Oh great ERA goes full TERF after I get banned just my luck.
Mate, you should start fucking a mod, that's the proper way to be invincible on Era. I heard you had one in your contact, should be izzy.
The PS4 Pro is probably just too weak to justify them wasting extra development time on enhancements given how other games have either been 1080p or at best 1440p on the Pro.
Sure lol
Amazing.
Total bs.
Cool!
Edit: Outer Worlds/Outer Wilds confusion strikes again!LMAO. You have an incredible talent at always finding the interpretation that portrays Xbox positively and Sony negatively, like your recent suggestion that vague, boilerplate PR somehow indicated that AMD-MS collaboration had resulted in significant silicon customization in new Surface products (therefore indicating the Scarlett APU will have greater customization than PS5's APU).
Yes it's so weak that other games when enhanced suddenly stop working. What's with these comical post?
Nine Consonants / Two Words (IIRC) can be a bit of a dunce and I've linked some of his messages here in the past but overall the guy never struck me as hateful as far as I can remember. It's more "well meaning in general but laborious & tedious" just like in that thread and really in a dogpile it's down to flight and creating an history of histories of flights or fight with walls of polite text hoping to prove good faith.

Quote from: LooseGoose717Nothing wrong with wanting to be in the middle, but to me it seems like you still lean feminine... Just my two cents.Being a transgender tomboy is almost nonbinary-ish. Maybe. I dunno.Do what makes you comfortable, define yourself, not how society views things.thankeee <3I do visually want to lean feminine/gyne side of androgynous, but i was always pretty fine being a cis man, even when i started going out in public in a gender-nonconforming fashionFunny you bring up trans tomboy, because when this happened I was pondering if i could be a butch lesbian and a straight femboy...simultaneously...? Liiike...if I was born female or idenified as a woman, I'd still choose to be more androgynous but maybe more boyish or tougher than I do now as a man. Like I'd be destined to be gender-nonconforming no matter how I was born.(Someone jokingly notated me as a lesboy, which i sorta unironically love bwahaha)And I finally questioned if i'd be comfortable in a female body as well when i visualized myself with boobs...and then maybe padded a bra and didn't hate the look and feel ;>.>Like, this wasn't a lifelong desire or something I knew i might want, I just tried and experimented and didn't know this stuff might apply to me until now.My thoughts are jumble and fluid but i hope they make sense to someone XD

Hey thanks LooseGoose for sending me that rotten transphobic PM and congrats on the permaban. Bai betch
So they made their account just to do that? What a loser. Sorry you had to go though that.
I'm fine but if she had sent that to someone more sensitive about their identity then holy fuck i would not want anyone to get hurt
Oof, good to know the transphobes still exist here. Gotta be careful :/
Good riddance to bad rubbish. Glad you're alright, How About No.
What the heck, it's baffling that a regular in this thread would send a transphobic PM. Some people...
Wow what the fuck. That LooseGoose thing is just... yikes. Sorry you had to go through that, How About No.
And it’s not that having those experiences, education and knowledge is bad. The issue come when issue brought up by Asian-Era are dismissed out of hand because “Your use of Asian language is grammatically incorrect.” Or “When I was teaching English in...” And “I’ve been with my partner and my partner says...”. I fee like it’s not necessary to explain how incredibly disconcerting it is to be told that our experiences and issues only matter when validated though a non-Asian lens.
Quote from: KirblarWhen specifically describing TERFers. Are people racist when they bring up that racist people say "I have a black friend?"Kiblar, are you trans? I ask this because if you’re not, you are in a thread where multiple trans men and trans women have said why they find her words offensive. It is no longer your place to tell these trans men and trans women what they should be offended by. If they find it offensive, then it is offensive, and hand-wringing till the cows come home makes you come off as trying to overturn the multiple voices in here, which if you are not trans is very insulting.I am not trans, just as I am not black nor Muslim. I cannot ever truly know their troubles or experiences. What I can do is that when they say something, they speak from experience and defer to them. I do not insist that I am right and triple down trying to prove to the victims that they are wrong.

QuoteWouldn't be a poliera thread if Kirblar didn't take the devil's advocate stance.I always thought they were a straight older white man 😅😅

Quote from: KirblarI'm not, I'm gay, but not trans. There is a difference between "I'm offended by this" and "She is a TERF". I'm engaging with the former argument because I didn't really understand it and I can get where some of it is coming from now. The latter aspect is not just "I'm offended", it's actively calling her a TERF based off an interview where at no point she actively expresses that those are her personal views.Imagine dying defending Hillary

QuoteWe can disagree here. It doesn't excuse the person but in the real world of trying to make change it definitely matters. If I knew that one person wasn't even aware the things they were saying was hateful and simply didn't know about the topic at hand, and another person was saying those things out of pure spite, I would undoubtedly have a different approach and interaction with both of those people.We can disagree but as a dude that has to put up with bigots, your opinion doesn't really matter

(Image removed from quote.)don't use the word trans (Image removed from quote.)do use the word trans
Also, "trans woman", please. We aren't separate from the category of 'women'. We're women who have the trait of being trans; you wouldn't call a woman with, say, lupus a "lupuswoman". We're women, not a modified form of women.
We don't transition to a different gender. We adjust our physiology to align with the inherent gender identity we're born with.
Put me firmly in the category of "Hillary, your time in the spotlight is over, please STFU, fade away, and let more progressives come into the spotlight."I'm very fortunate to have learned about gender identity along with my adoptive white Boomer parents approximately 15 years ago when a lesbian friend of mine had an ex who was a trans woman who was actually transitioning to a trans woman at the time and both came to my house quite frequently and both me and my parents always had conversations that were hours long about gender identity and sexual orientation and the challenges that both communities faced at that time 15 years ago. It was out of these conversations that myself and my parents became strong allies of the LGBTQ+ rights movement, and all of us kept up with current events of the LGBTQ+ rights movement, it was, also, because of these conversations that when same-sex marriage came up for a popular vote in Maryland (occurred before the landmark SCOTUS case that made same-sex marriage legal in the entire country), my entire family voted for legalizing same-sex marriage and we made a strong attempt at trying to get our friends to also vote for same-sex marriage.Highly fortunate that both of my Boomer parents had progressive ideologies since childhood in that they participated in the 1960s civil rights movement. They believe that healthcare is a right not a privilege, so much they set up a healthcare clinic that was completely free for patients, they successfully recruited doctors and nurses who also believed that free, high quality healthcare should be completely free to everyone. They also support UBI, everyone being paid a living wage among other progressive ideological ideals.My parents raised me and my two adopted black brothers to treat everyone the same way we would want to be treated, with respect, dignity, kindness, if the people we meet are clearly bigots after talking with them for a few conversations, it's definitely correct to disassociate with them.I'm highly fortunate however to have met in my life, people who are socially progressive and are not conservatives, I feel that is one of the benefits of living in Baltimore, it has such a large group of social progressives and it outweighs any conservatives that lives in Baltimore.
This rising China hate has transformed into me having to constantly spar with people about various subjects. And we're all on the same fucking side!
The way they so adamantly argue that there's absolutely no difference between trans and cis women is so absolutely bonkers to me.

Everyone who knows their own inherent sense of gender understands the concept of gender identity. This applies to most people who have ever lived, both trans and cis.
Trans women and cis women are the same type of women, in that our inherent sense of gender identity is 'woman'.The adjectives that describe our assigned sex at birth don't put us into separate categories of women. Our genitals don't define our gender. Trans and cis women are both in the same category, simply because we identify as women.
Quote from: benjipwns on October 15, 2019, 07:49:02 PMName one difference that's not transphobic.In a cis-isomer the functional groups lie on the same side of the primary bonded carbons, whereas in a trans-isomer they lie on opposite sides.
Name one difference that's not transphobic.
Quote from: Mr-JokerThis why I get annoyed when people kept saying that things would had been better if Hillary had won instead of Trump, when she's just as bad. I mean the fact that she compared her staying with her husband after his affair as the same as raising a transgender child.yeah sure the real threat is someone only mildly and passively transphobic who wouldn't really touch our situation when in power as opposed to someone who's already legislating us out of existance actively and is going to continue to do so but doesn't really get flak from centrists like you because it's expected of them and thus "normal"y'all don't fuckin' know shit and your viewpoints hurt trans causes through some false equivalence bullshit just because you care more about Hillary Clinton than you do transphobia. fuck off

Quote from: Mr-JokerI am not a centrists and I apologise for my badly worded post and after reflection I had removed it.People who don't understand who the real enemies are when it comes to people in power enacting transphobia are centrists to me. Though a better term might be cosplay leftists. They're certianly not allies, that's for sure. "Badly worded" doesn't exactly count as a retraction of the core intent of the post either, it's just a vague assertion that "That's not what I meant" when there are few other things one could mean with what you typed. A simple "I was wrong" would serve you better here.And yes, I sound mean right now. But your post speaks to a trend I've been seeing on Era. People here don't actually give as much of a shit about transphobia as they claim to and use it as an excuse to dunk on someone they already disliked. For them, when Republicans do it (the people in power and actively trying to force us out of society), it's normal and to be ignored. And people who act like that? They REPULSE me. There are honestly no fucking words I can say to express how much I feel like I'm being used as a tool by some people here as opposed to being part of someone's causes they're actually fighting for. Republicans get a pass because it's only cool to hate Democrats for transphobia and that just tells me people don't give a shit about transphobia when it's actually important and hard to keep focus on the things that matter in the present.

Trans people being compared to breeds of cat. Always finding new depths in these threads.
It's totally understandable for trans people is react in the way they do when these conversations go in this way. The issue is that it shouldn't get to that point. If there's a specific type of behaviour that avoids bans/warnings but is bad then maybe we as a community should petition for rules to be changed.As well as that, my fellow cis people, we should probably talk way less in these topics and ask questions and listen more.
This is a long overdue discussion topic that hasn't been able to gain any traction. I've been on GAF/Era for about 19 years now, and though I don't post nearly as much as I did, it's something that I continue to see just get worse and worse.My particular beefs tend to be more the second point that TPR makes... namely that I've always been annoyed by discussion on Asian topics that are then priviledge-splained to me how it ACTUALLY is by someone who taught in Korea, is dating or has dated Asians, etc. I'm not going to name names
Tfw you don't take puberty blockers and you end up as a cistake
ahaha they banned that el oh el guy too, for "alt-account"
This board was never progressive. Resetera's just a bunch of milquetoast moderate right role-playing "progressive" because they think its cool.It's sad to see trans people have to defend themselves over Hillary's fanatical cult to this day.
