What is a transmedicalist?

This forum is so over-dramatic that it's not even funny.

Sometimes often referred to as 'truscum', a trans-medicalist believes that you can only be trans if are diagnosed with or experience gender dysphoria in addition to believing someone only counters as being trans (typically what they will refer to as 'transsexual') after receiving gender-affirming surgeries. They are essentially the 'gate' keepers of the transgender community and after often adopted by conservatives as being 'one of the good ones' for conservatives' own whacky ideologies.

The reality of the situation is that one does not need the overwhelming suffering of gender dysphoria to be transgender. I, myself, specifically do have gender dysphoria but that suffering is not why I am a woman: I am a woman merely because I am a woman.

When I was doing my own translation of the manga I wrote it as "Why would I wanna touch your poopy ass?"
I'm from New Zealand, so that's what I read it as too. It's VERY dirty but IMO it's absolutely perfect for where the story is at, even if it totally contradicts Goku's revelation in the next episode.

I think Bulma unwittingly flashing her lips at Muten Roshi is more worthy of discussion.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

The lack of intention on anyone's part is kind of a turn off. Like, it outright lacks eroticism.

This was close to 20 years ago so I was probably around ten. I actually had fairly early exposure on the internet to the Japanese, "uncensored" side of things... primarily through Greg Werner's DBZ Info Page (wtf it still exists). I liked girls but I was probably too young to "appreciate" panties other than it being underwear.

Honestly, Blooma's ass isn't even well drawn. Like, her panties just aren't all that enticing. #AsALesbian, I gotta say, frills and laces are wear it's at.

How unerotic the nudity is is something I appreciated in early DB. It's why a lot of the sex gags worked for me. Nothing depicted was hot and yet Roshi is out here losing six pints of blood over it. Roshi ends up looking like a 12 year old who's only just discovered masturbation
My opinions suck. You should probably mute me to spare yourself having to see them.

That's really why I dislike it, to be honest. Like, g*sh, it just makes Toriyama seem unrelatable. It's hilarious since this was still coming out in the middle of the lolicon boom. Toriyama really was removed from the comics and animation scene at the time.

i thought it was funny because of Goku’s dismissive attitude. But personally I enjoyed seeing Yajirobe’s undies more! 8)

It isn't, a person doesn't choose what gender they are like choosing which pair of shoes to put on. You can think you're one thing but that doesn't make you that thing.

There's people out there who've claimed themselves as dogs, dragons, vegetables and even different ages from what they actually are.

But they aren't because reality doesn't work that way.

Transgender people are recognized as their gender by every major medical association. We've been know to exist for thousands of years. Your understanding of gender is super-lacking.

Other than be a transphobic, homophobic bigot and dog-whistle about trans people being insane.

Please no. I don't want flashbacks to the Berserk community. I fled that place for a reason

Saluting Ajay for banning the aforementioned user. Your customary ally medal is in the mail.

Also, Blooma's panties need to make a comeback so we can see them drawn by better animators.
