"Lets give everyone medicare and break up Google and subsidize manufacturing" is hardly a planned economy. The most extreme dont wanna go anywhere past the Nordics, and we're the richest country in the world- we could easily afford it. The only place youll meet legit planned-economy advocates, because not even all Socialists fit that descriptor, is lemmy.ml and similar forums
For some reason I assumed you were one of the genderfluid types, and was confused why you were so eager to claim a difference. Im one of those with said horrific medical condition. When I referred to iconography and community; I meant the trans community, flag, ect.
Why the hell is this downvoted? Good
Not having empathy should be cause for at least suspicion in and of itself
And even if it were, we should totally go to the extreme of tolerating psychopaths
Youre the ones who believe everything on Facebook, Fox, and Newsmax
Also slop meamd the industry is at least not actively hostile to my existence. There are much worse fates than being pandered to and patronized
Arent you basically admitting "genderfluid" folks and those with sex dysohoria (for lack of better term) are not the same thing? Because if thats the case, why do you need to claim our community and iconography?
Because atp, trying to be empathetic isnt worthwhile. Long as I get my meds, surgery, and public restrooms; fuck everyone else. Theyre welcome to move, probably take up the social programs that those states will have to integrate themselves
Also its not like we can just walk in.
Thats not even a good thing though. And why not put other historical figures on money? Would it be so objectionable to out MLK Jr or General Sherman on money?
They probably just know saying "Ew, I dont want no tyrant Lincoln on my money" looks really bad even now
If there were an ethical way to get rid of or away from them, Id be down. As for reaching out, thats all well and good but I am not a politician and am under no obligation to be nice
I DO want magats and those who abstained to hurt though
No. Going full bore worked for Republicans, I want it in my representatives and peers. No more reaching across the aisle, no more compromise, woke up or die
The common man keeps falling for it when he has an obligation to be better
Sounds like they shouldve sbowed up, maybe if their abstinence had consequences theyd be good little party line voters next time
If you were willing to vote for said cheeto supreme over egg prices, that makes you an idiot.

Lemmy is a smaller site than Reddit, even before taking into account federation. So I cast a wide net here. A lot of specific popular shows like Futurama have dedicated communities, but I thought it'd be fun to have a generalized one

How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals
I constantly see angry mobs of people decrying "woke", "critical race theory", ""grooming"", and whatever other nonsense they made up this week. They march around with guns, constantly appending lib as a prefix to any word they can use to denigrate. They actively plot violence and spew hatred in the open.
You never see the inverse. There is no ConservativesofTiktok getting churches harassed into shutting down for the day or calling in threats. You don't see cringey boomer memes on the left. And whenever I openly express those feelings, try to create that sentiment; I get shut down. Noone agrees, I'm often shamed and muted. I just don't understand why that parity exists, it's extremely isolating to feel so alone in this
If you get a blood transfusion from a Force-sensitive, do you get Force sensitivity?
I know a little bit of lore, but not a whole lot (I just listen to lore channels at work lol). But the question occurred to me upon thinking about midichlorians. I recall hearing somewhere they connect to blood cells, but I know I'm losing my mind so maybe I just made that up somewhere
I'm transsexual, not transgenser
Some people feel the term is outdated. They say this while parading around what to me seem oxymorons, like "non binary women" or "he/him lesbians".
When a lot of these people say they aren't comfortable with their gender, I notice they often mention things like clothes, makeup, hobbies. More generally, they seem to talk about gender roles- masculine and feminine- than something to do with their bodies.
Here's the fact of the matter. Bathrooms, pronouns, legal documents; they aren't referring to any of that. They're referring to what's in your pants, or if you have boobs, or grow facial hair. Most people, myself included, don't care if you wanna wear clothes or behave in a way assigned to the opposed sex (there are folks who do of course, and most of us here know they're assholes). But unless you're changing something about that, it doesn't warrent a change in your pronouns or documents or bathrooms. As much as my own rights are under threat, I can't help but sympathize with the folks upset with that, I don't wanna share the ladies' room with what amounts to a femboy or "metrosexual" either.
Sex is bimodal, and I use the term bimodal specifically. There are edge cases, such as intersex people, or those with hormonal conditions like PCOS. I would argue transsexuals, those like myself who seek to change or sex, are among them. And hell, actual enben who seek out procedures like gender nullification too. I don't take hormones because I want to be feminine. I take them to be as close to female as I can possibly get with the medical technology available. That's how I want to be seen, and treated. I plan on surgery to change what's in my pants. If I could get a menstrual cycle out of that, I would, and probably go on to have children (because infertility is another perk of transition).
I don't have anything against the sorts of people I'm talking about- I want to be abundantly clear on that. Same with those who say, dont want bottom surgery. My frustration is more with the terminology, because there is a delineation there that I feel is erased. People decry older terms like transsexual as "outdated", but I feel it's much more apt for my experience. I am transitioning to the other sex (or as close as I can). My gender has been constant all the while
