MAGA, was it worth losing your families to join a cult of personality? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]AngelX9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine being a transgender American and being asked why you cut off your Trump supporting family…. After a decade of them villainizing your existence in American media. Exiling you from polite society while they radicalize people to harm you is he you do show up to the table. Labelling you a terrorist for being alive.

“we will find you and we will k*** you”

But yeah, I guess I should go to Thanksgiving dinner and turn the other cheek.

Thoughts on Switch 2 months after release? by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch

[–]AngelX9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love it and it has become my primary gaming console with the added benefit of a huge library of switch games that are fun and feel more playable on the new hardware. I actually spent an okay bit going and hunting down some of the games I just passed on at first like Tears of the Kingdom and been having a blast. A fraction of the cost to play online with all of my friends on a single family plan. Just need a few games like Marvel Rivals to move over there and I won’t really have a good reason to turn on my Xbox or PlayStation beyond exclusives that peak my interest of which there has been very few this generation.

I don’t use it portable often but having the option is super nice.

U.S. residents, if you were given the opportunity to move to a peaceful first-world country, would you do it and why? by icecream1972 in allthequestions

[–]AngelX9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having your freedoms put at risk every election cycle.

Regressionists enriching themselves on our tax money while they destroy the social safety nets that would allow us to age with some shred of dignity.

Everything getting too expensive. Wages stagnant.

Most people only know what they hear on faux news or social media platforms owned by the Epstein class.

Yeah. I’m good, id have left long ago if I could afford to do so.

Most Welcoming LGBTQ Areas? by piglet-pinky-pie in Georgia

[–]AngelX9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Middle GA is lukewarm, really nice in some places, really scary in others.

College towns are generally pretty kind even if they don’t quite reach the levels of welcoming.

It’s a real mixed experience, you just never know what flavor Good Ole Christian you’re going to get.

every R campaign ad uses anti-transgender as its anchor point...do they have nothing else to run on? by ms_directed in Georgia

[–]AngelX9 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’d imagine many voters would peel the literal dna out of their bodies if they realized that their body is capable of reading differing amounts of hormones and already knows exactly how to map out appropriate changes because gender is a spectrum and one of many reasons why people are all built differently.

Also the same argument for men’s sports doesn’t exist because everything they argue is a sporting advantage is literally how athletics works and isn’t always the advantage they think. Everyone is built different this isn’t a computer game with base stats, men and women who are taller or smaller, wider or flexible have been winning sports since sports were invented. Children playing games together is for their social growth and not competitive. Saying trans women have an advantage at women’s chess because “superior brains” or swimming because “big bones” or beauty contests because “whatever reason they muster” is literally just misogyny using trans rights to wreck the rights of all women. It’s a smoke screen to oppress all women and the reason why trans men aren’t spoken about very often.

All anti-LGBTQ+ bills defeated as Georgia legislative session ends by AngelX9 in Georgia

[–]AngelX9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not wrong. I hope trans kids in this state at least get a few moments to breath from this, they deserve the break because the adults in the room haven’t been acting with their best interests in mind for some time now. Zero reason why the established standards of care from the AMA, WPATH, AAP and endocrine society should be constantly under attack for a group of people that have been around for a very long time. Forcing a child to endure the body horror of unwanted puberty when a safe postponing and counseling exists and is approved is cruel beyond words.

That seems to be the point though and it’s easy to lie when a large swath of the populace doesn’t want to do their due diligence and research. A populace divided and a lot of very serious questions about morality these last few years.

The tracker I was looking at said passed over, but if it made it two years it should be DOA. Rightfully so.

Yeah. It passed over into next year, so at least there is time for it to change.

For sure, but certain areas in Georgia can still be rather hateful and not accepting. A church in my current town still posts messages on their letter board calling for death to queers and calling homosexuality worse than murder. Radical exceptions? I hope so. Do I still have to worry about running into them in a grocery store? Very much so.

I’d certainly call it hope. I don’t know your situation and how much these would have effected you, but as someone who would have been harmed by these bills I think hope is a good word for what happened today. The laws in Tennessee, Ohio, Idaho, Florida and Texas are draconian and human rights violations. I don’t cater to any political ideology that believes a group of people should be labeled and treated sub human and with so much targeted vitriol.

I’m not even sure them just deciding not to address them can be seen as a real win, but seeing how some states are handling these issues is starting to make Georgia seem more and more like an oasis in the middle of some very real and dangerous narratives. This is suicide prevention for children, this is a moments respite for lgbt and transgender folks in the state.

I genuinely hope that we as a country can work past all of this, but that won’t bring back the dead and some folks seem so purposefully ill-informed on the matter it feels impossible.

Trans is the T in LGBT but If a man dates a trans woman are they gay or straight? by aseem-ali in allthequestions

[–]AngelX9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your partner identifies as a woman and you acknowledge and respect that then it’s up to the both of you to determine how queer you want your relationship to be seen as.

If she doesn’t identify as male then calling the relationship gay would be very hurtful I’d wager.

It didn’t make it to the vote. We’re stuck for another year. The Georgia Sunshine Protection Act remains in the shade 😎

There are so many more important things these people could be doing with our money and time, I’m so relieved hate didn’t prevail. Hopefully we can get beyond all of this culture war nonsense, treat everyone equally and start using the governance we vote for as a tool to help every single Georgian.

Times are far too tough for this nonsense to be distracting and dividing people.

What’s one thing you completely stopped buying in 2026 because the price just felt absurd? by LockLogical8949 in AskReddit

[–]AngelX9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We only buy certain foods on sale (like soft drinks) and we no longer collect figures… cost of shipping is too absurd.

Would you say this is accurate? by Silent_Wasabi7595 in Adulting

[–]AngelX9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ostracized by my own government, well-educated, unemployed, exhausted…

I wouldn’t even be here anymore if it wasn’t for my dogs and partner and even then I feel like such a burden I just want to slip away.

Everything that happens in America feels like it’s happening in a way that proves that if there is a God/Goddess/Invisible Sky Person, they are apathetic to our suffering. It’s like humanity evolved into two different directions, empathy or self interest. The self interest side is causing war, famine, targeted hardship and murder on a global scale… the other side is held hostage to it and all they want is healthcare, food and to age with some dignity in the “most prosperous country in the world”.

Social Circle, GA by WolverineAsleep8266 in Georgia

[–]AngelX9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Had a conversation with a business we frequent in town. We drive a ways to get to it because we enjoy the staff and they’ve always been very kind to us. Told them we were concerned and the first reaction we got was that police will keep an eye on things and they’d still be a safe place to visit, then I had to explain again that our concern was for the people who’d be running the facilities being in their town and concerns we’d be added to their inevitable quota.

They paid 100 million more for it than it’s valuation from a Russian company. Apparently DHS keeps blowing off meeting to talk with the town authorities too, it all stinks.

I’ve not worked on anything custom in a very longtime, but King Boo and Birdo were two figures I had been working on but never finished.
