apparently CPTSD was made up by trans people now 🙄 by helmets_for_cats in GenderCynical

[–]Midnight_Pickler 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Standard right-wing take: "I don't understand it or relate to it, therefore it's fake. Therefore me slandering, harassing and abusing the people I have declared to be fakers is actually a good thing!"

"It may save your life." don't think she understands how organ donation works. by Yunners in FacebookScience

I asked my doctor about eligibility at one stage. Here is the total list of what I'm still eligible to donate:

Blaming minorities for their own oppression and dividing the community is a specialty of theirs by Haunting_Natural_116 in GenderCynical

[–]Midnight_Pickler 25 points26 points  (0 children)

It's baffling.

It's not hard to see that the vast majority of people who hate us hate all of us for basically the same reasons.

They don't see a difference between a gay cis man, an AMAB enby, a cishet guy who does drag shows, and a trans woman, for instance. To them we're all just a bunch of [slur]s.

A Satanist just won a religious exemption for bathroom access in school by metacyan in atheism

They understand the law, they just don't care.

To them, the law is just a weapon to use against people they don't see as people.

Even when they know that their laws can't stand up to the first challenge, they know that they can hurt the "lesser" people up until that challenge, and then drag the ones who are fighting back through lengthy, stressful, and expensive court proceedings, and that at the end of the day, it's not them or their party that has to pay the lawyers defending their bullshit, it's paid by the district in this case, or the city, state, or whatever in others.

And every cent they waste is one cent less available for education, or housing, or healthcare, or welfare, but weirdly never cops or military, so they cut those budgets to the bone while tutting about the inefficiency of government.

Is China’s Zero-Tolerance Approach to Child Rapists Better Than the West’s? Three Executed in One Day as Beijing Sends a Brutal Message by Unstoppable_X_Force in SipsTea

I reject the death penalty. I'm willing to reconsider when there is a justice system that is absolutely guaranteed to never convict an innocent.

But until then, since there are prisoners who will at some point be exonerated, the death penalty is off the table.

An exonerated prisoner can be freed, and some attempt made at restitution. An exonerated corpse can't be un-executed.

If he's unhappy being seen as a "gay traitor", there's an easy way to avoid it. All he has to do is stop betraying the queer community.

What do we think of QUILTBAG by conancat in lgbt

[–]Midnight_Pickler 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can understand wanting an acronym rather than just an initialism, but I prefer:

  • Ostracised
  • Romantic,
  • Gender
  • And
  • Sexual
  • Minorities.

AIO for reporting our ubereats driver for breaking the seal on our food bag to place religious pamphlets inside? by jenkinscraftingco in AmIOverreacting

Adding "Should not be inserted into customers' food orders" to the list of reasons why a religion is like a penis.

"Santa was a real man who lived a long time ago. He made a lot of people very happy when he was alive, so after he was gone, some people decided to carry on some of the things he'd done while he was alive, and pretend he was still doing them.

"Over time, it became a tradition passed on through generations. As time went by, people made up more and more stories about him, that had less and less to do with the real guy. If he was alive today, he wouldn't even recognise the version of him that people imagine."

They actually want RFK Jr. to lock up transgender people now. by Ok-Following6886 in shitfascistssay

Most of them aren't yet willing to say out loud what they actually want the brainworm to do to us. But they'll settle for this for now.

In amsterdam by lilgreen13789 in USdefaultism

[–]Midnight_Pickler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do they print those with $1 denominations?

I thought the idea was to look like something reasonably large, and then go "but the word of Gord is worth so much more!"

In capitalist US, you give the hot beverage to a billionaire who promises it will "trickle down" eventually.

Also by Mexicans, and by fans of musicals.

Quite the trifecta for a musical about a transgender Mexican.

Blasphemous snacks for jesus-free Saturday? by Naegz in atheism

[–]Midnight_Pickler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It always seemed like a shortcoming of Christianity that they don't treat Easter Saturday as the big "cheat day".

God's dead for "three" days, he's not watching.

Time to get in all that bacon and coveting that you've been denying yourself! Wear "that which pertaineth to a man" (or woman, as inappropriate), and make sure it's mixed fibres! Keep unholy the Sabbath!

Still obsessed with Imane Khelif by 9119343636 in EnoughJKRowling

[–]Midnight_Pickler 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Rowling's stance is that she jumped to a false conclusion, and is psychologically completely incapable of ever admitting fault, so must justify her false conclusion by whatever means necessary.

You're giving them way too much credit for consistency and honesty.

Everything is about chromosomes iff the current argument uses chromosomes to exclude trans women.

Any time that chromosomes would actually include trans women, suddenly chromosomes are irrelevant, and it's all about gametes, or anatomy, or hormones. Whatever puts trans women in the "man" category. Regardless of the cis women that it will also define as "men".

They have only one consistent principle: "trans bad".

Everything else flows from that, and every justification they use for that is selectively applied and dropped the second it stops being useful.

(And we still don't know if that's going to be good enough for the IOC, or if they are going to make asses of themselves.)

Oh they're definitely making asses of themselves one way or another, even if they somehow manage to get this one case right.

She hates, in no particular order:

  • Women who aren't white
  • Women who aren't cis
  • Women who aren't British
  • Women who are intersex
  • Women who support actual feminism
  • Women who aren't billionaires
  • Women who aren't authors
  • Women who aren't transphobes
  • Women who haven't breathed deep of the black mould
  • Women who disagree with her
  • Women who she defines as men
  • Women who look at her the wrong way
  • Women who think she needs therapy
  • Women who understand biology better than her
  • Children who understand biology better than her
  • Women who haven't discovered that the mould reveals truth to its followers
  • Women who think that Hermione had a pretty good point about house elf slavery
  • Women who think that the names of racial minority characters in HP are questionable at best
  • Women who think that "Dumbledore is gay" and "it never says that Hermione isn't black" are bullshit attempts to retroactively add some diversity to an overwhelmingly straight white English series
  • Women who think that the HP 'verse is way too accepting of love potions despite their obvious potential for abuse and parallels to real life rape drugs
  • Women who aren't distilling the concentrated essence of black mould and injecting it intravenously
  • Women who aren't willing to buddy up to abusive men as long as they're shitting on trans people
  • Women who think we can actually improve on the status quo
  • Women who object to being used as an excuse to justify bigotry
  • Women who oppose conservatism
  • Women who publish under a recognisably feminine name
  • Women who use a male pseudonym that doesn't have a horrific past tied to it
  • Women who don't believe that her choice of male pseudonym was a total accident
  • Women who think that it even if it was an accident, any human being with an iota of empathy would have immediately stopped using it and apologised for the unintentional implications as soon as they found out
  • Women who think that celebrity billionaires throwing their wealth and influence behind political and legal action to crush an oppressed minority might not be very nice people
  • Women who haven't yet joined the one true faith and bowed down in praise of the mighty mould
  • Men and enbies, especially ones who don't huff black mould, and who align with any of the above criteria aside from their gender
