@juneuine@SZedkitty Gender is a social construct. Social constructs can be changed and molded by just saying they have been.
You are using transphobic rhetoric to exclude trans people who don’t fit your “Gender Realism” perspective.
@juneuine@SZedkitty you absolutely can..? Gender is a social construct and there has been trans people long before hrt. Hrt is a tool to aid people in feeling comfortable in their own skin, but it is optional in confirming their identity.
@futarch@orange_j0ee it implies that there IS a patriarchal colonizer standards in regards to gender identity and fitting into gender norms. The arbitrary yet strict “rules” needed to be seen as a “man” or “woman” is a result of these standards.
@futarch You don’t need hrt/conform to gender norms in order to be trans.
For some it helps, for others its not necessary.
Someone as hyper anti-conformity as Hobie, this is very much in character.
The accusation that I am antisemitic is appalling and fundamentally dishonest. Criticizing the actions of the Israeli prime minister, a military technology contract, or the executives who supply it is not the same as criticizing Jewish people. This critical and necessary dialogue is then dishonestly framed as being anti-Israel. To be clear, my views come from my own political convictions and should never be interpreted as hostility toward Jewish people, for whom I have deep love and respect. Everything I know about acting, activism, and humanism has been profoundly shaped by the Jewish friends, colleagues, and loved ones who have been integral and family throughout every point of my life.
This merger has real consequences for real people, and for the entire country. Scrutinizing the Ellisons, including Oracle’s business built on data, surveillance technology and government contracts, and the serious threat to editorial freedom and the loss of a livelihood for thousands of families, is fair and necessary. The $111 billion deal would hand one family control over CNN, HBO and Warner Bros., backed in part by foreign money whose influence on editorial decisions has never been fully explained to the public.
Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have called for serious national security review, and regulators still haven’t given the public a real answer. Until they do, the merger shouldn’t move forward. Now is the time to dive boldly into all these issues, not step back or concede.
@thesoypill@hasanthehun I’d rather let genocide supporting “moderates” crash and burn to make way for literally anybody else.
Lesser Evil politics doesn’t work when the evil is only being disguised behind being a college graduate.
@WabbyDole@SofabedSoc@HasanabiProd Hey guess what? Democratic Socialists are Socialists.
They arent liberals and they arent social democrats. They are socialists who participate in elections.
You’ve confused the concept of democracy with the democratic party.
