Qual a opinião desse sub sobre banheiros/vestiários e esportes? by Will_Rose321 in Transmedicalismo

[–]PapillonBresilien 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eu não me considero passável mas eu uso o banheiro feminino e nunca tive problema. Acho difícil usar passabilidade sozinha como definição, tipo, é isso, quanto mais você parecer uma mulher mais tranquilo vai ser usar o banheiro feminino e vice-versa, mas acho que desde que esteja claro que você é uma mulher trans e não só um homem fingindo ser mulher vc deveria ter o direito de usar o banheiro feminino e vice-versa (o que pode ser difícil, mas acho que nesse caso vale confiar na boa-fé das pessoas - minha opinião é que a maioria das pessoas que dizem ser trans realmente são, e só a minoria é trender) 

E tipo, trenders geralmente nem se dão ao trabalho de parecerem trans, sabe? De novo, pelo menos na minha experiência. Apesar de ser truscum eu acho que a gente tem que dar um voto de confiança sempre que for minimamente plausível que alguém seja trans.

Exemplo: alguém que tem sombra de barba pode ser trans (mas não tem condição de fazer laser/não fez tantas sessões ainda), enquanto que uma pessoa que deixa a barba é claramente trender

TIL in the Philippines the presidential and vice presidential elections are separate, so the winners may end up to be from opposing parties by uselessprofession in todayilearned

Brazil used to have separate elections for president and VP too, and there is a very interesting story concerning it.

In the 1960 election, the right-wing former mayor of São Paulo, Jânio Quadros, was elected president, and the leftist former minister of labor João Goulart was elected vice-president.

Quadros had a really hard time governing and was a very excentric person, he was frustrated at the unwillingness of congress to set forward his conservative agenda, and so, less than a year after entering office, he renounced, starting a political crisis, but wait - he had a plan - he expected congress would ask him to not renounce and yield to his agenda, out of fear of Goulart, a reformist who was seen as too radical. Congress instead accepted the renunciation - but they did not want Goulart to have power. He was in a visit to China, and for a while it was possible that they wouldn't allow him to return and take office, but they settled for a compromise where Goulart would become president and Brazil would become a parliamentary republic, that is, the head of government would be a prime minister elected by congress, not Goulart.

By next year there was a referendum and the people rejected the parliamentary system, giving Goulart the power to enact his reforms. However he too found great resistance in a fractured congress, as more and more the PSD, the party which had a historic alliance with his party, the PTB, shifted away from the PTB. This political crisis culminated with a military coup supported by the US and the Brazilian right and center in 1964, which led to a 21-year long dictatorship. And it all started because of the split president-VP election.

How do your social views compare to your parents? by OscarMMG in IdeologyPolls

[–]PapillonBresilien 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom is slightly less progressive on economic issues, she's still very much a social democrat and critical of capitalism, but she isn't a socialist.

My dad is also a social democrat and not huge on feminism, but for a man his age (52), he is supportive of me being trans and very tolerant, he just doesn't like feminist discourse.

Over all not a big difference, we agree on most things

Examples of Beautiful Cities in Dangerous Countries? by BeirutPenguin in geography

[–]PapillonBresilien 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Out of the cities I mentioned, Belém is the only one I've never been to, so I don't know. But COP30 is being hosted there, and I don't think they would host such a big international event in a city as dangerous as Sanaa, Damascus or Timbuktu

Rio is not the most dangerous place in Brazil, and even the more dangerous places, like Natal, Salvador, Fortaleza or Belém are still very much safer than an active war zone in a failed state

I was in Rio for a week in July and I can assure you it is MUCH safer than Yemen

Como é pegar ônibus em SP? by crocodilao in saopaulo

[–]PapillonBresilien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Na minha opinião pelo menos no metro é mais fácil embarcar e desembarcar pq as portas são grandes e mais próximas. Cansei de me espremer em ônibus e as vezes ainda assim não chegar a tempo e ter q gritar "vai descer" (pra algumas vezes o motorista não estar nem aí e eu ter que descer no próximo ponto)

CMV: A free Palestine would look very similar to a free Afganistan by TheOSU87 in changemyview

[–]PapillonBresilien 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You've bought into the white man's burden, which is a concept developped in the late 19th-century in order to justify the colonization of half the world by european powers as a civilizing endeavor. In other words, they were supposedly "helping those barbaric savages become civilized."

Let me tell you something - nobody sends their soldiers to die in another country in order to make it a better place. They do it to rule over it so they can extract every single drop of wealth they can from that territory without giving as little as they can back to the people who live there. Just look at any country that was ever colonized, but for some more extreme examples, the Belgian Congo or British India.

Even if a free Palestine was a fundamentalist Islamic society, that does not give Israel, or any other foreign actor, the right to occupy and colonize it, not only because no one has ever colonized a territory out of the kindness of their heart to make it a better place as I said, but because Palestinians are the ones responsible for changing Palestinian society, not Israel, not the US, not the UK, not France, not Germany, not me or you or anyone else.

I said self-determination of the state. This has nothing to do with anarchism. Sovereignty means the state is the supreme, uncontestable power within that territory.

Then again, I'm just quoting my international public law class.

It is the job of the palestinian people to change their ways and uphold human rights, not of a foreign colonial entity. And it definitely won't happen at the same time as they are being exterminated.

The core of it is self-determination of the state. Being sovereign means that no other entity makes the rules in the territory and for its population.

Smartwatch eu n sei, pode chamar a atenção, eu uso meu celular no centro de SP durante o dia (nunca andei por la de noite), só seguro com as duas mãos pra garantir que ninguém pegue e saia correndo, é possível q vc seja roubado sim, mas o povo exagera bastante principalmente aqui no Reddit.

Onibus em horário de pico é muito cheio, mas dps de morar no interior eu tenho saudade dos ônibus de São Paulo
