We are all rats on this blessed day

Uhm… sure 😳, here you go: 🪿🪿🪿

Hey sister. These are scary times and I wish you the very best. I’m about to go to bed and I just wanted to share this link with you: https://genderdysphoria.fyi/en

It was very helpful to me when I started out.

I also wanna say that transitioning is whatever you need and want it to be, and that there are no requirements to being trans or a woman. You are exactly who you feel you are and no one gets to tell you what that means to you. Clothes, make-up, voice training, hormones, surgery, etc. While I recommend experimenting in a way that is safe and comfortable to you, I also wish to stress that there’s nothing wrong if you don’t feel you need some of these things.

Realizing that transitioning meant doing the things that relieved my dysphorias and also just the things I want to do was very freeing to me, and so just in case you’ve ever gotten the impression that some things must be done, or that you have to have some dysphoria of some kind to qualify please be aware that this is not the case. This is all both about relieving dysphoria but also about freedom of expression. (Your identity is descriptive not prescriptive is what I’m trying to say. Do whatever you feel like, and then whatever label you use is just how you describe it to others)

I’m sorry about your situation and I wish things were easier. There are many here who have lived through similar things or are in the midst of that sorta thing right now. Hopefully they can offer advice on that. I recommend checking out the blåhaj matrix channel as there are several americans there who you might wanna talk to.

The comic is about the news reframing bad stuff said about trans people to not obviously be about us, and my comment is pointing out that I don’t often see this but rather see news gleefully fuel the anti-trans fire.

Edit: in fact your linked article is a great example. it specifically uses transphobic dogwhistles and uses languages that creates sympathy for the transphobes yelling about people minding their own business.

Edit 2.0: It occurs to me that you maybe thought I didn’t think there was much transphobia being pushed by the news these days, but by “this” I mean what the comic is saying and not what I am saying.

I dunno, most news sites seem pretty good at spreading anti trans propaganda on their own, usually quoting transphobes verbatim and even using their language when not quoting them.

Edit: Perhaps this was more correct some years ago

biological male who identifies as a woman

I hate them so very much

Edit: as in I hate the bbc for using this language

Busy! I’m currently in the middle of a cell biology test thingy that I need to complete to qualify for exams. My legal name and gender has finally changed and as a result lots of things are no longer valid and will need to be renewed with my new details. My mom will be visiting next week also, and I’ll likely be coming out to her then. Too many things :P

Why would you write this

Yeah… :/ Name a more iconic combo than centrism and nazi apologia

I’m sorry but there are plenty of tankies on lemmy. I don’t frequent .world much, and I assume there aren’t a lot there, but more leftist parts of lemmy unfortunately have a very real problem with tankies.

Yeah that’s fine, I meant whitewashing as in denying that lemmy has a tankie problem. I don’t claim you are a tankie or anything like that.

This community does not allow tankies, platforming tankies, or whitewashing tankies. Lemmy has an actual tankie problem given that the actual devs are tankies and their servers are filled with tankies.

The comments in that post were filled with a lot of defense of authoritarianism and as such it was removed because I am very very tired of tankies who absolutely love worming their way into leftist spaces and talk about how all states are auth and about leftist unity while denying genocides, imperialism, defending oppressing workers rights, and other human rights abuses. Can they please stop posting here. The banner literally says fuck tankies.

Edit: Which is to say I removed it because it was clearly not correct as evidenced by the comments in that post. I could have replied or something but there were a lot of comments to deal with.

It’s literally led by a billionaire businessman that markets with make czechia great again hats.

The party’s ideological character is contested by political scientists, though it is widely considered to be populist in nature. After being formed predominantly as an anti-corruption vehicle, the party has at different times been considered centrist, liberal, conservative, right-wing, social democratic[17] or centre-left[18] by different commentators, leading to a further characterisation as a syncretic or catch-all party. Since the 2024 European Parliament election, the party has positioned itself to the right, co-founding Patriots for Europe, a group in the European Parliament that is made up of Eurosceptic parties that primarily adhere to national conservatism and right-wing populism.

From wikipedia.

The czech wikipedia mentions donations from big companies and vague promises. They are for cutting taxes which is a common right wing populist thing. They also do seem to be in favor of investing in infrastructure and such, at least in 2017, but my understanding is they have moved more to the right.

He’s also pro trump which makes him automatically right wing in my eyes.

While in the past the movement has publicly presented as liberal, during recent years[23] it has intensified the national-conservative direction, which also consists in the fact that some of the more liberal members of the movement have gradually abandoned, or also in the fact that the ANO movement has become a member of a European faction composed mainly of conservative parties.[ 24][25][26][27] While in the past the movement supported the adoption of the euro, correspondence, same-sex marriage, ratification of the Istanbul Convention or the Green Deal for Europe, recent years have been rather negative about the topics mentioned.[29][30][31][32] The former European Commissioner Věra Jourová,[33] the Emeritus Mayor of Brno Petr Vokřál[34] and the Emeritus Moravian-Silesian Governor Ivo Vondrák represented the Liberal Wing.[33] 35] Among the more liberal members of the movement are MP Robert Králíček, the Minister of Justice Emeritus Helena Válková, the MP Jana Pastuchová and the mayor of Zlín Jiří Korec,[36] rather conservative positions are held by the MP Aleš Juchelka,[37] MEP Milan Brázdil, the Minister Emeritus of Finance Alena Schillerová[38] and the MP Patrik Nacher. 39]

ANO is a right wing populist party
