I'm a gender fluid pansexual (xhe/xem/xyr). I'm also a philosophy teacher. My gender and sexuality don't affect my ability to teach.

@MerickRoger @kaeya_tempest @_nomadic_soul You: If a woman gets into a boat with a man she doesn't know & he tries to hurt her, it's her fault.

Also You: It's illogical for women to rather be alone in the woods with a bear than alone in the woods with a man they don't know.

@BraydenGriffit9 @we_are_dr3aming @dc_batfan @penguin74us @_nomadic_soul No one is saying every man is a rapist & you know it.

They're saying they would rather meet a bear in the woods than a man they don't know. That's it. Full stop.

Lots of men neither respect nor believe women. Congrats on showing everyone that you're one of those men.

@taylorwcyr Trolleyology is so fascinating to me.

On the one hand, it's absolutely meaningless because context & intent matter.

On the other hand, it's a useful pedagogical tool. Which is why I still use it.

@ask_aubry I have a neighbor who wears a bikini and puts her feet in a kiddy pool on hot summer days. I think it's awesome. The lady who posted this needs to take some responsibility for her kids.

@LiberMakka @jeanniebowie @ask_aubry It's not about a complete inability to make money. It's about an inability to make enough money to live off of. Lots of employers won't hire people with disabilities (unless it's at significantly reduced pay). And lots of disabilities make it impossible to work 40 hours/week.

@heatherdino09 @MariaLuckyxo @ArkinDawn @ask_aubry You're right that it isn't always a good thing, but, in this case, it is.

The person you're replying to put it in the context of this situation, where the woman DOES have friends who can help.

@ShamanzsHoldCat @ask_aubry Aww, are your feelings hurt? You poor little baby. You should go back to mama and ask for your binky. I'm sure that will make you feel all better.

@SharonDanielleB @Esqueer_ And that was 100% intentional, and 100% used to get black people back on plantations.

@DontMindMeIfIDo @ask_aubry Because, like, genetics, and stuff. Or something. 🤷

If you feel an urge to explain the cray, just remind yourself that it's cray.

@williamtaylor83 @ask_aubry I don't think peen size is the issue here. It's the "bad lovers" part. Most of them center their entire personality around being selfish gods who are owed sex, never bother to do any self-reflection or self-growth, and then blame women for not sleeping with them.

@KevinMosleyTalk @arghavan_salles Are you a man or AMAB? I ask because of your username.

If so, this doesn't surprise me in the least. Doctors are significantly more likely to believe pain reports by men than those by women.

If not, than hooray for your doctor.

@Dani_Neider @arghavan_salles "Stop moving." Stop stabbing me without any pain meds and maybe I will be able to comply with that request.

As though I was just moving for fun.

@FrescoJk @learning_to_die @arghavan_salles As someone who can taste everything that's put into my veins, being diluted doesn't matter. Some people (like me and apparently this women) are more sensitive to the taste than others.

I can tell different antibiotics apart. Telling plain saline from fentanyl saline is easy!

@MtShastaWriter @arghavan_salles Also here to say it's not given in the US, and also here to say not giving it is complete BS. Pain meds are given for comparable procedures done on men.

I screamed my head off. And both doctors acted like I was making a huge deal over nothing. F the entire US medical system.

@mtcolucci @CalltoActivism To backfire, they'd need to be paired with toxic encouragement. The example you gave is great: the coach kicked you off the team because he's a jerk.

But the single most important metric for future success of young kids is feeling loved. So something small like this is great!

@eddieizzard Congratulations on your public coming out, Suzy! I (still) think you're awesome!

I'm sorry so many people feel the need to insult you for your honesty & flexibility. And I'm sorry that Elon's new system makes them so visible.

Please remember that you're wonderful.

@MaebyKate @c_keefe @ask_aubry They only want freedom for people who agree with them. Everyone else is sub-human and, as such, doesn't deserve any kind of freedom.
