If the minimum wage goes from $7.25 to $15, wages go up by 107%. Even if prices went up by 3.5%, the worker's paycheck doubled while prices rose by 3.5%. That is a massive net gain in real purchasing power.
@schatow@benryanwriter@washingtonpost The low response rate as does not correlate to incorrect hypothesis. Just because it’s not out of 839 anymore, doesn’t mean we can’t get similar results. It’s like how 1/10 is equal to 10/100
@EdJustEd1@DeathGo26129104@JLTAsphaltPoet@washingtonpost Sure, view it as us playing pretend and giving into a fantasy. But if that fantasy prevents me from feeling a disgusting bag of garbage, then I don’t fucking care. This “fantasy” doesn’t hurt you, me or ANYONE else, so why do you give such a damn?
@EdJustEd1@DeathGo26129104@JLTAsphaltPoet@washingtonpost So Please, for the love of god, stop telling us what we should do when you know NOTHING about what we go through. I can’t describe how much it hurts to see my body look masculine, how much it hurts to watch hair grow on my legs, and yall treat its nothing.
@Aromat864 Not to mention, Noelle doesn’t even recognize Queen when she meets her in the dark world. If she was part of the role play, would she not think it’s odd that her “dream” is taking upon the form of her old role play sessions?
@Vanessa73877327@_lua_xy@Mightie836@_LiaCore This is what I mean by a lack of empathy. Life is hard, but life is harder for some people and our goal should be to help and make it easier for them. You clearly can’t argue in good faith cause you lack such empathy to care for those who are hurting.
@EdJustEd1@DeathGo26129104@JLTAsphaltPoet@washingtonpost Just because DID is more serious than GD doesn’t mean we shouldn’t treat one? also DID is completely different because DID involves completely different versions of yourself acting irrationally. Gender dysphoria is still you on the inside.
@Vanessa73877327@_lua_xy@Mightie836@_LiaCore Even if we didn’t use feminine spaces, you’d go after us because the concept of someone feeling different makes you uncomfortable. I’m sorry if it does, but I’d prefer saving more people from suicide than risking you being uncomfortable. Sorry
@Vanessa73877327@_lua_xy@Mightie836@_LiaCore Again it’s not JUST feeling sad, it’s gender dysphoria which can result in people committing suicide. Say we didn’t even use feminine spaces, we still would need to take hormones and transition. Trans people are shown to be happier after transitioning
@Vanessa73877327@_lua_xy@Mightie836@_LiaCore 1: Address my argument about intersex people. Are intersex people any less of women or men just because they don’t fit into the binary and 2: it’s not just “feelings”, it’s a mental disorder called gender dysphoria. If left untreated it can cause harm.
@EdJustEd1@DeathGo26129104@JLTAsphaltPoet@washingtonpost Also the reason gender dysphoria isn’t classified as a mental illness is because cis people experience it too. Many men feel dysphoric if you dress them up in a skirt, put them in make up and tell them to live like a woman. Pretty simple
@Vanessa73877327@_lua_xy@Mightie836@_LiaCore Reality is the concept that being a woman/man is not connected to biological sex. For example: Intersex are born with no direct biological sex. So they present how they want based on how they feel. Does that make them less of a woman or man?
@EdJustEd1@DeathGo26129104@JLTAsphaltPoet@washingtonpost Even if it is a mental illness, why shouldn’t we treat it? It’s like refusing to give pills to a person with schizophrenia. A mental illness should be treated, not disregarded.
