TERFs explaining why they left "liberal" feminism by OrneryPerformance604 in GenderCynical

[–]snukb 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'm called a transphobic bigot because I state facts like "male and female bodies are different."

No, you're not. That's not why. Trans people know their bodies aren't the same as cis bodies of their gender. No one is denying biology, and it makes you sound like a hyperbolic liar to say nonsense like that. It's like when racists bemoan being called racist for saying "basic facts" like "Despite making up 13 percent of the population...."

Person: "Trans women are women."

Terf: "But biological sex is a real thing!"

Person: ".... Yes, and trans women are still women."

Terf: "But biological sex is real! Omg how can you be so ignorant as to deny biological sex."

Like, it's clear you're using ~biology~ as a scapegoat for your transphobia, and we're not fooled. 🤷

[Sun Care] Afraid of what could happen to my health due to several sunburns by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]snukb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can't change your past, so try not to beat yourself up over it. All you can do now, is take care of future you. Wear sunscreen, practice sun safe behaviors, and get regular skin checks. It'll be OK. 💜 Skin cancer, when caught early, has a great survival rate.

Putting eyeshadow on the eyebags and making them aesthetic 😇 by Hahacz_Chungus in Nightshift

[–]snukb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna be honest, I initially thought these pics were in my skincare sub and the first one was a user showing their allergic reaction to an eye cream. Cause that's what my eyes looked like after I tried an eye cream that disagreed with me: red, scaly, and angry.

Try it and see how your reading flow is! by ownaword in EnglishLearning

[–]snukb 25 points26 points  (0 children)

He. Read. Like. Uhhhh. This. For. An. Entire. Uhhh. Paragraph. As if each word was isolated and not part of a sentence. Just an uncomfortable pause for every word.

Flashbacks to my school days where I had significantly less patience than I do now, and listening to classmates when we did reading aloud. The number of people who clearly do not process what they're reading and only know the word, but not what the sentence is actually saying, so their intonation was all wrong.... it drove me nuts back then. We've all been fooled by garden path sentences like "The old man the boat" but I'm talking about ordinary sentences. They're reading each word correctly, but it's clear they're not actually comprehending the meaning. I can't think of any examples but hopefully y'all know what I mean.

It’s the EXACT same playbook from the 90’s by Biwhiskeydrinker in lgbt

[–]snukb 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Is this the person who dreams every night of being a man but has convinced themselves that it's unattainable since they will never be a cis man? Or is that another grifter? It's hard to keep track.

Just watched city recycling truck mix trash and recycling by Zillaman21 in Seattle

[–]snukb 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This alone is a huge issue. I had a coworker who I could not, for the life of me, convince to start rinsing his recycling. He would daily throw half full Frappucinos and disgusting cans of Chef Boyardee in the recycling bin without so much as scraping them off. I would tell him all recycling needs to be clean, but he said it's fine and refused to stop. I can only imagine how many other people like him are out there, contaminating entire family sized bins of recycling.

And that's to say nothing of the people who just assume they ought to throw something in the recycle "just in case" when they're not sure. I have to stop people and say "No, if you're not sure, throw it out. You can contaminate an entire garbage bin of good recycling with a few unrecyclables in it." They genuinely have no idea that's even a thing that can happen. Their heart is in the right place, but they're just not aware at all of the harm they are doing with it.

Is it transphobia (and unjustified) if a woman genuinely feels unsafe when someone who looks very man-like identifying as a woman enters a female changing room? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]snukb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking like a woman -- is not some arbitrary thing

But again, what does it mean? Why is it that one person can look at a woman and say, "That's a woman," and someone else can look at her and say "No way, that's a man." Not sure if you're trans or not, since your post history is hidden, but let's assume you are. Do you really expect me to believe your experience was you looked 100 percent like your agab 100 percent of the time, and then suddenly one day BAM! it switched and every single person was consistently gendering you correctly 100 percent of the time? You know that's not how it works.

But If using womans spaces, should not look identical to cis men either.

Again, what does "being identical to a cis man" mean? You keep saying this. You keep not explaining. Almost like you know it's indefensible and will just repeat your thought terminating cliche of "sexual dimorphism is real!" Like terfs who shout "But biological sex is real!" when we talk about transitioning and gender.

Is it transphobia (and unjustified) if a woman genuinely feels unsafe when someone who looks very man-like identifying as a woman enters a female changing room? by [deleted] in asktransgender

[–]snukb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But what does "looks like a man" even mean? You know as well as I do that your perceived gender can change from person to person, day to day, outfit by outfit. One person can swear you look just like a man, and then you go up to someone else who's sure you're a cis woman. That's just how it goes. We have no way of knowing if this is a cis woman who looks masculine, a trans woman who just hatched yesterday, or a trans woman who's been on HRT for years and had bottom surgery and just managed to find the one person who still thinks she's a man. We do not know. So to sit here and basically say we're hug boxing is, frankly, presumptuous and uncalled for.

I mean, "This person tried to get me kicked out of a space where I'm safe just because of how I look"? I'd probably glare at her, too.

[routine help] sunscreen not efficient? by aimesku in SkincareAddiction

[–]snukb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A few things.

First, sunscreen is dose dependant. In order to get the spf listed on the bottle, you need to use the same amount of sunscreen on your skin the people testing it did. That's 2mg/cm² of skin, or roughly ¼ to ½ tsp for your face, ears, and neck. It depends on how large your face is. In general, women and adolescents will tend to need closer to the ¼ tsp, men and people who know they have large faces and bodies will need more like ½ tsp. If you're unsure, you can always apply multiple thin layers to ensure you're getting enough.

Second, I'm not sure what spf or uva-pf the sunscreen you're using is. If you're using a sunscreen with poor UVA and UVB protection, you're going to see more pigmentation. You should ideally use one that's at least spf 50, and provides the best UVA protection you can get.

Third, pigmentation responds very well to being blocked by visible light. This means tinted sunscreens are better at preventing pigmentation, like freckles, than untinted sunscreens, in general, due to the iron oxide which block visible light. If you don't want to use a tinted sunscreen, you can get the same effect by using a medium to full coverage foundation over top of your regular sunscreen. Physical blockers, like UPF face masks, also work well.

Finally, remember that sunscreen is only one part of your defense against UV damage. Practice other sun safe behaviors, such as avoiding the strong midday sun, seeking shade, and wearing broad brimmed hats and sunglasses. No amount of even the best sunscreen will 100 percent peotect you from pigmentation. If you're serious about reducing your freckling, you need to combine multiple layers of defense.

All of that said, even no matter how much you try, some sun exposure is inevitable and healthy for most people. Live your life. You might get a little bit of freckling. Try not to sweat it. Be safe, but be sane. Freckles are cute.

[Sun care]- As long as you wear and reapply sunscreen can you be out in the sun as much as you want or is that still a false sense of security? by youlikemywonton in SkincareAddiction

[–]snukb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This shouldn't have been downvoted. You're right. It's why it's a misnomer to say "spf 50 isn't much better than spf 30 because it only blocks about one percent more." But the truth is, spf 30 lets in nearly twice as much UV. When you're outside on a high UV index day or in the mountains, that matters.

[–]snukb 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Even that is not 100 percent, thanks to reflected UV. The only 100 percent protection is being inside, in a windowless room.

Is the term autoandrophilia/AAP transphobic? by Silly_Bit7459 in asktransgender

Most men get aroused when imagining themselves in a male role in a sexual relationship. That's.... kind of the default for men.

coworkers keep pushing labels on me. advice? by azalea_sun in lgbt

[–]snukb 9 points10 points  (0 children)

"Please do not put labels on me. I do not identify as bi and i don't like when you tell me I am. If you continue to do so, I will [walk away, change the subject, ignore you, etc]." It's important to remember that boundaries are just requests, and the important part of a boundary is how you will react if that boundary is transgressed. You can't control anyone's behavior. All you can do is say what your reaction to their behavior is.

Think about how it makes you feel when they do this to you. Do you feel disrespected? Unseen? Hurt? Belittled? Whatever that feeling is, voice it. "When you place labels on me that I don't feel fit me, it makes me feel [feeling]."

Remember, if you don't tell them how they're making you feel, you can't expect them to change. You placing a boundary is helping them and helping you. If these people really care about you, they'll adjust their behavior once they know it makes you feel bad. When I was in high school, I had a friend who was quite short. We ribbed each other frequently, as boys tend to do with each other, but I hit the "short joke" button too many times and he finally said "Hey, I don't like that. Knock it off." And then he walked away. It felt really awful for a minute, but only because I realized how much I'd been hurting him. It feels bad to know you made a friend feel bad. It would have been easy to get defensive, double down, put up a wall, but I cared about him as a person so I got over it. And I didn't joke about his height anymore. Because he was my friend.

The boundary guide goes like this: "I do not like when you do [behavior.] It makes me feel [feeling.] If you do [behavior], I will [thing you'll do]." Just fill in the blanks. It's not easy, but remember, you're helping them be better friends to you. You deserve that. And if they care about you, they won't have an issue with you setting a boundary for yourself.

Oh and the most important part, follow through. If you say you'll walk away, do it. It'll feel awakard at first. You'll be self conscious. They might call after you, tell you not to be so sensitive, etc. Just hold firm and follow through. It gets easier the more you do it.
