@mushycrouton
so wild theory. the amount of sexualization done to kids at this age, that cis straights don’t even think about. maybe a part of the bigotry being seen is a reaction to realizing this happens, but refusing to acknowledge it? So lash out cause gotta be someone else’s fault?
@KEBrightbill
grew up in 70s/80s the chance you encountered and out person in a small town was pretty much zip. there was no language, not experience to even understand what gay was except as an insult to get bullied for. so yeah.
@hankgreen
one critique I’m hearing from people who watched it was the lack of explanation about how it was judged, so very little context about what the dancers were shooting for.
@RowanJetteKnox
now wondering if part of the journey of a trans guy is being introduced to the charcoal vs. gas religious wars of grilling? Like does the therapist cover that, or do you just get a brochure?
@BriannaWu
@elonmusk
yup. “this is my shocked face”, the dude has no idea how to run a company like Twitter. Zuck is looking like a saint in comparison, especially by taking personal responsibility for the FB layoffs and the company providing nice severance packages.
@MeatMarket__
yup, hence my “what is management like” e.g. did they clearly communicate expectations? how do they react when there’s an issue? etc. you should feel able to do
#1
but bad management means many will do
#2
, imo.
@legaltweetz
yup… when close friend of mine started their transition many years ago, one of the biggest things we (circle of friends) noticed was how much happier they were overall, finally being themselves. transphobes are so busy being down, they think rest of world should be that way.
@shaun_vids
like if they’re this upset that a parents’ group wants to send off a petition on something they disagree with, maybe time for some therapy?
@brokeymcpoverty
@HayesBrown
or when undercover cops goad the crowd into it, in mpls there is footage of white guy breaking the autozone’s windows early in the action...
@ScottAdamsSays
@hbryant42
@ijbailey
wow. That’s not at all how you explained it back in the day. iirc you had a manager concerned you couldn’t do 2 jobs. You offered to resign if he thought it was an issue. He did and you walked. (not supporting the manager’s opinion, just that’s how you told it.)
@Quibilah1
hmm… so Bigots scared to discuss their bigotry when they demonstrate they are bigoted at work and others take issue w/ their bigotry. got it.
@AngryBlackLady
yup… and yet you’d think the right would appreciate a woman buying kitchen supplies, or does she need her husbands permission. So confused as to which decade they are shooting for… (sigh)
@MavenOfMayhem
I take it this person is also blind to some of the flags the protestors are flying? or is willing to gloss it over as a rouge element, and not part of the “true” protest? sigh.
@MavenOfMayhem
(don’t recall if link I saw was via you) but… recall somebody pointing out lot of expensive trucks involved, and lot of fuel being burnt for a couple week vacation for these guys. So wondering who’s bankrolling all of this? (trying to follow the money as it were.)
@SkyMogul72
@maver42
@BriannaWu
@elonmusk
yup. not defending the guy, but he said it was his fault, they over hired, and here we’ll give you a buffer to get a new position. 6 months med. insurance in the U.S. can be a life saver for some.
@Karnythia
yup - stem doesn’t include media literacy sadly… though I liked the idea of stem for minority groups, overall it sadly falls into the tech bias of “liberal arts are useless” in the larger picture.
@ContraPoints
can’t disagree there. when the bigots hold a fundamentally different idea of what a person is, not sure how there can be a productive conversation. even face to face.
@joshua_boe
@cinatyte
“do these children spark joy?” Ms. Kondo was heard muttering while cleaning up after them. (with all sympathy to parents of young children. mine are adults now, but I remember those days :-) )
@RepMaryFranson
he posted a graphic response to a 2 year old post at 1:50 A.M. - and you don’t think that’s weird?? some would view it as borderline desperate.
@legaltweetz
yeah, posted on this. but it’s like they can’t find a new joke. it’s no different then the “I id as an attack helicopter” or even older “i’m a male lesbian” jokes, like find something new people. sigh.
@BriannaWu
yeah the “lets kick off the journalists” seems a bit much and rash. Like sure I can get the reneging on the airplane guy, that was a bit of a thorn for him, but journalists he doesn’t like? like dude.
@TizzyEnt
arrested will be the nice thing that will happen… I’m guessing if you try that in a less savory area of a town, you’ll get a bit more than expected.
@rxtoriarsenault
yup as soon as the doc pulls the “you’re just an x… and beneath me” card, it’s over. Want’s the pharmacist to assume liability, etc. sigh.
@TheSotaSwede
yup I’m always impressed that the party that claims it’s pro-life and pro-family, will refuse to spend any money on children and families. (well not “those” children and families)
@electric_kedric
@adamfare1996
yup, recall one GC I was talking to on here essentially saying trans men have to use the men’s room cause they’re a traitor to women. Didn’t get the part about if you put rules in place, they have to apply to all part. sigh.
@billybragg
the “what the hell should I do with you” and “if you’re a woman I kinda know how to treat you” speak volumes… cause the answer is not to treat you as an equal human in his world.
@PioneerPress
white man applies to grant program not designed for his situation and sues when he doesn’t get his way. Got it. (again program is for emerging farmers, not guys trying to carve out some piece of parents land for a retirement home)
@RepMaryFranson
So you want the government to dictate to developers how many parking spots they need to build instead of letting the market decide. - you want gov regulation got it.
@kurteichenwald
@DiversityAndCmx
1) they don't understand your hard stance on threats of violence
2) the vet in question has a history of insulting lbgtq authors, fuelling threats against them
3) so they hit back in only way they know
4) vet isn't an automatic pass, imo (and I have friends that have served)
@sabocat_teacher
I went by myself yesterday for my bday… was a blast. So go for it! at worst you’ll end up like me, caught in the cow barn during a rainstorm, so I just _had_ to buy a vanilla shake. yup. cows forced me to. 😀
@dudlydorit
@NecktieSalvage
Therapy helps, just saying. Lot of guys, especially us gen x, were brought up w/ a skewed view of allowable emotions for guys…
@TizzyEnt
as a guy who does “street photography” yup. if the subject or subject’s parents approach and say “no!” you delete the photo (and show them you’re deleting it) Cause yeah, it’s just safer.
@SophieTMe
@ContraPoints
unless you’re looking for a good giggle? still remember her ‘men invented the arch because of how they pee’ analogy in her first book. as a guy I went wtf?
@shira39503
@BriannaWu
@ashtonpittman
@shaun_vids
Never? wow… so the whole subgenre of educational vids like CrashCourse, Smarter everyday, and Practical Engineering can’t be trusted? - Shaun has been doing this for a while and backs up their analysis pretty well from what I’ve seen.
@paulgazelka
as others have pointed out… do some homework. it’s just coincidence, Biden didn’t choose the date. Date of Easter moves around, trans day of visibility is always 3/31.
@mushycrouton
@roseveniceallan
yeah, these are the same people who think the medical industry is making big bucks off transitioning, and ignore the price gouging going on for things like epi pens and insulin, here in the U.S.
@Franz_M_W_Marc
@mushycrouton
also we have had trans gender mammals … most famous is when female lions develop manes and male like behaviors. Also Red & Olive Colobus monkies have interesting lives… do some googling.
@__BCG__
@iamharaldur
@elonmusk
well yes. it would require
@elonmusk
to show mature leadership, he’s stuck in “start up mode” constantly. See how he’s pretty much walked away from Tesla, and tweets less about SpaceX. He want’s shiny, not the real work of a mature company.
@wintersgames
@karaokecomputer
I’d agree that’s the reality. But she could clear it up w/ a simple close up and instead went to a diff profile pic. Like what is she hiding? (yes being silly)
@Maladroithe
@mrotzie
yup… at 11 dad has instilled eating disorders, among other issues, and doesn’t realize it. Gotta get the kids away from him (or somehow get dad help, cause he obviously has issues.)
@Trans_Writes
@PhilosophyTube
sigh. yeah NHS England trying to find more roadblocks to trans health care. (please ignore these drugs have been in use for decades and are well studied, nope, suddenly they have issues.)
@WalterHudson
yeah… lowering standards isn’t the way to go, and blaming the unions for that is kinda low. Would happily support the state investing in education via better teacher salaries, especially in rural areas, to attract better talent.
@mushycrouton
@rconde123
@realMWO
yup. love the “I make an assertion but now it’s on you to prove my assertion” folks. too lazy to even provide a link. lol.
@TGOT_msp
@lakeshow73
@JimForMN
@wccoradio
no, but
@JimForMN
has no f’n clue what a state AG does, and neither do his supporters from what I’ve seen. (granted he could petition the Governor to do it, but still not really AG’s role.)
@unitednoodles
wow! Maybe I’m old, but I would have assumed (as you point out) that he was related to owners/managers and this was a job opportunity for him (common when I was his age, relatives helped out that way) wish you all the best! we shop there on a regular basis!
@itsmodernloveok
@ask_aubry
and yeah agree.. it the girlfriend thinks something is “unmanly” that’s a major red flag. Willing to bet she’ll have opinions on other things that will become issues.
@BadMedicalTakes
we’ll ignore groin guards for women have been sold for decades. Hell I remember adverts for them in Black Belt magazine back in the 80s.
@SherriSantosMSN
when I asked my gen z daughters about it they were “what are you talking about” so yeah… have a feeling it’s not as universal as social media wants us to think. 😀
