    If belligerent internet comments actually convinced you to change your diet in such an inconvenient manner for no reward but moral superiority, you are not like the people you're trying to convince. Abusers and cults love bomb because its more effective on a random sample of people

    Two things. First, the fact most people arent hunting the animals thenselves really isnt shocking. Human society thrives on specialization. We dont farm or forage our own veggies either, we dont engineer our own cars, we dont construct our own houses. Thats kinda just how civilization works. Its not uniquely symptomatic of "carnists".

    Secondly, you severely underestimate people. Primitive tribes, even if they were less effective at securing large amounts of meat, still hunted without any moral compunctions about the matter. Evolution is a slow thing, people who did that were just like us in any way that matters. Its not unreasonable to assume most people would adjust if you strip away the automation of society. Desperate people resort to cannibalism for goodness sake, I wouldnt put hunting past them.

    Theres several reasons

    Part of it is good old fashioned bigotry

    A big part of it is the systemic advantage the Electoral College gives Republicans

    And of course there's the matter that Traitor Trump voters don't have standards while the rest of us do

    How the fuck do you expect a child with unsupportive parents or in certiab states to change their name legally? Thats simply not a fiar expectation, and forcing the whims of shitty parents and stares (anything unsupportive in the case of trans people we are obviously discussing is indeed shitty- this is not up for debate) is a dick move.

    How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals

    I constantly see angry mobs of people decrying "woke", "critical race theory", ""grooming"", and whatever other nonsense they made up this week. They march around with guns, constantly appending lib as a prefix to any word they can use to denigrate. They actively plot violence and spew hatred in the open. You never see the inverse. There is no ConservativesofTiktok getting churches harassed into shutting down for the day or calling in threats. You don't see cringey boomer memes on the left. And whenever I openly express those feelings, try to create that sentiment; I get shut down. Noone agrees, I'm often shamed and muted. I just don't understand why that parity exists, it's extremely isolating to feel so alone in this

    I'm transsexual, not transgenser

    Some people feel the term is outdated. They say this while parading around what to me seem oxymorons, like "non binary women" or "he/him lesbians". When a lot of these people say they aren't comfortable with their gender, I notice they often mention things like clothes, makeup, hobbies. More generally, they seem to talk about gender roles- masculine and feminine- than something to do with their bodies. Here's the fact of the matter. Bathrooms, pronouns, legal documents; they aren't referring to any of that. They're referring to what's in your pants, or if you have boobs, or grow facial hair. Most people, myself included, don't care if you wanna wear clothes or behave in a way assigned to the opposed sex (there are folks who do of course, and most of us here know they're assholes). But unless you're changing something about that, it doesn't warrent a change in your pronouns or documents or bathrooms. As much as my own rights are under threat, I can't help but sympathize with the folks upset with that, I don't wanna share the ladies' room with what amounts to a femboy or "metrosexual" either. Sex is bimodal, and I use the term bimodal specifically. There are edge cases, such as intersex people, or those with hormonal conditions like PCOS. I would argue transsexuals, those like myself who seek to change or sex, are among them. And hell, actual enben who seek out procedures like gender nullification too. I don't take hormones because I want to be feminine. I take them to be as close to female as I can possibly get with the medical technology available. That's how I want to be seen, and treated. I plan on surgery to change what's in my pants. If I could get a menstrual cycle out of that, I would, and probably go on to have children (because infertility is another perk of transition). I don't have anything against the sorts of people I'm talking about- I want to be abundantly clear on that. Same with those who say, dont want bottom surgery. My frustration is more with the terminology, because there is a delineation there that I feel is erased. People decry older terms like transsexual as "outdated", but I feel it's much more apt for my experience. I am transitioning to the other sex (or as close as I can). My gender has been constant all the while
