[controversialpolling]

yet another poll blog 😀

since problematique-polls, and problem-polls and problematic-polls before them, seem to be abandoned, I am throwing my hat into the ring to continue the legacy

general overview:

- I do not endorse any views being expressed in the polls, I am just releasing them to you all to vote on

- the only polls that will get deleted and not posted is anything that explicitly violates Tumblrs TOS.

- I will add trigger warnings at my own discretion, but I am not perfect. feel free to let me know if there should be a tw added.

how do you feel about schools banning desserts and processed food for lunch?

I think its a good thing

neutral/naunce

I think it's a bad thing

(personally as someone with an eating disorder i think its a bad thing and we shouldn't be moralising food as good or bad. I worry this will cause more children to develop eating disorders)

over the past year or so ive noticed that one of the popular responses about transphobia in sports is to express displeasure with gendered leagues existing at all. like, the professional womens hockey league in north america doesnt have a gender inclusion policy, so the league shouldnt exist and the cis and trans women interested in hockey should be playing in the "mens" leagues like the nhl or ahl.

i don't think ive seen anyone outright call it bioessentialism but it feels like that's the crux of the argument against having womens leagues. also imperative to note that as far as im aware, there is nothing in paper that prevents women from playing in the major sporting leagues in america (like the nhl/mlb/nba/etc)

so i guess before i spend time being all annoyed at this, is this genuinely something people believe?

are you in favor of getting rid of all gender segregated sporting leagues? y/n

can gay cis women reclaim the pink triangle symbol?

no, it's for gay men and trans women (people who would've actually worn the symbol in concentration camps) only

yes, just because they didn't wear that specific symbol doesn't mean they weren't persecuted for being gay, the symbol is bigger than it's origin

Would it be ableist to stop talking to one of my friends about more serious topics as often due to their comprehension issues? [Yes, Nuance, No, Results]

I've spoken to them about it before. I know that they can't help it. But it's still so frustrating how many times I have to rephrase and explain what I mean.

On several occasions it's taken either nearly or over 15 minutes to get them to understand what I mean. Even when the original message, that I thought was clear, was very short

An example of this, would be when I mentioned how I had gotten catcalled the other day and they thought I was talking about fictional characters, resulting in them going on a short rant about how "It doesn’t matter because theyre fictional characters and nobodys getting hurt!" and how people who say things like that about fictional characters are disgusting

I don't mean cease contact completely as I still care about them, regardless of how much it annoys me. But I'm just so frustrated with things like this happening when we talk about anything semi-serious

Please excuse any typos, it is nearing midnight and I'm tired.
