@oxfordmarlboro@Howlingmutant0 huge breasts make it hard to run, escape predators, join the military, sail, live off the grid, who knows what she'll do next
sure, that's nice, but that's not how extending rights to ppl in a democracy works. it's important that people give a fuck about the welfare of trans ppl, disabled ppl, midgets, children, or else laws would not be enacted to extend the necessary rights. you can look at the history of child labor in the us for an example
@hindulumpen@dash_eats yes indians subtlely police caste all the time, but its american so they transpose a hiearchical rigidly performative class system onto american values, like cars, working for tech companies, getting the right degrees, going to the right restrauants, etc etc
@TheAnna91@BriannaWu that's not how democracy works, it's not like, if you achieve idgaf about that guy you are guaranteed positive or natural rights, most people don't care about midgets, and they generally lead a terrible life....
ok but my point is, so they're nice to you -- how many of them voted or otherwise supported policies that make it weird to be gay in public, are on track to make gay marriage illegal again make it so gay people have less positive rights than straight people ? Nice is not what matters
@nntaleb could be good no -- the middle class might finally see themselves as a political class, rather than the default, neutral, bland, security class ?
@BriannaWu I don't agree with the stereotypical trans activist, but I think performing for narrow minded ppl who accept only a thin slice of humanity is a bad idea. Maybe you look what they'll politely accept, but politeness works about as well as shock for creating real change.
