bookchin also kind of has a lot of white eurocentrism going on, like sometimes he makes good points but I can't stand reading him
hexbear is heavily transfem and bans aggressively for misogyny/transphobia. Spending some time there when their recent domain crisis defederated from the rest of Lemmy was actually quite relaxing

America has already constructed such an effective social murder state that you can pretty readily enact a final solution simply by cutting people off from financial supports.
The status quo is the system unpersons and kills you by neglect if you can't make rent. This development is an escalation for sure, but it's just the mask slipping, the senseless cruelty has been there all along.
Be outraged at this, but also please get involved helping people who are uhoused where you live, with money, food, supplies, whatever you can.
response: ::: spoiler spoiler I don't think you've done anything permanent, I did pretty much the same thing for close to two decades. Looking back on photos I looked miserable and barely recognize myself in them still. That said I don't think I'd 'pass' if it was under scrutiny, but the estrogen isn't to blame for that, it's more skill issue on my part.
I feel like if I look in the mirror after all this time and don’t see a cis woman it’s jover
This really shouldn't be the goal, but remember that cis women can have things like PCOS. I see mostly cis women when I go to get electrolysis done for example. If the goal is blending in you probably fit in better than you think, and even cis women can fail to 'pass' with the unrealistic standards at play. :::
for me I couldn't even recognize my face. I hated the shaving so much -both the touching my face and the feeling of stubble on my skin as it grew back I just opted to just let it all grow for years before realizing how much I just wanted it gone. Some portion of that was personal neglect, also just being busy working for years and burying my disphoria under that and supporting my partner. I told myself it wasn't a good time for it and waited way longer than I should have but at least I didn't have to get sectioned.
I tested first by shaving for the first time in years and looking at my face not covered in hair made me start crying from joy right then and there. So I went and spent many, many hours getting electrolysis done because the pain from that is pretty much insignificant compared to how waking up to hairs growing out of my face made me feel.
whataboutism 😎
My parents never got cable TV and we would always mute it reflexively if an ad came up.
was a bit strange when I went to high school and everyone had cable TV, and watched the ads! I still get a visceral reaction to advertising to this day
Thank you, the feeling is mutual! 😊
I agree, I don't particularly care about shitting on Putin or any other world leader, it's the thinly veiled misogyny/whatever at 'enemies' broadly with people gleefully encouraging it which makes me respond negatively
Do you insult everyone you disagree with? if so your chronic internet usage makes perfect sense.
add it to my rap sheet, officer

What can I say, your radius of effect is so wide it's blinding me through the internet 😞
I'm sure you're a great authority to listen to on this, person with a history of misgendering people you disagree with.
and what exactly have I instigated?
It's more of a compost heap compared the actual manure piles out there on the internet and I will have you know that a healthy compost doesn't smell bad, it's more of a pleasant earthy smell. Kind of akin to petrichor
If people are going to talk shit you can bet I'm going to point out when their shit stinks.
I strongly prefer having niches and area with different cultures rather than single large instances too. I just don't think people shitflinging based on peoples instance and broad stereotypes about the instance culture is a helpful behavior for any community. Yet it's extremely common for these type of two minutes hate threads because they're just baiting a response.
