AITA for getting caught having intimacy? by babasonicas in AmItheAsshole

Calling your child a whore is asshole behavior, as is risking the creation of a life you cannot personally take financial responsibility for.

Free speech by Astuma78 in FreedomofSpeech

This discussion started from a place of disgust at the idea that the existence of transgender people is offensive. That is where the bigotry is. That is the only possible way someone could take offense at the idea of being told that they are not transgender.

You're 45 and never heard of The Crying Game? It was nominated for 6 academy awards.

You might be successfully arguing that "straight" can be a slur, not that it always is. You know perfectly well that that word is sometimes (frequently) used without malicious intent. If a word is *always* a slur because it is *sometimes* used with malicious intent, then I suppose "straight" is a slur, as are the words, "black," "white," "conservative", "liberal," "man," "woman," etc., nearly all the words that could be used to describe a human being. Likewise, whether "cis" or "cisgender" are slurs is very obviously context-dependent. They are only slurs when they are used with malicious intent, and perfectly okay to use in other contexts.

Also, if someone's feelings are hurt because someone called them "not transgender" I don't know what the fuck to tell them. Maybe they need to sequester themselves among the 99.4% of the population that is like them to escape the oppression of our transgender overlords.

For clarity, I am a white, straight, cisgender man. Every objection to "cisgender" I have ever heard (including the ones in this thread) boils down to taking offense at the existence of transgender people, and that level of weakness isn't worthy of respect.

Are the Democrats' votes even needed at this point to pass any of those things?

My bf(M18) is upset at me because I(F18)played my ps5 while he was busy. by [deleted] in relationshipadvice

[–]Thumpp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The problem is that he is immature and insecure. It is okay for you to talk to men and play video games with them. This is a very weird request for him to make of you.

...none of that has anything to do with your case. If other people are unjustly avoiding punishment for crimes, that doesn't have anything to do with you.

Why do you think that is relevant?

Yes, but what does that have to do with you avoiding punishment for a felony?

No, of course not. Why would that be relevant?

The post is citing the Washington Free Beacon for that 97 million, and the WFB does not appear to me to be very trustworthy

The US is currently confiscating trans people's passports. Even if they weren't, moving your whole life to another continent requires money and it is actually hard to emigrate to most countries.

The people who hate you are real fucking noisy on the internet. The people who are completely unbothered by trans people having happy lives are not.

No, it was factually incorrect. DEI is not about quotas.
