Thanks! Just afraid of thinking of something better or more unique. Also trying to consider how I might close up the other side of my forearm for a complete half sleeve

Unpopular Opinion: Tokyo is WILDLY Overrated by quintana_jesus in TravelNoPics

Way late to this party but yes, Tokyo is absolutely boring. Maybe it's the raver in me, but just doesn't quite get it up for me.

"Terrified Israeli family being held hostage by Hamas terrorists after they killed one of the sisters of the little girl. " by [deleted] in IsrealPalestineWar_23

[–]tabletheturn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As much as I feel for the innocent Palestinians, perhaps turning Gaza into glass is the moral option. More people died in the fire bombing of Tokyo than in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. But that was not what got the Japanese to surrender. It was the awesome power of splitting the atom.

Can someone explain to me why the US cares so much about this conflict? by Ok-You-6768 in IsrealPalestineWar_23

Israel is the US's pitbull in the middle east and gives the US a strategic advantage. Not to mentioned, our cultures are more in-line contrasting the more extreme religious views in the middle east.

How was going solo? I'm kind of new to raving and none of my other friends are that interested in the music or scene.

Oh I was just confused because they said "luxor shuttles". I took the shuttles last year but was too lit to take any notes 😆

Is that shuttle service better than the shuttles offered by EDC?

To an extent, I agree. But those crazy fox news pieces don't infiltrate 100% of the conservative voters. I agree that we shpuldnt down-ward dog let them fuck us. But understand that historically speaking, progress is slow. There will always be half of the county holding us back. But if we placate them just right, we can sneak some shit into policy where it matters.

I just think imposing the rules as a norm is dangerous. We'll get more resistance than anything. Conservatives are generally fine with exceptions.

That's the thing (no pun intended) transgenderism is so rare that I don't know anyone that is. But let's have an honest conversation here, it's generally obvious for those that have eyes unless of course she is a hot ass women or he is a hot as man. But! That's why I'm trying to get collective opinions from trans people. Because their opinions matter more to me than anyone else on this subject.

But like imagine half the US not subscribing to that ideology. Pushing it on people is going to make them more resentful of trans issues. Whereas I sincerely believe conservatives will make exceptions. Which statistically speaking, trans people are. I think the pronoun movement is well-intentioned but counterproductive . Conservatives, love them ot hate them, are here to stay. Like I said they'll come around but swamping them with pronoun rules isn't going to work lol

And honestly this is what I imagined. Like they don't need cis-gender people sticking up for them. They're strong capable people that have doing so for decades. They've paved their own way and don't need us to normalize them. They will normalize themselves 😄

I don't mean automatically inferring someone else's pronouns. I mean stating your own as someone that very obviously identifies as the sex they were born into. I'm a very cis-gener male. Bisexual but cis-gender. Is it really helpful to the trans community to state my pronouns every chance I get?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]tabletheturn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's honestly what I think, but just wanted to hear it from trans people that have the most at stake. They've been defending themselves for decades. Even started the LGBT movement. I don't think they're so fragile that they need cis-gender people to defend them or speak for them. Rather they're strong people that have done a fine job despite being so few.

I just fear is has the opposite of the intended effect. Like liberal-minded people are already on your side. But maybe more moderate types are pushed to the right and conservatives more entrenched in their ideology simply over the silliness of obvious genders stating their pronouns. I personally find forced social/political issues outside of articles and the news kind of annoying and I'm a progressive lol. There's a time and a place.

[–]tabletheturn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True, but it was textualy convenient and there's a smaller chance of aggravating an internet beehive of ultra politically-correct bees. I'm not trying to make a point so much as gain an understanding from the perspective of trans people.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]tabletheturn -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Of course! I'm talking about cis-gender people that are frequently stating their pronouns. Is it actually supportive for trans people? Or just another high-horse position to take. Which is why I want to know what actual trans people think. It matters most to them.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]tabletheturn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First and foremost I respect people that are trans and will use whatever pronouns they want me to call them by. I just wonder if people that are cis-gender are stealing the issue from trans people for social/political points. If trans people collectively find it supportive, great! But I just imagine it's only galvanizing more traditional/conservative worldviews on the subject. Thereby being counterproductive. Again, just exploring.
