Ciceronian opinions!

Banger post

I’m sure the bill gates money will protect them lol

Modern liberal democracy is authoritarian too, it’s just that a different group of people hold the keys. Would you support defederating with every instance that is aligned with liberal democracy?

What a banger, good job op

Racism, not doing our international reputation any favours mate

Oh no im on gen x lemmy again

Best not to ask .world and piefed users for obvious reasons. Socialism is the transitionary stage towards communism. Examples are Cuba, China, the former Warsaw Pact and USSR. Communism is the goal.

The feds are gonna come and whack you

These reactionaries will never be happy until literally everything is a fascist propaganda outlet. Not content with all mainstream media and social media, wikipedia and other community information hubs must fall next

wb violet we missed you

Look at those pathetic fucking toadies clapping after her unhinged response. The enemy within.

I’ve never hurt anyone nor has anyone given me grief for using the women’s bathroom. I’m sorry you’re hurting on other people’s behalf but that’s no excuse to demonise innocent trans women

Sadly true. Remember bluesky

The media is the eternal enemy of an ALP government

Fair enough, I agree with that. It’s disillusioning that the only way to be safe is to be invisible.

I am a trans woman myself so I understand how they feel. We’re an inherently small part of the population and there’s an extreme sense of vulnerability that comes with that. I think you’d understand if you were part of the demographic. I’m sorry that you feel frustrated though, truly, because I know that you mean well.

Once again I understand what you’re saying and acknowledge that you’re not coming at this from a place of malice (at least that’s how I see it). That being said, I’ve never met anyone who actually had some of kind phobia of people assigned male at birth (AMAB), or trans women specifically, in the context that you’re describing. I think it’s a wedge issue that causes people to feel strongly without there really being much rational basis for it, which I think you acknowledged to an extent? We can’t base laws off feelings or extremely rare cases where the person’s true intentions can be challenged. In my experience, the only people who express any kind of fear of AMAB people are activists involved in groups that claim to focus on women’s issues who have an incentive to advocate for transphobia. Sometimes they have financial connections to American evangelical groups, that sorta thing. Rape survivors don’t tend to have that opinion in my experience, although maybe you’ve met some who thought differently, idk. Either way, I have to say from a personal experience that I don’t want my rights taken away based off such weak arguments, and in the case of the US and UK, they rarely stop at segregated spaces, they usually try to remove us completely from public life in an attempt to force us to detransition.

I understand that you’re coming at this from a reasonable place, but this comment seems unusually hostile in a way your previous comments weren’t. I understand what you’re saying about the role of emotions, but we have to decide as a society that your emotions end where others’ rights begin, otherwise we could go down a very dark path. Racists could easily argue that banning indigenous ppl from white society is valid because they have their own indigenous communities.

But at what cost?

4 inches is definitely above average…
