It’s against secular Christmas, which is a major holiday in America. It’s the difference between nativities, hymns, and a certain Turkish bishop with a penchant for necromancy vs decorated trees, holiday themed pop music by Jewish singers, and a neo odinic figure with flying caribou.
Also yeah they’re mad atheists and other non Christians have a happy time at the holidays.

- Comment on How do you "feel" gender? 5 days ago:
And I’d like to add, my interests are largely somewhat masculine coded. My personality doesn’t feel masculine or feminine, I’m loud, extroverted, and strong but kind. Or as we say in my family: my mother’s daughter. I did have to put in effort as a kid to not get mistreated for being a feminine, and put extra masculinity into my presentation as a teenager.
My everyday clothing is the normal androgynous style of jeans and tshirts, though over the years I’ve gotten less baggy with it. When I want to look nice I prefer a more feminine look or a feminine take on a more masculine look (leather jacket with bold makeup for example)
Ultimately I do think a lot of society’s gendering of everything is kinda stupid, though existing within it I find it easy to fall into it. That said, I can’t imagine a world in which I as myself would maintain a more amab style body if given a choice nor one in which with that choice barred it would not cause me significant distress to the point of hindering my ability to live.
- Comment on How do you "feel" gender? 5 days ago:
I’ll admit two major things here: firstly I was what would have been described in a more medicalized time as profoundly dysphoric. This is not the majority of people now seen as trans. One of the major wins of the trans community in the early 21st century was that dysphoria shouldn’t have to be life ruiningly bad to get to have it addressed. Secondly dysphoria got worse over time and I had other signs earlier including phantom breasts and maladaptive daydreaming of being seen as a girl even in my early teens.
Like, I would’ve probably been able to transition in 1960s America, though I definitely would have had to put more effort in and jump through a lot of hoops including lying about my sexual orientation. But had I been in the silent generation or a boomer I probably would have done it, despite the personal, social, and financial costs.
- Comment on Neanderthals wouldn't be considered a person under U.S law 5 days ago:
Species is a construct meant to impose a binary on a complicated reality. The division between us and Neanderthals was in the grey area. We were able to interbreed, and we did so, but it was absolutely nothing like when two groups of sapiens interact over a long period of time. You can’t separate the Gauls from the Romans in France for example. Racial separation requires heavy effort in homo sapiens, whereas we’re talking a few percentage points of Neanderthal DNA.

I wanted to die until I got tits. Also growing tits sounded like a good way to not want to die, which I hear is a thought process rare in men.

Yeah and it’s not even a stims thing. I’ve seen progressives down Adderall between shots and do coke. But the one meth user I’ve known was a queer republican who tried to lie her way into relationships with people.

Yeah I’m not the person to speak on good Mexican food as an Ohioan who moved to the PNW but you can get pretty decent Mexican food in Columbus. Yeah it’s americanized, but it’s good. And Candado is good for what it is.
