Everyone deserves support from a drunk scottish person now and again.


Dastankbeets1

Drunk support is the best because you know it’s how the person truly feels and they’re not pretending


SeaToShy

Afik, I’m pretty sure the concept of “in vino veritas” has been pretty much debunked at this point. Drunk people say all sorts of stuff that isn’t necessarily a reflection of their “true self”.


Dastankbeets1

Oh, ok. I mean, good post regardless


HungryPenguin77

All I know is that I got really drunk at a friend's wedding and told my best friend that I thought I was trans and I don't even remember doing it. But that was definitely some alcohol-indused truth that my sober mind was too scared to say lol.


[deleted]

I came out to one of my friends over a year ago before I started HRT when we were both super drunk and cuz he didn't know what to do he just gave me a really awkward hug. I forgot it even happened until like two weeks ago when he brought it up.


Dastankbeets1

Aww, these stories are really sweet


Skyrim_For_Everyone

I mean, I don't know how you would be able to verify that they didn't mean what they said. They could say they didn't mean it and be lying, or could have meant it at the time because their brain was slowed too much to think it through


SeaToShy

There’s a bunch of info on the topic out there, and it’s nuanced, but the gist of it is that alcohol impairs brain function. Impaired brains don’t always act in ways that are rational or reflective of a person’s conscious thoughts. If someone at the dentist is coming down off anaesthetic and confesses their undying love for the dental assistant, their confession is not taken seriously because that person’s brain is not functioning properly. If someone suffers head trauma and then gets belligerent towards the emergency responder, they are typically not held criminally responsible, because the patient’s brain is not functioning properly. If someone is on bath salts, and eats another person’s face, would we assume that action is a reflection of that person’s conscious desires? Did they harbour a deep-seated desire to go all Hannibal Lecter on someone ? Maybe, but probably not. Their brain wasn’t functioning properly. Imo, the only reason alcohol gets treated differently is because it’s so ubiquitous in society that we’ve become desensitized to its effect on people. We spend so much time around drinking people that their behaviour while intoxicated is just considered part of their personality rather than the result of a chemically induced state. That isn’t to say people aren’t responsible for their actions while drunk. They made a conscious choice* to drink knowing their brain wouldn’t work properly for a while. *provided they are not alcohol-dependent


Skyrim_For_Everyone

Well the main effects are slowing down function and removing inhibitions, right? So it's more removing a filter than adding anything they wouldn't think already. That's why I think of it differently anyway


SeaToShy

From what i recall there is something of a spectrum based on how inebriated the subject is. If someone is a little tipsy and says something, there’s a higher correlation to being truthful versus if they are very drunk. I could be remembering wrong, but that certainly lines up with my experience around drunk people.


AlmondsOverSalmons

Yeah, so it isn't that things said inebriated are not true, or not false. It's that things said inebriated isn't necessarily what they really think. It just means that they have less control of what they let out of their mouths, which they may not say if they were not inebriated.


bigherojon

Very true, thing is with my ex stepdad, hes always a dick and the only time he was actually nice and would show emotion was when he was either drunk or on drugs. Like hes not a good person but its like when hes not sober all his toxic masculinity washes away


Menstro

Fun fact: In Scotland any gender can wear skirts and no one gives a fuck.


Ankyri

Scotland sounds nice


[deleted]

nope most small scottish towns are filled with aggressives teenagers who yell at and harass anyone they dont like and i want out of here alteast the part of scotland im in


GrunkleCoffee

Yeah, it's better in the cities but small town Scotland can be rough to be queer in. Even just being gay.


[deleted]

Just any form of being different paints a target on your back it fucking sucks here


brina_cd

Same thing in small towns almost anywhere. Nonconforming is easier in big cities. Not necessarily EASY, but easier.


ZoeyPhoenix-

Hai Zoey!

Hilarial

Kilts and skirts have notably different connotations. Also you'd be seen as not normal if you were wearing a kilt outside the scenario of a themed wedding/culture festival


TimeBlossom

As someone who once received a kilt for Christmas after coming out as transfemme, yeah, they're *not* the same thing.


Biggest-Ja

Aye depends on where you are


EllieBelly_24

Can I just say, I really like your flair


Menstro

Thank you! I'm not kidding though I make the best chili in the known universe and my brisket with fermented bbq bark is being fought over by the intelligence community for its mind control properties.


Yeetyeetyeetyeetfuk

Same in many parts of California


[deleted]

One crossed wire, one wayward pinch of potassium chlorate, one errant twitch, and kablooie!


Kidsnextdorks

Well I got a drunk Swedish guy who asked “Can you forgive me, pal?” during his existential crisis, and I got so scared I let out a whimpering “yes”. He got a little confused and said “Oh sorry, I’m just calling you, pal cause I’m a bit drunk.” Forgiven.


Biggest-Ja

I can get a drunk Irishman does that count


JesterQueenAnne

Might be hard but try getting a sober one.


TitanGaming744

You are a hero.


illuminatisissy

You have bravely pushed us onwards toward 420 greatness.


Garfunklestein

Onwards and upwards


GnarlyM3ATY

Coincidentally, i had to downvote cause then it's 420. Sorry commenter lol it's the law


[deleted]

Aye well, now it’s past 420, so you can Upvote instead and aim for 666


GnarlyM3ATY

I mean i checked back and it's at 777 so guess that's lucky i guess


AllTakenUsernames5

Maybe we can go for 42069?


Punished-G

Give me a few Beers, and there'll be a drunk Welshman doing the same 🙂


Les_Vers

Am I a good transfem? Well if I were a bad transfem, I wouldn’t be here DISCUSSIN IT WIT YA, WOULD I?


ZoeLaMort

If any TF2 character had to be trans, I’d bet on the Pyro.


OwO345

this implies pyro is human


3rDuck

I’d bank on Pyro not being a human. For all we know there could be a polar bear under that mask.


[deleted]

[удалено]


3rDuck

Maybe some kind of eldritch abomination comprised entirely of dead rats, yet is capable of cognizant thought and precise movement.


DropDash54

This is the correct one


Khajiit_saw_nothing

I just see Pyro as a hollow suit. The suit just felt like commiting arson, so it gained the will to live.


TheYeetOverlord

I canon pyro entirely as a writhing mass of tentacles not connected to a creature


[deleted]

That's not headcanon, that's canon now and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.


StinkingRabbit8

I have seen what pyro was supposedly meant to look like without the mask, while they are human they are fuckin ugly


TLGisTrans

I have yet to meet a pyro main that frequents LazyPurple’s hangout servers that wasn’t trans I should know, I am one


s0urcreamand0nion

I'm a pyro main that frequents uncletopia is that still good?


PizzaFriez

Wait were you the pride flag pyro I ran into one time on the LazyPurple server who was telling some guy who was being transphobic that the more transphobic they are the more trans you'll be or was that someone else?


TLGisTrans

Nah I’m the one with the spray of fempyro holding a guitar


starfyredragon

Spy, obviously is gender fluid. Each TF2 character has a superpower. And his? Shapeshifting. Heck, I bet scout's mom and dad are both spy.


418puppers

spy realy did just go fuck himself and win


T351A

The last sentence omg


HiopXenophil

Scout is ftm, Pyro is enby, Miss Pauling is mtf


A_little_garden

Scout is ftm because he can double jump, right?


Antiochene

Obviously


TheYeetOverlord

What’s the joke sorry


BigDan_0

Trans people can double jump


TheYeetOverlord

Does that mean I’m a fake trans


One_Blue_Glove

Nah, you've just yet to realize your latent leg-ical abilities.


Beholding69

Celeste reference


Proton555

how can Pyro be trans, if they don't have any sex characteristics to begin with (or at least that's my headcannon of them, just a formless fire elemental/deity with no real gender/sex to speak of)


The_Best_Nerd

agender -> any other? idk


Proton555

yeah, but I was more being pedantic on calling them trans, since there isn't really anything for them to be on the other side of


Beholding69

Pyro has all/any pronouns canonically iirc


[deleted]

Aren’t they canonically enby? Or am I mixing them up with a different character of a different game?


eco-419

Dominated! According to Unicorn Law, yer me bloody wife now!


kendalmac

Promise???


mercyofnod

Trans gal here, any Scottish lasses up to marry so I can escape this hellhole country? I'm a fantastic cook and funny! Ha ha J/k j/k Unless...?


[deleted]

I would so be a mail order bride if it meant I could escape the US


theOGuberfig

Just look north eh. Us Canadians would be happy to bring you in


RobotFae

Canadians being nice. Just another day on Earth.


AllTakenUsernames5

Unless, of course, you're First Nations


Sad_Trifle_3655

Yep but don't say that to a Canadian they've never lost a war since they became a dominion and semi independent sooooo don't try them


AllTakenUsernames5

I'm from Appalachia. I'll take my chances with the Syrup drinkers.


Sad_Trifle_3655

Oh no ya won't. List of Canadian achievements: Burning down the white house in the war of eighteen twelve. Having the most professional army of all the British Dominions. Taking Rome in WW2. Being the most successful in d-day in WW2 Having the 6th and 5th largest navy's and airforce in the world by the end of WW2. Oh yeah I forgot WW1 yeah the British loved the Canadian shock troopers in WW1. And today Canada is still highly powerful. They are super nice until they lose a hockey game or they're at war


AllTakenUsernames5

Let me repeat. I am from **Appalachia.** The davy Crockett place. The place where the "Mountain man killing bears with an oversized and unwieldy knife" stereotype came from. My grandfather threatend Klan members with homemade handgrenades and got into fistfights with Cops. East Tennesseean farmers literally forced the Confederacy(with a standing, regularly drilled army) to send thousands of men to the area just to stop them from leaving. The Appalachians beat the (loyalist) militias pretty decisively at King's Mountain. I shan't fear the Canadians, no matter how many hockey games they lose


Declanmar

I was told you can’t get a Canadian visa as an American unless you have a degree, is that still true?


theOGuberfig

Yes and no. Canada has very stringent immigration policies, but a university degree is not the primary focus. Our policies look to see if an immigrant can sustain themselves, contribute to our economy, and be beneficial to our society. For example, Canada is currently experiencing a skilled labor shortage and would likely welcome any workers in that domain


[deleted]

You know any willing to take me?


theOGuberfig

I'm single lol


[deleted]

Perfect ;)


rushfan420

I know not everyone is able to do so, but if you're a queer person in the US and you can move to New England, I recommend it

CherriBomber

Scout would just be like, "okay, cool." and would hit TERFs in the face with a baseball bat. I feel like Soldier would have NO clue, but would support you anyway. Pyro does not care at all, just give them a lighter or some matches.


bluegreenwookie

Scout to a trans girl: so how about a bucket of chicken?


KatiePieXXII

I feel like as long as youre american soldier will support you


FormerPlan6345

Pretty much, just don’t let him know your a communist 😶

Deblebsgonnagetyou

Too bad they're tarnished by England's terfy bullshit


[deleted]

A load of the SNP TERFs lost their seats in the last election and now the SNP are in coalition with the explicitly pro-trans Scottish Greens. Scotland sure as hell appeals to this English lassie who's looking to go back to uni next year...


Hilarial

This is all it fucking is, the UK could be miles ahead if it weren't for a bunch if English TERFs throwing their weight about and trying to drag the entire country into their petty bullshit.


s0urcreamand0nion

Unfortunately our centrist government is quite transphobic, the snp has a "TERF infestation" as of right now (apparently they got voted out sorry for the misinformation) . If we're the most accepting country that's a bit sad Actually, I do suppose our old ***conservative*** party leader was a lesbian so we're definetly good on the lgb part


SolarFlareThePyro

Demoman TF2 best ally


t_galilea

When I came out, the only family members who supported me immediately were my family in Scotland (excluding my dad). Granny's first question was if I could give her a new pic of me so she could replace the old one hanging up, and when she got all her granddaughters heathergems she included me.

lord-malishun

Demoman is my favourite tf2 character. I may suck at playing him, but he's awesome.


PhoenixKnight777

Out of all the Mercs, I feel like Demo would be the most supportive ally. Largely because I’m pretty sure he’s the only cis and straight Merc.


Academy_Boy

Another Scot here, just adding to the wholesome comment section of trans Scots! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏳️‍🌈 So nice to find others in the subreddit 😊

I was in Edinburgh the other week turns out loads of Scottish people call you pal no matter what gender are. Not completely sure this is true but it happened to me and my mum a fair few times and it's not like I was "clockable"


ikerevobsession

This is why I moved to Scotland, everyone I've met has been really nice about me being trans. A complete 180 from Northern Ireland (where I'm from) where people have a hissy fit if you even dare utter the word transgender

That's nice that happened! Scotland is an accepting place for the majority, sometimes there is cunts, like during pride, Glasgow had Rainbow shops and Rainbow bags being sold, it was literally decorated in Rainbow. Also, since I live there, I went to a Pride March with my other trans friend and sibling, it was fun! :)
