I am against animal agriculture for the same reason I am against sexism, racism, ableism, classism and homophobia.

The circumstances of a creatures birth does not dictate what it is “meant for”, every one deserves to live happy, healthily and with dignity, but some simply want to live.

  • telling trans people to vote for our own genocide

    an instance that is supposed to be trans friendly.

    The instance IS trans friendly. The people in the community are protesting a seperate genocide with the few tools available to them. It’s not fair to look past republicans taking active action to yell at others inaction solely because you feel the later should be easy.

    For example, I’m vegan. I feel it should be easier for me to convince trans folk to be vegan since our community is all about bodily autonomy. But it’s unsupringly not, and yelling at them for my perceived hypocrisy is far far less productive than talking to someone who hasn’t been exposed to the concept in a rational logical way.

    Perceiving hypocrisy in others and wishing it was easier to convince other to see as you is common, but it doesn’t change minds. The convincing process is always slow and difficult. Is your time best spent on someone likely to come around to your view anyways? Or is it better spent exposing a naive republican in a media bubble that we are not the stereotype he has been led to believe? Trans genocide is happening, but think strategically, focus on convincing the victimizers, not the victims.

    I understand your frustration and anger, and I’m trying to help you find peace with the fact that others will always disagree with you. But that disagreement does not become a justification to silence others in our own community.


  • The number of far leftist that didn’t vote in some form of protest, is absolutely miniscule compared to the number of Republicans that did vote for Trump.

    You’re mad at the wrong group. These people are not any legitimate threat to Biden electability. I understand the fear, nihilism and anger at the possibility of another Trump term, I’m feeling all that too, but this topic just doesn’t seem like a productive place to put energy. Between the electoral college and gerrymandering, where voting blue quite literally will do nothing. Like myself, I live in a deep blue state. I’m going to vote for Biden, but my girlfriend is not. In partiality, neither of these choices matter because we know for a fact the state is going blue just like it has for decades.

    So a couple hundred people saying they won’t vote, and a percentage of them actually will vote, shouldn’t be something to be worked up about or a community that needs to be banned.

    Idk. You do you. But this just seems like an unhealthy outlet for healthy frustration.



  • Assume people make rational choices. When a president is elected, especially for a 2nd term, then they have little to no incentive to actually listen to the voters. It fucking sucks, but that is how the system works. Election time is literally the only time we can push meaningful change.

    When election day comes, I think people we rationally understand that Trump is a greater danger both to Palastine and to the trans community and vote accordingly.

    If I agree that there is no value in not voting, then I feel you should be able to recognize that there is value in SAYING you are not voting. To me, it’s far more likely that the people in that community know this fact instead of somehow not recognizing the danger of Trump.


  • Maeby: And the worst part is he thinks he’s passing.

    Yes, her motivation was make Steve Holt not interested but fundamentally the joke is that Steve wouldn’t be attracted to trans woman, which is what happens. Which honestly makes the whole joke worse.

    And even if you don’t care about that, Maeby’s motivation doesn’t matter because she still uses transphobia as a way to harass Lindsey behind her back.

    I honestly find the whole thing so upsetting and not even remotely funny.


  • Not once did the pop psychologist disagree with Trump’s rant that the election had been stolen and that drug-crazed, mentally ill criminal migrants were invading the U. S. McGraw agreed with Trump that world leaders respect him; that he created the best U.S. economy in history; that he was the best president for Blacks since Abraham Lincoln; and that he tried to calm down crowds chanting “lock her up” about Hilary Clinton. Instead, he asked how Trump could keep going and why people were so energized against him, since he had done such good things for America? Trump replied that he loved the country, and it was just habit for many people to support Democrats, while others were just evil people.

    This isn’t a surprise. Dr. Phil has always been openly a huge piece of shit that cares more for money than anything else. But dude has his own media personality cult following so of course he had have to do a crossover episode with the felon president.




  • Yeah but batman is literally just as crazy as the villains he fights. Gotham is just glad he has a weird justice obsession instead of a weird clown or scarecrow kink. That’s more interesting than superman just being perfect at everything. I’ve been reading through “Alan Moore in the DC universe” and like, each of the superman stories are just so one note. He is good at everything, until a random mcguffin comes up and then another charcter comes along to pick it off the ground, and then Supes beats up whoever brought the evil space flower to him in the first place.

    I’ll be intrigued to see how Gunn handles him too, but in a life time of reading comics the only superman stories I found interesting was elseworld stuff red son and kingdom come where they treat him as a concept more than a charcter.

    Main universe or any of the movies? Meh.
