just ā€œBe gay and wear dresses all I wantā€

      I’m not a drag queen or a ladyboy, I’m a woman who used to be trapped in a man’s body. And yes I was a woman trapped in a man’s body

      ā€œOh no you were always a girl.ā€

      No, if I was always a girl then I’d have never had a problem.

      I like the mentality of well wishers but Toxic Positivity sucks.
