My gender is my concern, but you may use any pronoun to refer to me
No, but it might be to charge a “missed appointment fee” if you don’t get there on time. That’s the fucking difference between punishment and consequences.
This is identical to “drug addicts choose to be drug addicts and so do not deserve medical care” except it’s closer to “blind people choose to be blind”
The argument isn’t that everyone should be allowed to come whenever they want, but rather we should assume good faith and not intentionally punish people for being late. The natural and social consequences are more than sufficient for whatever misguided purpose the punishment is meant to serve.
That’s just it. The sacrifices that a poor or disabled person has to make to be on time for their doctor’s appointment are much greater than the ones their typical patient has to make. We all have to make sacrifices for punctuality, but we’re not all asked to make the same degree of sacrifice.
Whatever he did when she was 16, he’s clearly making all trans people less safe when their life expectancy is already slashed by the social stigma they face.
So, this is embarrassing. Apparently up until this point, every time someone said, “monero,” what I heard was “Venmo”, and I just tuned out that pay pal bullshit every single time. Oops. I know better now, thanks.

I mean, ignoring the whole federation/syndication/self hostability/freedom/raison d’etre parts, yeah.
Then why are you so afraid to say, “Yes, please show me your evidence. I will read it and consider your point?” You would rather attack my evidence without ever knowing what it is, because you are not engaging in good faith.
You could argue it was the whole point. The rest of fediverse is significantly different, and you can still interact with lemmy from there.
Straight people are the worst of all options.

People actually use bitcoin for critical use cases. It satisfies needs in their lives that don’t just have to do with crypto. Another vanity coin is not a substitute.
I asked you if you wanted evidence and you just said stupid shit at me. Would you LIKE evidence, now?
You can have the last bark. I won’t reply anymore. Go ahead, take it. Buddy.
… I figure that going vegan isn’t necessarily that much of a stretch anymore. It’s not because of moral or ethical reasons
Then it’s not veganism. Veganism is not a diet. It is an ethical position on the treatment of animals. All aspects of our treatment of animals. You cannot be almost vegan or sometimes vegan or partially vegan any more than you can be almost a feminist. Someone who believes women should be allowed to own property, but not his wife, is not almost a feminist.
I understand it. And I understand that it is bullshit. It is an attempt to emotionally distance oneself from the consequences of one’s own choices. If one chooses for an animal to be killed, one is responsible for its death, and playing little semantic games cannot change that fundamental reality. But these games do prevent one from fully processing an idea that threatens them. It’s how you brainwash yourself. Groom yourself to be able to commit cruelty and violence, and not feel bad about it.
To even engage in such sophistry is to confess one’s guilt.
Gay people have exactly as much money as everyone else. There are proportionately as many gay billionaires as there are gay homeless people.
