    Any form of gender policing is oppressive and should be ignored. Your therapist is obviously wrong and should not be taken seriously. If you like to behave and talk like most men do then that’s cool, but it should be your own choice and not something your therapist tells you to do. I don’t think the way people call breasts is gendered that way but who knows.

    I sometimes notice that I feel like I need to behave more ‘manly’ to convince others that I’m actually trans but rationally I think that that’s silly. I try to just accept the way I am because I don’t want to conform to this enforced gendered society.


  • Serbian protests had the support of most of the general population. The students faced a lot of state violence as well, but this only made their case stronger and caused more people to join. Protests like these for the most part are a numbers game. The more people join in the safer it is. The US population has been pacified and I see the only way to improve conditions is to agitate and depacify.

    So you’re right that the condition in the US are different and that a different approach might be needed, but sitting by and doing nothing will for sure not help. I’m really tired of people on lemmy throwing their hands in the air while less fortunate people are being harmed by your government’s actions. It pains me to see how little people actually care if it turns out they need to actually make sacrifices to change anything.













  • I never really liked this comic or the concept of sealioning because in this comic the ‘annoying’ entity is someone who is being outcasted based on their identity. In a comparison between bigots and marginalised groups, a marginalised group has more in common with the sea lion than the humans, and the bigots have more in common with the humans.

    The comic is more logically read as bigots that are annoyed that the minority they’re discriminating against is defending their rights to exist.


  • I think it’s good for 196 to leave because at least to me it’s clear that your values don’t fully align with this instance and if you leave then the trans community posts don’t get drowned out anymore by 196 posts. Hopefully 196 leaving will boost the trans meme communities here a bit more (and maybe there’ll be more interest in a new meme/generalposting community).


  • Please, you did paint ada in a bad way and if that was truly unintentional then you should edit that comment and remove the unfounded accusations. I very much agree with ada’s moderating actions to make sure blahaj.zone is a safe space for trans people that don’t wish to constantly battle with transphobic or misogynistic dog whistles.
