Background: During adolescence, bullying often has a sexual content. Involvement in bullying as a bully, victim or both has been associated with a range of negative health outcomes. Transgender youth appear to face elevated rates of bullying in comparison to their mainstream peers. However, the involvement of transgender youth as perpetrators of bullying remains unclear in the recent literature. Objective: The aim of this study was to compare involvement in bullying between transgender and mainstream youth and among middle and late adolescents in a general population sample. Methods: Our study included 139,829 students in total, divided between a comprehensive school and an upper secondary education sample. Associations between gender identity and involvement in bullying were first studied using cross-tabulations with chi-square statistics. Logistic regression was used to study multivariate associations. Gender identity was used as the independent variable, with cisgender as the reference category. Subjection to and perpetration of bullying were entered each in turn as the dependent variable. Demographic factors, family characteristics, internalizing symptoms, externalizing behaviors, and involvement in bullying in the other role were added as confounding factors. Odds ratios (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) are given. The limit for statistical significance was set at p < 0.001. Results: Both experiences of being bullied and perpetrating bullying were more commonly reported by transgender youth than by cisgender youth. Among transgender youth, all involvement in bullying was more commonly reported by non-binary youth than those identifying with the opposite sex. Logistic regression revealed that non-binary identity was most strongly associated with involvement in bullying, followed by opposite sex identity and cisgender identity. Transgender identities were also more strongly associated with perpetration of bullying than subjection to bullying.

Secondly, we found that transgender identity was generally associated with perpetrating bullying and that the association was stronger than that of transgender identity and being bullied. To the best of our knowledge, past research has not examined perpetration of bullying among gender minority youth, thus rendering comparisons to prior research impossible. In a study by Dank et al. (2014), however, it was reported that the few transgender young people in their study were the ones most likely to perpetrate dating violence among their sample.

Thirdly, non-binary identity was more strongly associated with involvement in bullying than opposite sex identity. Past research has found elevated rates of being subjected to bullying among youth (Lowry et al., 2020; van Beusekom et al., 2020) and transgender youth (Gower et al., 2018) who perceive themselves as more gender non-conforming (i.e., masculine females or feminine males) than youth with no such perception. Non-binary identifying youth particularly may display gender expression that does not conform to either masculine or feminine roles, and this may make them vulnerable to being bullied either due to simply being different from the mainstream, or as a result of heterosexist control. We found, however, that not only being bullied but also engaging in bullying was even more common among non-binary (perception of gender conforms to both or neither sex or it varies) than among opposite sex identifying youth.

"Non-binary" is just a new way to bully other people.

Trying to make people refer to you in stupid, language defying ways, like "schglie/schglem," at the threat of being called a bigot, when you're a completely average man or woman, is the modern day equivalent of making the kids in the playground bow and call you "the god of the jungle gym" at the threat of being beaten up, when you can't actually do that flip from hanging by your knees into a standing position.

When, unlike the playground, society has given you the power to actually carry out that threat, you're not "marginalized," you're the ruling class. (What's that "power plus" arithmetic again?)

Whenever you enter the room, people tense up. And you love it. It's the whole point. Gay and transsexual people just want to blend in, but "nonbinary" is about the opposite. Everybody pays attention to you and you steal the oxygen out of the room. You say it's about "being kind," but you and everyone else knows what you are, which means it's really about being in control, but from a false position of vulnerability.

So it's no wonder it attracts narcissists and bullies. Especially when it's an effort-free way of being celebrated for a month - and on and off the rest of the year for an endless parade of "awareness" days - for being completely unremarkable and average.

Not being a tired stereotype is not an achievement, least of all one that needs to be celebrated.

Legal U.S. government definition of AI, as found on page 63 of this:

I am in agony. 1, 2, and 4 could be interpreted to cover practically any numerically estimated mathematical model, automated system, or computer tool. 5 is a great sci-fi definition of AI but no one is anywhere near making it if it's even possible and even if they were it's a completely different set of concerns.

Yeah. Sure. Let's make rules about AI that apply equally well to chatgpt, The Algorithm, Data from Star Trek, automated color adjustment, and logistic regression which was developed in the 1950s.

At this point I think we need to scrap the term immediately for everything with the possible exception of 5. Alternatively, everyone using it is required to individually define what they mean at the beginning of their statement because otherwise it's meaningless (other than 'probably a computer is involved').

#unsolicited rl opinions #unsolicited discursive opinions #perhaps I shouldn't be surprised that Congress produced something so dumb #but it's SO DUMB #everything is ai apparently #artificial intelligence #not just a misleading term but FUCKING MEANINGLESS apparently #ugh

what if the uniform changes to Rimmer's projection are just software updates JMC made that are just now reaching the returning Red Dwarf? like they make minor changes/ improvements to all holographic projections, for weird corporate reasons, and some of them happen to include a new look. it would explain why he changes outfits when he experiences regressions becase for once they're clearly not trying to pretend like the current uniform has always been. i thought it could work like the post pods, though i'm not certan about the logistics, point is the updates arrives late.

i just need some reason for the ever changing uniform so this is it for now. it's because JMC, or whoever they brought their holo equipment, is doing re-designs to everything they can effect, this could mean Rimmer is sporting the trendiest 3 million year old clothes or that they're trying to convey a new brand image with each or they're just A B testing things, which would explain the red/blue puffer jacket and the green/red shiny uniform, but those can also be explained by easness of re-design vs colour change, so who's to say.

Gotham War is so stupid (I've heard through reddit it was to get Batman more isolated) and it kinda cements why I don't like Chip Zdarsky.

Firstly, the whole plot doesn't make sense.

Selina "Let's train criminals to be better at criminal-ing in this one sector of criminality, making violent crime rates drop while making it hard to catch them" Kyle and the whole Batfam (minus Damian the only person with sense) thinks that "Yes, this is a good idea."

Ethics aside, logistically how are you to trust every criminal you train is going to stick with the guidelines you provide? Criminals go rouge all the time. Congrats, you have even more crime that hidden. Then is the fact that you are commit crime, you're just putting pretty words around it to muffle the blow.

Instead of doing something productive such as create more rehab plans in prison and so on, you train criminals.

Next, was Failsafe nothing? Was the whole "universe hopping" nothing? Can't we have some smaller scale arcs and not Gotham ending events for five minutes? Can't Bruce be a detective for a bit?

Then, the characterisation is so weird and has been since 2020/2021. The whole Batfam (Bruce and Barbra and most of the girls get hit hard with this) are so....one dimensional. Why is Dick and Tim following Selina's plan, they may not hate her but they wouldn't believe that teaching criminals to do crime right is...good or that her way is the right way. Jason just regressed as a character. Selina being villainous I don't mind. Selina being stupid is what I do mind. Does she really believe the plan would work (obviously not because Vandel manipulated her but besides the point.)

Why the fuck are Cass and Stephanie ok with the plan? Stephanie definitely wouldn't be, why would she be? Stephanie who went to the streets to spoil her father plans without training, because she understood crime wasn't the answer. Cass who ran away because she understood killing people was bad?

And why is Barbra just some person tapping the computer giving out locations? Oracle is more than that.

Then Bruce. The whole "I've messed with your DNA so you get scared when you're adrenaline is high" was written because the writers understood that Bruce being against crime is actually not that unreasonable. Bruce didn't throw them all in jail, which he should have done at the first meeting. Bruce didn't tear down Selina's club. Bruce simple caught criminals.

You are little and have a panic attack but Alcina soothes you fic

Another awesome paid commission for @tomboyab You involuntarily regress to your little space and have a panic attack as you are helping Alcina prepare for a festival in the village. Lactation, fluff, and mommy Alcina. What else can I say? As always, if this isn’t your jam, no worries!! Let’s get into it!

As you entered Alcina’s opulent office, you did your best to exude confidence and maturity. Despite feeling like you were about to regress (Big time), you were determined to fulfill your role as Alcina’s personal assistant for the wine business. You had been serving her in this capacity for a while and it made you feel useful, but… Things had been very stressful lately. There was a big festival coming up in the village and neighboring communities were even planning on attending. That guaranteed a lot of foot traffic and Alcina was not planning on letting such a grand event slip by without showcasing her wines. That meant that there were a lot of particulars to get settled… And it also meant that a lot of the responsibility landed on your shoulders.

You were hiding just how much you had been struggling from Alcina. But… You feel like you’re going to crack from the pressure. You had also been having trouble holding your bladder recently because of how anxious you were. Thankfully, though, you were prepared and made sure to wear your pull-ups in case that becomes an issue.

Alcina, a formidable figure seated behind her grand mahogany desk, reviewed documents and numbers related to the upcoming festival. Her piercing eyes pored over the papers.

You approached her desk, clutching your notepad tightly, trying to appear composed. “Good morning, Alcina,” You greeted her, attempting to project professionalism.

“Ah, there you are, draga,” Alcina responded, her voice tired but still commanding. She had been consumed with work for the festival too. “I trust you have updates on the arrangements?” She asked.

You grimaced. She seemed so intimidating like this. You knew you shouldn’t have, but you felt a little nervous in her presence at that moment. She was completely focused on figuring out what needed to be done. This was a big opportunity for her and you didn’t want her to suffer because you couldn’t keep up.

As you battled with your insecurities, you took a little too long before answering and Alcina quirked a brow at you. “Draga? Are you with me?” She asked.

Your cheeks blushed in embarrassment but you soon took a deep breath and nodded, flipping open your notepad to reveal a neatly written list of figures. As you delved into the financial aspects, promotional strategies, and logistical details, you did your best to keep up with Alcina’s rapid conversation. However, the mounting pressure began to weigh on you, escalating your anxiety.

Suddenly, panic gripped you like a vise, squeezing your chest and stealing your breath. You tried to maintain your composure, but your hands trembled uncontrollably and your heart raced. The stress became overwhelming.

With each passing moment, your panic intensified, and unfortunately, your bladder became an unwitting casualty. As you sat there, grappling with your anxiety, your pull-ups grew warm and damp, betraying your involuntary loss of control.

Your face flushed with embarrassment as you realized what had just happened. You desperately wished you could escape the situation, but you knew you couldn’t abandon your responsibilities.

However, Alcina, sensing the sudden shift in your demeanor, paused her conversation and regarded you with concern. “Are you alright, draga?” Alcina asked, her voice softened with understanding.

You couldn’t even speak. Your breathing had gotten erratic and your shaking was impossible to ignore.

Alcina quickly rose from her seat and swiftly moved towards you with concern etched on her face.

Before you could react, she scooped you up into her strong, comforting arms. The world blurred around you as she held you close, cradling you against her chest.

She said something softly, but you couldn’t make out what it was. You were so physically and emotionally exhausted that just the sensation of being held by Alcina was overwhelming. The weight of your responsibilities and the strain of the panic attack had taken their toll, draining every ounce of energy from your body. In the comforting embrace of Alcina, your exhaustion reached its peak. Unable to fight any longer, your consciousness slipped away. The last thing you remembered was the gentle rise and fall of Alcina’s chest as you nestled against her, finding solace and peace in her protective embrace.

When you woke up, your surroundings had changed. As you slowly regained consciousness, you found yourself cradled in Alcina’s arms within the cozy confines of your nursery. The gentle sway of the rocking chair beneath you provided a soothing rhythm that eased your weary mind. Alcina’s presence exuded comfort and safety, making you feel cherished.

You could feel that Alcina had changed you into a clean diaper. The fact that she chose to put you specifically in a diaper signaled that she didn’t expect you to be big right now. You let out a sigh of relief. These last few days had been hell if you were being honest. You hadn’t been sleeping and barely ate, too worked up to be able to rest. But, you should have known Alcina would eventually see through your facade. She understands you on such a deep level.

You looked around at the familiar surroundings of your nursery and felt protected. You loved your nursery and took a moment to admire it. The room was adorned with soft pastel colors and toys that added to the nurturing ambiance. This was your favorite room in the castle by far.

But, of course, the most important thing that was currently making you feel better was Alcina holding you close, her arms providing both physical and emotional support.

A soft glow enveloped the room, casting a warm light on the scene. Alcina, with a tender expression on her face, gently brought you to her breast, offering you her nipple. She was hoping you’d be hungry when you woke up. She hadn’t had time to properly nurse you throughout all of the work she was doing and her breasts ached as they continued to produce milk for her baby. She needed a release.

You popped your mouth open and allowed Alcina to guide her nipple into it. This was such a natural and intimate act, a way for Alcina to soothe you in the most maternal way possible. You latched on and made tiny noises of contentment. You were so hungry.

As Alcina cradled you and offered you comfort as she breastfed you, she gently spoke to you, her voice infused with love and concern. She wanted to ensure that you understood the importance of communication and expressing your feelings to her.

“My sweet little one,” Alcina whispered, her voice soft and reassuring. “I want you to remember that you can always come to mommy when you feel overwhelmed. I never want you to bear the weight of your anxiety alone. Your well-being is mommy’s priority, and I’m here to support you,” She says, gently running her finger across your cheek. It killed her to see you trying so hard to be big when you clearly weren’t able to. “Mommy felt so… Guilty to see you like that, draga,” She said, fighting back tears. Her poor little baby.

Her words filled you with a profound sense of gratitude. You could feel the genuine concern she held for your emotional state. Her admission of feeling guilty for your anxiety only deepened your understanding of her love.

“From now on, will you promise mommy that you’ll tell her when you need to be little?” She asks and runs her fingers through your hair.

You smile and nod your head. Alcina is such a good mommy. She only wants the best for you.

“I know that life can be overwhelming at times,” Alcina continued, her voice soft yet resolute. “But you must remember that you don’t have to face those challenges on your own. You have mommy and I am here for you whenever you need me.”

Alcina spoke in hushed tones as she breastfed you, her voice a soothing sound that washed over you like a gentle breeze. Her words were filled with reassurance and love, as she aimed to calm your frayed nerves and bring solace to your weary spirit.

“There, there, my sweet little baby,” Alcina whispered, her voice a tender caress. “You are safe in mommy’s arms, draga. Let the worries of the day drift away. Let mommy heal you, my darling.”

Her words, spoken with such affection and care, echoed deep within you. Each gentle suckle you took at her breast served as a reminder of your love for one another.

“You have worked so hard, my dear,” Alcina continued, her voice filled with pride. “You have carried the weight of too many enormous responsibilities,” She smiled. “Mommy is so proud of the work that you put in,” She said and leaned down to kiss your little nose, making you giggle. “But, you can let go now. Let mommy take care of you, baby. She loves you so much.”

This touched your heart, creating a sense of peace and acceptance. Your mind became warm and fuzzy as she soothed you.This feeling of being so little was intoxicating. Only Alcina could elicit this response. As you drank from her breast, a profound wave of relaxation washed over you. The stresses and worries of the past few days faded into insignificance.

Alcina leaned back for a moment and basked in the feeling of her breasts emptying a bit. Her body must have really wanted to feed her baby because they had never felt that full before. Alcina smiled as she thought of all of the beautiful little acts you do for each other. You bring her relief as you eat and she provides you with nourishment. She truly doesn’t know what she would do without you.

Alcina soon sat back up to focus her attention on her baby. She continued to talk to you, her voice a lullaby that accompanied the gentle rocking of the chair. She shared stories, memories, and gentle words of encouragement, weaving a tapestry of comfort around you. Her presence and soothing words enveloped you, creating a sanctuary within her arms.

You were so hungry and eager as you suckled, that little dribbles of milk streamed down your cheeks. Alcina noticed and chuckled, reaching beside her to get a soft cloth. “So ravenous, little one,” She joked and wiped your mouth.

You giggled at Alcina, looking adoringly up at her.

“You are my precious baby, draga,” Alcina murmured, her voice soft. “Mommy will make everything better,” She promised and gently patted your bottom as she rocked you. She began humming a simple melody to you. The sound of her voice mixed with the rumbling of her chest were euphoric.

Alcina’s nurturing embrace and her words of comfort worked in harmony, soothing your tired spirit. You could feel yourself being enveloped by her love, held in a space where you could find renewal.

You nuzzled closer against her. The act of breastfeeding created a unique bond between you and Alcina, a connection that transcended boundaries. The faint smell of Alcina’s perfume calmed you as well. Its distinct scent soothes you greatly. You have come to associate it with your mommy. It seems that everything about her is meant to soothe you. The stress and strain of the day melted away, replaced by a deep sense of contentment.

Meanwhile, Bela had quickly taken charge of handling the final touches for the upcoming festival. She was determined to take some of the weight off of you and Alcina. With confidence in her more-than-capable daughter, Alcina could focus solely on caring for you, her little one, ensuring that you had the respite you deserved.

As you lied against Alcina’s chest, feeling the beat of her heart and the rise and fall of her breath, you knew you were understood in the presence of your mommy. Time seemed to stand still, allowing you to fully embrace the unconditional love and care that Alcina provided.

In this tranquil sanctuary, you enjoyed the purest form of maternal love, free from any worries or responsibilities. It was a well-deserved break, a precious moment of respite as you were nurtured and cared for by the one who cherished you above all else.

You surrendered yourself completely to the serenity of the nursery and Alcina’s ever-present love, falling asleep not long after.

Hey hey if you still want moodboard requests do you think you could do a Regressor Moon with Caregiver Sun board? Moon's "Merry go round broke down 🥺" Voice line in HW2 really got me. He babie.

EEEEE!! I HAD SO MUCH FUN WITH THIS ONE!!!

Have some free Head Cannons too, as a treat :3

~Can we just pretend that there's an au that this is all possible and we don't question logistics~

- he absolutely has a Snorlax plush that has a very loving home in his arms or by his side at all times

- he's a cranky boy!! Very hard to please unless you know the few things he'll always enjoy

- which is hard because not even he knows what he wants/needs half the time

- I'm placing him at 18-32 months (1 1/2 - 3)

- generally can and will sleep ANYWHERE

- one time Sun found him hanging from his wire completely limp and Sun freaked out bc he couldn't reach him, he had maintenance get him down and Moon was just snoozing away

- Suns an anxious caregiver, especially with Moon. After everything that Moon went through with the virus Sun is scared he's going to start being harmful again.

- it really upsets Sun when Moon has one of his mini tantrums and his eyes flash red for a second. Moon can usually see that Suns getting riled up and puts his fussing on pause. (side note take away the regression/tantrums and this happens a lot in our system, Sun needs a break 😭)

- not a paci kiddo but he definitely takes those teething keys by the ring in his mouth and just shakes his face as fast as possible to get The Good Shakey Noise™

In this au that I'm creating just now as I'm dotting these down, they're both flips. So says me. Let me know if you want CG Moon and Lil Sun HCs!!

I just want to say, I got permission from both Sun and Moon to post these. I've felt really weird about posting any writing from my head mates sources so I like to get permission first, I will say that Moon doesn't actually regress.. he wanted that known lol

Agere Board was made using Pixart- free on apps store

Original art of Sun and Moon belongs to @/shandzii but it was found on the app

If you want to request an Agere Board please read the green portion of my pinned post!

Thank you for reading! Stay safe bubbas!! <3

I paused re-reading for two reasons (though I think I’ll go back to it now). One is more logistical which is that I’m rereading in Spanish to practice but Two is the real reason. Orv hurts my heart.

I keep thinking about how tragic kdj is.

I’d love to hug him and tell him it’s okay to receive love but I can’t. And even if I could I know it wouldn’t reach him. He’s a character who’s only ever felt love through sacrifice and only ever experienced value through what he could do for others. The way he latches onto yjh is indicative of his struggle with self punishment.

He can’t help but love and hate and root for this bastard protagonist who keeps dragging himself through more and more cycles. Although yjh didn’t choose that life himself (that he or kdj knows of for the majority of the story, obviously we find out about regression 0 but that’s neither here nor there) yjh puts his all into completing the scenarios. His twisted world view and just trying and trying and trying again and again.

Kdj talks about how yjh is giving up on timelines when he regresses and he’s not wrong but I also think it’s important to note that yjh could’ve succumbed to depression way more often. He could’ve only done the basics of the scenarios and lived in the outskirts like a lot of the side characters we only see briefly. (Especially after that combo event with Japan where it was voluntary) But that’s not in his nature and that’s why he’s so appealing to kdj.

Someone trying so desperately and failing and trying again just trying to survive. Just like kdj. Gritting his teeth through school and shitty jobs and crap superiors. That’s who kdj looks up to, resents, idolizes, and ultimately was raised by. So it hurts when I know kdj doesn’t know any better. He’s only had fucking awful examples at how to receive love. To be thanked. To be cared for. To be pampered. To be worried over. To be so damn treasured that others are willing to burn everything down just to see your stupid blurry smile once more.

Yjh and kdj are foils in the most obvious and excruciatingly painful ways. But yjh turns to look at kdj. To really look at him and changes. He sees this impenetrable wall and fights to get through. Rough and brash and without tact because how else would someone like yjh do it? Even when there’s a crack kdj covers it up with another layer. Layers upon layers that kdj doesn’t even let us see through. Why must he go through all this isolation and pain? Because he chose it. Because he knows no different. And it makes me cry because as much as I understand and sympathize I can’t bring myself to accept it.
