  • Pardon me, but I did not understand this sentence at all. Can you please elaborate (or eli5) it?

    Sorry about that! I was basically trying to say that if a trans person tells you their gender, and you then treat them like you would treat a cis person of that gender* (ie, any gendered behaviours that are still in society, you would apply to them - as much as we both want to abolish gender norms), then you’re doing great!

    *things that are still gendered in our society include pronoun usage, calling someone gendered terms like brother, niece, etc, bathroom usage, single gender activities, and so in

    I hope that’s any more clear, if it’s not I apologise!






  • Censoring opinions you disagree with is not the way to go. You’re in the minority on this, so if that did happen, it would be your opinions that were censored, not theirs. I don’t think either should be removed.

    And equating Israel, as bad as it is, to Nazi Germany is absolutely a false comparison and a minimisation of the harm the Nazis caused not just to Jews, but also to gay men, Roma and Sinti people, Polish people, political dissidents, etc.







  • That’s great for academic writings and whatnot, that distinction, but as the common populace’s understanding of private property includes both what you would call private property and personal property, maybe, to avoid misleading people or having them reject your cause as something seeming more extreme than it is, say something like ‘abolish corporate property’ to make it unambiguous to all people, even those who haven’t read Marx, what you mean?
