Not really the same. Some dreams, the more vivid kind can have smells or feelings. Like the one I had yesterday in which I had cat ears, whiskers, and a tail, and also curiously enough, horns as well. I could run my finger along them and feel the texture in them as well as the warmth in the horns. It was weird.

AI doesn’t have smells, feeling, or textures, or if it did it can’t really give it to you. Only sights and sounds. So they aren’t really the same. Dreams can come in all 5 senses, AI can only channel through 2. Usually just 1.

Most malware is badly written, thankfully. It still does work of course but it isn’t as effective as it could be.

Me being a therian doesn’t imply that either. I have dysphoria related to my species, phantom sensations related to parts I don’t have like big cat ears or a tail. These phantom sensations can be very unpleasant too, downright painful. Also the lack of these parts feels inherently wrong.

I don’t entirely know why I feel like this either, but I found the therian community and related to a lot of similar experiences they’ve had with this.

Isn’t brain sex contested? I mean I’m NonBinary so that already puts me in a weird spot, but also I do indeed have dysphoria related to physical characteristics that don’t have to do with gender like my ears and my tail, or rather lack of them. I actually get phantom sensations and pain, and it can be pretty upsetting and also pretty severe. Tail pain can be excruciating, but there’s nothing physiologically wrong with me (that doctors can tell) that would cause these sensations, nor would explain why I have so much discomfort around the lack of these very non-human traits.

I don’t understand why you are seemingly bothered by who I am

Yeah it shares more in common with a gender identity. For example I do experience a kind of species dysphoria if you will. I even get phantom ears and phantom tail sensations which is unnerving and also just makes me more sad I don’t have those parts.

I’m so glad to see that this has gotten so far. When I saw Ross’ video on it I thought it was probably over. I hope some good change will come of this in the future.

Fighting Oligopoly is not a “boomer complaint” they want you to say that because it legitimizes their hostile tactics and takeover.

Hate someone for being a bad actor or a bad person but don’t attack based on gender identity. That isn’t attacking them, it’s marginalizing many many innocent people, and it makes them a victim.

Hey pal, FYI not all NonBinary experiences are the same. I commented sharing my experience. If your experience is different, you could’ve just said that instead of being rude or trying to say I’m wrong for feeling the way I do.

I’ve been harassed, yelled at, and insulted by women in the women’s room, but at least they never physically assaulted me. I don’t know if I could count on the men in the men’s room not to do the same and I’d rather not take the chance. I remember a story about a trans woman who was killed in the men’s room and it still gives me chills thinking about it.

I usually go in the women’s room because people clock me more feminine than masc. Men’s room is very risky because they might not care but they might also be violent. If the bathroom is busy I pee sitting down so no one sees my feet facing the wrong way, I don’t really like it and it feels awkward to do which is why I pee standing up when it’s not busy or no one else is in there. I have been caught a few times and the women gave me shit for it, though it was always yelling, chastising, or slurs, they never got violent with me. Most violent one got was grabbing my ear and escorting me out of the bathroom. I don’t know if I could trust the men to do the same. I heard a story of a trans woman who was physically and sexually assaulted and murdered in a men’s room. That story is very much burned into my mind.

I usually try to avoid public bathrooms in general but lately that’s been harder.

That’s what I usually do. Some people get mad or annoyed with me but I imagine it could be physically dangerous to go into the men’s room.

When you’re Nonbinary every bathroom feels like this, not because you don’t know which is which but because you don’t know which choice is more wrong or will get you in more trouble.

The cat ears on top are super impractical, yet super adorable. I love them.

Edit: Actually, hopefully in the future they won’t be as impractical as they are now, maybe some of us will have real, biological cat ears in the future. Hopefully (I certainly do cuz I’m a Therian).

Fuck tankies. I don’t know what’s up with the idiots arguing in this thread defending them or saying this point isn’t valid because of the original comic but it needs to stop.

These tankes are the same useful idiots who are simping for Russia and China while being LGBTQ and neurodivergent, despite those countries violent and hostile treatment of LGBTQ and neurodivergent people. The fact that people are sticking up for these dumbasses in this thread is frankly disgusting.

If you want to share videos I recommend !videos@lemmy.world or possibly !videos@sh.itjust.works. Both great communities to share videos, either ones uploaded to Lemmy (though probably not allowed or recommended by all servers) or on services like Peertube and YouTube.

In favor of doing this, but keep the old posts locked without removing them so people know what happened and what led up to this.

WTF?! YDI. You should know better than to act like that in a trans space. I myself am Nonbinary and a therian and have had to deal with people exactly like you telling me I’m crazy for it. The thing is I have species dysphoria and it’s not something I can control, so calling me crazy for it is as bad as someone saying you’re crazy for you having gender dysphoria. Go fuck yourself!

So let me get this straight, you think that I’m a rightoid because I disagree with you and would never want to share a server with you because you bullied and scared someone into deleting their account? Go fuck yourself Phillp I have nothing more to say to you. I didn’t like you when I met you and I like you even less now.
