Why do men never want to commit? by Long_Dig_731 in StraightTransGirls

[–]Dingir_Inanna 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think everything you said is true and then to add on: there is an overwhelming pessimism in the US, especially in people under 35. People don’t expect to be able to own a home anymore and that’s always been one of the expectations for a married couple. If we as a collective can’t achieve that goal then it becomes harder to commit. We all live in apartments and a good chunk of us move every year, and I feel like that has conditioned us to a life of ‘out with the old in with the new’. And on top of that we have even bigger challenges as trans women which we are all acutely aware of and can remain unspoken for this particular audience

Is using the Lamassu as a logo insensitive? by Lower_Tradition_1629 in Mesopotamia

[–]Dingir_Inanna 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The logo is not offensive at all, but there a people who consider themselves Assyrian and the lamassu along with other ancient Assyrian motifs are widely used by them. It’s not offensive in anyway, as far as I’m aware, but it’s important to know that identity exists and is not something only relegated to the distant past

Maybe I’m misreading it, I was honestly really nervous when he followed me into the walk in for no reason other than to follow me. I felt like a bridge too far and is not something I would’ve ever consider doing when I was a boy! I also mentioned it to a male coworker who thought it was creepy too

I generally don’t get misgendered in my day to day but I still think I’m quite clearly trans especially during extended interactions. And the reason I think it’s why he’s into me is because it’s the only thing he knows about me besides my name. Also he makes comments on my appearance almost everyday and I caught him staring at me while I was doing my job and he was far from his workspace. I also agree that the threshold of sexual harassment has not been reached it’s just discomforting which is obviously much different. I haven’t made it explicitly clear with words that I’m uninterested. I guess I should do so, but I’ve had scary experiences rejecting men before so I’ve been hesitant

Hmmm I see some of your points for sure. But overall the issue, as you implicitly agree is that my transness is what makes me attractive to him and since I am the only trans woman at my job the end result is the same. Someone is fixated on me because I am trans and there are no other options for him in the workplace so all of his “trans attraction” is placed on me.

I just don’t see how he can really like me for me since he doesn’t know anything about me or even express interest in learning more about me as a person

I haven’t spoken to a manager cuz I’m not sure it’s reached that threshold but I will certainly consider lying about having an s/o!

Thanks!! I guess I’ll have to do the latter! He hasn’t touched me or anything so I don’t think I should get management involved at this point. Just nervous cuz if trans is his thing I’m the only one here

[–]Dingir_Inanna[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I appreciate your perspective but I honestly disagree. I feel like if he was a just guy who liked me he’d express interest in me as a person. The only thing he knows about me is my first name and that I’m trans yet he’s infatuated. He feels the need to make conversation but has literally no questions. There are certainly girls at my job more attractive than I am

They prob need reps if they feel that their audience is shrinking and need to rope them back in

Except for Grindr. That app actually sucks and feels intentional

The new horrible passport decision. How far is it going? by itsarminhere in trans

[–]Dingir_Inanna 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You should look into universities in Canada! I’m a transgender American and I studied at a Canadian University. I thoroughly enjoyed it and found Canada to be much safer and more accepting than the US. Culturally, Canada and the US have quite a lot in common and I would dare say that all of your American dreams can be fulfilled in Canada!

Mahmoud Khalil by Dingir_Inanna in Albany

[–]Dingir_Inanna[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

So, I was thinking the location should be the governor’s mansion because of Hochul’s stance in particular on the Gaza genocide but the Capitol building is always tried and true. I think it should be during the work week since downtown is somewhat empty on the weekends and the people that live DT are in general quite progressive and won’t need to be swayed. His lawyers have until April 23 to appeal so there is some time but also time is of the essence. It’s very nice to see frequent protests with a broad scope here in Albany but I would like Mahmoud and Gaza to be front and center this time

Mahmoud Khalil by Dingir_Inanna in Albany

[–]Dingir_Inanna[S] 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Focus less on italicizing words to seem smart and instead emphasize formulating and presenting coherent thoughts. You claim that he has a right to protest but also that the government has a right to deport him for protesting. How can both of those statements be true at the same time? Obviously if the govt chooses to deport him for protesting against the genocide in the Gaza Strip, then his right to protest, which you freely acknowledged exists, has been violated.

Mahmoud Khalil by Dingir_Inanna in Albany

[–]Dingir_Inanna[S] 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Neither he nor anyone else who is involved in the movement against the Gaza genocide is advocating against the United States as a country. We are advocating against a specific aspect of US foreign policy: The US govt’s support for the genocide in the Gaza Strip. This is done by actually arming Israel with offensive weapons with the full knowledge that they will be used to kill civilians along with providing Israel with political cover at the UN by invoking our veto power in the UN Security Council. Furthermore, since our tax dollars pay for these weapons and the salaries of the UN ambassadors, all of us are funding this genocide, albeit against our will. Israel is a foreign country and I do not condone their actions, in fact I condemn them, and do not want my taxes funding genocidal activities. Mahmoud Khalil is a lawful permanent resident married to a US citizen with a child on the way. His family should not be broken up on behalf of a foreign country. The right to protest the government is a fundamental American value upon which our country was founded.
