Things will be so bad that in 3 years emergency martial law will be enacted until “the situation calms down”.
Just curious, why are you using a 15 year old version of Ubuntu?
What about https://spacebar.chat/ then?
It’s called a Russian victory.
What do you mean? I have nothing to fear if I have nothing to hide!
What do you mean? US and Europe both have nukes. We all know how the fight would go.
The part that becomes transphobic is the insistence that the definitions are “transwoman” and “woman”. A trans woman (note the space) is a type of woman, no one denies that. It’d be like using the term “blondewoman” and insisting that they are different from every other kind of “woman”, and not included in womanhood.
I see, I wasn’t aware of this perspective.
Ada also pretty clearly stated why she didn’t link to the offending content: https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/comment/14101300 in that she didn’t want to start a brigade, which I honestly think is pretty upstanding behaviour on her part.
Not trans specific, and not really related, but I disagree with this view. Brigades are bad, they are the internet version of a street brawl and produce nothing of value. What I dislike is that “stopping brigades” usually also prevents actual discourse.
Let me just ask you (the general you, not the person I’m replying to) what exactly the need for defining trans women as not biologically female actually is?
What is the actual need for defining trans women separately then? Why are certain people so obsessed by this need?
I can only speak for myself: Since forever when someone uses the word “woman” in a conversation it is implicitly understood that they are referring to a cis woman. What rubs me the wrong way is that it feels like someone is forcefully trying to change that implicit meaning to mean “cis woman or trans woman” which would then necessitate referring to a cis woman as a “cis woman” instead of simply a “woman”, which in turn feels like I’m being forced to change the way I speak. I personally don’t think this is the case, but it is what it feels like. To me trans women are women as in, included in womanhood, and when I say the word “woman” in a casual conversation I’m implicitly referring to a cis woman.
Wtf, this isn’t hate. This is someone stating their perspective with no harmful intent. If anything that comment is a great starter to a serious discussion on the topic.
If Ada doesn’t want such content on their instance they have the right to defederade and I fully support their right to it, no matter the reason (it is their instance after all).
I can understand why someone would disagree with that comment, but calling it transphobia or hate speech?
What do you mean downgrade? You literally get access to toilet paper.
Yeah, just have it all be stalls.
Okay you lost me. I have no idea what you’re talking about.
What do you mean by “true law”?
What? Laws are whatever those in power make them. Oppressive vs anti-oppressive is a matter of perspective. Oppressive is what oppresses my side, anti-oppressive is what oppresses the opposing side.
Sure, any society will eventually degrade into the owning class squeezing the working class dry, and society as a whole has short memory leading to cycles of bloody oppression and bloody revolution.
In a society with equally distributed power of violence you wouldn’t have laws, but mere loose agreements. It is the monopoly on violence that gives one the authority to impose laws.
Macs come with a preinstalled OS that is easy for anyone to use. It is an objectively superior user experience.
