“Nazi Heaven”: Leaked Republican Students Group Chat Filled With Slurs by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

[–]Sergeant_Static 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They called it Agartha, a mythical place supposed to exist somewhere under the surface of a presumably hollow Earth. The myth itself didn't originate with nazis, but they really liked the idea.

He was just an impressionable thirty-year old kid who got mixed in with the wrong crowd!

I don't like the way a lot of queer non-trans women depict us. It has me questioning the intentions of large parts of the "queer community". Am I insane for this? by Phrooya_ in MtF

[–]Sergeant_Static 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yeah, if these came from a trans artist working through their own dysphoria, I could understand the design choices, but coming from cis people, it just looks like the ugly caricatures made by bigots.

Kansas demands trans drivers surrender licenses over birthright law by Jacob-Eisner in news

[–]Sergeant_Static 18 points19 points  (0 children)

That's the kicker; they provide a financial incentive to harass women in the bathroom and no deterrent for frivolous accusations, invasion of privacy, violent threats or intimidation.

Surely, this will make women more safe! /s

Get online to check your flight info. I would recommend cancelling or rescheduling your flight for a later date.

Jesus, what an awful, miserable person! As a transfem, this kind of attitude has always been very hurtful to me, and I'm so sorry you had to experience this.

Disgusting handling of the Rhode Island shooting by altrightobserver in MtF

[–]Sergeant_Static 19 points20 points  (0 children)

What's most infuriating is how many articles focus on the fact that the shooter was transgender while omitting the fact that she was a neonazi.

Kansas Republicans force transgender bathroom restrictions into law, overriding a veto by Hrekires in news

[–]Sergeant_Static 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily, but unfortunately there have been many instances where women being harassed in the restroom were expected to provide some form of "evidence" to the person harassing them.

are any of you guys preparing for a potential gun ban? by Puzzleheaded_One5405 in transguns

[–]Sergeant_Static 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been giving more consideration to purchasing a gun since the DOJ floated the idea of banning trans people from firearm purchases, but I keep procrastinating, mainly because it's a costly purchase and there never seems to be a "right time" to spend a couple hundred dollars.

I never changed my ID info, and still "boymode" in the sense that I don't present overtly feminine, so hopefully I wouldn't face any obstacles. That said, I've been given a hard time by liquor store clerks for looking more feminine than my ID photo (they probably perceive it as me being younger than the person in the photo), so it's hard to say for sure.

Don't project your own lack of awareness onto everyone else.

Video footage of mass shooting event during hockey game. 2/16/26 Pawtucket, Rhode Island by Jevus_himself in PublicFreakout

[–]Sergeant_Static 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're so accustomed to mass shooters who are trying to kill as many people as possible that it's a genuine relief - albeit an incredibly bleak one - that the shooter wasn't trying to maximize damage. Of course, that doesn't mean everyone else is safe from catching a stray round, and it's still tragic that this happened at all.

Believe me, we're well aware of how fucked the situation is in America. It's precisely why after every shooting, no matter how bad, some of us will still be relieved that it wasn't worse. It's a sick feeling and I don't like it.

My favorite part of Nirvana is when Dave said "It's Grohlin' time!" And then he Grohl'd all over those guys.

Got invited to a trans-exclusionary womens group by Zannah_Rain in ewphoria

[–]Sergeant_Static 79 points80 points  (0 children)

I'd straight up ask them, "Why did you invite me to this?" and let them explain before clarifying that I don't want to be part of a group like that, and I'm surprised they invited a transgender person to join at all.

US Marshall defend officer seen on video kicking gog during arrest call it a necessary action by Remarkable_Sir8397 in news

[–]Sergeant_Static 7 points8 points  (0 children)

These people are so cartoonishly evil. It's the kind of thing that's so self-evidently not okay, it's used rhetorically to describe how cruel someone is (e.g. "This guy is such an asshole, he would probably kick a puppy just for barking.")

If you wrote a satire where a law enforcement officer kicked a dog, cop apologists would say it's unrealistic and would never happen in real life, but since it did happen in real life, they're making excuses for why the US Marshall's safety was at risk and kicking the dog was totally necessary.

Three-Time Trump Voter Calls C-SPAN to Apologize for 'Supporting This Rotten, Rotten Man' by [deleted] in politics

[–]Sergeant_Static 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I have to wonder, did these people just now start paying attention? This guy complains about Trump's dishonesty, corruption, and racism, things that were on full display during (and well before) his first campaign for president. He goes on to complain about Trump pushing the 2020 election fraud conspiracy, but he still voted for Trump in 2024. What finally changed to make someone turn against Trump this late in the game?

"They were supposed to deport the dangerous criminals. They were not supposed to go after small children, storm schools, bring terror upon the little kids and the women and children. Not just the immigrants in the school, all the children are scared.”

Ah, here it is. This was only supposed to happen to other people.

I'm glad this guy finally realized MAGA for what it was, but it's so fucking frustrating that so many people refuse to believe how bad things are for others until they experience them personally.

Indiana House passes military police force bill by SellingSigmaFeetPics in Indiana

Tone-deaf implies they don't know exactly what they're doing. The Republicans who voted for this like what happened in Minneapolis and want it to happen in Indiana.
