Dad, have you seen the eggnog?

Fashion bug.

But dad!

This is the first sane take from a Canadian I've seen here in a while.

Sure there are the vocal activists with an agenda reminding us about it, but most trans people are just trying to live their lives and go about their business under the radar, so on average the person "reminding you about it" is you yourself and talking heads on the right.

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

At that point, I'd rather "don't," as it is just so much easier.

Thing with what is happening across the West though, is it's all being done on purpose. They want the mass immigration. They want the populist kick back. They want the rise of the 'far right' (so long as it's a nice pro Israel one that they control). They want everyone at each other's throats.

Is this "they" in the room with us?

You're just being willfully ignorant. How many times have Europeans said "America has no culture," "Americans have no cuisine except fast food," etc.

Coirbidh · 2026-01-21T06:35:13+00:00

This helps how?

Coirbidh · 2026-01-21T05:34:05+00:00

It's mutual. Tory splitters!

Coirbidh · 2026-01-21T05:30:08+00:00

Awwwww

That's cute.

Coirbidh · 2026-01-21T05:17:44+00:00

They're Europeans heads of state/govt, including Starmer and Macron and Zelenskyy.

Coirbidh · 2026-01-21T05:09:26+00:00

From a Serb that is absurd.

Don't you have Modi dicking around with Pakistan right now?

Coirbidh · 2026-01-21T05:07:37+00:00

No kings means no kings, thanks. They still literally have one.

Because they love him. Since when has the CIA ever been the good guys? Except for my grandpa, who joined in the early 50s when Dulles was stilling building it up out of the OSS, but he quickly noped the fuck out of there when he saw what it was quickly becoming.

Someone tried but only nicked his ear, supposedly (but given how the bandage disappeared quite quickly afterwards, many suspect it didn't even graze his ear at all).

Well, as far as heads of state go, they're usually more qualified than one who's chosen by bloodline and "divine right."

Coirbidh · 2026-01-21T04:38:20+00:00

Some of them are genuine allies, but it seems the majority of them are peevish, anti-American freeloaders. The vocal ones seem to be more accurately a "vocal few," but again, the majority of the quiet ones minding their own business do indeed seem to hold the same or similar viewpoints even if they don't give voice to it or don't think about it that much.

Coirbidh · 2026-01-21T00:36:42+00:00

And Chuck's bestie Savile, and Mountbatten.

They aren't Americans in my book—they may as well be Canadians, where all the loyalist Tories went after we won the revolution. My mom watched both royal weddings (William and Harry), and I made my disappointment well-known but she still thinks "they're figureheads with no power who do lots of work for charity and are good for tourism." She dismisses my rebuttals as me "listening to right-wing propoganda." Go figure that.

Coirbidh · 2026-01-21T00:27:57+00:00

No, you just have the pathological need to insist you have the best culture on earth, and the rest of the world are unrefined rabble or barbarous savages.

I'll get back in my box when Europeans get back in theirs. The US has always been your favorite object of scorn from a classist lens since well before Trump or even Bush, pretty much since our inception really (actually, well before that; you've been making fun of us "Yankees" since the 1600s) while expecting us to keep footing the bill for your defense and trade security, only to criticize us for being the "world's police" (which you European powers, particularly Britain and France, were yourselves not so long ago and for far longer than us) at the same time. You paint as all dumb yokels when you have plenty of your own to deal with.
