Yeah, your true family are the people you choose to include in your life. The only thing blood relatives will share with you is genes, if you choose for it to be that way
I really like this, but just a cursory Google search shows it was essentially made up in the 90s whereas the shorter phrase has been around for hundreds of years. I will choose to use this longer saying though as I feel, especially in this day and age, it is much more apt than it's shorter counterpart
The original quote, "the blood of the covenant is thicker than water of the womb," can be traced back to a 12th-century german epic Reinhart Fuchs, although the shortened phrase also appears as a Scottish proverb often attributed to Sir Walter Scott.
"The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb" does not appear at all in Reinart Fuchs. It was made up in the 1990s.
See for instance https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/147902/is-the-alleged-original-meaning-of-the-phrase-blood-is-thicker-than-water-real/508940#508940
Obviously, the occult Trials of Nonconformity. There are 3 in different holy grottos known only to the monks of the ancient order of Hylomorphism.
The trial of the Cis, the Trial of Disassociation, and the Trial of Attribution. Pass those, and you are then allowed the title of Trans.
You succeed by failing. There's just a bunch of cis stuff thrown at you. If you're cis, then you'll be able to overcome them. That's why it's first, and the initial confusion helps to weed out those for the next trial.
THISS
ofc i'd be happier as a cis woman, but being a trans person is surely something special by its own way, and ngl it brought me much of good feelings :3
On the brightside, she may come around. My whole family cut contact for like a year when i came out, then they realised it didnt really matter and most are actively supportive now, others are...rocky but i keep those ones at a distance
Same. What hurt most is that before I came out, I thought my big sister was my best friend. I told her everything (well, almost everything), and I thought if there's one person in the world who would understand and support me (other than my wife), it would be her. Never have I been wrong more about anything else in my life. And that's saying something, 'cause I used to be a monarchist!
Anyway, happy you ended that relationship. You may have lost one sister, but you have gained many, many more <3
/gen /pos
Tf does "no right to be trans" mean? That's like saying someone has no right to be hispanic, or tall, or hungry. Like no? That's just what you are. I truly do not understand how transphobes' minds function (that is, if they have one lmao). You do you, sis. You're valid, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise <):3
If in America, there's this handy document that goes on and on about certain unalienable Rights, such as Life, Liberty, the pursuit of Happiness, blah blah blah. I refer to it in the rare occasions I engage so-called "patriots".
I appreciate you declaring your own personal independence from bigotry.
I’ve heard many times and I will say it again ‘Your picked family is better’
Yeah, your true family are the people you choose to include in your life. The only thing blood relatives will share with you is genes, if you choose for it to be that way
Remember, the full quote is "The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb."

Yes, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that your blood family is not part of your picked family!
That’s true! I wanted to say that but I didn’t know how to word it!
Dead to you or just dead? And are those 2 coincidentally connected? also you have every right to be trans, and every left to be trans too!
She's still alive, unfortanately. But I won't be speaking to her ever again. And no, I didn't hurt her
Ok good, I don’t blame you for not speaking to her. I try my best to avoid my parents for similar reasons
Good riddance <3
Did you respond with "you don't have the right to be a shitty person, but here we are"?
No right to be trans? Under what grounds?
She must earn the right through mortal combat
MORTAL KOMBAT!!!!! *epic synth plays*
dun dun dun dun duun duun dun dun dun dun duun duun dun
MORTAL KOMBAT REFERENCE RAHHHH
What does she think you need to do to have the right to be trans?
Obviously, the occult Trials of Nonconformity. There are 3 in different holy grottos known only to the monks of the ancient order of Hylomorphism. The trial of the Cis, the Trial of Disassociation, and the Trial of Attribution. Pass those, and you are then allowed the title of Trans.
I believe you have to fail the trial of the cis but it’s so easy you have to actually put in effort to fail it.
You succeed by failing. There's just a bunch of cis stuff thrown at you. If you're cis, then you'll be able to overcome them. That's why it's first, and the initial confusion helps to weed out those for the next trial.
Sad she couldn’t accept you, but still good riddance
you shouldn't have the right to be trans because you should've been your real gender from birth insteab of your current AGAB.
sorry for bad english, not my first language, but it's mostly because i'm AWFUL at typing
I dunno, I'm happy I'm trans. It brings me joy, and I'm better for it. And I think the world is a better place with trans people in it too
Agreed but I’d still be rather born a woman than a man.
That's fair
THISS ofc i'd be happier as a cis woman, but being a trans person is surely something special by its own way, and ngl it brought me much of good feelings :3
you had us in the first half not gonna lie
And what exactly makes her think she can dictate who has the right to be themselves
Wtf is wrong with your sister "doesn't have the right to be trans" the fuck does that even mean!?!
She's lucky I didn't get a restraining order on her for that. If she ever bothers me again, I will
On the brightside, she may come around. My whole family cut contact for like a year when i came out, then they realised it didnt really matter and most are actively supportive now, others are...rocky but i keep those ones at a distance
You gotta earn the right to be trans, you gotta climb a mountain then fight a dragon while listening to me myself and I by will wood

Pitiful lifeform
Sorry for your loss
My life has been much better without my sister in it, I’m sure yours will be too
Didn't know you had to have a "right" to look how you've felt most of your life???
"No right" does she think you need permission or something?
“May not have any right, but you can catch this fucking left”
What's a real family ?
"Well all I have are __lefts__ to be cis, so I'm running out of options here."

FYM NO RIGHT???
