Don’t call me that. By definition, the concept of rights (or the lack of them) applies to every group of people, so by definition, trans rights do exist. Whether you think we should have them or not, or whether you ‘think’ we exist or not (our existence isn’t up for debate), you just look stupid by saying our rights ‘don’t exist’.

There is no such thing as "trans rights", babydoll. There are only human rights, which all people have. There is not a single human right that only trans people have. If you agree with that, then stop saying trans rights because that implies specific rights that trans people have that others don't.

our existence isn’t up for debate

no one thinks trans people don't exist.

it's just impossible to become the opposite gender, and people who think they are or should be are mentally ill.

It seems like being super wealthy requires a certain lack of empathy. Is it educated in? Do the children simply imitate their parents? I know in England the culture of boarding school at 5 or 8 years old stunts the emotions and causes complex ptsd.

I just want to know why the rich are so completely unwilling to have us live stable lives, why they have congenital wealth blindness and cannot seem to understand how much they could do for others.

“I just want to know why all these people hate us and want us to suffer.” They don’t, you just made that all up and decided that’s what they think. There’s your answer.

[turtleduck-inc]

by this same logic, am i a bad person who's blind to other people's struggles if i spend £100 on a night out when that money could buy a homeless person food for weeks?

[michaelswifeyy]

It’s so annoying when we talk about sex workers about how Jesus loved them there is an annoying Christian saying that “yes but Jesus didn’t agree with their lifestyle”

OMGGG SHUT THE FUCK UP

[disgruntled-foreign-patriarch]

The directive "Go and sin no more" really bothers you huh.

[mornington-the-crescent]

"Love the sinner, hate the sin" is a pretty big part of Christianity.

[turtleduck-inc]

some people only want the unconditional support part of true love, without any of the holding you to account when your behaviour is damaging to yourself and those around you.

I need assistance adding to this list. For the record, I think that a collaboration of the following things is "Leftist Beliefs". And I think you fall under being a "Leftist" if you believe several of these things all at once.

Feel free to add to this. I know there are more but I'm a bit too tired to think right now.

Friday Video Poll

Our Voting System

Fandom

What it means to be bad faith

Dumb Discourse around New Stellar Blade

Remaining time: 2 days 3 hours

So. I'm possibly going to start letting people vote occasionally on what I end up talking about on my Friday videos. Hopefully in the near future, I get better at steam lining my content. And I hope that at some point I either have the time to edit my own stuff or, get an editor.

Regardless. Today's video is going to be about the Karmelo Anthony case and the people surrounding it. Not just about the case itself. As a person that's lived in Texas most of my life, I want to cover this. Especially as I know some of the people surrounding the reporting of the case.

Feel free to share the poll. Also feel free to suggest topics for the next poll. I might take a few and use them.

[yourtoradorasextendedwarranty]

Dear Lord. This is more tied than I thought. I know I put it for a week because you can't just pick 4 days but this is way closer than I figured it would be.

i didn't vote cause i have no opinion on this but honestly, this outcome is the funniest possible one anyway.

[theconstitutionisgayculture]

I hate that the sexuality flags even have colors in the first place. Because no one can even mix colors without it always representing the pride colors. Mixing those colors can be so beautiful, like the blue white and pink colors? It's really pretty but of course it HAS to represent being trans!

I truly love colors, as an artist, mixing them is also fun. It's just, I can't stand that it represents sexuality and pride people will happily point it out, as if it's an obsession

Yep. It's so annoying that you can't mix blue and pink anymore without a horde of balding men on estrogen pouring out of the cracks in the ground screaming "TRANS REPRESENTATION!" in their scratchy little voices.

[merthwyn]

I love the rainbow colours. I used to have a purse and a t-shirt with these colours. Of course I gave up on them. Everytime I see aomething with rainbow colours or any other combination of colours at a shop I refrain from buying it despite wishing I could buy it.

But I think this mentality is wrong. By not using combination of colours or not buying items painted with the rainbow colours we basically let them win.

We should start using colours again and start buying colourful products. Yes it might be obvious that the colours imply that a drawing or an item is designed for a certain group or for a certain message. Who cares?

I mean, just look at them. I erased the lgbt terminology underneath each one of them on purpose. Just look at the colours:

I LOVE most of the combinations. But I can barely use them nowadays. This mentality is WRONG.

Let's reclaim pink, white and blue again. Let's reclaim the rainbow again. Let's start wearing green, white and purple T-shirts, or buy blue, white and pink head bands, or buy a rainbow coloured phone case again.

Let colours be colours. And if the word "inclusive" means anything today, let's spread the message that colours are for EVERYONE. If the lgbt people want to keep using them, that's fine. But they don't BELONG to them. They don't OWN them.

[turtleduck-inc]

it's the absolute worst if it's kids stuff.

like if you dress your kid in any of the alphabet soup flag colour combinations and someone asks "aw, are they gay/trans/whatever? :)" you should look at that person the same way as if they'd asked if your kid has an onlyfans.

truly dads with new born babies v dads with children are two completely different people this man used to strap this child to his chest with a double chest wrap because he was terrified of giving her shaken baby syndrome and now he just kinda hucks her , I'll be sitting on the bed and all of a sudden my child just comes soaring towards me

[kaity--did]

Husband when child was newborn: you are my beautiful soft amazing little creature and I will be so gentle and lightly clean you softly and sing you sweet songs

Husband now that child is 4 years old: carries feral child upside down into the bathroom telling her she is a smelly little beast and she has to wash her butt while she sings him songs about spraying him with the shower head

[kaity--did]

Husband when child was newborn: "bath time and bed time is my special one on one time with my sweet baby angel where I tell her how special and soft and sweet she is and spend much needed time relaxing and getting her to relax and snuggling"

Husband now that child is 4 and "sturdy" (his words not mine): "bath time is my special time for hand to hand combat with my warrior princess where I teach her how to throw a punch and try to exhaust her enough that she passes out until tomorrow, and if that doesn't work I just start making deals like she's a mob boss and I am a desperate flunkie"

[kaity--did]

Husband when child was newborn: here is your hypoallergenic formula heated to the exact temperature that you need to have the thickening agent activate in a ulta double sterilized bottle my miracle NICU baby, it takes 25 -35 minutes to make but it is what we must do to keep you safe and healthy.

Husband now that child is 4: "I had to make her a breakfast snack of two eggs and toast before we go out to brunch because she was gnawing on the bars of her enclosure and I am frankly terrified of the small piranha she becomes when hangry."

need a bad sleep reset

this is a very delicate operation which involves not falling asleep until the late enough tomorrow that i can get a normal nights sleep

[voxelfoxkae]

[theconstitutionisgayculture]

So I actually fixed my sleep schedule earlier this year. I went from going to bed at 4AM and sleeping until 2PM to going to bed at 11PM and sleeping until 9AM. I performed this miracle by staying up a few hours later and waking up a few hours later each day for about a week until I was going to bed at 10PM and waking up at 8AM. It was a shitty week, but it reset my circadian rhythm like old planes used to start their engines with a shotgun shell.

[captainsquare]

I fixed mine by taking in a stray dog who turned out to be part coyote who will eat me if I wake up later than 8AM

[turtleduck-inc]

as someone who owned a dog who i was the dedicated "person who goes for walks with me" to, i think getting thrown out of bed in the morning by a dog that has needs that need tending to RIGHT NOW is a very dog owner experience.

... i should get a dog again.

Not only is having worldbuilding threads that are mentioned once and never picked up again not a flaw in fantasy media, I'd go so far as to say that a lack of such threads is a flaw. If everything ties up in one neat little package, you're missing the point of fantasy worldbuilding. Like, don't do it on every page, or your setting is going to be an overstuffed mess, but every so often you are not only allowed but obligated to casually drop some utterly batshit worldbuilding detail and then just never follow up on it. Maybe some rocks are sentient. You don't owe your reader an explanation. Just fucking go for it.

[saintofpride201]

We really fucked up when we made checkov's gun mandatory instead of just a high recommendation.

[unsolids-your-snake]

i'd argue that plot setups and worldbuilding are not the same thing.

This would have had me crucified on tumblr 10 years ago but maybe we are ready for this conversation now:

If you are a socially anxious person, you have to socialize. Your panic/anxiety attacks will only get worse and trigger more frequently if you constantly avoid contact with The Public. Not saying that you need to be a social butterfly- but there is a genuine problem with not being able to order your own meal at a restaurant. And it cannot be solved by always having someone else do it for you.

This is a PSA to about 3/4s of the Portland Youth populace

[nonaferatu]

everyone who reblogs this and is like "I ordered my own tea this week" or "I only barfed once when I had to give a presentation'- you are doing amazing sweetie. Have patience with yourself, you are relearning a skill so difficult that people get 4 year degrees to do it professionally.
