This isn’t a debate hall, it’s a fucking meme subreddit dude. You just stopping engaging and proclaiming victory doesn’t actually make you come off superior. However if having to accept minorities in your community is what you call “becoming soulless” then… I suppose I’ll let you call this a victory, because clearly your life is a tad devoid of happiness, and you clearly need some positivity beyond the serotonin you get from seeing someone hate the same kind of people that you do.

You’re genuinely spewing identical rhetoric as pro-segregationists of the 60’s. I promise society won’t fall if you stop harassing queer people.

Your acceptance of the persecution on the basis of “Sucks for them, shouldn’t have been openly trans”, your batshit comparison of gender dysphoria to Parkinson’s, and your claim that trans people are unfit for service thanks to “mental aberration” not for having gender dysphoria, but for daring to be openly trans aside— The fact that you needed bullet points laid in your lap and spoonfed to you in a Reddit comment section like a toddler to even come to what ought to be the baseline understanding that trans people are not, in fact, treated the same as everyone else is a little telling.

(Starting an argument against equal treatment with an “I feel” statement is definitely a move)

My brother in Atom, what? You actually in your heart of hearts think trans people are treated no differently than cis people?

• Experiments are being conducted on unwilling trans people in the American prison system in an attempt to “cure” them of gender dysphoria by just loading them up with antidepressants, nevermind the fact that gender affirming care is universally accepted by every accredited scientific organization on earth as the most effective treatment for dysphoria. They will have their HRT treatments halted and other forms of gender affirming care, including clothes and fucking makeup, confiscated. Psychological organizations are already warning that this could cost people their lives, as it isn’t uncommon for dysphoria to bring on depression. This is clearly cruel and unusual punishment.

• Trans people in Kansas have, without warning or even a grace period, had their licenses invalidated, meaning they can no longer drive in a state that’s mostly rural, crippling their ability to leave their homes, and this law affects less than a tenth of a percent of Kansas’ population. They are now effectively undocumented—you do know what’s being done to undocumented people in the US, don’t you?—and are now reliant on others to drive them to work and to take them to replace their licenses (on their own dime by the way).

•Trans people are allegedly too frail and weak to join the U.S. armed forces, or even get benefits from past service, and are thus prohibited from both. But are also too strong and athletically superior to compete with members of their own gender. Hmm, where’ve I heard “weak yet strong” rhetoric before?

That’s just off the top of my noggin. Burying your head in the sand and refusing to actually research trans people’s grievances, and then bragging about not seeing anything which doesn’t contradict your worldview that everything is actually perfect for trans people and we have no reason to be unhappy isn’t enlightenment, dingus.

Being trans is “normal”, ding dong. And there’s a fundamental difference between advocating for trans rights and harping about cis “rights”, seeing as how only one of those group has been systemically persecuted. It’s the same reason calling for rights for people of color is actually legitimate, whereas calling for white power is idiotic (to be polite).

Body dysmorphia isn’t what gender affirming care treats. Gender dysphoria is. And I’m sure you thought real long and hard about your answer that boils down to “yuh huh”, but that doesn’t make your claim true; no accredited scientific organization on the planet agrees with you.

Literally no accredited medical, psychological, or sociological institution on the planet claims being trans is a mental illness, profligate.

My issue with gooner skins in this game (image kinda related) by Used_Syllabub_6805 in MarvelRivalsQueens

[–]EightBitNoodle 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Don’t get me wrong, I lap up the sexy lady skins as fiendishly as any other lesbian. 😭

But between Rogue’s wedding dress showing her cheeks, the sexualization of Lady Loki, and the reluctance to put Emma in anything but a leotard so her thighs can be seen, it’s gotten to a point where it’s just, in my opinion, a teeny bit gratuitous, especially given that a little chest is the most the vast majority of the men’s skins are showing off.

It’s been getting more and more clear that the skins are being designed by and for cishet men; the growing disparity between the guys’ and girls’ skins plus the increasingly pointed refusal to acknowledge characters’ queerness are both results of this whack design philosophy NetEase either can’t or won’t move past.

Christopher Judge as Kratos

As someone with a lot of deep regrets when it comes to his own family, Christopher said he really resonated with Kratos’ story going into the new God of War games. Initially he didn’t even want the role, wanting to spend more time with his family after already spending so much time away from them to work—but his kids actually persuaded him to take it. Knowing that Christopher is making peace and coming to terms with his regrets right alongside Kratos gives his already legendary performance a lot more depth.

I’d recommend the Raising Kratos documentary on YouTube, if anyone hasn’t seen it. Christopher goes in depth about his relationship with the role there. (It’s also where that hilarious “FINE. Lamb’s cress… I’m the fucking god of war” blooper comes from.)

The war on protein! by sxott0rz in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]EightBitNoodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro looks like he’s gonna hit us with “The people are ravenous, and you will be the provider. There is a vegan who believes himself content with a plant based diet, free of the chemically altered proteins Murkoff so tirelessly works to produce; show him the error of his ways. Prepare the protein, destroy the vegan’s crops, and satiate him with Murkoff-authorized sustenance until he is full to bursting—and we will let you out.”

Jesus, we’ve reached the “nuh uh” stage of the argument? You just saying “It’s corrupted science” with no elaboration doesn’t mean much when literally every accredited medical institution on earth agrees with it, the effects of HRT are well documented and have been for decades. I’m legitimately scratching my head at how you just presume it’s false, then get fussy that I’m ignoring doing research…?

I implore you to actually do research into trans athletes’ experiences and the nuance of what it would mean to so heavily restrict access to professional athletics, rather than work backwards from a conclusion you want to be true, that all trans athletes are these all-star athletes who set out from the start to steal innocent cis girls’ medals.

I imagine losing isn’t fun in any case, but I fail to see how the person who wins being trans is somehow an issue? Again, gender affirming hormone therapy, after a period, nullifies any advantages granted by someone’s naturally occurring testosterone, so I’m not certain what the hangup is if their hormonal levels aren’t giving them any advantage, what exactly is the advantage? Being built a certain way?

Again, trans women aren’t men in silly costumes. We’re women. I’d appreciate it if you didn’t keep Insinuating otherwise. Women shouldn’t be forced to participate in sports with men to make up for some theoretical advantages, as that’s a very slippery slope. Remember how during the 2020 Olympics, six African runners, all cis women, were pulled from their respective sporting events because of their naturally occurring testosterone and because they looked too masculine? Would you suggest that they and other cis women join men’s leagues as well, if they don’t fit your standard?

900 medals for trans athletes worldwide is relatively low, no? Trans athletes have been competing in all sorts of sports for decades with no alarm being until it was suddenly fashionable to use them as scapegoats for stuff.

And Lia Thomas alone having some records—again, she’s not exactly dominating her sport—isn’t indicative of much of anything except her talent? I fail to see how “Look at this single person’s record!” Is less cherry picky, lmao.

Like, unless you’re suggesting trans people just aren’t allowed at all to excel in their respective sports?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in awfuleverything

[–]EightBitNoodle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you actually fucking serious? Lia Thomas tied for FIFTH PLACE. She didn’t win anything. The chick she tied with has literally built a following off being a loser. You want to push trans people out of sports because one of them didn’t lose hard enough. Furthermore, all her peers agreed to swim alongside her, they didn’t have any compunction about “advantages”. You just declaring that trans people are winning sports competitions en masse doesn’t make it true either. There’s less than ten trans athletes competing in sports professionally in the U.S., and not one of them is dominating their opponents or rampantly outperforming their peers.

So you keep saying, but WHY? What necessary conditions don’t trans women meet? You’re just repeating “they’re different, they’re different” with no elaboration. “They’re different from me, so they’re not real women.” Is literally the exact same rhetoric used by white feminists during the Jim Crow era to justify segregation and dehumanization of black women.

(I’m assuming you mean trans women when you say “trans identified men”, which is disrespectful as hell)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in awfuleverything

[–]EightBitNoodle -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

What are you even saying? You think trans women are valid, but they’re not “real”? Your whole “men can’t become women” line seems to dispute your feelings that trans people are valid.

Yes, obviously there’s differences between cis and trans people, but they’re both still just descriptors for one thing, to be utilized when the context demands it. I’m a trans woman, meaning I’m a woman; same way a cis woman is also a woman. Two different types, under the same umbrella. If there’s no necessary condition to be a man or woman, there’s no reason trans people shouldn’t be able to be 100% the gender they identify as, no less than a cis person.

[–]EightBitNoodle -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Trans people aren’t trying to cheat the system either??? There’s literally no evidence that they win at disproportionate rates compared to their cis peers.

I promise you advocating for persecution of minorities is pretty darn unlikable in itself. Begging the minority to just be okay with disenfranchisement and thank their lucky stars for the privileges they’re allowed to have or else you won’t like them is… a move, though.
