surewhynotlem, to maliciouscompliance in Trans men enter Miss Italy contest to protest anti-trans ‘women from birth’ rule

No, there still is. Trans men suffer from all of the same patriarchal oppression that cis men suffer from. The loneliness, the isolation, the expectation that they have no emotion. If you somehow watch trans people TikTok, The men’s biggest complaint is that they now have no friends.

So yes, the patriarchy exists even if gender is a construct. Because one of those constructed genders oppresses the others, and themselves.

In what way? I don’t understand how that pertains to this.

Homophobia is political, yes.

Being gay isn’t political…

I think I’m confused. I’m pretty sure the court case that the supreme Court just ruled on proved the opposite.

This is a bad take. When we, society, allow you to register as a business, we form an agreement. Part of that agreement is that you follow certain rules. We make those rules to better society.

Some rules are things like pay taxes, or don’t sell outdated food. Some rules are there to make sure anyone can shop there, without discussion.

Those rules are important because it’s very possible for a small number of business owners to make a group of people’s lives very difficult, especially out in rural areas where people don’t have a lot of options.

For a concrete example, let’s say Pfizer cures cancer. Do you want them to be able to say they won’t sell to Christians? You can’t just “go elsewhere”. But now this is allowed.

The much more dangerous part of this ruling is that the supreme Court ruled on a case where there was no standing. A lot of people don’t realize that having standing is one of the cornerstones of our legal structure. Now, in theory, any idiot could sue for any dreamed up scenario and have a much better chance of winning in court.

We were playing lego and she destroyed my tower. Then she reprimanded me because I wasn't sad enough. So I spent the next 20 minutes rebuilding/breaking/me fake crying/repeat. It was, apparently, hilarious.
