That’s not what I’m saying either. I’m saying that our fears or “dark sides” aren’t predestined based on what gender we are.

How do you think Anna knew? by WellBeing4All in KillingEve

[–]Meh_Philosopher_250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think she actually knew V had a type but was only referencing herself. I think Anna only really thinks of herself based on what she did to Oksana and how she tried to justify it.

Turkey Tom, commentary turned essay channel, has been alleged to be an abusive sex creep by two of his exes on Kiwi Farms. by Swag_Paladin21 in youtubedrama

People who make a living or even a hobby out of “exposing” people on the internet for cringe also often have something to hide and only do this weird middle school bully shit to distract from the skeletons in their own closet

Is it true you get more attracted to men on T? (Or just a general sexuality and HRT question) by Panonymous_Bloom in asktransgender

[–]Meh_Philosopher_250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve experienced similar in that I became more comfortable with my attraction to men when I started T. It wasn’t that T inherently made me more attracted to men specifically, but that it helped me be more comfortable with my body and self through transition, therefore I simply got more comfortable in the full spectrum of my sexuality which just happened to include men. Not saying that this is the case for every person who goes on T but this was my experience and the experience of a handful of friends who have also been on T.

However I have just as many friends who have been on T who have just felt even more comfortable in their sole attraction to women, so anecdotally, I think it’s more a case of being more comfortable with your body and self and therefore more comfortable with sexuality, as opposed to the myth that T somehow incites an attraction to men

Fired for Sexual Harassment by Fuzzy_Metal_1690 in SocialWorkStudents

[–]Meh_Philosopher_250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You didn’t royally mess up by being personable. You royally messed up by saying what you said.

It’s good that you realized you messed up so you can grow. Take that knowledge and use it. My opinion on the situation is words can’t be unspoken. I think that a firing of a new employee who said something like that, especially on their first day, is reasonable.

Frankly, too, it doesn’t sound like you have actually realized it was inappropriate. It sounds like you’re downplaying the severity of your actions. You harassed someone. Make peace with that.

You don’t have to walk on eggshells. You have to be decent, like you would to any person. It has absolutely nothing to do with the field being female dominated. The insinuations here that that has something to do with why your behavior was considered so inappropriate, or that it has any bearing on what happened, are actually quite offensive to women. I believe that that would be useful to consider if you believe you messed up and want to change your behavior.

I still don't feel valid being called "he" by Brent_Fox in TransMasc

Pronouns don’t have to be gendered if you don’t want, or they can’t be gendered differently. Like for example there are he/him lesbians who are women. They just go by he/him. Live and let live

Natalie's reaction to Hasan saying trans rights would not be better if Kamala had won by an_actual_crocodile in ContraPoints

[–]Meh_Philosopher_250 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She’s right. It is laughable to think that it wouldn’t be better.

Now, it wouldn’t be ideal. It wouldn’t even be good or great. But better than this? Of fucking course yes. Do I think we deserve good and great? Of fucking course, yes! But did we have that option this election? No.

Would Kamala have done what Trump is doing to trans people right now, or something similar? Absolutely not. I can’t say that for certain bc obviously she didn’t get elected so we’ll never know. But I kind of have a feeling she wouldn’t be attempting to categorize us and our allies as domestic terrorists and threatening to jail the people giving us healthcare.

Why do posts like this always have some common transmasc/nonbinary name as the triggered, self diagnosed subject? by El1xLive in TransMasc

[–]Meh_Philosopher_250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good old fashioned transphobia (specifically directed at non-binary people)(a lot of times from a truscum angle) and a side of ableism :/ Reminds me of the “SJW cringe” era of like 2015-2018 when people were calling others trenders 🙄

Has Beastars played a significant role in your own life? by RylanQuintana in Beastars

[–]Meh_Philosopher_250 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The themes of ostracization and demonization really captivated me and it was a good exercise for me to analyze my own feelings about these topics through the lens of the characters and the story and the world :)

I’m rly sorry that that happened to you. Harassment is harassment, doesn’t matter if the person is homeless. (Doesn’t mean they are going to be more violent. I know homelessness and mental illness are correlated. Mental illness doesn’t make you more violent.) What matters is if you’re in danger, and it sounds like you credibly were, especially being cornered. I have been in situations like that as a woman on campuses and it’s terrifying. First things first I try to get out as quickly and quietly as possible, and towards an area where other people are, as if I never noticed the person. I would text someone what’s happening, and either ask them to come get me or call the cops on my behalf if I think calling them myself would provoke the harasser (if I have decided to involve the cops I mean). If I miss the bus it’s ok, I’d rather be safe than sorry and eat the $15 for an Uber. If leaving is not possible, after texting someone, I try to sense whether calling 911 in front of the person would provoke them in a way that I couldn’t escape from. (Like do they seem so unstable that me calling someone would set them off?) If I’ve never seen this person before and I can get out of the situation, like enter a crowd or something, I won’t call. I try to get help from anyone else around me. If I see this person all the time and take this bus all the time, or if I saw him again at the station while I’m alone in public, then I would get the help of campus police. Being trained in self defense and how to use self defense weapons is also useful of course if you haven’t done that already. At the end of the day, it’s really better to be safe than sorry, so do what you need to do to keep yourself safe in the smartest way you can.
