The Mandela effect is rooted in racism just as much as this is.

It really does. Your best hope is that you get "adopted" by a charismatic person and just brought into their circles if you are cool.

If we were in the same city I'd be your friend. :(

Id say go to local events and talk to the people around you. I'm sure there are pro Palestinian rallies somewhere by you. I've met so many cool people just talking to the person standing next to me at a rally or march. Sometimes the main point of a "do nothing" protest is actually be a reason to bring like minded folks together.

I was under the impression zionists made her cry?

I agree with the sentiment in here of don't worry about labels too much. Just try out different stuff and play with it until you find what fits for you.

Personally, I'm a 35 year old trans woman. When I was growing up trans women were only the butt of jokes in shows and movies. I didn't think people actually were trans so I wrote off a lot of my obvious feelings as "everyone feels this." I had a tough time identifying it because as I aged, masculinity didn't feel right but I'm autistic so nothing ever really felt right.

It didn't all click for me until I was watching a trans youtuber's coming out video. I can't find the transcript for it, but the line that just SHOOK me was something along the lines of "I looked in the mirror and I saw myself aging into an old man and I was terrified". I had those feelings before and then the rest of her experience really clicked into place for me and all the egg-y shit I had felt and thought really came into focus. It took a while to actually publicly transition, but in the meantime I would dress in feminine clothes at home to try and find my style. And expressing my gender more just resonated deeply with me and I ended up having to publicly transition.

As an aside, I think the book Whipping Girl really helped me understand my gender better, but that might just be because the author's experiences lined up with mine really well, my cis wife says it really helped with understanding her gender too.

I had someone say it to me verbatim is the only reason I said it 😭😭😭

...I'm the biggest Hillary supporter. It's her turn.

You're right. I'm sorry, I'm sure the work you've done after while being committed to leftist ideals has outweighed all the crimes against humanity you either committed or enabled while you were enlisted. I'm sorry for implying that the data reflects that your personal story is an outlier when it is actually the norm and we have tons of ex military out here doing the work of undoing the harm they caused.

I wasn't saying it was genetic. I think my argument must've been unclear because I'm getting a lot of responses like this. I was saying those survivors set the groundwork for anti communism of today.

Not even Mao or Stalin treated enemy soldiers as harshly as this.

And now the world is run by Nazis. Thank you for pointing out their failures.

People really fell for the "the US army is made of poor people doing what they can to survive" propaganda of the 00s.

US cops too

That's such a good username! So proud of you for transing! I keep getting tagged in femboy posts so I really should do the same thing

Right.

It's equity. Id recommend googling the difference between equity and equality, they have some really important differences.

This is why a lot of pro trans stuff is getting shot down too. There was just a safe-haven bill that got killed in Maine due to death threats. The fact that they won't listen to anything but death threats is bleak af.

I don't agree with libs on this one. More housing doesn't directly relate to more affordable housing. If it was affordable high rises, sure. But the housing we're building is "market rates" and higher and that just doesn't push down prices, it drags prices up.

Housing is an inelastic good and landlords will charge whatever they "can" which is based off other available houses.

Ive been playing a ton of a game called vintage story lately. It's basically super in depth minecraft. It's been really good at keeping my attention. I found a server with some cool trans people on it and not any people openly being bigots and it's been a blast.

Everyone knows a bunch of people who have become realtors over the past few years. My low effort conspiracy theory is that blackstone and other corporations have also bought real estate companies and are pushing for new people in the game so they have fresh eyes and are less likely to see how fucky it is, and they will have that new "hunger" and be encouraged to not look into the sales.
