This is the biggest self-own, wow.

I cannot wrap my mind around this level of privilege. In all honesty I really can’t. I don’t think there’s a thing I could do to change your opinion and this nugget:

Not everyone is happy to open their wallets and bust out the walking shoes for just any generic liberal candidate.

Suggests you or others with your opinions won’t vote because… she’s generic? Or didn’t do enough yet? And claiming that Biden dropping out won’t end the genocide, so let’s not see it as positive?

What saint would you prefer we vote in? Can you explain how they are both morally spotlessly pure AND have a snowball’s chance in hell? If you’re convincing enough, maybe that second coming of Jesus will lead us to a utopia. /s

Some of us are not in the position of being able to use a foreign tragedy as our stopping block. Some of us have our rights and safety on the line.

There’s a ton of trolls in here who can’t celebrate anything good while anything bad is happening. Yes, his response to the genocide in Israel was abysmal. I have no illusions that the right would have done any better, and in fact believe Trump would have thrown more fuel on it. I’m ecstatic that Biden is not running again so that maybe Kamala can finally fucking do something about it. But I think we can take five seconds to admit that he did a lot of good for our country in other ways and made the right call here in dropping out.

For those who won’t budge:

There’s literally no winning, huh? Any flaw or misstep is enough to complain about and use as a reason to abstain or be an accelerationist. Y’all will claim Biden and Dems are monsters for their flaws. All that does is hurt the sane side of our government and make the actual fascists who have done so much worse have a better chance at taking over.

Can y’all please please please not let perfect be the enemy of good for once in your miserable life? This thinking is what brought us Trump in the first place, and while I can agree we need to do better, start at the local level, because only caring when we’re on another brinkmanship presidential race makes you look like short-sighted toddlers.

Enough details for you to be upset now, or do you think the pot of water possibly had a gun?

Welp, let’s do that thought exercise again, I’ll take what you said and apply it to another, larger, more widely-accepted minority:

“A black person is never going to be entered into the 400 meter dash, that’s just how the world works. The sooner you accept that, the better. That doesn’t mean he should be treated with any less respect. But it’s not going to change the first fact.”

Whenever I substitute the minority you chose, I find that you are vile and your opinion means nothing. You sound exactly like the racists and bigots that came before you.

EDIT: Also, I’m not your fucking mother and this is where I block you. If you want to be a better person, work on how you view the world. You can say you had an old-school upbringing, but we’re actively watching that be pushed out of society because it causes more harm than good. Your survivorship bias and ignorance is not a shield, moron.

It’s not if I see trans women as women or not. It’s if anyone has that doubt in their mind, and others clearly do; and these things have to be set for the sake of the most people - and sorry, but there are still more people who feel unsafe with you in womens spaces than there are people like you who would otherwise be wronged by the decision.

… “It’s not if I see black people as people or not, it’s…” That’s how you sound to me. I hope you realize that.

You see me as worth less than the average person simply because I’m different from the average person.

Fucking bigot. From the bottom of my heart, fuck you.

Also, if it looks like a sealion, talks like a sealion, walks like a sealion, and vomits shit up like a sealion, it’s a sealion. If you don’t understand, I don’t really care.

Only pure-blooded scotsman are allowed to compete. ^/s

There are lots of women who are legitimately less trusting of men than they are a wild animal who will maul your face off.

I’m not a man, and your original comment seems to agree with that, but this says otherwise. You would never use this excuse if you actually saw trans women as women.

as best as I can reconcile that with my belief that women need places they can escape men entirely if needed.

Then you should understand why I, a trans woman, would like to be included in the space matching my gender.

I grew up being taught to give guidance and tolerance to those who are ignorant or bigoted, but this is the end of my rope. Do better.

Regarding the sports bans, trans individuals do not generally get a significant advantage against their cis peers. In the case of trans women, they are often are at a detriment in sports due to the lack of testosterone in their body that’s naturally there even in cis women. We haven’t seen clear cases of trans individuals standing out against their cis peers consistently and the argument that excluding such a small group works both ways. Unless trans folks are somehow world-class by default, excluding them from their gendered sport is moot and if anything cruel.

One place I see compromise (at least with trans women, I have no idea how men’s sports handles trans men since they need to take Testosterone) is requiring a certain number of years of HRT. Those who just started HRT might have an advantage, but after a few years they are around the same level as or further behind their peers.

EDIT: I’m a tiny bit more conflicted now reading some other comments I’ve seen you make. I feel like you’re coming from a genuinely good place though. I hope you continue to expose yourself to different ideas and keep learning and growing. ^_^

EDIT 2: :barks like a sealion: iykyk

EDIT 3: My only regret is that I only have one downvote to give.

You, figuratively:

“What if she deserved to be shot in the head?”

You, literally:

“I didn’t verbatim say that! So you’re wrong! Checkmate!”

Go find some rope, holy shit.

This warning is for LGBTQIA+ though. No way in fuck is it less safe in the US overall compared to a huge number of countries with that context.

Astroturf harder buddy, there’s boots to lick.

Like I said, I can read. Gaslighting doesn’t work when there’s receipts. Fuck yourself.

I had typed out a long response detailing what transgender care is, why it’s different from “old care” that “everyone” gets, and why you’re uninformed. I even had https://genderdysphoria.fyi/ lined up as a website to help you learn more.

But I have eyes and I am literate. I am able to read how you respond to others.

You’re a cunt and you don’t deserve the basic respect you deny others constantly. I will not sit here and debate my existence with you and I don’t think anyone should take you seriously in any way. If you have such a problem with trans people, consider gouging your eyes out and piercing your eardrums with a pencil yourself so you no longer need to perceive us.

true that lol

You’re falling for their sealioning and moving goalposts. Take a sec to think about what you’re arguing and where this conversation started at the top of the thread. There’s no winning, please save your energy and don’t give this troll any more attention. You don’t deserve to have your effort squandered on a closed mind.

You were taking it seriously?

Sorry, I mean :sea lion bark:

Sounds like you read a Wikipedia article. Sinkage sounds like you made it up. How does that make you an expert on the millennium tower?
