data is literally not even a man. often when someone has expectations of him that he will fulfill a masculine gender role, he is either unable or unwilling to do it. he doesn't want to hurt anyone, or be a jerk, or do something wrong. he wants to be a Human. he didn't choose his appearance and gender, but he let his daughter choose her own appearance and gender... another notable data gender moment is when the freud hologram assumes that he must feel emasculated by his lack of sexual desire, but he doesn't feel that way at all. what he actually feels is that he lacks something that humans have, not something that men specifically have. but data also is trying so hard to conform to the expectations of others and doesn't trust his own feelings because he doesn't even believe that he has any. it's so sad...

everyone rightfully complains about how the r word is back in vogue now but I think the people talking about how using ChatGPT makes you a small brained lazy degenerate are getting off way too easy

[thanatos-girl]

Yes I absolutely would actually?

The entire debacle with Imane Khelif is like the perfect illustration of how someone exempts themselves from misdirected transmisogyny by invoking and conforming to bioessentialist standards of womanhood; something a trans woman would not be able to do, as evidenced by the fact that no trans woman was allowed to compete in the event at all

[lady-viccy]

how many people came to defend imane on the basis of "she's not a tranny"?

how many people would come to defend a trans womans right to keep her gold medal?

get the fuck out of here

[gremlingirlsmell]

sorry to put you on blast, but

it is only technically true, that trans women were allowed to compete. they changed the rules specifically for the 2024 olympics in such a way to effectively ban 99.9% of trans women specifically from participating:

(effectively as in: transitioning is so gatekept that there's almost no country on earth where you are even allowed to transition this early, it is extremely gatekept even in the most "trans positive" legislations around the world, and also many just realize later in life, so this effectively bans most if not almost all trans women)

[airmetsierra]

The previous addition was correct at the time, but is already outdated. Trans women are now just completely banned from women's sports in the Olympics.

"the trans label isn't a shield against criticism!" yeah no it really isn't. sometimes i wish it was. sometimes i wish someone found out that the person they're being baited into hating is transfem and it makes them go "oh, wait, i might be being lied to and i might have biases that they're trying to take advantage of that i need to work on"

You can make a movie with where the only white character is a man named Ray Cism whose one line of his 16 seconds of screen time is “I seriously hate women and minorities.” and you’ll find fifty bajillion reader x Ray Cism fanfics and renaissance style drawings of him with a halo of golden light

watching more severance. mark's sister's doula saying yes to a second date is crazy. small towns are dire.

people see you identify a specific vulnerable group that they personally are not a part of and they instantly read it as an accusation. this is why people don't like being called white, or cis, or tme. it is obviously unreasonable to say that you as an individual are personally responsible for every bad thing that has ever happened, and that is not what it means when people say a basic statement like "men are privileged over women." but you are responsible for your own actions, and understanding your capacity for harm is the easiest way to avoid harming others. if YOU are the one thinking in terms of evil oppressor vs helpless victim, then you're never going to be comfortable accepting that anyone could ever be more vulnerable than you are. you will cry "oppression olympics" whenever somebody from a demographic you are not a part of says anything about themselves. i am not asking you to perform public penance for being a man. your guilt doesn't help me, or anyone else. just move through the world with a little more self awareness. you might find that this improves your ability to form positive relationships with women. just don't expect any special treatment for achieving the bare minimum and we'll be good to go.
