  • The sugar free ones kinda get old fast for me, I really used to like the green ones (paradise I think) but now I can't stand them.

    Similar things happened with most of the other sugar free flavors.

    In the end I decided that I should really just not drink them at all and now they're a nice treat once in a while when I need a bit of energy and something very sweet.

  • Biological sex is not as cut and dry as you might think.

    Assigned male at birth is overall a better more descriptive term, as through medical transition trans people acquire different sexual characteristics.

    I'm not an expert in the field but this is how I've seen people more educated than me in biology describe it.

  • That's all neat but there's a few problems with advocating this approach as a solution to anything.

    1. The supply chain problem mentioned by the other reply to your comment.
    2. The economic viability for this approach from both the side of supply and demand.

    Local, especially "ethically" produced goods are usually much more expensive, and when people are barely making ends meet.

    It's also much harder to expand a business that sources their goods "ethically" and so on.

    1. This is just not a solution. It's an individualistic approach to an institutional problem.

    Companies are largely not accountable, there is largely no economic democracy (vote with your dollar doesn't count), and increasingly all matters of government are once again captured by large corporations and wealthy individuals.

    The solution here cannot be to just consume better, something needs to change drastically.

  • Food, shelter, hygiene prodcuts, clothes, furniture, fucking everything.

    Yes, some of these things aren't technically necessary but you did include phone and a car, so I am assuming we're not just talking about base subsistence.

    Unless you become a cave hermit or somehow manage to source everything from self employed artisans and cooperatives (and vet their material sources), you will support corporations even if you try to reduce your consumption as much as possible.

    Pretty much all industries have been captured by massive corporations at this point, and vetting all companies and their supply lines is literally not possible to do.

    Think with your head instead of just saying what feels right for once, please.

    1. Most drag shows don't have that sort of content.
    2. I wouldn't bring a child to a drag show that does but honestly I don't care that much, children have seen worse shit.
    3. No one is arguing every child should have to be brought to a drag show where people are in thongs.
    4. This is a non-issue and happens to like a dozen people per year worldwide, meanwhile transphobia and lack of access to adequate healthcare and lack of spaces they're allowed to express themselves hurts all trans people everywhere.
    5. What about all the people feeding their children to hungry bears! I yell while posting a link to an article talking about how someone fed their child to a bear once.

    I don't know how long I have to keep going.

  • I don't want any child to be devastated but just letting children be involved in unsafe for work expression for the sake of letting them have all the freedom is devastating in my eyes.

    The day is March 14th 2018, walking through the street I see a child selling newspaper yelling "Breaking news! Western civilisation officially over!" Without hesitation, I pick up the newspapers from the kid, the front page reads.

    CHILD SEES MAN IN SKIMPY OUTFIT, WESTERN CIVILIZATION FALLS IMMEDIATELY

    An unnamed minor has perceived a man dressed in a skimp outfit as part of a drag performance. Police are saying the child was instantly annihilated before it could even mutter "Mommy why this man has girls dress on?" The body of the child could not be recovered from the scene.

    This event also instantly destroyed Western Civilization™ and all major first world governments are currently destroyed or in crisis.

    Shedding but a single tear I fall to my knees and exclaim "IF ONLY THEY BROUGHT THE CHILD TO A PLACE WHERE NORMAL PEOPLE ARE DRESSED SEXUALLY LIKE HOOTERS, NOOOOOOOOO!"

  • You say that and yet when a child decides to confide in their teacher for their own safety, instead of their parents, you want them to be forced to out the children.

    And the entire "poor confused children" rhetoric doesn't do anything but hurt us. We are not confused, we are devastated by being forced to go through the wrong puberty.

    It really doesn't sound like you're a bigot but please examine the sort of rhetoric you take in and spread.

  • Ah yes not bigotry just made up bs points that are meant to do nothing but stop trans people from being accepted.

    A lot of these points had analogues in the past with other minority rights movements, but why look to the past and see how those points were non-issues when we can instead get mad about the transgenders CoNfUsInG OuR ChIlDrEn.

    And

    Suicide causes for transgender teens is often reported as bullying or bigotry, but not often reported on the lack of support for dysphoria and other mental health conditions.

    This just means we need to let kids be who they are and support them in their transition, that is the only logical conclusion of that issue.

    People matter.

    Unless they're t****n freaks, then they can get outed to their abusive parents and sent to conversion camps for all I care :^)

  • It is also possible to do big, expensive, necessary renovations on a house and have it hardly affect the value at all.

    Isn't this kind of irrelevant unless you're a house flipper? If you own a house and make renovations to it, it is because you find some practical value in it.
