Because it’s hot

I’m female presenting. I’ve known people who thought I was a cis woman for months, and I don’t keep being nonbinary or trans a secret.

When I read actual cis women’s accounts of misogyny, and also trans women’s accounts, I can’t relate. I don’t get shut down the same way. Somehow, despite others perceiving me as female, I kept the tiny part of gender presentation that tells people to sit down and shut up when I’m talking as if I were a man. I don’t understand what it is, but I still have it the same as before I transitioned.

I would love to know what it is so I can share it, but I can’t tell why people respect me as much as they would respect a man. It’s bewildering.

The Owl House

Luz Noceda travels to the demon realm because she didn’t want to go to summer camp, and she discovers glyph magic because she has a smartphone with a camera. She’s the opposite of born special, she doesn’t even have a magical bile gland in her heart.

And you think every thought in your head only comes from one consciousness? I dunno, that seems way more made up to me. Dreams, intrusive thoughts, autopilot; the idea that you’re only a single person is a lot harder to believe than plurality.

Most plural systems don’t claim to have DID at all. Endogenic plurality is an established concept in the community and it’s valid. The concerns this user raises about Matrix seem to be backed up by strong evidence.

This is an aside not related to the post topic, but I always like seeing systems that use capitalised pronouns around the internet. I think Lemmy used to have one, but I haven’t seen Them in a while

Well we’re not on .ml right now, so I’m fine with arguing

Jumping to the conclusion that if I don’t like you personally, I must hate all leftists. It was mean.

Is that not a bit hypocritical, when you claim to be upset at me for implying you aren’t a Leftist?

Sure it is. We’re both hypocrites. We both know it’s wrong to accuse fellow leftists of not being leftists, and we both did it anyway.

If you don’t want to call that being pro-Dem

I sure don’t. America uses First Past The Post. The mathematics of the FPTP system are better represented by the idea of voting against than voting for. Voting for democrats doesn’t support them, but it opposes Trump. Abstaining is a refusal to oppose Trump. Telling other people not to oppose Trump is supporting Trump. Telling other people to oppose Trump isn’t supporting Democrats.

You’ve had this argument a million times and you never learned anything. That’s why I think you’re a troll and a sealion. Your intention is to waste other people’s time. You like to argue. You like the challenge, the conflict, the thrill. The process is more enjoyable and more important to you than the end result. Changing your mind would take away your ability to engage in the same process, because then you wouldn’t have the advantage of everyone you argue with being banned from .ml communities, giving you a symbolic victory and letting you feel proud that you’re a good debater. You want to dominate your opponent from within the rules of the game. It’s not about the future, it’s about the game. It’s a sport to you.

Okay, fair. I’m fine with having been banned. You should have been banned too.

If you don’t want people to call you a Trump supporter, you should try not calling people liberals when they argue we should vote against Trump. Live by the sword, die by the sword.

I’d be happy to have an argument without trolling, sealioning, and calling people liberals

I wasn’t being pro-dem, and you should give other people the benefit of the doubt. Someone having a problem with your ML talking points doesn’t mean they aren’t a leftist. You and the other .ml regulars pull this shit constantly. I’ve seen y’all do it a hundred times. You are mean and exclusionary to anyone who disagrees with you about the election, and then you cry foul when it’s done back to you, so clearly you know it’s not nice behaviour.

I don’t want to argue, but I do want to get the last word in, and I also want to explain that my reason for not arguing is that I know Cowbee by reputation and I refuse to be sealioned and trolled by him. I’d be very happy to say my piece without any sealioning and trolling, which is what I tried to make happen, but alas, once again he used the old “Why won’t you talk to me :(”, just like my ex does when she’s been drinking.

They’re destroying the parts that keep good people alive first and profiting off the destruction.

Well I think people are bad at reading.

I said I don’t want to argue with you. Quit trying to sealion me into an argument.

I think this meme might spur people to be less likely to vote democrat. If the midterms still exist in a year, I want the Democrats to win them so Trump can’t keep destroying America so quickly.

I don’t like this meme
