My partner was saying how it seems like most men cant look at a woman without also thinking about sex with them.
Idk how true that is but it might explain some of the anger towards trans women. Since men cant just think about them, men also have to think about having sex with them, and since so many men are extremely homophobic and dont consider trans women to be women, that would make them gay. And being being considered gay is worse than anything else in the world.
TL:DR Most men cant help but think about bangin’ trans women and they think that makes them gay. Which is a fate worse than death for them.
Ahhh! I like cocks! - them, probably
I don’t know how other men are but generally when I see someone (of any genre) there’s like an automatic evaluation - not in words or conscious - that flags like “are they a threat? Are they hot?” and a bunch of other stuff. It’s just part of the “what am I looking at?” reflex in the brain.
But I don’t, like, linger on it. Don’t play out in my head what sex would be like, or how to defend myself if they pulled a knife, or whatever.
To make a computer metaphor, some attributes are eagerly loaded and others lazily. I think attractiveness is eagerly loaded.
Also I’m comfortable enough not to feel threatened by finding people attractive.
I had a friend that, when talking about this, seemed like their brain didn’t eagerly load the same things. They didn’t “know” if someone was hot until they thought about it, and were confused how that information was just there for me.
My brain operates only on “are they a threat”, and within that is “are they a friend”. I can name only a handful of people I find attractive if I’m pressed, but it’s always on a “this human is art” level.
I’m aroace, though, which likely is why I don’t evaluate people for hotness
What dat mean, aroace
Aromantic asexual, not feeling / feeling little romantic and sexual arraction towards other people.
You might be on to something there. The frustration of cognitive dissonance can manifest as anger if people don’t know how to process it.
You don’t have to “be a fan” in order to support someone’s right to exist.
I have a cousin who is transphobic in the sense that he is very uncomfortable around trans people. He cannot get past it and avoids interactions because he’s so uncomfortable. He also defends trans rights at every turn, publicly and without hesitation. Trans rights are human rights. Full stop.
I feel a bit similar with nonbinariness. Not uncomfortable but maybe unconvinced. But fucking hell, it’s not something worth hating anyone over. And like most things that I’m unconvinced by, it won’t prevent me from treating anyone politely. You’ve got to be a certain kind of fucked to let it get to you to that level, or worse, to whip up that kind of sentiment in others
Yeah, the trans issue really isn’t on my personal pressing issue radar, but I’ll do what I can to shut any trans hate down when I witness it.
and healthcare
we want healthcare too
and education on the fact that we exist so that we can access the healthcare at the start of puberty in a timely manner
The masses need to wake up and realize that the things being denied to us are just a test run for things that will be denied them as well in due time.
And decent employment is important too. Would kinda suck if future job security would delay important decisions.
Universal basic income would be even better, but that seems even more unlikely…
I thought this was about Gaza for a second.
Still applies.
“Many such cases”
The occupy movement should have been way more specific and specified which one percent.
Cool, but iff this was true all around then he wouldn’t be working with Zionists.
This seems more like an “if” situation than an “iff” situation. He could have other reasons to stop working with zionists.

In a brand new never before seen development, an .ml user is seeking ideological purity
Okay, that got an audible chuckle from me.

I just looked into this, Neil Druckmann set up the WLF-Seraphite conflict as the allegory. No dehumanization there, at least, and the WLF (IDF stand in) is shown repeatedly in a negative light. I won’t blame the guy for where he was born.

Any idea of what the “L” stands for in “.ml”?
Lenin? Your point is going right over my head
Yeah, I figured it would.
You dont find anything odd in decrying genocide while repping someone whose government was responsible for similar attrocities?

Perfection exists.
No it doesn’t. It’s an idea. It’s as far away from humanity as any integer is from infinity. Also, I can’t believe I have to tell you this, but Javier Bardem and Pedro Pascal are not the same person. They have lived different lives, had different experiences, learned and grew in different ways. If we just demonized people for not being there yet, your mother would have strangled you in the crib for shitting yourself instead of changing your diaper for you.
Your logic gave us genocide and Trump.

Rich that someone posting on a marxist-leninist instance cares about ideological purity and genocide.
