I think that your sentiment about fat people is true about 80-90% of the time around the world, but some places literally have food deserts which do not stock healthy options and in other situations even some folks might only be able to afford (financially or executive-functionally) unhealthier options that might either take less time to select or prepare, or cost less money or driving time to procure. I think that’s probably where the downvote is coming from is people who feel unable to escape obesity due to a variety of limiting factors in their day-to-day lives which inhibit them from taking preliminary steps. not to say that going on a walk or taking the extra effort is not within their control, but that some people still struggle with it anyways, sometimes for reasons that seem counterintuitive or like that they should not be a real issue to deal with in practice but wind up being so anyways for some people.

I think it might come down to some kind of internalized power trip of perceived desirability (to other women perhaps, or maybe their parents or something) by women or girls who promote or attach themselves to those types of frameworks. It’s like a toned down version of people obsessing over boob size, penis size, butt size, facial shape, etc. It’s like there’s no end for some people who go down that route of wanting to be perceived of as perfect in all ways at all times to all people.
It does suck how many people fall into those types of frameworks though. To me it has sometimes felt like, to varying degrees, that my drive to make connections, relate to others, procreate, or seek vindication through others are often at odds with themselves, and that valuing someone for their virtues is not always a typical mode of behavior that people are generally taught to recognize the usefulness of or learn to practice in their own relationships

ok fair enough. i’ve come around to seeing that they way Chippy had initially phrased the gripe had come across as not only transphobic but dementophobic, autism-phobic (didn’t learn this word yet), and lolcow(I don’t think I will look this one up tbh)-phobic as well (by the nature of the implications of choosing to include such descriptors in the first place) I’m just sorry that I had come across as so combative while working to improve my language interpretation skills and conflict avoidance strategies for future discussions with people who have perspectives which seem to not be reconciling with each other on their own.
Seriously thank you anyways for taking the time to keep replying even though you feel that for some reason because I have trouble understanding gender identity that would mean that I also assuredly want to “drill baby drill” or enforce the killing of babies or disenfranchisement of mothers at risk of losing their children for medical (or other) complications through the use of the violent rules of backwards laws. I think it might be a bit worthwhile for each of us to continue opening our minds up to new levels of deficiency or ignorance and to continue working with the tools we are capable of accessing and taking ownership of, to help those around us who seem to be explicitly intending or promoting harmful or otherwise shortsighted actions or beliefs which could hold back the development and rebalancing of the systems of nature we depend on throughout our world as well as the internal drives and doubts which shape our subconscious perspectives or intuitions.

real talk though for what its worth I have met a litany of people throughout my life who have “weaponized” their masculinity or femininity by relying on some cliche about either gender to rationalize some behavior, preference, or perspective that they have about themselves or the world which seem to be toxic or have the capacity to be needlessly harmful to others, or to normalize their bad behavior at the expense of others. and it’s worth mentioning that the couple people I have known who identify as trans in my life don’t ever seem to weaponize their trans identity in those types of ways (at least not around me or in ways that I have ever been able to feel imposed upon or threatened by, though reading people’s body language or other subtle cues for signals of different emotions has never been an area that I have excelled in, though I know people who are worse than me at it as well)

I identify as someone who would never weaponize their identity.

Please explain why or how this identifying of transphobia is not directly an attempt to defend Chris, IN THIS CONTEXT, to someone who is autistic. Some people aren’t hardwired for policing language or having their language policed, and I think that you are using your best methods you know, but tone of a written message often comes across in whatever way is most convenient to a given reader, which is what I think might be some source of the problem. Could you format your statement that went along the lines of “don’t mirror transphobic language if you don’t want to appear transphobic” in a way that uses the words “should” and “if” in the same sentence? I find that such a structure often addresses matters of internal opinion without presenting an imposing presence to the conversation.

Lumping in would be saying “all people who defend trans folx have a tendency to defend all trans folx, even if they are horrible indefensible people” such as you have been doing. I saw no such “lumping in”, by either you or chippy in the comments above. they chose to include that descriptor maybe as a subtle way to associate this Chan person with other transitioned people, but I don’t think “lumping in” is the exact words I would think to use in such a statement of (biased, but not universalizing) selection of descriptors

to me it feels like the subtle difference between a representative democracy and a direct democracy. Representative tends to be more common as those in power are more willing to transition to systems in which they could reasonably hope to keep most of their power, whereas I see the crypto selling point being that the end-users would have some voting rights towards the setting of inflationary rates (different mechanisms for adjustment than fiat, I am sure [seriously not an expert on crypto or on what I think involves an understanding of “modern monetary theory”]), versus non-government financial platforms such as bank owners [federal reserve] printing the money in order to effect inflation rates.
