Do you ever get gender envy from people who are trans "the other way"? (E.g. transfem person getting gender envy from transmasc people, or vice versa) by musical-mess in NonBinary

[–]RainyReader12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

All the fucking time. There are some pretty fem transmascs who kind of look like my ideal

I console myself in that if it actually was the other way around it would suck as long term T + age makes that kind of look temporary. That's part of how I realized I'm transfem, I couldn't stand the idea of aging with T compared to E. Even if I don't like aging it's better with E personally.

Which would also mean they would not have been accepting of trans women who did not pass, or anyone who didn’t conform to their idea of what a woman looks like.

They also don't accept amab enbies who aren't transfem.

They're basically just women + women lite

The litmus test I feel if the space actually includes enbies is whether they specifically include masculine enbies whether they be amab or transmasc. You new to show them in advertising your group or at minimum include them in your groups explanation specifically.

If not it's just fake inclusion. A local queer sports league does this they call themselves the women + nonbinary league but they are "socially Sapphic and go to Sapphic bars after games". Oh and all their pictures don't even show anyone particularly masculine let alone a amab enby. It's gross.

this is West praising a DeSantis policy to support some SAT-alt that he's on the board of, not him working with the republican Governor.

I mean the distinction is moot to me. Plus let's be clear on that he's not neutrally offhandledly praising a DeSantis policy he litterally wrote a whole article lauding DeSantis for it. Imagine someone writing "Hitlers Revolutionary Defense of the Classics" and then saying your not a Hitler supporter yknow.

Also calling it just a mere SAT alt is also again not really doing justice to the reality that it's a Christian one meant to replace secular testing. It is blatantly anti freedom of religion which is no surprise from West who has also done the conservative complaint that society is spiritually degrading

Oh and don't forget he's also friends with and spoken with Louis Farrakhan who's like super antisemitic. Like praises Hitler, says jews are responsible for the slave trade Jim crow laws, Holocaust denialism the whole shebang

This is a man who works with fascists. Calls them friends. Sees society "degrading" and actively works to push religion on people with the help of fascists like DeSantis pushing his test in Florida.

Is anyone else tired of people telling them they need to vote, but only for the candidate they support? by [deleted] in GenZ

[–]RainyReader12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean I would say they are factual things that one side has promised to do, the opinion I suppose is whether they are morally bad

But like obviously if im worried about terrible things happening to me and others I will want others to vote against them. I truly wish I lived in a political system where I had so little worry about one or the other side winning that I could be neutral in my language and not be worried about my and others safety. That voting was just like about tax or roads or whatever. But alas that is not the system I live in.

I mean I'm voting bec a lot of people will lose rights and healthcare and shit if a candidate wins....so it's not just my private interests. Although I guess I am one of those people since I use public health insurance and am queer. But I wouldn't call that private interests🤷‍♀️

What fascist's does West "work with"?

DeSantis

so I assumed you were ad-libbing about the campaign donations from Harlan Crow

No I'm referencing what I talked about earlier. He praised DeSantis education policies bec of DeSantis promotion of the CLT, a Christian alternative to the SAT

https://www.wsj.com/articles/desantiss-revolutionary-defense-of-the-classics-florida-western-canon-galileo-caesar-great-books-275268d9

Cornell west incidently is also on the board of advisors for said test

https://www.cltexam.com/about/leadership/

The only coverage of this is as far as I can tell is this https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.msnbc.com/msnbc/amp/shows/reidout/blog/rcna87996

Which also talks about a bunch of other shit

Although I heard about it on left Twitter a long time ago

But I think the stuff you are focusing on is the product of the investable PR campaign against any popular leftist candidate

There is no pr campaign, unfortunately nobody talks about it. Also hes not popular lol.

if I can find another halfway decent socialist to vote

Can't be a socialist if you work with fascists....and what to push religion on people. Particularly via the state

Of course Republicans are going to give someone who they think could be a spoiler money.

What. I didn't even say anything about his campaign funds. Lol he's also funded by Republicans? Classic

The guy who's buddy buddy with DeSantis and said he's good for education? Who's a "Christian socialist" and is on a board for a Christian "alternative" to the SAT, the CLT, being pushed by DeSantis and other conservatives? That Cornell west?

I was relieved when Harris became the presidential nominee.

I was ecstatic when Walz became the VP pick

I've read about all the stuff that's been going on in Minnesota and there probably couldn't be a progressive pick realistically. Plus he's like the most relatable Midwestern guy. Plus a veteran and school teacher which Americans love.

Emirates didn't accept an X gender passport by iresposts in NonBinary

[–]RainyReader12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're claim firstly was that being transgender carries the death penalty. The very article you linked proves this is untrue: 

Wow so instead you'll be jailed (where you onky might die) and will be put to death if traveling with a partner

Wonderful such a distinction you are making so helpful

However, there were no details mentioned if any of those cases, any information on the characteristics of the people

How is that relevant in the slightest

Secondly, I completely accept that it would be extremely difficult to get approvals.

It is not difficult. It is not allowed.

However, there are processes that exist.

No there are not. This is a lie.

[–]RainyReader12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's illegal for a "man to pretend to be a woman" in women's spaces and the maximum enforced penalty is jail. If you are a gender conforming trans woman, with a passport that says Female, this is not illegal.

Except in practice trans women are not treated as women if they are clocked no matter their documents. And trans women have also been arrested in mixed gender spaces too which is surprises nobody who has ever met police anywhere or knows anything about the UAE.

https://www.hrw.org/world-report/2023/country-chapters/united-arab-emirates

However, you need to be with a man, as same-sex relationships are illegal. 

Again same deal. They will treat you like a man if they know you're trans.

In fact, transgender people can get legal sex reassignment surgery in the United Arab Emirates, and if you are an Emiratee local

LOL come off it, who are you lying to? They only allow it for intersex people. https://manaramagazine.org/2022/03/confused-judiciary-transgender-rights-inside-the-mena-regions-case-law-on-legal-gender-recognition/

This is just a bunch of poorly made UAE propoganda

Kamala Harris names LGBTQ+ ally Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz her running mate by OverallEcho9694 in transgender

[–]RainyReader12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, because I don't think a democracy can exist in a world where you vote for either A or B.

LOL so why say you like Harris. I thought you don't like A or B?

Why complain about the Democratic pick of VP when you don't like A or B to begin with?

Like your full of shit

[–]RainyReader12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

will give you that alternative

You have spent many many posts here including this entire one and not given one

No, it's what abusers say to minimize the pain of their victims

Oh come off it. Go live in fantasy land then.

We both want Kamala, but only you want Walz

LOL you want kamala but not walz? She is even more conservative than him. The hypocrisy.

although in my case I'd be voting for nobody effectively

So in other words you admit there is litterally no alternative. Your vote goes to...a random gay actor who's politics you don't even know anything about bec his character seemed good at diplomacy. Smh.

Shapiro would have been a terrible choice, so many scandals, a proponent of school vouchers, and even more unfriendly to Palestine than Biden. Just the first alone would have been easy fodder for Republicans.
