    counterpoint: maybe she wouldnā€™t fucking have mental health issues if she didnā€™t posses the power to kill people by touch? just a thought

    youā€™re literally just repeating stormā€™s flawed argument, itā€™s real easy to say ā€œoh but your power isnā€™t badā€ when youā€™re not the one unable to touch people without killing them.

    Why should people be defined by things like that? shouldnā€™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 donā€™t get to be the arbiter of whatā€™s part of peopleā€™s identity. If someone wants to ā€œcureā€ a thing you donā€™t think is bad, tough shit! You donā€™t get a say in it.

      Iā€™m a transwoman, Iā€™ve definitely heard people tell me I donā€™t need to transition I can just ā€œBe gay and wear dresses all I wantā€

      Iā€™m not a drag queen or a ladyboy, Iā€™m a woman who used to be trapped in a manā€™s body. And yes I was a woman trapped in a manā€™s body

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

      No, if I was always a girl then Iā€™d have never had a problem.

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