I don't think they're dense, I think they just enjoy arguing with people

Who is “normalizing” trump?

Can you name one serious media organization that is doing what you’re complaining about?

I love that this is still going

• The Cure - Lovecats
• The Ink Spots - That Cat Is High
• Shaggs - My Pal Foot Foot

Added this to my reading list, looks good. Thanks!

Some type of rex breed I'm guessing, maybe selkirk rex?

"Noob Noob, his dick gets more business than youtube"

They aren't injecting race, its a very common dog whistle that its rare to see it not weaponized racially

hi

Took me less than a minute, did you struggle to use the search function? https://sh.itjust.works/comment/13694094

I'm still confused, who wants pubes that long and that abundant??

I can't get into those types of podcasts either so I've been looking for a list like this. Thank you for sharing and extra thanks for the helpful descriptors

Oh good I hope she sues the hell out of both of them. It's messed up the campaign of harassment they've thrown at her, and I hope she wins a huge lawsuit. I'd love if the terms of the suit insist they both apologize publicly, cause they would both hate that so, so much hahah.

I also think its pretty funny that terfs have, essentially, pulled back the curtain to show their true intentions. They like to pretend its about protecting cis women, but its pretty obvious to everyone now that they don't want to protect any women, they want to police them. Both cis and trans women. Which I take great pleasure in misconstruing to mean that deep down they believe trans women are women too

Oh yeah, when they try and throw the election they are definitely going to use this as their 'proof' the democrats are bringing in immigrants for votes 🙄

edit: oops wrong comment thread

You joke, but around when covid started I swear a fox news host announced he doesn't wash his hands cause he doesn't believe in germs. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if "soap is evil" became the new conspiracy

ha, found it. It was some guy named Pete Hegseth: “My 2019 resolution is to say things on air that I say off air,” Hegseth began. “I don’t think I’ve washed my hands for 10 years. I don’t really wash my hands ever. I inoculate myself. Germs are not a real thing. I can’t see them, therefore they are not real,” Hegseth added.

I'd hope he was joking but this was on fox so who knows

I've been saying this for ages, yes. I think reality talk shows started the downfall, like springer. I grew up around a lot of trashy people and I swear reality shit tv like this convinced them that acting up in public is not just normal but acceptable.

He went into black communties during covid and compared the RNA vaccine to the Tuskeegee experiments

daaaaamn I didn't know he did that, that is deeply fucked up

lemmy has one too: !priest_arrested@lemmy.world

I have a cat named Beans, here ya go:

Over 400 comments in 6 days? Makes me lean towards AI. or maybe both ai and its operator using the same account

OK, I guess I get what you're trying to say, but this is just how she looks....? She rarely smiles and often forgets to fill in her half-brows. As you can see glaring is pretty common for her too.

At this point I'm getting a little suspicious with how obsessed with children he is

My brother took this exact route and its not as easy or cheap as it sounds. Even their nicest sheds have a ton of work to be done to make them livable, and after that you'll need even more expensive work to make them up to code for your state. Your best bet if you are serious is to find a plot of land with their water/sewage/electricity/postal address already there (and a driveway or gravel road too if you can, that was expensive and took months of paperwork for some reason)

Yeah the sealion is definitely barking, here's the same person in another comment:

I’ve had my niece say she was bullied in school for not wanting to claim she was bisexual or something - and this is in a pretty deep-red area. I’m sorry, but 50% of the population being LGBT is not anywhere close to reality, and is a pretty good sign that these kids are being indoctrinated. I understand the need to be understanding for people who are this way, but the ‘inclusion’ needle swung so far the other direction that it’s now convincing children that they are gay/bi/trans when they aren’t. Additionally, I’ve raised my children to take advantage of this and claim they are even if they aren’t - for the purposes of scholarships and other benefits; since being in one of these minorities will see you with better acceptance into college https://sh.itjust.works/comment/12746064

If the problems are the same with or without religion, then why bother with religion

Wait 3rd gen can get dual citizenship in ireland?? I thought it was only up to 2nd gen

That's such a good point, you're not free from the financial burdens post-op. I'm just a freshly cracked egg so I'm still learning. I was going off of the convos I've had about the post-op life with friends and strangers in trans forums. A lot of the discussions around de-transitioning focused on the pressure to "be the person we knew" from people in their lives and also the pressure to reach a nigh impossible ideal of gender from society in general.

I think something a lot of people don't realize is that transitioning is not the end of the story. You still have to live in the same exact shitty world, with all the same hate, all the same bigotry, all the hostility. And if your post-op presentation doesn't pass the stringent "do you look cis enough" high standards of society? Welp, your life is now on extra hard mode. All the people you know that are already transphobic will probably still be just as transphobic after you transition, if not worse. People de-transition for a lot of reasons but I wouldn't be surprised if the main reason is the pressure to present as either their pre-transitioned selves or to present as a perfect ideal of gender that no one can clock.

This is not a pioneering study done in the field, jfc. This isn't a transgender story, this is a story of abuse. Did you read the article? Did you do any research into this at all? Did you at least read his biography? Because I have. To summarize: David was born a cisgendered man whose doctors botched his circumcision so badly he needed reconstructive surgery. His parents consulted a sexologist they saw on TV (the now disgraced John Money), and he convinced the parents to give David a sex change. Not for David's benefit mind you, but because the sexologist wanted to make a name for himself based on his theories on gender being easily malleable (and he briefly did, until the truth came out). A lot of gross messed up stuff happened, like the sexologist would make David roleplay sex with his twin brother I shit you not. He would make them watch hetero porn with him. And then he would make them get into sexual positions and make them playact sex together. He also took photos (and I think video) of these two children simulating sex.

So to summarize real quick, the pedo-sexologist who committed acts of psychological, medical and sexual abuse on these children, is your "pioneering study" guy. Let me guess, you thought that John Money was a success and that he proved his theory that gender identity is easily manipulated? I've seen this exact anti-trans disinformation twist before, along with thinking David was trans (he wasn't) and pointing out David's "trans suicide". You should be more suspicious of your sources for information. By the 90s we already knew John Moneys work with David was useless. And the disinfo machine loves to leave out a very important fact: Davids brother Brian killed himself two years before David took his own life. I guess the suicide of the depressed cisgendered brother who never transitioned muddies the trans-suicide agenda being pushed.

Whenever I see his story pop up, the terfs (and the unfortunately misinformed) end up erroneously thinking this is a story of a trans kid who killed themself. Disinfo will say this story proves that you can manipulate someone into believing they're a different gender then they know themselves to be. And look! Disinfo swears theres reputable science papers by John Money to back this up! ha.

David was a straight, cisgendered man. His story is not a transgender story. It's many other things; a story of child abuse, medical abuse, psychological abuse and sexual abuse. It's the a story of a cisgendered person experiencing gender dysphoria and not understanding why. To me, what his story really shows us is that a persons personal sense of gender is an innate and pervasive thing; a complex combination of mind and body that persists; no matter how much abuse you throw at it. Because even though David was raised to believe he was a woman; had his role as a woman constantly being reinforced by his entire world, had everyone in his life telling him he was a woman, he still knew he was a man and deeply struggled to understand why he felt that way.

True, but postulating heteros can't wear midriffs is a super weird take. It does come off as homophobic whether or not that was the intention.

edit: Now that I've thought about it, every male character I've seen in a movie dressed like this was portrayed as heterosexual. So croptops are actually a hetero fashion trend. You should embrace it!
