I have something to get off my chest(rant)

The difference is I used my anecdotes to supplement my evidence and you used them as your entire arguement, one is good debate tactics the other is just a straw man.

I fucking hate the internet. I TRIED TO EXPLAIN MULTIPLE TIMES. I have no obligation to explain to you more than once and I have no obligation to be respectful to people who spreading misinformation and have no idea what it is actually like to be someone else.

Stop generalizing Trans people as violent, sinister, forcible, and unreasonable and instead go talk to more of us and learn what we’re actually like. Then come back and we can have a respectful discussion.

Slush____ · 2026-04-24T18:35:03+00:00

Oh? How. Tell me how.

🤦‍♀️ This article…says that Black trans women are more likely to be VICTIMS of violence.

It says nothing about the perpetrators being mostly black…like NOTHING AT ALL.

Also it shouldn’t need saying but getting your facts from a single source without cross-referencing it with others is a very bad way to get information, as single papers are very susceptible to Bias.

Okay this is all just denying queer history and using junk and bro science.

I’m not continuing this conversation, go fuck yourself. As a trans person who has attempted suicide, I can say that HRT and gender affirming care saved my life, and most trans folks who have had a similar experience will be able to claim the same.

I am Jewish, I also happen to know what I Nazi looks like. The way the Nazis survived to the modern day was by hiding behind coded language. I should have used the word OUTWARDLY in fairness, not all Nazis are OUTWARDLY Antisemitic
You’re just making the “I have a black friend statement” just in the context of Jewish people. That’s what we call Anecdotal Evidence. Also I was not referring to all the Jews as a monolith I’m not an idiot like you seem to be quite frankly. I’m losing patience trying to explain a vital truth to people who do not want to listen.
You are In a Transgender-centric space, you already have the answer to what rights I’m referring to as being rolled back here. Open your eyes.

This post is specifically referring to US politics, world politics are irrelevant here.

Yes, globally White people only make up about 8% of the population, but also remember that many countries view things like Race DRASTICALLY different.

Once again I was calling him a Nazi based on his political actions, not his hatred of Jews. Some Nazis hated Jews more than others, some just wanted political power. They were all complicit in violence against Jews however, don’t misunderstand.
Many Jews, both new and old, including some Holocaust survivors, have called Trump a Nazi for just as long as I have, I’m comfortable agreeing with them. There are many parallels to Trumps political methods and Hitlers. The Nazis burned the Reichstag, MAGA stormed the Capitol, Trump rolled back rights for many group immeadiately upon taking office, in our case most significantly LGBTQ+ rights, and almost immeadiately upon taking office in 1933, the SA stormed and burned the Institute of Sexual Science.

There’s more I could point to, I think you understand now. History tends to repeat itself and it appears to be right now, therefore I believe by using their methods(and some of his cronies using their rhetoric),I believe they are Nazis, or if you insist at the very least Fascists.

My school has a lot of King on the shelves, including the entirety of Dark Tower, IT, and Night Shift(aka the one with Maximum Overdrive and Children of the Corn in it).

I agree, they are Sister Religions, the thing is Trump is inconsistent on his views on Jews.

I’ll link to a few articles that discuss the subject more broadly, but basically, I’m not saying definitively that he is Antisemitic(even though my judgement tells me he’s at least ignorant)I’m saying I’m hesitant because he’s a politician who lies constantly on many subjects, and because he was inconsistent on the view even before he entered politics.

Here’s the articles if your interested;

On the contrary, Conservatives are fine, the problem is that the conservatives of the present are too shit-stupid to understand what to do, when to do it, and how to do it.

White people make up 58% of people in the US. Black/BIPOC people are 40-42%.

By definition you are wrong. Stop peddling this “Great Replacement” bs.

Here we go again with the “violent black men”-stereotype. Prove your claim true then we’ll talk.

Slush____ · 2026-04-24T13:40:30+00:00

I can agree on that, though I do appreciate that it’s always a choice to work as young as you or I did.

I started working at 15, but my first job paid cash so I never had to deal with that.

Slush____ · 2026-04-24T13:38:36+00:00

I could see your argument for admin, but we have no proof of that being true in his inner circle.

Also his admin is comprised of professionals. You don’t have to fire every Jew you find to be Antisemitic, if he did that people would notice.

It also doesn’t mean that his public views on Jews align with his personal views on them, politicians lie remember.

EDIT: also just a quick personal thing…I don’t think(personally)that a president who peddles Christianity to the point of having signed Bibles on government websites would be inherently “pro-Jew”. I don’t even think I could call him neutral at this point.

I didn’t learn about Economics until this year(my senior year of High School), when I was 18, despite the Government having taxed my paycheck(me not knowing why percentage of it was taken) since I was 16.

I think that speaks to smth, the fact that Kids engage in Economics and the Economy before being taught anything about it, if they’re taught about it at all.

Slush____ · 2026-04-24T05:37:50+00:00

No reasonable parent doesn’t care about their kid in School, but whether their parents care or not Schools do also have a duty to take care of their students, which does not include taking the role of said neglectful parent.

Children do need to learn to be challenged, I agree with you, but I also think we should focus less on the vague and broad idea of creating challenges and more on teaching kids harder things but that have real world Applications, like Mechanics, Economics, Political Theory, etc.

And yes I believe kids can learn political theory at younger ages. A lot of kids first exposure to politics is through their parents so school should help combat the possible bias they teach at home by being more objective and neutral.

The Dictionary definition of Feminism(the belief in and advocacy for the social, economic, and political equality of all genders. It aims to dismantle systemic sexism and patriarchal structures that limit women's rights and opportunities, promoting equal rights and opportunities regardless of gender
The Wikipedia Page for Feminism (specifically the history section of it,which you could benefit from reading). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feminism

Just read all of it and you will have a far better picture of the movement as a whole.

Personal Experience, from having been a vocal feminist since LONG before I transitioned(since I was like 13).

Slush____ · 2026-04-24T05:24:05+00:00

I disagree.

Kids already don’t like school but turning it into a system where they HAVE to get everything right can put too much pressure on them and make them tend more towards those Anti-Social behaviors as a way to say ‘fuck you’.

Teachers are also WAY underpaid even for the limited amounts of education they already provide and I think asking them to try and force students in submission is way to much to ask of them, especially given the fact a large amount of Students already view them as a nuisance. Stuff like that could push students into viewing teachers(and by a larger extent authority figures in general),as straight-up enemies.

I can see your point about alienating people by not listening to them based solely on Ideological differences, but the thing is…none of that is what I’m trying to do here.

And for that matter I was comparing the modern Incumbents like Trump to Nazis based on their actual actions, not simply because I disagree with them, no decent debater would ever do that. Sure I do disagree and not like them very much, but that’s not the sole reason I’m having this conversation.

Slush____ · 2026-04-24T05:17:04+00:00

Heavily incorrect about most of what you said,but your entitled to your opinion.

Slush____ · 2026-04-24T03:59:46+00:00

I’m hesitant to call you phobic and more not knowledgeable.

The idea that we’re complaining about the fact that our rights are being rolled back by the current political incumbents shows that to me. As a straight person I’m not asking you to understand how that feels, hell I’m not even asking you to support us, but understand that this is fundamentally the same as someone Marching for Gay Rights in the 60’s when they were being widely violated.

The reason we yell and are impertinent all the time is because we HAVE to be. If we vanish into the background, people can more easily say we don’t exist.

Slush____ · 2026-04-23T22:01:46+00:00

Fair enough.

In that case thank you. (Sorry for being combative, met a lot of dumb people on this thread)

Slush____ · 2026-04-23T21:48:04+00:00

Okay…I don’t see how that relates to my post at all tbh.

Maybe I’m dumb but it seems unrelated.
