But you don’t know which CRT television.

I keep my valuables in an old CRT television that weighs more than sisyphus’s boulder. No one’s stealing that.

Yeah no kidding. Good reason it has a whole ceremony to prepare people.

I lived with a guy who conducted ceremonies. He’d prepare it in the back yard before going out. So, so tempting to take a sip from the pot, but it would have been pretty disrespectful. I was on conflicting meds so I never asked to go with them.

Killing all those kids when their parents didn’t blood-paint their doors should have been a major red flag. We keep him out of schools for a reason.

Ceremonies, plural? Is there a reason you did it multiple times?

He lives under capitalism just like the rest of us. How do you think people make money?

Have you read the bible? God is an unhinged maniac. He told people to cut their dick skin off, threatened zombies, OK’d slavery, drowned everyone because they were partying too hard, set everyone on fire because they were partying too hard, told women to obey men, tortured his #1 fan for funzies, called Israel a whore who sold herself to big-dicked Egyptians, non-consentually impregnated some guy’s wife, killed the kid, then brought the kid back to life, made a guy eat bread cooked over burning shit for I think a year? Told Adam and Eve to make incest babies and turned us all into incest babies, made an awesome fruit tree no one’s allowed to touch, let the Jews make soulless clay monsters, gave his angels an extra set of wings just to cover their genitals, which I think means angels can fuck.

So yeah. I’m down with bringing God IRL.

Important to note that Donna Rice Hughes, who runs the child safety advocacy group Enough is Enough, has been gunning for Teen Vogue for years, circulating petitions and publicly condemning sex-positive articles. She’s been pressuring Condé Nast to shut down Teen Vogue for at least five years.

Hughes is a major political figure in the US, who rallied and consulted on the digital safety acts to protect children, leading to heavier censorship, moderation, and now ID verification on the internet in some states.

Enough is Enough claims to be secular and non-partisan, but their programs include faith-based initiatives, and Hughes publicly endorsed Trump on the organization’s website.

I think they’re waiting to build up the numbers for a general strike so they can be successful. More information here: https://generalstrikeus.com/

Teen Vogue has been drawing conservative ire for years, and is unfortunately one more casualty in a long firing line of progressive youth publications, especially ones with a liberal view on teen sex education.

These journalists were astoundingly influential to a generation. I hope they end up on another platform so they can continue.

Until then, the well for quality journalism geared toward teens/teen girls is damn near dry, but here are a few (great) dregs:

https://buzzsawmag.org/ - Written, edited and published by students of Ithaca College, in the states. Mostly entertainment and pop culture with some science, politics and teen issues.

https://ourbodiesourselves.org/ - started by feminists in the 1960’s to address the astonishing lack of sexual health education for women. Began as an often-updated print publication, now fully online. Focus is on sexual and reproductive health, includes stories from women around the world. Posts infrequent articles.

https://womensenews.org/ - Independent web publication that reports on stories about women and girls from around the world. Features a “Teen Voices” section.

Or become the first human-snail hybrid.

Oh for fuck’s sake. This is the same way I learned the pope died.

It’s literally on her Wikipedia page.

A general strike is when workers across multiple sectors strike in solidarity, even if they don’t have specific demands for their own employers. Anyone and everyone could go on strike, but if the Alberta general strike happens, it would be organized by the unions first.

I convinced three crown attorneys that Macron did Notré Dame. That says a lot about the Canadian justice system, I just don’t know what.

Fair enough and thank you for being civil. I responded to your claims by giving examples to back up my point, being specific because we’re discussing definitions.

I’m a cis woman and I didn’t change anything. Gender has always been a shifting social construct and our understanding of sex has benefitted from research, as has my own understanding of sex over the years.

Have a good one and I wish you luck. Please do check out pubmed (the earlier link I shared,) it has a lot of fantastic, accessible, peer reviewed research papers.

I can only argue with what you say. Since you used “man” and “male” interchangeably, my comment reflects that.

This is called moving the goalposts, since your original comment in this thread was arguing with someone who said they’d changed genders. Now you seem to agree someone can change genders, so I donno why we’re still arguing.

You said men couldn’t get pregnant, which is false. Then you said males couldn’t get pregnant, which is also false. Now you’re making this extremely specific claim:

No person born a biological male with testies has ever been surgercally/chemically altered (meaning a womb transplant basically) enough to be able to be impregnated and give birth

Which is a lot to unpack, and also incorrect. If we assume a “biological male with testes” is someone with XY chromosomes and gonads, yes, they have given birth. Look up XY Gonadal Dysgenesis, and you’ll find a small percentage of cases where women who are genetically male, occassionally with internal testes, who undergo hormone treatments and IVF to get pregnant. Some don’t have ovaries and have never menstruated.

A person is always born with 1 sex more developed than the other, basically testies or ovaries…

Is an ambiguous statement, and also not true. It really depends on how you define “developed” since sex traits aren’t always obvious in babies and a number of natural factors can drastically change those traits during puberty, even before taking into account medical intervention. Check out Guevadoces for one example.

Why is it so important for you to be right? Shouldn’t it be kind of exciting that this sort of thing can happen?

Low wages and poor labour laws actually make it so big corporations can indirectly profit off social programs:

I’m not offended. I’m disagreeing because your opinion is public.

Unfortunately, you’re still conflating sex with gender. Gender is performative while sex is biological, and neither are dichotomous or fixed. That’s not my opinion, that is the modern, scientific understanding.

You focused on one point in my reply and ignored the rest. You said men don’t get pregnant, but"man" is a gender, not a sex. People taxonomically called men have gotten pregnant, so that’s incorrect.

The paper I linked was about genetic males getting pregnant, to prove that both men and genetic males can get pregnant. I have more peer reviewed research and on changing both sex and gender, if you’re interested.

Are you open reading more on the subject and amending your opinion, or are you more interested in being right and holding onto your views? If it’s the latter, there isn’t a point to this conversation. A conversation which started when you told a trans person they can’t change gender.

First.
