Cops don't care about road safety. They're playground bullies with guns who get to terrorise the people who actually passed high school, as long as they protect Capital from protests and uprisings, and keep black people beneath white people in the social order by catching slaves for the prisons.
I don't think there's anything cowardly about refusing to support Netanyahu's antisemitic government, except that she wasn't a bit firmer about it.
I think refusing to support an antisemitic government like Israel is brave.
That definitely happened, cops don't care about road safety at all
That's not true, but I wish it was. I wish everyone who tried to argue against saving children's lives was pressured out of it by being called a murderer. Instead, murderers like Robert Galbraith are freely appearing in parliament to argue in favour of this legislation.
And I know you can't tell from the headline, but this new rule against sex ed in schools also prohibits telling children what parts of their body are not okay for an adult to touch. Thanks to this new law, we will have a generation of children who are unable to report sexual abuse. Anyone who is in favour of this law is aiding and abetting pedophiles and getting children raped.
No, that's not true at all. I was pretty clearly nonbinary growing up, but every adult told me that natural puberty was a good thing and there was no way to avoid it. They didn't tell me that puberty blockers were an option. They should have. It would only be 2 years after reaching natural puberty that I realised I was trans. 2 years of puberty blockers might have made a huge difference to my life. I was sure as shit rushed by every adult I knew into transitioning into a man, just because I was born with a penis.
You're a murderer of children.
Personally I think we should be giving kids a lot more support in not transitioning. And by transitioning, I mean transitioning from a girl to a woman or from a boy to a man. If the child isn't 100% certain they want to go through with massive irreversible hormonal changes, they shouldn't. I don't care whether those hormones come from a pill or from a gonad. They can make an informed decision whether to continue with puberty when they're 16-18
Trans people know they should be the other gender and that puberty causes massive permanent changes to their body they are horrified by. They often do not know that everyone else around them’s deepest fantasy isn’t to wake up one day as the other sex.
Can confirm. As a kid, I saw a lot of jokes about how horrible puberty is. I thought everyone felt the same way as me, since they all acted like it.
If I were in Olga's position I'd go create another Natasha account on the same platform and start making videos saying "Hey, Natasha here. I just learned what things are really like in Ukraine and I'm furious about what Russia is doing to innocent civilians. Putin is an evil man. Also my main account has been hacked, please report it so I can get it back."
If Natasha is Olga then Olga is Natasha. Olga probably has a case to take over the accounts, given they're videos of her, and start pushing out antiwar propaganda.
Maybe I like mischief too much
The world's youngest mother was a 5 year old. She got pregnant at 4. Raped by her dad. Sex ed should begin at 4 at the very latest, younger would be better because not every toddler being raped is capable of getting pregnant and those crimes still need to be prevented.
According to the game sales industry, providing a useful service is anticompetitive behaviour, because you might steal customers from the platforms that are screwing everyone.
I'll leave your steaks alone if you leave the cows alone. I'm sure we can all get along without any sort of violence, harsh words, or forcing our preferences onto others.
Actually, cats really are alive and dead at the same time according to the many worlds interpretation. Under classical quantum mechanics, we say that superpositions collapse when observed, and since the cat is an observer of the quantum event (since the cat would die if the atom decayed), then the cat's presence resolves the superposition. Thus, the cat is never in superposition.
However, according to the many worlds interpretation, observation does not collapse superposition. Rather, it simply expands the superposition to include the observer. So the cat, as an observer of the quantum event, really is both alive and dead. And at the moment that you open the box to see whether the cat died, you will also observe the quantum event and become part of the superposition as well. You will both see a dead cat, and see a living cat. But your consciousness only experiences one of these possibilities. Presumably, you have another consciousness in the other possibility observing the cat in the other state. Two separate timelines have been created, which will each progress on their own according to causality. We may also call these timelines worlds or universes, seeing as they're mostly self contained.
It's a self replicating idea. Don't be a definition purist if you don't know shit about etymology.
It's not
Actually, my GP gave me medicine to help my appetite even though I'm clearly obese. I was struggling to finish meals and asked the doctor for help. Doctor checked that I understood the risks, made sure I knew the warning signs of diabetes and what to do about them, and gave me appetite pills. I have had my prescription renewed at various different GPs and none of them ever made an issue of it. Turns out, doctors are actually very supportive and attentive to the patient's individual needs, and it's only assholes on the internet who make a big deal out of weight. Americans' mileage may vary because their healthcare system is three insurance companies in a trench coat.
The question is, how many people are nonbinary like me, and feel pressured to live unhealthy lives because of people like you? If I hadn't transitioned from male to female, then I wouldn't have the socio-political literacy to have this conversation about gender with you. And that's most people. How many people are assigned thin woman at birth, are actually fat woman on the outside, but don't know shit about gender politics because they're not traditionally trans? It could be a few, it could be a lot. But I guarantee the people who are like me are suffering because of the judgement of those who say there's no such thing as Health At Every Size.
Men and women tend to be different sizes, as I'm sure you've noticed. Body size and shape is part of gender. Trans people who are too big or too small to fit their ideal body shape suffer dysphoria. And in cis people, the symptoms of obesity bear an eerie similarity to stress symptoms. Part of the unhealth of obesity for many cis people is gender dysphoria. They have a body shape that doesn't make them happy, it stresses them out. However, not everyone in the world is a man or a woman. There are other genders, and some of those genders have an ideal size that is larger.
You say gender is nothing to cure, but then you say obesity is always a problem. And you say it to the face of an enby who gained weight on purpose and saw a reduction in physical dysphoria as a result. I didn't feel comfortable taking pictures of myself until I was what the BMI scale calls overweight. When I was thin, the face in the mirror didn't look like mine. It looked like some ugly person I'd been told my whole life was me. I've grown happier and more confident, and I have fewer suicidal ideations
And I still pursue physical health at my current weight.
Okay you're still saying someone can't be overweight and healthy, so like I promised, I'm gonna assert that there's no such thing as men's health. Being male will make a man die sooner. We need to give all men estrogen pills immediately and make sure they stick to the regimen. Being male is not okay, it's bad for you and it's driving up insurance costs for the rest of us. It's selfish. Making bad choices out of stubbornness and pride while everyone else pays. That's not okay.
Please note these are not my actual views, I'm just applying anti-HAES logic to other parts of our bodies in the same manner.
Health is relative. Health isn't an absolute boundary between healthy and unhealthy, that's silly. Health is a polydimensional spectrum. If you want to categorise health "objectively", well then seeing as men live shorter than women, we'd be forced to classify maleness as an illness and put every man in the world on estrogen pills. And that's ridiculous. No, health isn't a single standard that's the same for everyone.
Health isn't a point, it's a direction. Like South. South is a direction. I see Americans say all the time that they're from the south. They mean Texas. But I live in Australia. From my point of view, they're from the north. But it's not like they're lying. In terms of America, they're from the south. It's true.
Health is like South. If you've lived your entire life overweight with poor health, then getting healthy can mean a lot of different things. If you start jogging once a week and get healthier, well congratulations, you got healthy. It's relative. It's unreasonable for you to demand somebody in that situation meet the ideal of human health. If you do that, if you belittle their progress and say the best they've done in their life isn't good enough, you'll kill their motivation and ruin what little health they've achieved.
And if you go around saying there's no such thing as health at every size, well then I'll tell you there's no such thing as men's health, because being a man is unhealthy. The two statements are equally ridiculous.
