Or me. Same issue here. Plus me getting weirded out too - just because you're Trans/Intersex doesn't prevent you from feeling the same Transphobia that many others do. It can be inconvenient on a personal basis, but also useful as it allows you to see the Transphobes as merely human, like yourself. Not innately bad. This really is a case of "to understand all is to forgive all" and to laugh at the inconsistent illogicalities of being human. Kindness is the answer of course, to forgive yourself, so forgiving others becomes not just trivial, but inescapable.

oh god.
i googled huntsman spiders.
i do not have any kind of arachnophobia but those guys give me the heebiejeebies. i would, as was said by someone else earlier, probably wind up destroying with extreme predujice if i met one IRL.
*shudders*
Tova:
They are scary looking, but they pretty much keep to themselves. Plus they eat cockroaches. Enemy of my enemy, and all that jazz.
jeanramone:
I've got a pet Huntsman called Harry. He's pretty chill.

No, Huntsmen are "catch and release". They're ... about as harmless as you can get for a venomous creature in Australia. They just look scary. Ok, terrifying. 20cm B-52 size Spider Trappers definitely appropriate.
Redbacks are far less menacing in appearance, but actually deadly to the elderly and very young, and painful to adults. Those are the ones I take no chances with.
There is a typically Australian tragic ballad concerning a victim of one of these creatures.
