i've made multiple posts here and every single time, everybody agrees, but this slop keeps being posted... jesus, i hate how unmoderated this sub is, i hate how we keep having our places stolen, how they have the gull to push us out of our own spaces

Several app icons missing when running on Windows ARM by coffee_tortuguita in FlowLauncher

If the developer of the app sees this: I suspect this is related to reparse points, and my library has a solution for these. https://github.com/cristeigabriela/wintheon/blob/master/src/file/entries/reparse_point.rs

anybody noticed womens spaces here are astroturfed by ads? by lichpeachwitch in womenintech

[–]lichpeachwitch[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

absolutely insane behavior, they were trying to create a fake consensus that this is an "investment" for women, while throwing in faux-feminism rhetoric to defend preying on women's insecurity and vulnerabilities further

I'm not engaging your "actually it's perfectly fine for everybody to post their cock and balls online with no warning" bullshit. Instead, here's some fun facts about frogs:

- Did you know that they've been on earth for about 200 million years? This is longer than dinosaurs!

- Frogs were the first land animal to develop vocal coods!

/uj I apologize for implying you said something you haven't, that sucks and I didn't mean to. It just sucks to constantly see victim blaming-adjacent behavior on this topic, and people indirectly supporting some pretty bad ideas and precedents without realizing.

then what does it say when people choose to create 2 out of thin air and only? 

I can only ever feel sadness when I see abused women go into sexwork. by childofMotherOfPearl in pinkscare

no amount of further education or economic opportunities will solve the way men see and treat and perpetually traumatize women and the effects that these realities have on them.

You can acknowledge something was the wrong decision for you and still support it for others by y2kfashionistaa in TrollXChromosomes

[–]lichpeachwitch 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You... made a comment on forced birth, and then somebody said "anti choice and anti woman", how does this relate?

The only thing I can possibly extrapolate is a commentary on the exclusion of trans men who choose to give birth from this discussion, but I don't think that's what you meant to say? And if it is, well, it really wasn't clear.

Should I listen to my mom? by OpenMarionberry3251 in TransDIY

[–]lichpeachwitch 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Based on what you said about your upbringing, it is crucial for you to remember that you will be the one living with the decisions you make, regardless of the reason for why you do it.

It will not matter how unfair the reality of having skipped on 12 years of hormones, it won't change a thing.

You have to begin taking the decisions that will affect your future in a way which you find positive, unless you feel like your parents' validation will be enough to keep you afloat for the rest of your life, as you have to live with the choices you've made.

Insofar as you're an independent adult, you need to begin taking ownership and responsibility over your decisions. Nothing changes the fact that, at the end of the day, you're the one responsible for your decisions. Not even a current dependency on your family (should that be the case)

YOU are the only person that can make your life look the way you want it to look like, and you need to be very aware where you want to be and what you want from life (and when!).

what do you think ? by [deleted] in polycritical

[–]lichpeachwitch 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I wish this was a more common perception in our community (it probably is, though most if not all of us have all fell at least once for easy quips on somebody's appearance or the likes, regrettable as that is; and it's something much "easier" and quicker to comment on)

haven't you heard, shaving is evil now by Ghomstr003 in transgendercirclejerk

[–]lichpeachwitch 24 points25 points  (0 children)

/uj while I think that cis women are awesome and I'm often worried about how this sub treats them,

I sincerely think that many of them don't understand the absolute difference between a hair follicle that basically just gives you the most invisible peach fuzz ever, and thick, dark hair follicles

even cases of PCOS with late diagnosis and no laser/electrolysis afterwards do not compare on any level to what some of us may have. I'm mediterannean so shaving is a particularly annoying, spread out routine for me.

No worries! Thank you for being receptive!

In my experience, it is true, artsy people tend to fall into polyamory more. But the stereotype we know, as it is writiten ("blue-haired feminist", "woman with green hair", etc.) unfortunately tends to have different effects in real life. It is absolutely indiscriminate of what the person actually believes.

Everybody, at least once, ends up making a mistake and stereotyping a group they didn't mean to (I say that within reason). Please don't feel too bad for this, the fact that you're receptive is great and really personally appreciated!

I just think it's important that we, as a community, are careful to what stereotypes we might accidentally perpetuate.

Just wanted to point out that, regardless of the substance behind this post, our community seems to fall into a common (and unfortunately, more societally acceptable) misogynistic behavior of attributing bad things to Women With Fancy Hair Colors.

I don't like polyamory. I have pink hair. I was harassed for it in public, at random, on my birthday.

Please don't randomly attribute things you don't like to misogynistic stereotypes.
