And now, in one post identifies as straight, maybe bi curious and doesn't care about homophobia because as a bi person she doesn't experience it, and then minutes later in another post is a lesbian who only likes men.
If she's real, she's got some incredibly powerful OCD and should maybe stop thinking so much about labels.
I'm mostly betting they're a troll though.
Why do you think I care lmfao
I called you transphobic because you made a transphobic post and you got really defensive over it. It's not that deep.
No I did read your post and replied in good faith. I'm sorry you didn't like my response but I remain firm in my position that your argument doesn't do enough work to distance itself from the clear transphobic origins of egg prime directive beliefs. People disagreeing with you isn't bad faith.
My problem with defences of the "egg prime directive" is that it's blatantly transphobic, and frames cisness as an inherently natural correct state while transness is something only a select few do. Encouraging someone to question their gender isn't the same as denying them their gender identity, you can at the same time identify ways that someone seems to be having a similar experience as many trans people do before coming out while totally accepting that they are what they are right now.
I'll be honest, it feels like a rebranding of the old homophobic defense of homosexuality, that it's a small percentage of the population that suffers from this condition, so we should be nice to that select few, but oh no don't you go implying morally upstanding people like me or my child could be one of those people.
It didn't have a cutesy name associated with it, but it's similar to why "born this way" was criticized when that framing was used for gay existence and why it played into a conservative framing of queerness: it's a thing the degenerates do over there, but if they try to come into polite society and try to do things like talk to kids about being gay, it's not because they're trying to reach out to gay kids who might be in unsupportive environments where being gay is never presented to them as a thing they might apply to them, it's because they're sickos who are trying to groom kids into becoming like them.
In a time when countries are trying to make trans people legally not exist and forbid people from even being able to talk about them, I could not imagine a worse time to stop talking to people about transness and that people who don't identify as trans might be trans. Our enemies will definitely happily tell anyone experiencing dissatisfaction with their AGAB that they're definitely not trans just shy/not (wo)manly enough/needing conversion therapy/etc, so why let them control the conversation about who can or can't be trans?
And I'm not against people having this recognition! I'm just saying, it's hypocritical to tell Canadians we can't see the US as an enemy nation if it acts that way, but it's okay for urbanite Americans to see rural Americans as their enemy. Either it's divide and conquer in both cases or it's recognizing political reality in both.
You missed my point - if you're saying Canadians recognizing the present reality that the US is an enemy nation of Canada is divide and conquer, I don't see how that doesn't apply to how you talk about urban/rural divides. Either acknowledging the political reality of a situation is divide and conquer or it's not.
Share where? All the platforms that you're implying people should share it on are either controlled by the oligarchs as well, or so sparsely populated you're going to only reach some absurdly small percent of the population.
I'm not trying to be a downer, it's better to be doing something than nothing, but if the oligarchs you're protesting own Facebook, Twitter/X, Google, AWS, etc, it just seems clear to me that if you can't rely on the news to report about it, you definitely can't rely on sharing to spread the word about it.
For most antisemites, Jewish people who consider themselves white are doing so as a ploy to infiltrate and undermine white society.
Antisemitic conspiracy thinking is based on the idea that Jewish people are all deep down engaged in some sort of conspiracy to benefit Jews over non-jews, and so you can disregard actual Jewish people's thoughts and understandings of their situation as a smokescreen for their conspiracy. Antisemitic conspiracy thinking is at its heart, conspiratorial thinking, and can reinterpret almost anything into further proof of the conspiracy, even someone acting in a way that totally goes against how the conspiracy theory says they should be acting.
The overall article is fine, but I really don't agree with its understanding of binary as an identity unto itself, and the article assumes too much that the way nonbinary people relate to being nonbinary is perfectly mirrored in how binary people understand binary identity. Binary isn't an identity I've ever seen anyone identify as as an actual identity, it's just the state of not needing more than one word to explain your gender identity. And especially for gay binary people, people of the other binary gender don't really have anything to do with their identity or experience of gender, romance, sexuality, etc any more or less than nonbinary swarm gender people do.
Right, which is why I explained that the comment that they were replying to was a joke about the absolute losses
They're in the same county, but that doesn't mean Evanston politics impacts Chicago at all. Cook county politics have almost nothing to do with city politics, for both Chicago and Evanston.
Fucking garbage tier party, will stick up for literally nobody, only procedural norms. They won't fight for trans, abortion, migrants, or any other rights, and God forbid you ask them to at least not vote for their opponent's department nominations, that'd make things so awkward in Congress!
Fucking useless "opposition"
