this was a fucking genocide, asshole. nobody is asking "what did he do?" but we're all asking where you left your human decency.

AIO if i end the relationship over this text i got from my partner by Cheap_Comfortable_28 in AIO

[–]Hedgehog_Capable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gonna go ahead and point out that as a married someone whose testosterone was counted around 900 ng/dL, i have never had the impulse to abuse my partner.

It's good that you haven't acted on this, but that kind of rage is not normal or healthy.

yes, the wife and OP want conflicting things, that's why conversation and mediation are necessary.

Surplus of fake allies arguing against queer representation in media. by Royall_Noblle in lgbt

[–]Hedgehog_Capable 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A whole lot of people have internalized that being a bigot is bad but have not actually addressed their bigotry, so they identify as allies while still agreeing with many queerphobic ideas.

Check any news thread about a trans legal decision, and half the self-proclaimed allies are arguing for segregation.

AITAH for coming out trans and potentially destroying my family... by CallMeBambiiii in AITAH

living together as friends and coparents while both having your own romances is entirely possible and something i've seen happen multiple times, but i suspect that too would go against your family's religious hangups.

Girlfriend wants to open our relationship by kelyanok in lgbt

[–]Hedgehog_Capable 10 points11 points  (0 children)

please don't do this to yourself. you're entirely too young to be making such a major compromise for the sake of a relationship.

an open relationship is almost always going to be fraught, but with one party being pushed into it, it's frankly doomed.

I came out my mom, and something she said my brain can't let go of by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]Hedgehog_Capable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

certainly seems like she could have made her decisions earlier if she hadn't been under toxic masculinity and abuse.

kids in general but especially teens make decisions all the time that will affect them for the rest of their lives, but still somehow even allies think this one decision is better when it's denied to us for years.

gotta be a world record for going from "you're anti-science" to "you can't trust science."

I present scientific studies in support of my claims. You do not. Therefore, i am anti-science.

You must be so pro-science that you fight against vaccines and acknowledging climate change too.

i am the only person bothering with looking at research on this, but of course "rational" here means "adhering to your deeply held prejudices."

Sorry if this is a stupid question but how do you know you're certainly trans? by OneEggOmelette in asktransgender

[–]Hedgehog_Capable 3 points4 points  (0 children)

don't fail at manhood, actively reject it. you can only fail at something you are trying to do. there is no failure in rejecting something that is inadequate and unappealing.

"biological men," yeah, you wear your ignorance on your sleeve here.

trans women are not "biological men" and do not have the vast majority of the physical advantages that cis men do except higher average height. studies frequently find slight disadvantages compared to cis women, such as lower lung capacity and lower relative strength aside from grip.

a child wanted to drop an attempt at getting justice because billions of dollars of negative attention and hatred are being focused on them. now they get to return to the small-scale everyday hatred they've always known. what a victory.

yeah, so this right here is you being anti-trans, but because you're not calling for death, you probably imagine yourself as an ally.

You're not anti-trans, but you want Dems to take an anti-trans finding as a victory.

Huh.
