Super interested to find out what you mean by that.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION ON THIS MATTER!
That’s great. Now release all of the Epstein files.
Well said, Ada. I am so thankful that you created this instance!
It’s great when someone voices their support for trans people and our fight for equality both legally and socially.
That said, I’ve completely given up on trying to talk to people about “the trans issue”.
The problem is that no one researches anything before taking a position. They parrot whatever their echo chambers tell them to. They take moral positions on topics that they nothing but sound bites of. No one takes five minutes to look at stats or studies, nor do they take additional time to examine the authors of the studies and stats, to understand the motivations behind them.
I get it, most people don’t actually know a trans person IRL, so why take the time to educate oneself on something that does not effect them?
When trans people started gaining public support it was easy: trans people are people who deserve to live their lives. Trans rights are human rights! Easy.
But then came the bathroom bans, and now sports and youth trans care bans. These issues seem difficult, but they are just bad faith arguments used to sway public opinion away from support of us.
No one knows that we are like 1-2% of the population in the US, the amount of trans athletes is minuscule and trans children do not get “genital mutilation surgeries”.
But none of that matters, because people believe everything they read on Facebook or see on TV. It gets tiring having to repeat the same shit over and over again to people that ultimately will not stand by our side—especially when it becomes inconvenient for them.
I am wary of anyone who decides to let me know that they “support trans, but…”
That was clever!
Was this a real thing? I tried to searching for it, even reverse image searching it, and it just lead back to reddit. Curious to learn more.
Who doesn’t like a little bit of crazy?
Where were you when 9/11 bisexuality happened?
What do you mean? You don’t see the crazy clip of a young Gary Busey morphing into an even younger Gary Busey? It’s pretty cool!
The man was granted asylum! He’s 82 god damn years old!
I would love to see a popular uprising where we string up the thugs that are snatching people off the streets. They don’t need unnecessary things like “lawyers” or “trials”. A can of gas and a match are pretty cheap. So is rope.
Perhaps I worded that wrongly.
I don’t follow that argument. Am I really doing actual work? Spending 5-10 minutes scanning some items and then paying?
Is this some sort of “principle of the matter” thing? Because it seems like one of those arguments for arguments sake.
If you went to a cashier, you still have to put your items on the conveyer belt. The only thing the cashier is doing is scanning the items and placing them in bags. Most people pay by card, which again is something that you do yourself.
I don’t buy the whole “YOU doing the job” nonsense.
From the article:
The move comes after Linzi Smith, 34, a gender-critical lesbian from Newcastle, brought a case against Northumbria Constabulary, arguing that it had been wrong to allow uniformed officers to actively participate in an event that promoted gender ideology and was supported by transgender activists.
People who filled out the 2021 census in England and Wales were asked: “Is the gender you identify with the same as your sex registered at birth?” According to the ONS, 262,000 people - around 0.5% of the population - answered “no”.
The ONS states that there are 60,238,000 total people in England and Wales.
Gender critical people, almost always cis women, can go to hell. They go out of their way to try (and lately succeed) to suppress any support for trans people and to exclude trans women from any space that is oriented for women. They fear monger, calling us perverts and degenerates that want to prey on poor, defenseless, innocent women.
Anyone who advocates for the disenfranchisement of trans people is an objectively shit person. We just want to live our lives and not be singled out for discrimination.
It’s irritating for sure. They’ve been around for long enough that 95% of shoppers should know how to use them.
I remember before these things came out. It would typically take forever to get through the line to have a cashier ring you up. There was always an old person in front of you that wanted to pay via check, which slowed the line down even more. How about the guy using his 2-way, on speaker, in front of you? That fucking chirp going on and on. What’s that? Someone wants to buy a lotto ticket, which means the cashier has to go to another counter to get the ticket and come back. Next, the soccer mom has 20 coupons she wants to use, half of which are expired or are for a different store. It was so much fun!
I much prefer the self checkouts. I can get through those within a few minutes. It sucks that those cashier jobs have mostly been eliminated. But that’s the price of progress I suppose.
I have lowered the amount of nicotine in the juice I make. But getting down to 0 has been very difficult to do. Actually putting less in is not the hard part. Sticking with it is the hard part. It’s really easy to just make a new bottle at the level I had before that. Idk. It’s hard to explain.
I’m still hooked on nicotine. These days I mix my own juice, use refillable pods that last me a good month with two rechargeable batteries that I swap between. It’s very cheap when one does it this way. Quitting is obviously the best way to go, and believe me I’ve tried, but I keep coming back.
I’ve given up opiates, coke, and weed. But dropping nicotine is a real bitch.
He must have a prominent position in the Epstein files. He is a rapist, after all.
They said discussion closed, gosh!
That’s great, now release the Epstein files
