I’ve been called “a giant faggot” but I’m medium at most. ♥️
Being trans myself, I will gladly tell you no one can change their biological sex yet
This is wrong.
“Sex” is determined by myriad inter-related physical and chemical factors which are absolutely capable of changing.
The view you are adding whatever credence being trans gives you to the discussion not only is incorrect it is adopted and propagated to back-justify oppression.
Do not do that.
A woman who was assigned female at birth and later lost her uterus to cancer wouldn’t stop being referred to as “female, late 40s” when her chart is being filled out by EMTs. The distinction you are attempting to hold up is meaningless to how “sex” gets used socially and epidemiologically.
people hate Facebook. Or Meta.
I agree; people rightly hate facebook and meta
I never said that people should use Threads to join the Fediverse. I said that people who already use Threads can be more easily convinced to join this place.
How will you convince them if they can get everything the fediverse offers without leaving Threads?
I’m happy for you, or sorry that happened.
You are infinitely safer interacting with a Threads user here than by actually using Threads itself.
You should not be interacting with Threads. No one should be, and you should not legitimize it’s use.
You will not convince people to leave threads by letting them stay on threads and still talk to you.
Marx’s Das Kapital for beginners
Are you going to tell me “Beowulf For Dummies” is the same text as Bēowulf?
No. I sent you a commentary. I doubt you could handle Das Kapital.
that’s why you have to get as many people here before the last e phase ;)
You are arguing for drinking gasoline before the spark comes rather than setting out a sign banning flammable liquids.
You cannot out Meta Meta or use their desire to hurt you against them. You can only oppose them with hard walls and hard lines.
I dislike Facebook, so that’s why I am here. But if the only way to stay in touch with people I know irl is on Threads, so be it.
Do you see how they are already using their size to control and negatively impact the fediverse? The very fact you are arguing that.
If you know them IRL, you can tell them IRL to get off of facebook.
If they won’t well, either keep talking to them IRL or reexamine who your friends are.
“perfection is the enemy of progress”, right?
Isn’t there a difference between people starving when there isn’t enough food and having more than enough food you allow to rot so a small percentage of people can live as kings?
You get how that is different, right?
How many people dying while there are resources to prevent their dying is too many?
Are unhoused people an acceptable sacrifice to Mammon in your view?
it doesn’t make any sense whatsoever.
I could forward you some reading if you’d like to be less ignorant, though I have my doubts you desire to be.
You almost sound like an AI bot, am I talking with an AI bot?
If you can’t tell it sounds like I’ve passed the Turing, at least.
All you have to do is to tolerate that you can’t just call everyone nazi because they once had dinner with someone that might be a “nazi”
If you sat down and broke bread with someone who argued for killing all the Jews and Queers and you didn’t punch them in the mouth for even thinking that what the fuck do you think that would make you?
You are abetting an act of violence to allow people to try to organize a genocide, and any stage of that organization.
Nazi gets protected by Somebody > Somebody turns Nazi> somebody is protected by someone else> someone else turns nazi and so on.
You’re laying it out wrong.
Nazi gets popped in the mouth > everybody cheers
See how we short-circuited your “spiral”?
How does one connect to users on WhatsApp and Messenger from outside of Meta?
You mail them a fucking letter saying, “Leave meta.”
You call them on the phone and say, “Leave meta.”
You visit them in person and say, “Leave meta.”
Hack into a defunct spy satellite and carve “LEAVE META” in the countryside using its lasers.
People exist outside of meta. They breath, they eat, they shit. Find that pile of meat that exists outside of zuck’s servers and get a message to it.
Shit, how did people communicate before facebook?
It is not “pointless nitpicking”. It is very important holding fast against allowing very determined forces of hate any foothold whatever.
I argue 3 things:
No one “in casual conversation” considers someone “sexless” when they lose their gonads to cancer, nor do you know the “sex” of anyone to whose sex you have referred in going on high-90s percent of cases by your ridiculously narrow definition—I can’t imagine in those cases where you find yourself considering using either term you jam the person with a needle or jerk them off into a cup and bust out a microscope to check motility.
Finally I’m not sure what you hope to gain by your pedantry—they’re never gonna let you into the car.
