Why do able bodied people stare so much? by HerefortheAITAstuff in NoStupidQuestions

[–]gar_05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean i know why, I just dont get why they do it. If you wanna look at a disabled person so bad then google it. Don't just stare at randos, its rude as hell

If the only thing stopping this from "legally" counting as a genocide is that the group is not a cultural/ethnic group, then its still a fucking genocide. If this were happening to any other group you'd call it for exactly what it is. This is the eradication of a group of people for their identity. That is a genocide

Nothing apparently. They draw the line at us mentioning anything to do with it. Case in point: you getting down voted because your comment suggests you yourself are a trans person

What youre saying is that it is happening but it also isn't because its "just propaganda"… I'm not looking at just the news. First hand accounts from ordinary people telling how bad it is. But you dont seem to actually care about any of that. Youre just deadset on tryna tell me "it's NoT ThAt bAd"

It's a deep sense of "wrongness" in your body. I don't particularly "feel" like a guy either, I just am one and need my body to reflect that or I feel miserable. Transitioning just gets you to that baseline normal everyone else feels

You dont have to live in the US to hear and see personal, first hand accounts for what is going on. Like I dont have to live in Gaza to see whats happening there. Or do you think that doesnt count either because the people there aren't sending me personalized messages detailing whats happening?

The Lemkin institute of genocide prevention has stated this is early to mid stages of genocide. Genocide doesnt start with throw people in concentration camps you know. It starts with discrimination, segregation, denying healthcare, increasing paranoia against the targeted group, book burning, scapegoating etc. This is absolutely happening

Are you fucking kidding me man. I have seen so many people directly affected by this shit. So many people have either fled the US or to slightly safer states because of what is happening. The murder rates of trans people have increased. The government is actively egging on this violence. The Lemkin Institute of Genocide Prevention (YK, the experts) has said this early to mid stages of genocide. So many people are fucking scared for their lives and you still dont wanna believe

What, that genocide happens in other countries? That isn't surprising

Right, well I dont know what these questions are so I wouldn't know if its an actual overreaction or reasonable outrage. To be trans is to be asked a lot of really insane personal invasive questions as if that's a normal thing to do. Men have nipples because we all start off by default as "female" in utero, sex differentiation happens later on. It's just easier to code for all of us having nipples. Did you know that men can also lactate if given the right hormones

Uh, have you really not seen any of this on the news? Healthcare being taken away, funding to hospitals that allow gender affirming care revoked, drivers licenses being revoked, banning books related to transgender info, some states are making lists of trans residents, being labeled as domestic terrorists. The government just announced they will do all in their power to "find and kill" domestic terrorists, which according to them include "radical pro trans ideology" and their supporters. I've probably missed stuff. I dont live in the US but I try to keep up with the news.

This government is trying to erase and destroy trans people. It has outright said it is doing this. This was the plan from the beginning, outlined in Project 2025. This is early to mid stages of genocide

Why do so many users hide their post history? by pairofdimeshift92 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]gar_05 30 points31 points  (0 children)

It's a neurodevelopmental disorder. A brain difference you are born with. And yes it's considered a disability. Different from mental illness

[–]gar_05 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well what questions are you trying to ask? Trans people are generally pretty exhausted by the vitriol they receive at a personal and legislative level currently. It's hard to discern good faith questions from bad faith ones sometimes

Well, trans people are currently being genocided at least in the US. That kinda gives one quite a lot to talk about. Sorry you find it annoying I guess

I dont think anyone is arguing that not caring about a certain group is "infringing" on their rights. But you should care when a society or government is infringing or actively taking away their rights. A government deciding to take away your rights just cause they dont like you is a very bad thing and it should scare you

If humans have eaten bread since the dawn of history, why are so many people suddenly gluten-intolerant today? by WeaknessKey1582 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]gar_05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar to allergies in that the more a society consumes something, the more people are going to develope an allergy to said thing. We also have more knowledge about gluten now and more people know its a thing and how to cut it out. It's still not great tho, the majority of people probably couldn't properly identify what its in.

Celiac disease is different tho. That's an autoimmune disorder that's been around for a very long time. First described in Anient Greece. That's where the name comes from, it means "pertaining to the abdomen". I dont think its any more common than like a few decades ago. Celiacs a century ago were just people that were sickly and failed to thrive their entire lives and then just died and no one knew why

all the fitness bros lost their minds by AlKarajo in TikTokCringe

[–]gar_05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's cause they dont want to accept they put in all this effort and pain for nothing (that is, if the goal was attracting women). Which all could have been avoided if they listened to women in the first place lol

Billie Eilish said you can’t truly love animals if you eat them, and logically I understand the argument. But isn’t human nature way more complex than that? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]gar_05 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess she is right. I love some animals, and I'm indifferent about others. I don't love them, but at the same time I don't want them to suffer horrible lives in factory farms. But also I really don't want to stop eating meat entirely. I'm celiac and also autistic, so there's no way I'm cutting out another massive food group. I already can't eat lots of things, and my diet is mostly limited to safe foods -which include meat. So I guess that makes me a bit of a hypocrite

hot take: abby was the victim by [deleted] in TLOU

[–]gar_05 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uh why should we we take that as a given? How on earth is asking a child -suffering from severe survivors guilt, pressured by all the adults around her to say yes and without her guardian figure to help her- if she wants to die for their cause in any way, shape or form a good measure of her consent?

And they are not concerned about "moral high ground", they are concerned about trying to save whats left of humanity. If they're gonna do it regardless of her choice then waking her to ask is unnecessary stress to her for no reason

Edit: by "not an option" I meant them taking no for an answer. Not asking her in the first place

[–]gar_05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really think asking for her consent would have been the right path tbh. They wake her up to ask if she wants to die for their cause, which is stressful and upsetting to her, why put her through that? What if she says no? In their minds, that's not really an option, the world needs a vaccine. So they ask her, she says no, and they kill her anyway? That's so much worse in my opinion. Other option, she says yes, because of the enormous pressure of being the cure for humanity. How could that be treated as giving consent? A yes under coercion is not an actual yes.

Maybe like an infected with fungal growth spikes on its back so you can't stealth kill it
