It’s part of a shifting norm and shifting norms are always controversial. Especially norms that involve opening up bodily autonomy, dignity, or respect to previously excluded groups.

Even though we generalize that we’re attracted to categories like men and women I think most people are only attracted to a handful of singular people rather than a whole gender (or a more muscled or less muscled subset of one).

Yeah and also your comment might be illegal in the US soon

We pay for the student disney/hulu with ads ($7 I think) as well as Peacock ($6) and we have access to a family member’s HBO Max. We quit netflix on principle last price hike and are planning to set up our own server—maybe plex so we can share with friends. We have apple for free for now (came with a TV).

It’s quite rational for you to feel angry towards people who seemingly went out of their way to wrong you. One thing that helps me is contemplating the inner existence of that type of person.
