Anti-revenge narrative this, anti-revenge narrative that, I personally think that Inigo Montoya had the right idea when he stabbed Count Rugen in the gut and said “I want my father back, you son of a bitch”
A lot of revenge arcs end with the hero saying “there’s nothing you can do to bring my loved one back, so me seeking revenge is pointless.” The Princess Bride’s revenge arc ends with Inigo Montoya saying “there’s nothing you can do to bring my loved one back, so there’s nothing that can save you.”

there’s a post where someone said “can you respect trans women who look like men” and someone responded something like “hell yeah I love people who fuck with gender!” and like… yeah that’s cool, but in a lot of spaces “trans woman who looks like a man” is a lot less likely to be someone who is intentionally comfortably presenting masculine, and a lot more likely to be a girl who hasn’t started transition, or can’t safely, or just didn’t or couldn’t put in the effort to pass as fem today, and a lot of them will just look like schlubby dudes and not a radically presenting queer person. and you should be able to respect that.
Also, and I can’t emphasize this enough. Are you cool with trans women who aren’t hot? Like, if she’s a solid 3, do you think she still has rights? Because a lot of people fail this test. Most people, in my experience.
