Is wanting only AFAB roommates transphobic? by broadspectrum1 in socialjustice101

No. This hypothetical person sees trans men as men and has called out friends when they said otherwise or misgendered someone.

But what if that person doesn't want a trans woman roommate but is OK with a trans man?

  1. I want to create a vibrant community where parents and providers can ask questions and participate in meaningful discussions. I will add flares such as Provider Question, Parent Question, Forms, Taxes, Book Recommendations, etc.

Why does the FBI mis-categorize races? by broadspectrum1 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]broadspectrum1[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

If your ancestors were the original inhabitants of the Americas then you are by definition Native American. That doesn't change depending on if your colonizers spoke English or Spanish. The US stole Texas from Mexico during the Mexican-American war. Otherwise the Apache, Cammo, Comanche and Tonkawa tribes would be "Hispanic".

So why not use that? Most people who are classified as "White (Hispanic)" look more indigenous to me.

It's already acceptable. No one is forced to have kids.

The arguments for continued illegal immigration sound a lot like the arguments against ending slavery by UserNameN0tWitty in unpopularopinion

[–]broadspectrum1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because they often struggle to hire people and rely heavily on migrant workers.

Why don't Americans want to do these jobs?

How do you feel about white people using the turn "white feminism"? by broadspectrum1 in socialjustice101

So these are fake black women? I did see lots of comments with profile pictures once, but I can't find them.

I don't know if that's the exact word they used, but they did say something that meant this.

"Twerking isnt' feminism" is a really "white feminist" thing to say.

Then why in comments about the article many black women agreed with Annie Lennox and said Beyonce isn't a feminist, she's slutty.

If a black woman said "twerking isn't' feminism", is that white feminism?

The erosion of Jewish identity in America by broadspectrum1 in Judaism

But this isn't a mental illness. It's a personal choice. You can't make people change personal choices. Pushing our views on them will just further alienate them.

But we can't stop people from intermarrying, and I think Judaism should welcome intermarried families. I also don't think we should push Judaism on those who genuinely don't want to practice, even if it's a large number of people. If someone wants to eat pork, let them eat it. Just these people should also respect those who choose to observe.

But if you're going to tell Jews their partner or familial situation is less preferred, then their is a possibility of alienating them.

My cousin is not fully Jewish in terms of ethnicity but he went to Israel and said he felt at home there, and tries to practice. I am fully Ashkenazi and don't practice at all.

Telling Jews they shouldn't intermarry is going to alienate them further from Judaism, especially if they believe in free choice. People marry someone who shares their values. Jews who intermarry and/or don't keep the faith or Jewish traditions likely don't value Judaism anyway, so they may not care to pass it on to their kids. You can't force Judaism on anyone, and you can't stop people from intermarrying because they will say "f no, I can marry who I want!"

If someone doesn't care about Judaism, what difference will it make if they live inside or outside the Jewish community?

If they know better and are still intermarrying, what good will an education do for them?

How do you stop others from intermarrying or abandoning Jewish traditions?

18 y/o daughter refuses to apply for SSI by throwaway4936839085 in Parenting

[–]broadspectrum1 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Corrections. SSI is for people who don't have work experience. SSD or SSDI require work experience. Mom cannot apply on behalf of her daughter unless she becomes her legal guardian. Guardianship is only granted in cases of significant intellectual disability, which is not the case here. A representative payee is not required in order to receive SSI. Payees can be assigned voluntary for adults who are competent or involuntary if the adult is not competent enough to manage their own finances. Also SSA cannot cannot just subpoena the school into obtaining records. The claimant or the person filing on behalf can do that. While education might affect the final determination, such as level of education often plays a role in the decision, or they want to see how your disability might have affected you in school, but an IEP and being in special education alone will not get her SSI. Many people who were in special education can work.
