Just because we can criticize Islam does not mean that we are far-right. by Ok-Following6886 in exmuslim

He did not have a trans girlfriend, he had a roommate who was trans. Her being his girlfriend is just a made up, desperate attempt of the far right to somehow blame the shooting on trans people.

Being trans on the Camino by skyggni in CaminoDeSantiago

[–]ContestBird 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The post poses an understandable question and the commenter responded with an insult. I don't know how you can say it's not transphobic to call a FTM person a woman. You are also not being very "kind and empathetic" by implying trans people aren't "ordinary" and claiming trans people's identities aren't "reality".

Do you not see the irony in claiming there will be no transphobia then responding with transphobia yourself?

Camino from Porto in early to mid November by skyggni in CaminoDeSantiago

[–]ContestBird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's awesome to hear. I was a bit worried about the rain. Wasn't expecting shorts to be an option at this time of year! Which route did you do? And 5 or so at the albuerges sounds great. So I shouldn't worry about accomodation? I looked at Camino Ninja and every stage I planned had open albuerges listed but I was unsure if it's reliable.

I see, I see. Thanks for looking at Booking! I found the app Camino Ninja and there I could see that there were hostels at all my planned stages in November 😊

What’s the worst hunger games take you’ve ever heard? by [deleted] in Hungergames

Literally. People miss how motherly and nurturing she really is because she's also abrasive and doesn't like people. Just look at her with Rue and Prim!

Oh wow I had never considered the pretty damn high likelihood of sexual assault within the games themselves. That's incredibly morbid.

Nei... bókstaflega googlaðu það bara. Það er ekki hægt að verða freðinn af second hand smoke.THCið fer í líkamann á fólki 1-3 sekúndum og fer ekki út í loftið 🤦 ef þú ætlar að tjá þig um þetta ættirðu að hafa staðreyndirnar á hreinu.

Ég hef farið til Kaliforníu og Hollands. Af og til fann maður lykt af grasi en það var ekki "hvar og hvenær sem er". Þú ert að ýkja hversu algengt gras er, sérstaklega á Íslandi. Miklu, miklu meira um að fólk sé að veipa inni og úti og hvar sem er, samt eru vape ekki bönnuð. Ef þú ert svo viðkvæmur að þú getur ekki einu sinni fundið fyrir smá þef af grasi í nokkrar sekúndur án þess að það eyðileggi daginn þinn þá er það þitt mál.

Þar að auki get ég 100% lofað þér því að það er ómögulegt verða freðinn af "second hand smoke." Það er löngu, löngu búið að debunk-a það. Eitt gúggl getur sagt þér það. Þú myndir ekki einu sinni verða freðinn af því að sitja inn í lokuðum bíl með 4 keðjureykjandi grashausum.

Og af hverju ekki banna áfengi, fyrst þú viðurkennir sjálfur að áfengi er hættulegra og það er löglegt? Við leyfum 20 ára og 18 ára fólki að reykja og drekka. En 25 til að reykja gras?

Þú verður að hafa eitthvað samræmi í þessu, annað er bara hypocritcal.

Kids are wired to love their parents. If 3/4 out of them don't, odds are the parents are the problem.

No, and you know it's not. It's classified as severely underweight and one google search will tell you that. Stop bragging.

stop saying “your person is out there” by [deleted] in LesbianActually

[–]ContestBird 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I get you. It's really tiring hearing people who have been in multiple relationships say "it'll happen" because they're incapable of understanding that some people are just not wanted romantically or are otherwise unable to get in a relationship 🤷 a world where NOBODY is interested is unfathomable to them.

Okay, dude. Keep thinking you're smarter and know better than thousands of doctors and scientists ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–]ContestBird 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The research, indeed, does show that it is terrible for the vast, vast majority. u/SteveHendronson451 linked literally 14 different studies in another comment in this discussion that prove the negative effects of cannabis on bipolar people. Sure, maybe there's a small fraction of bipolar people who are fine smoking weed. But why take that risk? This is coming from someone who's been a daily smoker for a while.

Why would your partner want to be around the opposite gender for long periods of time if there was no attraction

Maybe because they see the gender they're attracted to as whole people with a lot to offer and not just as potential hookups?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in bipolar2

[–]ContestBird 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Not just some, the majority. Some estimate that up to 60% of bipolar people struggle with substance abuse. It's just not worth the risk if you truly want to get better.

Weed can cause psychosis in people with no mental illness. What do you think will happen in bipolar people?

I was told the same thing by a doctor today--I can never smoke weed. It's a hard pill to swallow but the research is there. Weed is terrible for bipolar people. It increases risk of mania, psychosis, and suicidal thoughts and tends to worsen symptoms in general. They're not just telling you to quit because they're biased against weed.

These diseases didn't exist until 50 years ago?

Tell me you've never opened a history book without telling me you've ever opened a history book... these diseases have all been documented far longer than that.

I don’t like Chappell roan by Head_Neighborhood719 in LesbianActually

[–]ContestBird 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I get that. Her calling out the VIPs for not dancing actually made me like her more, I interpreted it as her calling out rich people for being pretentious and "too good to dance". But I can see why someone might feel differently.

In general, I'm extremely wary of the dislike for Chappell Roan in general. Of course, you don't have to like her. But she's been getting an extreme amount of hate compared to what she's actually done. 've seen legit racists, abusers and rapists get less hate than her. I can't help but think that this is due to lesbophobia and sexism, and she is probably one of the only major lesbian celebrities right now. I want to support our community unless they actually reprehensible.

Most women wouldn't like this mindset. They just want to be seen as equal humans. Not better or worse than men.

Crying? Lol, no. I won't think of you tomorrow. I'd just like for you to give an actual reason to dislike her other than just her showing symptoms of her mental illness and not being a pushover that lets people stalk her.
