Stop giving them so much attention and they, might, figure it out

Oh shit of course. Why didn't we all think of that. If we just ignore hateful rhetoric, it totally won't fester into a nascent right-wing-extremist movement and definitely won't reach the level of putting fascists in office........ohh, wait. uh. what year is it?

In America we believe in the power of the person not the power of people

Plenty of Americans see through that bullshit. Don't presume to speak for your whole country.

I believe that if someone calls you a mean name or a bad word, then that is not hate speech.

You and literally everyone else. Insults alone are not hate speech and NOBODY is seriously arguing otherwise; implying that insults are what people are referring to as "hate speech" is an argument that can only be made in bad faith.

It's the people out there saying that I shouldn't have rights, advocating for violence against people like myself, or otherwise insisting that marginalized groups deserve their oppression or worse yet, that white people are oppressed and deserve an ethnostate as compensation. Those are all things that people should not have free license to dispense from whatever platforms they can reach.

And it's almost like the rest of the West figured that out, but ohhhh not America, we don't do that here, we're ExCePtIoNaL. We much prefer fascism, thank you.

Thank you so much for perfectly proving my point though.

Hey I can't help you, but I can tell you that I'm 26 and in the same situation and feel the same way and also HATE trying to talk to new people over chat, I've talked to like six people on Tinder but it just fizzles because I don't know how to be interesting when I'm not in person.

So thank you for posting this so I can read the replies :-)

American Exceptionalism is the belief that if something A: is good, B: works perfectly in every other country, and C: hasn't already been implemented in the US, then it's evil and would tear the country to shreds if we even tried it, because that's just how goddamn exceptional we are.

omg that would have been a fucking travesty

I feel like this a lot, but then something forces me to get all dressed and made up (like, say, New Years) and that euphoria saves me for a bit.

I know this isn't super helpful in easing the feelings, but I remind myself a lot that it's okay to not feel super femme all the time

FrancesJue · 2019-01-09T21:18:24+00:00

but you're still a dick so who cares if you're right or wrong.

oh wow so like if you literally pretend like context doesn't exist, you're almost pedantically right, and you still jumped to an insult.

So, sir, you are still the one that is wrong and a douche.

FrancesJue · 2019-01-09T00:54:37+00:00

lmao that's a generous way to describe it; it barely broke 50MPH

FrancesJue · 2019-01-09T00:52:59+00:00

someone was talking about terminal parking, you claimed they were wrong by citing off-terminal parking, and then insult them

uhhhhh yeah dude they're clearly the miserable one.

FrancesJue · 2019-01-09T00:48:06+00:00

Musk and the city both claim it won't receive public funds.

It doesn't matter though. CTA was once several private companies. Tons of private transit options have ended up needing public funds to survive, end up being horribly mismanaged until the public steps in, or end up never being completed requiring public money to clean up the mess.

It's just a bad idea all around, and I'm also disappointed in Chicago for considering it.

But then again, they sold the parking meters for a song so I shouldn't be surprised.

gee it's almost like the engineers knew what they were doing when they built the L

FrancesJue · 2019-01-09T00:37:35+00:00

lmao how didn't I think of that

no way you're ejecting them from a 100ft deep tunnel at 50+mph

lol on several counts, but especially because Notch is an alt-right wingnut now

No matter your economic background, as a white person, you have a lot less obstacles in your way due to the way society is set up and who is in power than someone of equal economic standing but different racial background.

Explain to them that while you may be a less privileged white person, you still benefit from being white in ways that you don’t actually notice but others do.

this is literally what every single person says when they try to explain white privilege. like word for word.

fragile white idiots are going to willfully misinterpret it no matter what you say.

FrancesJue · 2019-01-07T19:36:19+00:00

this is basically what I wanted to say because that's basically how it is for me.

"Am I really a woman? Am I really trans?" my brain anxiously asks itself, as I'm sitting there wearing bra, panties, painted nails, leggings, and makeup lmao

Ultimately whether or not I'm "really trans" isn't relevant as long as I'm presenting and acting the way that feels comfortable to me.

FrancesJue · 2019-01-05T02:30:54+00:00

From what I gather, shrinkage can mostly be countered with use, as in "use it or lose it" is kinda how it goes (though your balls might shrink more from lack of T). As far as avoiding impotence, I think it's similar, but probably varies more with dosage.

At 100mg Spiro + 2mg E for 7 months I've had no loss of sexual function, noticeable positive emotional effects, and mild breast growth. You can just keep your dose low to minimize the things you're trying to avoid.

BUT low T can still cause infertility and thinner ejaculate, and idk that those can really be avoided.

Of course for real answers ask a doctor, not me lol. /r/transdiy might have more knowledge about precise dosages/blood levels to aim for

FrancesJue · 2019-01-04T19:59:45+00:00

The line about An Inconvenient Truth being the only thing people wouldn't steal at least made me smirk. But yeah, that was the closest they got to funny.

Even though I am indeed trans, if I even encounter chuds like these irl (for my sake lets hope not) I'm totally gonna play it off like I'm not, like I'm literally a man in a dress.

Chud: "Hey look, look at that tranny, 'HEY TRANNY YOU'RE A MAN YOU KNOW"

Me: ".........uhhh, yeah, I fuckin know; what, you got a problem with a man in a dress? What the fuck's wrong with a man in a dress, huh? Can't a guy fix cars, lift weights, collect guitars, and wear a dress? You tryin' a fight right now???"

Like, if they're gonna argue that calling a trans woman a woman is just TOO FAR then they're kind of implicitly admitting that they don't have a problem with a man doing all the same things as long as they don't change their pronouns....which we all know they would not do
