Nope. Cunt as a singular can be a term of affection. Cunt as a plural is only a positive when used with some adjectives like “crazy” or “mad”. Used without an adjective like that, it’s a harsh put down.

It could be an indian runner duck with a short beak

It was pretty huge, but it was part of a larger D&D golden era. Forgotten Realms was also surging at the time, despite having been around for longer.

Novels, computer games, Tanis, Raistlin, Drizzt, there was just a lot of excitement

For me at least, even though it was a niche hobby, it was the first time I felt that might actually change one day.

That sounds like my kind of world

Asking Cheddar to put things on hold with Gouda doesn’t help anything, but you have every right to be hurt, and absolutely need to have that discussion.

The issue isn’t that Cheddar has a new partner and thus you have a new metamour, the issue is that you took things slowly with Swiss due to Cheddar needing time and space to process it, only to then not be given the same consideration or opportunity for discussion from her. And that’s what needs to be talked about and addressed.

Asking her to put things on hold won’t fix the problem of you not being considered or consulted, all it does is turn it in to a petty revenge thing, and create more problems (as you’ve seen).

Give her your blessing to keep things going with Gouda, but also, let her know how much she hurt you when she didn’t give you the same consideration she asked you to give her. If she takes that onboard and treats it seriously, then you’ll get through this. If she is dismissive of that, then the issue is in your relationship with her, not in her relationship with Gouda

your either targeted by the system, or you benefit from it,

And either way, you think about the system in question, but your original post still says that the only people who think about race are racists, ignoring the reality that people targeted by racism have no choice but to think about race. Thinking about race because racist systems target you does not make you racist, and disempowers the targets of racism trying to address the issue. Downplaying that experience is a racist dogwhistle. I need you to edit/clarify that post to include some of the context you’ve provided in your later posts, to make it clear that it’s not a dog whistle, otherwise, I will have to remove the post

All I’m saying is that trans people would still exist in one form or another in a genderless society. The words might be different, and we might conceptualise ourselves and the context we exist in differently, but we would still be here.

To use your wording, I’d still have to have “picked a camp”, because the one I was placed in to by biology was a source of distress, and for many of us, that distress would still exist in some form even in a genderless society

Removing gender from society would resolve much of my dysphoria, but not all of it.

I’d still have struggled with the body I was born with, and I’d still have needed to deal with that reality, even in a genderless society.

To put it another way, I think there would be no dissonance between people wearing frilly dresses and practicing Jiu-Jitsu

This is a huge misunderstanding of trans identity.

Trans people aren’t trans because “dresses” or the like. If we’re able to come out trans and deal with the reality and harassment that brings, then we could also simply have dressed in a way that society doesn’t like, or broke other gender norms, without coming out as trans if that’s all it took, because those things are nearly always easier than coming out as trans.

unfortunately that institutionally racist system is society, and most people don’t fully understand the consequences of their actions, and non participation in society isn’t the answer.

This directly contradicts your first reply, in which you say the only people who care about race are racists. If are part of an institutionally racist system that targets them (which they are), then they are going to think about race, because it impacts every aspect of their life, and saying that it’s only racists that think about it completely erases that reality.

Like saying the only people who think about gender are transphobes and sexists. It’s just blatantly incorrect, and erases the lived experience of many people who are actively targeted by institutional bias against them

The ideal world you’re talking about in your first reply is made actively harder to achieve by denying the reality in which we’re currently living, and it comes across as a racist dogwhistle. The only reason I haven’t removed it is because your later posts make it clear that it isn’t intended that way, but I am going to need you to edit your first post so it doesn’t come across as erasing the experiences of people targeted by racism

I don’t use Google either

You absolutely do not. Implicit and unconscious racial bias is a huge part of the issue

My experience of gender is not purely internal

Aside from the transphobia and crypto shilling, I’m sure they’re great

It’s both. They’re the same trains in Sydney. It’s mostly an overground network with several underground parts in the city centre

There are double decker subway trains in Sydney, Australia

You’d expect any kind of ritualistic practice that widespread to have some sort of historical record related to the practice

Isn’t it kinda pointless though? You can see the hub drive right there in the front wheel, which tells you it’s an electric bike. I don’t understand why you’d hide the battery and thus make it hard to replace/repair instead of just making the battery more aesthetically pleasing, given that you can’t hide the fact its an ebike

They should also ideally be banned from the community

They have ban banned from all blåhaj zone based communities

I have many issues with hexbear, but transphobia is not one of them. They are explicitly and aggressively trans inclusive

This is why this explicitly trans protective instance does not allow downvotes and bans transphobe, even the “just asking questions” type, and the people that excuse it
