Why thank you fractalwalrus :D

I could also add that the one who was clocked as trans and insulted, left her country of origin (Russia) because she felt unsafe there, given the general anti-lgbt atmsophere. So saying she is simply doing it all for attention is callous, and ignorant. In fact I met her once and she is a...

Just because you can't think of the reasons and don't understand these people and their lived experiences doesn't mean that what they're doing is morally wrong or that they're just attention seekers. I have a trans friend. I can see it demands significant bravery to go about your life when you...

This is simply not true.

A trans person inhabits the role by "passing" socially as the desired gender, the "success" of the transition and the relief or fulfillment they feel internally comes when people spontaneously gender them as preferred.

@Black Rose go and see godzillaaaaa

I mostly agree but he is also the atomic bomb ak ! Me toooooooo best film of 2023 hands down (although I haven't seen anatomy of a fall yet and everyone keeps telling me it's brilliant)

Has anyone here seen it ? I dragged my family for my birthday, they had to accept my movie choice and they were all really pissed off I chose a Godzilla movie but they all ended up loving it. I'm going again soon. It just got an Oscar nomination for visual effects too, a first for a Godzilla...

philosophy is just dusty dweebs talking to each other in a room about modal logic, either you're a dusty dweeb and you're welcome to join in the conversation or you're off to the mosque to pray or you can do both it doesn't really matter
