Cogency

Writing is on the wall for the entire world. What the writing says and where we go with it is still up to us. I’m going to resist and persist.

Really? They haven’t won anything. They’ve made progress, they are advancing a genocide against trans people like me and I’m not even this doomery, but the resistance to any destruction of this country will grind it to a hault again and again. They havent won the popular vote in this country in decades.

Get out and vote. Organize and resist. BLM was the biggest civil rights movement in the world. Covid shut this place down. Resistence is as easy as organizing a stay at home day.

And oh look the unions are already planning it. https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/04/business/uaw-next-auto-strike/index.html

I watched vote manipulation happen. Transphobia is not this popular. Nor do organic vote totals match the trends in the thread. And this post specifically was at one point heavily down voted, beneath other alternatives with better more news centered discussions. The slur was the point for some.

I watched it happen.

Then it wasn’t to you, it was to the original commenter.

I haven’t been angry. It should be changed

It’s also upvoted because it is a slur and bad actors like to chip in their support knowing it’s a slur.

And yet it’s still the most upvoted comment, keeping a slur up that hurts many trans people, but sure the teaching moment is more important than being inaccurate and insulting, but keep patting yourself on the back.

You can edit in a cross out with two tildas ~ surrounding the word and put the correct word next to it if that’s your style. But it’s still somewhat akin to using the n word for some of us.

It’s not our word for how we describe ourselves/ what we transition for, when we transition, and it can have nothing to do with sex, mostly, we can be any sexuality.

That old language centers everything on the fact that people see us as sexual fetishes and not people. Transition is about gender, of which sex sometimes is not even a part, asexuality exists too. Thus the word transgender

You can also edit your comments, it would be preferred if you would change it so that you aren’t using what many of us consider a slur.

Seconded, transgender is more accurate and how we describe ourselves.

They are the biggest producers, but that is because most of the world places their production in China and India. America is the biggest consumer of those products.

I’m willing to be convinced you just don’t have it. And I’m not your bud.

“He openly admits the punchlines of a joke? No way.”

Nice of you to admit that you think being trans is the punchline of a joke.

Describe a punchline then that’s funny of his now?

(I haven’t watched him since he occasionally got a laugh out of me when I would skip through the Chapelle show. But usually even back then, he was only funny because it was playing off racist tropes and the uncomfortability added to the humor. He threaded the needle a bit back then, but even he admitted his comedy did more harm than good. Right now he’s doing way more harm to my people, just to grab cash because apparently his Chapelle show money wasn’t enough)

Berkshire Hathaway’s investors and Warren Buffet probably, but idgaf really. Just answering the question, and it’s not like that’s what investments do as they get re-evaluated (exacerbated by the unfolding AI market.) https://www.investopedia.com/berkshire-hathaway-swings-to-profit-q2-2023-7570232

You are completely wrong about the way gender dysphoria works. It’s the opposite, we have euphoric feelings and comfort in the gender we move towards, Gender dysphoria is the opposite feelings we get when we repress that and are forced to express ourselves as the wrong gender.

Gender dysphoria is a diagnosis and a mental health crisis, but it is alleviated by transition, meaning of largely goes away when we transition.
