i don’t know. it’s like. i get we’re not at the point socially or technologically to have a system by which puberty is entirely choice-based. but i think a confident enough twelve year old trans kid should be allowed to experience the puberty that matches who they are as they grow up, like anyone else
every trans person is scarred, and yet we have the means to mitigate such grievous emotional wounds. but our hands are forever stayed.
i guess it’s like this. i get the trepidation about not wanting someone to experience biological processes they unknowingly don’t want yet. but we do that already, thousands of times a second, every single day. and we have the means to prevent just some of those cases. obviously care should be taken, obviously, but…
protect trans kids, I guess. that’s what I’m saying.
no sorry. I want to be hunted because I think it’d be the ultimate adrenaline rush, but more than that I want to live* (I want some extremely close version of me to live and continue to do the things I want to do)
okay but do you think the hunter vdersion of you would enjoy hunting the Most Dangerous Game
the worry is that you start liking it too much and just start regularly cloning yourself in order to hunt The Most Dangerous Game
and that is a bad thing?
i’m not worried about what you do with your body/bodies, I’m more worried about the environmental impact of releasing all those clones of you into the ecosystem
I would set upon rules and restrictions, e.g. that Hunted!me is not allowed to try and harm the hunter, to avoid any accidental scenarios in which I kill both of me
Maybe make it a game where after some predetermined amount of time, if the hunter version of me fails, the hunted version gets to kill the hunter version
ookay but what if you start Craving The Hunt so much that you start releaisng multiple clones of yourself at once
I mean I guess that would be a bad thing. and im also guessing that this is a reference to a book. In real life I’d probably clone myself and then feel bad about killing a second version of me and instead use that 2nd version of me to kill as many People I Dislike as possible.
this actually isn’t a reference to a book i’m just so pretentious that everything i say sounds like a sci-fi novella that some guy at school will not shut the fuck up about
i start describing what i did for the weekend and get dragged into so many overlapping and not particularly funny jokes that i end up telling you that last weekened i experienced the entirety of the plot of Blindsight by Peter Watts
anyway last sunday i went to Neptune and encountered a species of alien that posssessed absolutely no conscious awareness but still acted as a self-interested biological mechanism
yeah it was really awkward last tuesday i was appointed to be one of five people whose job it is to plan countermeasures against an alien invasion (said aliens possessing a perfect surveillance network) entirely within the confines of my own mind and I can’t figure out why
it was fucked up when on friday i was sent to infiltrate an empire based around an overcomplicated board game with an oppressive gender trinary
