Can't get the thoughts that this earth was made for psychopaths off my mind

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 15 points 5 months ago (1 children)

If it's any consolation, psychopaths have suffered serious setbacks these past 500 years or so.

The vast majority of human history operated on gift economies. Oppressive systems of government (and governments in general) are much more of a recent invention in the grand scheme lf things.

Through immediate violence, not sitting around for years and years waiting for a legal option that may never come and if it does will be rigged meanwhile innocent people are suffering each day.

This is where I fall off with liberals. "Lose the Trans talking points, they are holding the DNC back."

How about first we try losing the DNC talking points. They've been in charge this whole time and I didn't see trans people allow fascism to wash over the states while they were at the head of the government.

And the far right took that personally

[–] defaultusername@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 5 months ago

Well clearly it's my trans neighbor with no money and no power who is making me not have free healthcare, unions, and a house and not billionaires.

I support trans people's right to exist and to be able to live happy lives 🤘 ❤️ crazy how so many transphobes obsess over trans people. most of them haven't even met a trans person

[–] Witchfire@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Any transphobe I've had the misfortune of talking to has met a trans person. Most of them don't notice. One of them repeatedly hit on me.

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 9 points 5 months ago

I always equate these things just to human rights and the fact that someone is trans doesn't automatically negate their right to live or be happier or prosperous. The fact that they're trans should have no effect on basic human rights.

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 4 points 5 months ago

Most of them probably have, but didn't notice.

the whole (he/him) in my email signature was a wild ride... like do I add it even though I'm CIS/hetero/boring? I see all the middle aged white women in my office doing it, and that means it's a few weeks from HR making a vague rule about it... I'm not conservative, but I don't want to be some fake virtue signaler, since I don't really know any trans people... but I don't want to give some kind of passive approval of intolerance by NOT adding it... will HR flag me if I do add it? or if I don't?

I support the trans agenda, the gay agenda, the woke agenda, and the Hyena Agenda.

I support not hating or attacking people for their uniqueness and individuality but I'm not going to wear a badge or wave a placard. I will speak up or attempt to defend anyone being hated or attacked but I don't have a chip on my shoulder and am not looking for a fight. Don't take any shit from the haters. Haters are less, you are not!

Survive and thrive!

[–] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

My transmission is a whiny bitch and should not have it's agenda supported!

Wait we're talking about trans folks? Sure I'll support them.

[–] KingPorkChop@lemmy.ca 5 points 5 months ago

My trans is an automatic. It's fine, but I much prefer the manual ones with the stick I can really wrap my hand around and slide up and down and up and down........ and up and down.

[–] raspberriesareyummy@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

"non-trans" normal person here, and I think everyone who has a problem with trans / queer / whatever people is a fucking moron. I absolutely support the "trans agenda"

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 6 points 5 months ago (17 children)

Gentle FYI for you today, the term for non-trans is cis or cisgender. 💜

My stance is as they say in Poland.

Not my monkeys, not my circus. I just dont care.

It doesn't affect me in the slightest, other than a minimal amount of the taxes i pay go towards treatment of their illness. Although, i find it slightly hypocritical that they are allowed to start changing gender before 18. Would seem that many other things should be allowed before 18 aswell in that case.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I can't speak as to Polish law, but kids are allowed to do quite a bit before the age of 18 in the US. Going on puberty blockers - to delay a puberty that could damn well be an irreversible scar on the psyche - is hardly an opening for a shakeup of the legal position of minors.

[–] teslasaur@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Not Polish, its just a Polish saying.

I'm not convinced that a kid can make that judgement. Certainly not before puberty. But that might just be my own unwavering feeling of comfort in my own sex talking.

If a doctor makes a judgement of it, then my opinion doesn't matter.

[–] PugJesus@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Puberty blockers aren't OTC, they're prescribed by doctors. The kid's not making the judgement so much as they're bringing up the medical issue to a professional.

I was diagnosed with depression at a fairly young age, just entering into my teens, but I only got in to see a psych to begin with because I was worried enough to self-advocate. Can't really imagine what it would be like if I was told that I was too young to understand depression and turned out on my metaphorical ass.

What's wrong with vacuum tubes?
