  • I don’t like this argument.

    You’re advising

    "not pursuing or discussing what the truth might be, because of political opponents".

    Political opponents who want you un-existing either way, and will use any excuse and lie available to barely mask that hate of theirs.

    Neither those people’s “understanding”, nor their amount of available means to mask their hate, really affects trans people’s freedom.

    The "average Joe" can't be "won over" either, because they don't care. Until something happens, to make them care. Like an a acquaintance or loved one being involved.

    But in the off-chance that they can, (without being personally affected), they will be won over by recognising a truth of the world.

    Victory by “reasonable vibes”, is achieved by reaffirming what’s already in someone else’s head. It’s only a victory if you’re trying to not change something.

    So seek the truth. Don’t appeal to the good nature of the oppressor.

    (tap)

    for more, at least in Jerboa.

    There is no Firefox without people’s desire for privacy. There is no sufficient privacy without people removing the diseased fingerprint of multiple big companies.

    There is no possibility of a big browser surviving, without caving to big companies, in the artificially hostile web created by Google’s monopoly.

    And that last one is fundamentally unfair, beyond any accusation of “Derivative!” anyone can make.








  • I’ve legitimately had these thoughts. Being raised amab and isolated af growing up, finally found people I legitimately trusted and loved, for the first time after I was 24. The emotional shock was large to say the least.

    “Wow, this is what some other people’s every day life is? Truly being able to relax around loving people their whole life? That’s so much bullshit.”

    Less memeable, but hey, that’s what we’ve got 😅
