we are going to be killed anyway so if you can do one thing for yourself you need to live as yourself openly. even if people think it's gross. even if you don't think you pass. even if you don't like your body. we're not safe when we're quiet and keep to ourselves. so get loud.
@PamelaSahl@harryfisherEMTP Jesus would never lie to a person to affirm their delusion, either.
He would of course love them and treat them with compassion, but He would not lie to them or allow them to lie to Him through mental illness.
Love is never demonstrated through lies and falsehoods.
@harryfisherEMTP Maybe the "psychosis" belongs to those who would condemn w/o discernment?
Jesus loved & came to save us all. His ministry was always about care, help, comfort & justice for the disenfranchised, the poor, the hungry, the stranger, the downtrodden.
Love your neighbor🙏🏽
As a paramedic I will not pretend to see spiders when a patient is hallucinating about spiders. I will also not pretend you are a different gender than what you actually are.
It is ethically and morally wrong to play into someone’s psychosis.
Thats just fact.
It’s also wrong to put anyone who has mental problems in positions of authority. Anyone who believes men can be women should be removed from those positions immediately. For everyone’s safety.
God bless
@rushicrypto Businesses don't need those things. They are given those things as incentives to bring their businesses to communities so they will employ people from those communities instead of employing people somewhere else.
This is done at the city, state and federal levels to bring jobs.
If capitalism is so great, why do corporations need so many tax breaks, subsidies, exemptions, grants, legal protections, bailouts, and trade protections?
When citizens need these things, why is it socialism?
@hashjenni The same way people survive without those meds today.
Why do you think you need them now, in an easier world than your ancestors had without them?
Maybe people don't need them so much as want them?
@LiangRhea How many girls and women have been told "just be nice to the him even if you don't like him" before they were later abused by that same man?
Wonderfully clear ruling- that anyone is entitled to hold privately transphobic views, but to repeatedly misgender someone on the basis of those views is 'gratuitous, disrespectful and unnecessary', and did not advance the defense.
A win for basic manners. 👏🏳️⚧️
@LiangRhea "Misgendering" is calling a biological man a woman or a biological woman a man.
Trans people and their allies are misgendering trans people and are demanding everyone else misgender them too.
Trans women are women because 🏳️⚧️ :
• womanhood is more than chromosomes or body parts 🙈
• trans women live and experience life as women 🙋🏻♀️
• major medical organizations recognize trans identities as valid 👩🏻⚕️
• many trans women transition physically, socially and emotionally 💕
• being able to give birth does not define womanhood 👀
• trans women face misogyny, sexism and gender expectations too ☠️
• no one chooses discrimination and hate “for attention” 🥺
Trans women are not pretending to be women …
We ARE women 💅🏻🏳️⚧️✨
I really hate the “no person who works a full-time job should live in poverty” discourse. It should simply be that nobody deserves to live in poverty. We have to let go of the idea that we work in exchange for our worth. People are innately worthy and deserving of the basics.
@nyaraVT Real pride in yourself doesn't require validation or compulsion from others.
Also, calling women "cis" only separates you further from your goal of being seen and accepted as a woman.
How can someone "accept who you are" when you couldn't even do that for yourself?
Realising that the majority of society will never perceive me, a trans woman, like they perceive cis women is incredibly painful.
This was one of the reasons why I never wanted to transition. I'm glad I did it but..
I just wish we didn't have to earn our validity as women.
@OrevaZSN It's funny watching all the people on here complaining about 'others' not doing things to help.
What have each of you done individually to help?
If every person commenting helped a needy family, we wouldn't have to wait for "billionaires" to do anything.
The most annoying thing about being human right now is knowing we already have the intelligence and resources to end world hunger, fight climate change, and cure cancer, but greed and billionaires keep millions suffering instead. The wasted human potential is heartbreaking.
@ShellyMHMpls@MrandMrsDugger@luxemiaa She didn't even ask for acknowledgment of the day until it went unacknowledged.
How many women, when asked what they want for their birthday or mothers day, respond "I don't want anything" when they actually DO? Many.
Perhaps that's what happened here.
Communication is key.
@MrandMrsDugger@luxemiaa I don’t think she needs to remind him it is Mother’s Day. Unless he lives in the basement and never comes out, he should know. She didn’t ask for anything really aside from an acknowledgment of the day. Pretty simple and easy.
I hope my husband had a very uncomfortable day at work today.
I hope all of his female coworkers asked what he did for me for Mother’s Day.
And I hope he had to tell them the truth.
Nothing.
No flowers.
No card.
No breakfast.
No last-minute grocery store bouquet grabbed on the way home.
Nothing at all.
Meanwhile, I am the mother of his children. The same children I carried, delivered, and continue to keep alive on a daily basis.
I didn’t even want anything extravagant. A handwritten card, a cup of coffee, or somebody else loading the dishwasher would have been enough.
Instead, the day came and went like it was a random Tuesday.
The most impressive part is that he genuinely seemed surprised when I was hurt.
So yes, I hope he was standing in the.......
@georgee68@MrandMrsDugger@luxemiaa He didn't ask, she didn't tell. But she expects him to just intrinsically "know" and do.
She obviously communicates more with strangers online than with her own husband.
Keeping score isn't love, it's a game to be "won" or more likely "lost", as illustrated by the OP.
@MrandMrsDugger@luxemiaa The interesting thing about this comment is that you’ve put the entire responsibility on the wife. I’m pretty sure this husband is grown and could have asked his wife what she’d like. He’s a grown man. Act like one. Ask. That simple. Stop blaming her for his laziness.
@plnetofcrepes@luxemiaa Spending your holidays in spite and resentment doesn't seem like a better alternative.
Communication is the key. Men are not mind readers. Tell him what your hopes and expectations are BEFORE the event, it's likely he'll do everything he can to make you happy.
@luxemiaa Not cool. If it were me I would not take that shit lying down. I would have spent the day doing shit for myself and completely ignoring him. When Father's Day rolled around I would take the kids and be gone all day. No arguments, no fights, just fucking brutal payback.
@luxemiaa You should be taking TO your husband about this instead of talking ABOUT him to strangers.
Maybe if you would start talking TO him about your expectations in advance, you wouldn't feel the need to trash him in public for the attention you seek but didn't get.
In 1994 Susan Smith strapped her 3 year old and 14 month old kids into their car seats and rolled them into a lake in Union County, South Carolina, to drown. I watched in horror when the van was pulled from the lake and the 3 year old was holding the hand of the 14 month old. My oldest was 4 and my youngest was 2. I grabbed them and squeezed them hard and cried.
It was later revealed that she did this because a man she was having an affair with wanted to end the affair and stated the reason was, he did not want kids thinking this would end it.
If you advocate for abortion, you can make no moral judgment on her or say that this was wrong, because she made the choice that was right for her so that she could have the life that she wanted and the kids had become a hindrance and inconvenience.
@thewinterdollx If trans women were actually women, they'd just be called women.
But they aren't women, they're men attempting to live like women.
Feel l free to live, dress and act like a woman all you want, but you will never actually be one and no one should be forced to date you.
Don’t start with the whole “I’m sorry I’m not into trans women because I’m straight” shit, trans women are women and if you are out right saying you’re not gonna date us soley for being trans then you’re simply a close minded bigot
@RealLiveAxel@Kekius_Sage Because humans chose self and sin over God, breaking the perfect paradise created for us, separating ourselves from God and His perfection.
Had any human creature not chosen to sin, there would be no need for Christ and we would still be perfect beings in a perfect garden.
@rickymontero@BenceTt33734272@Kekius_Sage May wasn't sinless, she was blessed. She needed the Savior too. If she were sinless, then she could have saved herself or could have been the perfect sacrifice instead of Jesus.
Without Christ, she would not be alive in heaven.
There has only been one sinless being, Jesus.
