Courts have been doing this forever (including during dem presidencies). It’s not an overreach, it’s part of the basic function of federal courts. Why are you deliberately ignoring the facts of the matter?

Does his criticism of the gay rights movement actually have anything to do with gay rights, or is it all just transphobia?

Anyways, I read a review that said the next three episodes are an improvement, and another that really liked the last episode, so I’m optimistic that this will end up being one of the better MCU shows all things considered (Ep 3 already puts it above a number of them)

I enjoyed Loki S1 and I really liked Hawkeye, but I’ll still admit they they didn’t feel like TV shows to me, and more like stretched out movies that happened to be good enough that even their elongated Act 1s were enjoyable.

I think a better example of would be imagining if the media criticized politicians for being Christian,(politicians who actually ARE trying to force their religious beliefs on other people)

I’m aware, but being justifiably angry at Israel does not equate to being able to justifiably kill civilians.
comment in response to
post
I understand why Palestinians would oppose the Israel, but Oct. 7 wasn’t attacking Israel, just civilians.

My point is that support for something is not an immutable characteristic, and that people aren’t necessarily irredeemable and deserving of death based on how they’ve been lied to.
comment in response to

That may be the government’s reason for it, but I’m under the impression that most Israelites have in favor of the war did so because they wanted revenge.

A good chunk of the civilians in Gaza also support Hamas. At one point 3 in 4 viewed October 7th favorably. Often it comes down to propaganda and cognitive dissonance.
comment in response to

People grieving tragedy by wanting to kill other people guilty by association is…why Gaza has been attacked for all this time.

Civilians aren’t aggressors

Confused by use of the word “slop”, but yeah, that guy is a lunatic.

I love my designs, but they’re a bit unconventional for starters, so I don’t expect they’ll get in. Still going to hold out hope though!

I would be fine with this solution.

We were having a discussion about a scenario where rapists are sent to men’s prisons. Reread our convo, and sit back down before accidentally insulting yourself again.
comment in response to
post
A: Not dim, literally just answered your question. You said “why should they be sent there” and I responded. I didn’t accuse you of supporting rape (though that is what sending trans women to a men’s prison means)
B: Not a shield. Trans women are women. Women prison. Makes sense.
comment in response to
post
A: because less rape is a good thing, and no one deserves to be raped.
B: because they’re not men in any way that counts. It’s like saying redheads don’t count as women because they have an abnormal psychical feature

That’s bigotry more so than fearmongering. If someone were to say “trans people shouldn’t be in women’s prisons because they’re dangerous” that would be fearmongering. That’s was GC leaders do. What you’re doing is bad, and harassment if said to trans people, but otherwise ignorable.
comment in response to
post
In the event that trans rapists are sent to men’s prisons and normal trans people to women’s, there is no danger.
comment in response to
post
It’s irrelevant to trans matters, that’s what I mean.
I’m not accusing you of fear mongering. I’m talking about all the people who lead the GC movement.
comment in response to
post
If someone has to be exposed to a risk (which is the current system of prison) then I would opt for the scenario that puts the least amount of people at risk. In the rare case of a trans rapist, then that would mean a men’s prison. For everyone else, it means a women’s.
comment in response to
post
A: “biological reality” is irrelevant to psychological reality (though technically brains are biological, so trans being true is still bio reality)
B: every GC with a following spends their days fearmongering and getting rights removed. That’s who I’m talking about.
comment in response to
post
If I were in charge of where every single criminal went, then no I wouldn’t. I also wouldn’t condemn every trans person in jail to be sexually tortured every day
comment in response to
post
Maybe you’re an exception. I don’t know. But GCs whole thing is promoting laws to take away trans rights and spreading fear about trans people.
comment in response to
post
You think we should let trans people get raped in men’s prisons constantly instead of letting them be sent to women’s prisons, and nobody gets raped?
comment in response to
post
Never talked about heretics. Am I not aloud to dislike shitty people? Because GCs aren’t people who “disagree” they actively try to remove trans people’s rights and harass them.
comment in response to
post
Trans women are much more likely to get raped in men’s prison (it’s literally a whole thing) than a woman is to get raped by a trans woman. Also being put in prison doesn’t mean you’re a rapist.

Your source contradicts your claims
comment in response to
post
A: they’re objectively not. One only need to look at the right wing disinformation machine to see where the hate is coming from
B: Never saw any specific criticisms from Lawyer, just blaming victims for their own suffering.

I never said gender criticals aren’t treated poorly (not that that is a bad thing). You’re strawmanning or misreading my words.
comment in response to
post
Not an ideology. Trans women and men literally have the part of the brain relating to identity that corresponds with their identified gender. Where do you think dysphoria comes from?
Not saying she didn’t change her body in a way she no longer series - but that her own choice, no one else’s.
comment in response to
post
Dismissing facts that contradict the narrative of a group because a person that group told not to like said them is literally how cults works.
comment in response to
post
A: it’s not an ideology
B: it’s pretty easy to know what transphobe’s positions are by research or just reading their tweets
C: she probably IS still trans (statistically very few detrans people are not still trans)
D: If she’s not trans, then she has no one to blame but her own choices
comment in response to
post
Lawyer? She’s mentioned several times recently how she dislikes the trans community, and went so far as to blame them for the rise of transphobia being targeted at them. She’s also been welcoming open transphobes into her world, which means that she at minimum isn’t opposed to transphobia.
comment in response to
post
It seems pretty clear that have agreed to become friends to me. And toxicity can’t have anything to do with it, or else she would not be speaking with JKR of all people. Also, I have plenty of compassion - but my concern that Lawyer is going to pivot into a transphobia career outweighs it.
comment in response to
post
said it wouldn’t surprise me, I didn’t necessarily condemn them. Though being friends with bigots like JKR is certainly something worth being condemned, no? If someone was friends with a white supremacist, would you still be unsure of their views?
comment in response to
post
Whatever The Pissed off Lawyer does with themselves in the future is yet to be seen, though I certainly wouldn’t be surprised if they took this route seeing as they’ve already expressed how important it is to them to reduce the number of MTF trans people, and they’ve cozied up with bigots.

Basically all the celebrity detrans people whose entire claim to fame is being detrans. They use their existence to try to invalidate the existence of actual trans people. I don’t remember their specific names, but there’s a handful on twitter.
comment in response to
post
(And again, I’ve literally seen no ill comments towards older trans people?)
comment in response to
post
They don’t really treat destrans people like anything? Unless they’re grifting bigots, in which case, why would anybody go out of their way to be nice to them? Ironic to call trans people a cult for being “mean” given the kinds of comments you make.

John Oliver has a great video debunking a lot of the myths around trans women having an “advantage” at sports (in some sports they actually do worse!)
comment in response to

Strawman. I didn’t bring up being a “better person” I’m talking consequences of actions, which are objectively measurable. Republicans do bad things. Centrists do nothing. If you think supporting bad things makes you a bad person and not doing so makes you a better one (reasonable) that’s on you
comment in response to
post
You use the word “perfectly” (no such thing) to try to turn this into some kind of strawman, but what I described is generally how it goes. Republicans literally destroy lives for profit, & centrist dem types in power are more concerned with not appearing extreme + “normalcy” than doing things.

When the thinking is “make the world a better place” instead of “actively make it worse” or “attack the people trying to make it better and do nothing else” then yes.
