Agreed. Unfortunately, Lemmy also took a step back to 2010s reddit when it comes to tolerance and self-analysis too, apparently. Schumer is terrible but he's terrible in a way that doesn't have to be articulated as a slightly elaborated version of "that's gay"

I agree, but I would much rather have an article stating such from any source that is not Jacobin tbh

If you think conservative anti-LGBT sentiment is a recent phenomenon I'm...almost impressed at the cultural blackhole-ing there, lmao.

This is similar to what I thought. I've seen a lot of people really reluctant to accept dysphoria that's almost always stemmed in like, believing there's a right process to be trans explicitly so they can deny that belief to people they don't want to be trans, so this could be a good first step but that mindset may prove to be toxic down the line; only time can tell.

You can see similar stuff in all the cis people eager to dictate that you should avoid accepting your own transness because, of course, you wouldn't want to be trans if it weren't something dictated to you by someone else who wasn't biased in how you feel and...etc etc. Cis people are weird about that stuff and it's become genuinely more rare that they don't try to find ways to weasel in their discomfort over it in language of care these days, which is a constant difficulty to navigate.

I would say, get care at your own pace, and don't go backwards just to follow the process dictated to you by others if it's not what you want; more often than not whether they accept you is already decided regardless of the avenue you take for it.

Best of luck with everything. It's a rough journey, but one you kinda have to take in the end.

Just say you're fine with bigotry as long as white dudes benefit in the way you want, it's a lot faster and more intellectually honest.

When I lived in rural areas basically the only sign of gay people was the pride merchandise put out by large corporations.

It doesn't matter in cities that are full of open gay people, but the universal application of these initiatives means it ends up normalizing this stuff in areas that might otherwise not experience it, and for that alone it's a problem that these kinds of things are going away.

It's honestly kinda wild to me how many gay folks are so "I hate pride stuff!" these days tbh, but I guess that's differing perspectives for you.

Fuck Tim Apple, but please do not ever utter the phrase "bad gay" again.

Bernie lost the popular vote in the primaries twice. It's mostly white guys that want him, honestly, which isn't a popular sentiment but it's true.

He doesn't speak to the problems of marginalized communities who make up a large portion of the Democratic base.

Yeah, me getting to use the bathroom is just a rhetorical distraction in the end.

Go back to your hole, .ml troll

Trans people voted for Harris, overwhelmingly. The problems were with white guys with a weird stick up their ass trying to convince everyone else not to vote to protect us. Good work I guess, you got what you wanted.

Yeah, it's genuinely a problem when you just want to not see entire instances based on the userbase they culminate. I wish blocking instances would actually block the users associated with it, but alas.

I've taken to blocking everyone @lemmy.ml on sight since every time I see them it's some vitriolic rant about how trans people are class traitors or some other weird shit I don't wanna see, but it is a bit of extra effort and annoyance each time a new one pops up.

In reality a not insignificant portion of them would probably vote for Trump to "own the libs" honestly.

She has a really checkered record wrt trans stuff altogether. I'm concerned.

She's better than Trump but a significant step down from Biden in terms of most of the things I care about which makes her a concerning pick, combined with the fact that she performs worse in polling (if that was the main concern). I hope I'm wrong but I'm concerned that this basically sealed the Dems' loss.

Sanders' LGBT policy platform was a joke in 2020 compared to everyone else's, even Bloomberg's. He's moved backwards in that area which is kinda distressing.

Google isn't their employer, it's the contracting company. The contract not being renewed is inherently a business decision between two busines entities, which is probably going to result in the contracting company laying off the workers but that can't be directly tied to Google because...Google didn't hire these people, they hired a company that happened to employ them.

Is it a loophole? Possibly, depending on the structure of the two businesses in question...but it's very unlikely to be suddenly declared illegal, it's been common practice in sectors for a while for basically that reason. Contractors get the shit end of the deal and that needs to be addressed directly instead of pretending they're already protected by laws.

more concerned with systemic inequality and foreign genocide

...what in this prevents them from doing their job and actually forwarding a pretty objectively good bill?

Most Europeans are also not particularly approving of trans folks tbqh. There's a reason we emigrate to blue states across the ocean.

They wanted to kill a minority, but they called her the right pronoun.

Surely this cancels it out.

Only one of those parties wants me dead, but I guess if you view it from the perspective that minorities just don't matter at all, I can see how you'd get confused.

Uhh

Please do not invoke my rights as an excuse to let Trump take away more of my rights. What the fuck.
