  • I’ll throw my 2 cents in. My experience closest to a situation like this is when one of my inlaws came to discover he was ace, while having a wife and kids. I won’t go into the weeds with what happened because I heard most of it through my spouse but I know it put a lot of strain on their marriage before their realization. Afterwards they had something to work on, which did help.

    They’re still married after a few years. But it’s a situation where I feel they should open it up because one side isn’t getting their needs met.

    The thing that will be important is being honest. My experience being with trans women is that their tastes/needs/wants change from pre transition to fine with where they’re at. I’m not the same person as my 10 year old self. It isn’t a bad thing, but as I said be honest to both yourself and your spouse. Think about how you want her to treat you. Think about how you want your child to treat you.

    Good luck, and I hope everything works well for you!


  • This isn’t an attack on you, but a personal belief. I don’t care what the authors intentions are. They can shed light on something but once it’s out, the media is out of their hands. Great example is the book “starship troopers” and the movie.

    Another thing I dislike is the ‘natural’ fallacy. Because force is described as ‘natural’. What’s natural is death, life, decay, growth, order, disorder. What the Jedi were shown to be is a weird sex cult that prevented people from getting in unless you had a ‘birth right’.

    If grey Jedi is what all jedi were supposed to be, then that is one thing. But that isn’t what was shown.



  • To be fair, it’s weirder to not be some form of a bigot when you’re born in 1904. And it’s also not surprising that it isn’t researched properly. Psychology today still isn’t researched properly.

    I’ll eventually watch it in my mornings, but I hope it’s more than just “some show is anti-LGBTQ because the boomer who made it learned from someone older than him.”

    The main thing that would make me think a fanbase is bad is if the fanbase has higher than normal ‘problematic group’. Star wars is popular enough you’re going to get every type of fan. There is always a small vocal majority in the fanbase. If one out of every thousand fans is a vocal asshole, then a billion fans you’re going to get a million vocal assholes. That wouldn’t be anti-LGBT that would be par for the course. It would be society, not the show’s fault. If it has less than a million then I would say it tries to welcome LGBT folk, because it’s going against the norms of society.
