did you ask nicely?

tbh I don't think most babies intend for anything the moment they're born
"It's complicated" is probably better for doctors and scientists. The other day I was filling out a "women only" medical form and about half of the questions were relevant to me.
And for a scientist, what exactly are they studying? For social science or psychology I'm an outlier no matter which gender or sex box you put me in; for reproductive stuff I'm closer to male but still somewhat of an outlier (because hormones); for various other medical things I'm closer to female (hormones again); neurologically idk, but there's evidence trans people tend to not match their AGAB here.
But yeah, normal people shouldn't care about any of that when just talking to me.
Also, optional value semantics. I love value semantics!
Pull the lever and run away
Registration on this instance is clear enough about what this instance is about, and this move is perfectly in line with it. The post isn't even for you.

Yeah, those people who experience harm really need to empathize with us who don't and the minor inconvenience we'd face if we grappled with harm. Think of the messaging!
Okay but [current system] can't fix it therefore it's unsolvable, and you're [insult] for trying.
I think that's an "MLM" but I don't like that so let's change it to wlw :3

Some more ideas:
I've seen many people take absolutists stances and throw accusations or insults at others who don't. While I applaud that they recognized serious problems, I want everyone to understand why I might take actions that seem to ignore or even worsen those problems: I only have so much power and so many options, none of which are ideal, so I do the best I can with what I have. I might prioritize stopping one bad thing over stopping another; that's not me excusing the other bad thing, that's me playing the cards I have to get the least bad outcome.
Personally, I base my moral decisions on expected outcomes. I would pull the lever in the trolley problem. I understand some people think me a monster for that, and I certainly wouldn't feel good pulling it, but I see it as me net saving people. I disagree with people that wouldn't pull it, but I see where they're coming from and I'm not mad at them (disappointed, maybe). Of course, as well as pulling the lever, there may be options to try helping the one person on the tracks, and we should definitely attempt such a rescue.
This whole topic can be applied to the do-i-vote-for-biden thing that this community seems divided over, but it's much more broadly applicable too.
Anyway, this is just me saying that I don't think the absolutist all-or-nothing approach some people take is a good idea, and I also don't like when some of them call me a bad person for not doing the same.

Two (presumably) girls lying in bed holding hands and looking at each other. The one on the left, labeled "Me" has shoulder-length hair, an uncomfortable :| expression, and is wearing a black hoodie, grey jeans, and sneakers. The one on the right, labeled "Also me" has longer hair, a subtle smile, a blush, and is wearing a dress and high heels.
Edited from this post, on which I commented "I wanna be both".
