  • Kamala lost. The idpol of kinder language is a trashfire and a failure because the assumption that “empathy” is a shared quality among humanity is wrong and “bloodlust” is actually far more common, while complete ignorance and anti-intellectualism and accusations of “overthinking” prevail over both as you can see in the programming.dev techbro below.

    Talking about how language influences views of marginalized or minority groups is useless when most people can barely even read more than a paragraph without bitching because they never developed reading stamina.

    As for those who make these conversations necessary in the first place - they will always use the meanest word they can and all this has done is fed fuel to reactionaries.

    There are far more important real fights to fight, like access to HRT and surgeries for people suffering from gender dysphoria - a crippling disorder, before you metropolitan libs start going on about “trans-femmes” and “masculine gendered language”





  • That’s rough. That said as a trans woman (no idea what a trans-femme is) I don’t see a problem with it in the context of “you guys”.

    I use “dude” as a general exclamation towards my own also-trans gf sometimes even. Really y’all oughta chill on the language policing. If you pass people will treat you like the gender you look like, if you don’t, they won’t really, no matter how much they try, and your main issue is not passing and thus money which can fix that, not other people and their language use.




  • Of course it does, everyone finds reading difficult the first time they do it. Try it again when you’ve had some rest and you may realize that your interpretation isn’t correct or what was meant at all. I just find it weird that people on mastodon would interact with Lemmy, not that they could.

    Your confidence in your ignorance is what’s wrong with the world today. Blocked.


  • Huh? Nah I just find it weird that people on mastodon would interact with Lemmy, not that they could.

    You’re a condescending shitwit for instance either doing a dunning kruger speedrun on reading comprehension or misinterpreting on purpose, probably a 12 year old tiktok child, why would anyone sub to a Lemmy community off mastodon with people like you about? I’m contemplating leaving myself. Blocked.
