  Why are there so many mastercard ads on lemmy lately?

  Someone needs to go prune the astroturf.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I 🖤 LaTeX⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Weird how this meme format is always ‘man nerd’ and ‘woman normal’.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Imagine any other medical condition where a person’s appearance is drastically altered but not severely detrimental to their health, conditions like massive benign tumors, skin conditions like psoriasis, alopecia, etc

  We wouldn’t question them if they wanted it fixed due to body dysmorphia or dysphoria because as fellow humans we can understand what is like to have a drastic unwanted change to your own body that you did not agree to.

  Remember that puberty too, is a drastic change to ones body. Imagine if you had gone through puberty expecting to be fine, and then you go through the sensory torture of developing features on your body that you do not want. Imagine waking up the next day with the body of the opposite gender, except this is what it’s like every day for the rest of your life. You might personally be okay with this, but for many, the internal experience of having a mismatched brain and biological sex is unbearable.

  It’s because gender presentation is only one component of it, and the other is biochemistry.

  Trans people experience dysphoria partly because their bodies do not produce the amount of sex hormones (progestogens we, androgens, and estrogens) at a ratio that matches what their brain needs. It’s like putting gas into a diesel engine. Their brain expects their body to develop in a certain way, and it does not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Why are we redefining someone else’s gender for them instead of redefining what it means to be a man? Normalize make up and ‘girl clothes’ for men. Normalize looking pretty for men. Regardless if someone declares themselves trans or cis, believe them.

  Woah no need to get Pol-itical about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have a good trip⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t let the patriarchy stop you. Assert your dominance and piss anywhere, anytime, even with your pants on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welcome to petty lane⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  1. The phone is clearly mounted on the dashboard.

  2. It’s not uncommon for people to record their whole trip for social media, not just take to a picture.

  3. This caption could have been pasted over a completely unrelated screenshot of someone else’s video for all we know.

  Don’t touch your phone while driving, but also, don’t believe everything you see on social media.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PSA for those in America⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s always ‘don’t be a karen and call the cops on illegal fire works’ followed by ‘why the fuck did you not call the cops on the illegal fireworks’ after house fires break out.

  I’d like to remind everyone that fireworks are an explosive. Want to know how dangerous fireworks are? Ask ER staff what kind of injuries they see the most on 4th of July.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Geneticists⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Too soon for this meme format.

  For those who don’t know, the woman petting the fox committed suicide a few days ago. She had ran a fox rescue farm and saved 4000 foxes, many of which were rescued from being bred for fur in inhumane conditions.

  She passed away after years of harassment and accusations of abuse for ‘not doing enough’. Redditors were piling on her in a hate sub and that was one of the final nails in the coffin. People criticized her for not hiring more staff to help or expanding her operations.

  This was her life’s work. She was autistic, and funneled every bit of dedication into saving as many as she could. She had a special bond with her foxes and a way of speaking to them that brings out their giggles. Not everyone can do that, and with Mikaela’s passing, her foxes will now have to make it through without her.

  I too, take it as a personal affront that there are grown adults who are not American.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨:-)⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Funny how often childbirth is brought up to describe how much more painful something else is, usually by people who have never given births themselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨THIS always annoys me.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Never donate at the cash register. It’s a tax deduction scam.

  Donate to a real non-profit instead of blood sucking corporations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Caption this.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What a migraine feels like.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They don't get it. They think we are A holes. And they are right⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Average day of being a woman on Lemmy and feeling excluded and alienated.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure what being sexually attractive has to do with specifically being a woman as opposed to being a man.

  I think that severely discounts the internal experiences of what trans people go through and the reasons why they transition.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You mean it gets worse?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Fuck all the adults who say this to kids with less privileged childhoods.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨science never ends⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Good science doesn’t get things wrong. Bad science gets things wrong all the time. No scientist is immune to implicit bias and implicit bias is frequently the cause of bad science.

  eGFR estimation errors in African Americans is a prime example of that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can confirm⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s where I draw the line too. It’s unnatural and people shouldn’t go into bathrooms with 1cm gaps in their doors.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Polar bears⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you see a bear off trail, that’s normal.

  If you see a man off trail, you are being followed.

  How hard is it to understand?

  It’s not about which one women would rather fight, is about which one they would rather encounter when they expect to be alone.

  Also, the worst bears can do is maul you to death on the spot. The worst men can do is rape, torture, and maim you for weeks before killing you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is how we do it⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah yes, systemic biases definitely don’t exist in research because researchers are perfectly indiscriminate human beings and poor research has never led to swaths of the population being hurt or neglected. /s
