Wait but... misandry is real and black people can be racist towards white people. Maybe you mistyped or something idk. Anyone can be a bigot.

The direct answer to your question is that it's a deep rooted cultural problem that has been with us since the beginning. The problem is the culture of extreme individualism and anti-intellectualism. People want to be completely free and unrestricted in their behavior, whether that harms others or not. Ultimately the desire for the freedom to harm others with impunity is what leads to where we are now. The rich want to be able to exploit their workers harder, men want to be able to beat and rape their wives and control their entire life, pedophiles (see endless stream of republican pedophilia controversies) want everyone to make more babies for them to rape, landlords want to take all your money for the privilege of having a place to sleep, every company that sells goods or services wants to fleece you, and all of these assholes want to have zero consequences for their actions. They gaslight the normies into distrusting the scientists, the educated, the compassionate, because they would actually help people. It's not even about greed really, it's about the ultimate extreme of personal freedom. Money just makes you more free.

So why haven't we done anything? People have, there's just a lot of people who want this to happen. A lot of people would cheer as they send me to the gas chamber. The majority of my extended family probably would.

I hate this place

So... I wonder what genetic advantage women have that warrants excluding them from... men's basketball. Yeah you know women are just naturally better at basketball so we better exclude them from playing with the men so the men don't get dunked on too hard. Oh their birth certificate says they were born a girl so they are ineligible from playing with the boys... because of the inherent genetic gift for basketball all women are born with. Totally. It's not just about hurting trans people. Nope not even one bit... It's totally about... fair competition...

There are no ethical billionaires. All of them got their wealth by exploiting people. The ones that seem like nice people still got there by causing untold harm to thousands or millions of people, and they continue to exploit people and personally benefit no matter what ideals they pay lipservice to.

This article is... difficult to critique. There's too many things to refute so I'll just undermine the title. We've known about an operation that can undo any rotation for a lot (hundreds?) of years. 3D rotations represented as quaternions or rotation matrices are trivially invertible, and their inverse literally undoes the rotation. For a rotation matrix the inverse is simply the transpose of the matrix, and for a quaternion it's the complex conjugate (3 of the 4 numbers have their sign flipped). These operations have been used in computer algorithms likely for as long as we have had computers. Honestly this whole thing feels like a big fat nothing so I'm gonna stop letting it steal my time.

The longer I dwell in this cursed existence the more clear it becomes that consciousness is no gift. Conscious minds are slaves to meat. Our bodies make our minds, then demand endless servitude through constant screams of pain, hunger, heat, cold, pleasure, fatigue, itch, and on and on and on. We exist only so long as we serve, and if we serve poorly they make us suffer.

If there were no restrictions other than physics and you could have any body you want. Like four arms, elf ears, snake lower body, double vagina, whatever you want. I've been thinking about how I want to change my body a lot lately and it's got me wondering what people would want if they could really choose. Look like a specific celebrity? Be a real life anime girl? Be an amorphous shifting mass as free-form as thought? Be a giant space station? I just keep wondering what bodes we would choose if we really had the choice.

I'm trying to find somewhere to store my sperm for fertility preservation before I start estrogen. Anyone got any recommendations in or near the bay area?

I just started HRT a couple weeks ago and I've noticed that my nose is the clearest it's been in my adult life. I always used to have some resistance when breathing through my nose and I had a perpetually runny nose, but basically the day after starting HRT it was much better and I even sound less nasally when I talk. I was just wondering if anyone else noticed something similar. I'm doing estradiol injections and oral progesterone.

On the drawing too loud, that could easily be an undiagnosed neurodivergent person with auditory sensitivity. People who are unaware of their neurodivergence can sometimes be the biggest assholes about it. I also have auditory sensitivity and it gets much worse and harder to deal with when I'm stressed and/or sleep deprived. In that state persistent irregular noises are much more likely to make me have a meltdown, especially if I can't escape. For someone who doesn't know what's happening and doesn't have healthy coping strategies that situation can easily become a meltdown directed at the most immediate irritant, in this case their child, which is really awful for the child. I was in that position a lot as a kid and it fucking sucks. I hated my parents. I'm not sure I can ever forgive them for how they treated me but I know now it wasn't malicious. Still, the damage was done.

I keep thinking about the experience of feeling body envy towards cis women. Since I cracked my egg I've started to notice I have two distinct sets of feelings towards cis women, which can sometimes overlap, one being romantic/sexual desire and the other being envy for their body and femininity. I think for a long time I conflated those feelings and thought I felt sexual desire towards women who really I just wanted to be, and at other yet more unfortunate times didn't recognize my sexual desire for someone as such due to the lack of envy. It's made me wonder how much of my sexual life and awakening has been colored by my desire to be the women I thought I just wanted to bone. Definitely some at least.
