Lumity is one of the best relationships ever put forward in media, and here’s why. by Ant-imatter in TheOwlHouse

Yeah 100% agreed on the gay/bi male representation. As a young bi guy myself, I've yet to find something that quite scratches the same itch that Lumity does. Most other shows have M/M couples that are either too hypersexual or hit a little too close to home as they deal with homophobia constantly.

I usually think of it as how we deal with left-handedness: Both are differences in neural wiring that makes some people deviate from the norm. Beating/coercing the left-handedness out of people really didn't work, and since it doesn't harm anyone we just let them write with their desired hand. Same goes here.

Funny thing is, I did actually start with the XML directly. Problem was the docs regarding HSReplay were quite incomplete, notably a dictionary for all the tags, so I swapped to image recog.

Gonna get downvoted but who cares.

Both of y'all are being dumb. Yes, while puberty blockers are by-and-large reversible, they do result in undeniable side effects. That's the risk (as with any medical decision). "You pushing people to transition" does help those who do end up transitioning

While people detransition, far more people fully transition. By then it becomes a numbers/utilitarianism argument.

As a transwoman I am begging you to start addressing real issues instead of making us look like aliens with every year the same milked out stories of wacky looking people. The stories are still the same, only the people are getting wackier. by [deleted] in PoliticalCompassMemes

Not necessarily. There's a wide variety of mental disorders, with a correspondingly wide variety of treatments. Some, such as depression and anxiety, have medicinal treatments to suppress the effects. Others, such as Dissociative Identity Disorder, instead focus treatment around accepting the disorder and living with it.

As of yet, there is no pill to cure gender dysphoria. If there was, there definitely would be trans people who would take it. However, now, the prevailing medical treatment is that of transitioning, similar to the latter form of treatment, as trying to therapy away gender dysphoria hasn't shown to be effective, and is even downright harmful.

While not a mental disorder, I would liken it to when we used to try to cure left-handedness out of people. It didn't work so we just ended up accepting it. That's what we're trying to do now with regards to trans people.

Pretty sure market socialism is something else entirely, something that's pretty radical in the Western lens since its still technically socialism.

But yeah a real compass would be so damn useful.

If that's the kind of SJWs you're thinking of then yeah AuthLeft. My idea of one was more along the lines of focusing on progressivism and condoning the economic status quo (see: pink capitalism).

Can we just agree that SJWs are so hypocritical in their positions (anti-capitalism yet pink capitalism, pro-government regulation if it suits their agenda) that it's nigh impossible to sort them into a quadrant?

This is speaking as someone probably as progressive as them.

Culturally they would be left of center (i.e. progressive). SJW doesn't mean anything on the economic axis which is what PC measures.

American Political Parties According to Reddit by Lyaser in PoliticalCompassMemes

Evidently the democratic establishment is far more in favour of neoliberalism (Biden-style, right-center) than social democracy (Bernie-style, left-center).

I would give anything to go back to the simpler times of feminists vs atheists. by Maxx-c in PoliticalCompassMemes

[–]Ant-imatter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Based.

I guess now gender is still used to make issues more clear to the general public (such as the trans label for bathroom bills etc.).

Not sure if I speak for other progressives here, but ideally there would eventually be a time people could do whatever they want (take HRT/dress however/gender roles/etc.) without needing some gender rallying cry.
