the world needs more clear eyed personal responsibility. if you eat meat (particularly from industrial farms) you should be comfortable admitting that you don't care about all animals in the same way because that is just necessarily true?
I’m a trans woman, and I will be the first to tell you that trans identities should not be marketed to children at school.
I was a trans child in Mississippi in the 80s. No one needed to mention trans people existing in kindergarten. Being a girl was only thing I could ever think about from my earliest memories.
Trans children need medical help with clinicians. Marketing these identities to non-trans children just confuses them and damages them. Anyone can look at the stats and see it leads to social contagion.
Actual trans children are rare, and we shatter without help. It’s harder to get help when we’re confusing mass numbers of teen girls going through an utterly normal frustration with their bodies during puberty.
ppl be like “ah yes the natural food chain” meanwhile animal agriculture takes up over 33% of all land on earth & contributes more to climate change than all our transportation systems combined! so normal and natural!x
I truly don’t understand what’s the outrage towards Billie saying you can’t love animals if you eat meat, SHES RIGHT I’m tired of animals not being seen as the living creatures they are, all the suffering they go through since they’re born to just be slaughtered.
I get the Platner camp’s logic in withdrawing from the 5 scheduled debates, yet this move cuts short important policy discussions and conversations and shortchanges Maine voters, most of whom haven’t fully focused on June’s primary election. I hope he’ll reconsider #MEpolitics
People keep jumping in to “well ACTUALLY agricultural practices are harmful too” without considering that maybe, just maybe, what she’s actually saying is that she thinks loving a sentient being is incompatible with the act of killing and eating it
