french people call a grilled cheese with ham in it mr crunchy because some guy was falsely accused of using human meat and he started using the name to make fun of it
"microtransit" solutions are always fascinating because they're clearly made by people who don't ride public transit and don't care about public transit
people who ride transit want reliable stuff that shows up at the same times every day and follows a consistent route you can plan around
people who don't ride transit think everyone wants their own personal taxi
people who hate being on public transit confuse me. are you just that much of a weirdo that you can't stand being in a place where there are strangers? riding a bus is way calmer than driving because ur not actively fighting for your fucking life
@puppygirlhornypost2@transfem.social everyone publicly being pissed off a trump will make any Republican who doesn't want to get steamrolled next election they're up for realize they need to turn on him too to save themselves
oh also, transphobia wasn't as big of a thing in history as right wing ppl want you to think. modern transphobia is a reactionary myth based off putting down a perceived "other". just see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christine_Jorgensen as an actual historical example
@raccoon@hollow.raccoon.quest you are wrong in saying that, yes. because sports are a lot more complicated than single metrics, and elite athletes are - shockingly - not average people.
the purpose of gender segregation in sports is not to protect women, it is to protect men from having to suffer the emotional suffering of losing to a woman. and in sports where physical characteristics like that do matter, like wrestling for example, we already have a solution for that; which is things like weight classes. take the physical characteristic that actually matters and divide people based upon that! easy.
@kim@linfan.moe@raccoon@hollow.raccoon.quest@arcana@fedi.layer02.net and my point is we should abolish the sex-based segregation entirely. allowing everyone to participate equally is what matters; winning is not something anyone should feel entitled to. remember that such systems are created to protect men's egos from realizing a woman is better than them at something
the part that gets me the most about the "fairness in women's sports" stuff is that it assumes women are inherently inferior to men. okay so you're just misogynistic got it, let's move on to something that actually matters
if you ever feel the urge to divide lgbt people up into the "good queers" and the "bad queers" in literally any way for literally anything, you need to kill the cop in your head
@error420@fuzzies.wtf i think this is the first post i've ever seen on here that i can confidently say i am not in the target audience of in any way. great job!
@cwebber@social.coop I'm just specifically tired of a certain genre of smug european who simply thinks anyone who hasn't left the US already either wants Trump to continue, or should be blamed for not leaving sooner, TBH.
some of us are broke, some of us are disabled, some of us would rather fight for as long as we can instead of running at the first sight of discomfort
