  • Y'all wanna do a poll for context? Hope that's allowed, since pretty sure updoots means nothing on Lemmy. Apologies if not, anyway here I go:

    Is trans a slur? Updoot the corresponding comment to cast your vote, or downdoot to be a troll I guess idk

  • I only ever call myself things like cisgender for the sake of argument, as it is the identity I was born into and lived with for many years before realizing I was agender.

    I personally consider cisgender and cishet to be slurs solely because I've so largely seen it used in a derogatory context, the same way "white male" is used by certain bad actors to signal outrage

    In all reality gender, sexual preference, race, ethnicity are all our of place in most civil discussion-- the majority of the time it is brought up is in discussion of identity politics. And if what we want as a society is equality, then identity should take a back seat to humanism.

    Unfortunately, as I'm sure my comment score will no doubt soon reflect, a lot of people take issue with this notion of equality and, as I'm sure replies to my comments may end up reflecting, are ready to disagree and offer their own definitions of equality. It is therefore the duty of the reader to decide what equality means to them, unfortunately.

  • Yes. I am refusing to give a fish, and stating bluntly I have no time or energy to teach them to fish. I acknowledge they need to know how to fish, and was making light of it, now I am adamantly proclaiming that they need to know how and where to fish before they meet an orca.

  • I, quite bluntly, see no good reason to advise an internet stranger on their security practices when they can learn for themselves.

    Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. But I've no time to teach strangers the beginnings of fishing, let alone what they need know in order to fish safely.
