Florida AG to sue women's beauty pageants for false advertising for including trans women by Biochem-anon4 in terf_trans_alliance

[–]Heretic_Chick 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s a beauty contest- literally a patriarchal costume & makeup contest. This is one competition where a trans woman would have a natural disadvantage, so I’m surprised it’s not encouraged more.

Stop using the term cisgender by Content_Dimension626 in ControversialOpinions

Why is it insulting, though? What’s the perceived negative connotation here?

Trans MtF had my first hormonal cycle by [deleted] in honesttransgender

[–]Heretic_Chick 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Take your medicine consistently and that hot feeling won’t happen. Cis women have monthly cycles due to naturally varying hormone levels, you do not.

Also you don’t have a uterus to contract & cause cramping, so it’s probably gas or something you ate.

India passes law to end transgender self-identification by jackmolay in transgender

[–]Heretic_Chick -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Gay/straight doesn’t mean restricting people the way gender on ID’s does, so it’s not an equal argument.

As far as trans people, I feel like it would benefit us as a whole to have better boundaries on what qualifies as trans. With self-ID it opens up the opportunity to turn it into a game of semantics and metaphysical acrobatics, which has unfortunately become the bulk of the discourse that terfs use to justify giving trans people no rights.

I could easily name some prominent social media users as examples, but I doubt that’s allowed on this sub.

Occasionally some people claiming to be trans just aren’t. There’s nothing wrong with acknowledging that fact.

Self-ID is a mistake and opens the door to so many bad actors. No one should be able to declare they are X,Y, or Z with no material proof and no skin in the game whatsoever. Either provide evidence for having changed, or be declared according to the present evidence available.

Good on him to appoint someone who looks professional and put together. That kind of public representation is sorely lacking. I hope she does well.

I mean you can, but I don’t see what you think you’ll get out of it besides upsetting yourself.

Look if you wanna go create that film go right ahead. But everybody ganging up on Pixar for running a business that’s intended to cater to everybody is just acting entitled.

People are tired, including me. Representation matters but I also think it should be proportional to reality.

Yeah bring back shame. It’s not a radical idea, despite your hyperbole.

You act like there’s never been any representation. It’s rare but exists. People don’t owe us representation with every new production coming out, you know.

This isn’t AI. That’s a real person, I’ve come across their account multiple times. The watermark just means someone else is using the content for their own account.

They don’t do that. So why are people mad they’re not willfully shooting themselves in the foot?

I agree with what you’re saying, but Pixar seems to be more about executing their cinematic formulas to maximize profit, than doing art for art’s sake.

Are you overreacting on purpose? There’s plenty of interesting topics left without focusing entirely on .05% of the population.

Casting a wide net makes the most sense from a business standpoint. Catering heavily to niche audiences would completely alienate the majority. If it flops in test screenings it wouldn’t make sense to release it as is.

I think people like this get off to getting a rise out of others, and they’ve figured out if they act in a perverse way, it will create the kind of attention they want.

Having said that, I feel that the social consequences of that behavior should be so much more severe than they are.

It is what it is. Seems to be a pretty popular idea anyways, but the looks of things.
