My position on deep-sea exploration is simple: anything living 20,000 feet underwater with 400 teeth and a lantern growing out of its forehead is none of my business.
@HelenaLake2@angijones@MsGluck That’s an awful lot of assuming something of a person you don’t know, but you do you.
I know LOTS of people who want “everyone else to change to accommodate their wants, but not willing to reciprocate”-totally not a trans-exclusive trait.
I love the fact that MTG, Lauren Boebert, and Nancy Mace spent their entire time in Congress mocking Sarah McBride for being transgender and trying to have her banned from using any restrooms on Capitol Hill, and now Representative McBride is the only one of the four still in Congress.
Can you name all 59 women who came forward against Cosby? Can you name half of them? Can you name 5? Would you recognize them out of context? Do you want an autograph?
Cool so we agree that women don’t make rape accusations to become famous.
@HelenaLake2@angijones@MsGluck Assuming that because someone specifies a pronoun preference that they “won’t work well with others” IS discrimination. You’re making an assumption about the person based on a characteristic. What you mean is the inverse; “others won’t work well with him”.
@angijones Such a shame that you’d let the best applicant leave because of a one syllable pronoun that you’d rarely even have to use (first names exist for a reason). Everyone has priorities, however, and subpar employees with “acceptable” pronouns seem like one of yours.
'Whatever women wear, wherever they go, indeed whatever they drink, they retain the right to say no' says Judge Bennathan in the sentencing of Russell Brand.
Even though this should be common sense, it feels so moving to hear it said today
@nftgerry@Rahim_mahtab I should have the right not to have your death on my conscience because of a minor fender bender we were in that everyone *should* have walked away from. You ready to lose your life on the way to the store because someone didn’t use their blinker?
@nftgerry If the brain inside a head is not smart enough to try and protect the body and head the brain lives in and would like to continue to live in, well, I suppose a seat belt or helmet law *would* feel like oppression. But I hope you’re never rear-ended.
@QueenAnticommie That egg isn’t IN the bird, asshole. It isn’t gaining nourishment from the bird, rearranging the bird’s organs, changing the bird’s very skeleton. The egg can be sick and not kill the bird. The egg can be unviable, dead, and not kill the bird. Almost like not the same thing.
