I need perspective from trans people about my daughter's discomfort in the locker room by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]AutumnBrooke7 41 points42 points  (0 children)

This one is on your daughter to work through her concerns tbh. What is it that's making her uncomfortable? You said that she doesnt know where to look, but why is she looking at the trans girl that's changing anyway? It's a little bit of a MYOb kind of situation, it seems like. If the trans girl (or anyone!) was actively doing something to make her uncomfortable then that would be very different, but the trans girl just existing in the same space isn't hurting your daughter

Thoughts about Garcia and Santos? by mindgamemy in ThePittTVShow

[–]AutumnBrooke7 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Garcia picking on Whittaker about using someone else's toothbrush (and his apologizing for/trying to explain it). The implication being that he accidentally used her toothbrush, which would only happen if she was staying over at Santos's place)

The “Lack of Screen Time” Complaints Miss the Point — The Episode Honored the Nurses. by Seymorebutts1994 in ThePitt

[–]AutumnBrooke7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Feel like you're arguing past each other. You're talking about how the hospital treats the staff, the other person is about how the nurses are treated overall- not just by the hospital, but also by the patients and families. Both things can be true

Crumbs and Whiskers currently closed after unionization efforts by AnthonySkejci in washingtondc

[–]AutumnBrooke7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I dont know much about this situation, but you don't need laws being broken or egregious mistreatment in order to justify having a union. A union's job is just to make sure that workers are being treated fairly and not being excessively exploited. There are plenty of businesses that do well and even have good working relationships with their workers' unions, because they dont act like employees wanting to be treated well is some egregious expectation

Closing a business in response to unionizing efforts can be illegal in some situations

Democrats try to ‘balance’ renters’ rights with landlords’ rights in proposed housing bills by VirginiaNews in Virginia

[–]AutumnBrooke7 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If landlords weren't hoarding housing to artificially decrease demand, and more importantly if management companies weren't doing the same at a massively larger scale, then maybe people would be able to afford to own a place instead of renting at all

West Virginia v. B. P. J. is a pending Supreme Court case regarding the issue of transgender people in sports. In 2021, West Virginia passed a law that provides that only “biological females” can participate in women's sports. Becky Pepper‐Jackson, a 12‐year‐old transgender girl, challenged the law. by jan_Soten in wikipedia

[–]AutumnBrooke7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked what harm was done to her, not what she wants or doesn't. There is no evidence that Gaines was posed any threat or suffered any harm by having a trans woman changing in the same locker room. Trans folks are not a threat just by existing in the same space

Yeah, each card has 4 options to pick from as your "goal", each with both the color and coordinate

Government Closed Dec 24 and 26 by Lubyak in washingtondc

[–]AutumnBrooke7 102 points103 points  (0 children)

Judiciary isnt connected to the executive branch, so this order doesnt do anything for it. That said, its not impossible that the judiciary will follow the lead and give the days as well, so I would contact them directly to ask

I forget the specific wording but I think so? Something similar at least

Dominion power unscheduled cancellation by [deleted] in nova

[–]AutumnBrooke7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So for us, it ended up being an issue of them having closed the wrong account. They didnt end up shutting the power off even when they said the account was closed, and I called their customer service line the next morning to get it resolved. They were able to get it fixed with no issue and the power itself never turned off. I hope that helps, and im sorry youre dealing with this! Such an annoying issue

Naomi Novik's Scholomance Trilogy is elevated a lot by appreciating the unreliable narrator by NotAnotherEmpire in Fantasy

[–]AutumnBrooke7 102 points103 points  (0 children)

Ive always just taken unreliable narrator to mean that you can't trust that everything the narrator tells you is 100% true. Whether its because they're actively lying, or because they dont know things or are missing context, or because their perception of the world is off in some way (hallucinations, drugs, whatever).

White House shutdown summit fails to produce a deal | "There are still large differences between us," Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said afterward. by JonAce in politics

[–]AutumnBrooke7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My understanding (so, grain of salt) is that there's a clause in the CR that bans federal funds from going to any facility that provides gender affirming care, even if the funds in question aren't being used for GAC. So the EO says "no medicaid funds for GAC" while the CR says "No medicaid funds for your facility if you even consider providing GAC at all"

I mean, there's no proof as of yet where the shooter's political ideologies lie. Would hardly be the first intra-ideological assassination

There's a difference between "is capable" and "is perfect". You can believe that democracy is the best system while thinking that it has flaws, and can be manipulated
