  • Walmart fires 6'4" cisgender woman threatened by man who thought she was trans

    Jump

  • To a lot of people, trans women are just women they can still abuse.

  • My sister’s AMAB friend likes to look like a girl and even said she wanted to be a woman, why would conservatives think using she/her pronouns for her is forcing an agenda?

  • the behaviors your describing dont seem "obectively" problematic whatsoever, but there are two things here that matter:

    1. This goes against typical conservative ideas about gender roles (especially the more sexist conservative ideas)
    2. There is a label for this behavior: "Transgender" This label both allows people to defend "trans people" as a group of people or category, but it also allows one to demonize the group and endlessly produce lies and propaganda about a group of people that is frankly pretty small. And importantly a group that holds no social or political power, meaning it is the perfect target for far right figures who want to sell the people a scapegoat. Honestly, you could argue the existence of this label(or maybe its prominence as an identity) is only the result of "normal" peoples need to have labels for behaviors viewed as "weird" or different from the norms. Our existence as "trans people" fundamentally makes us people different from the norm.

    There are other reasons too though.

    By the way, I am not saying that "the category transgender is oppressive and we should stop using it" but i do hope for a future where queer people live in such peace to the point where there is no need to rally behind labels, where we can just exist with our behaviors, being ourselves.

    Texas lawmakers file FURRIES Act, targeting animal roleplay in schools

    Jump

  • I feel there has been a misunderstanding here.

    Im not saying anything against furries, I am instead stating that our ideas of normality are entirely socially constructed, meaning this bill could be applied to basically any behavior depending on your interpretation of what is "typical to homo sapiens" I could, for example, state that it is normal for someone to be a furry, as humans have a long history of portraying themselves in similar ways. I could also say that a piercing is an "atypical" accessory not permitted by the rules. There is no such thing as normal. To call something weird is just to simply state that you haven't been exposed to it enough for it to qualify as weird for you.

  • Wow there sure is a lot of behavior and accessories not "typcal to homo sapiens" makes me wonder what the hell they even mean here by "typical", it's like calling someone "objectively not normal" while ignoring that your entire view on normality is based on what you have been exposed to. I am not a furry or a therian or anything, but the flaws in this law absolutely allow it to be applied to just about any "behavior or accessory"

  • The law defines "non-human" behavior "any type of behavior... [not typically] displayed by a member of the homo sapiens species,"

    NATHON!! STOP ACTING LIKE A HOMO ERECTUS YOU NEANDERTHAL!

    also im pretty sure "human" means 'under the homo genus' not 'homo sapien' but its not like it matters to them

  • i have seen others hide prompts via small text and unicode characters that make invisible text. I imagine you could also use unicode characters that look exactly like normal characters, these characters then maybe messing with tokenization or something.

  • randomly choosing a random outgroup to collectively hate must be ironically funny sometimes(see: jokes about the fr*nch) Genuinely there is no other reason. sometimes people will create justifications/other explanations for it but really its just absurdist humor with a pinch of tribalism. edit: i should add though, usually this type of humor is meant to be ironic by most of its participants. the more i think about it, the more it seems this is more rude than funny.

  • True, although usually when people talk about punishing pedophiles they mean punishing people who have done terrible things to children (and in this case, Republicans are talking about neither, the main objective of this is to target queer people)

  • People in politics are so "civil" they normalize hatred, lies, and fascist ideas. Normalizing hatred and fascism only further fascist ideology, which slowly, piece by piece, takes over the right.

  • Our systems and hierarchies do often support the oligarchy, but that does not mean every single individual supports the oligarchy, or that every single thing our systems do are meant to advance the goals of the ultra rich. Sometimes individuals who participate in these systems do malicious compliance, sometimes they don't comply at all.

    In this case there could be someone high-up who is empathetic(or a group of empathetic people unaware of each other, their actions adding up) whose decisions led to this happening, or this could have just been a dumb decision, who knows.
