    If you say “the proof is left as an exercise for the reader”, I’m going to get to you directly (in messages) and whine and cry about my past experiences in college and the ptsd i got from it, do TEST me!

    (test me if u wanna, id be too lazy to actually do that, but i would be sad, so pls dont regardless <3)

      I thought it was self evident,

      Any form of complex numbers, from simple i to more complex systems like quaternions, if you keep multiplying it by itself, it will eventually do a full rotation and return to the begining:

      i= √-1

      i 2=-1

      i3=-√-1

      i4=1

      i5=√-1=i

        I meant the proof of how trans people are imaginary? Unless you mean pre-op and post op, in which case I do agree about it being self evident
