That makes the assumption that trans athletes consistently outperform cis athletes, which there isn't evidence of. A trans person winning something does not mean all trans people will always have an advantage, which is the assumption conservatives make. What place does a trans person need to place for it to be okay? Are trans people ever allowed to win? Any time a trans person places above any cis person, it's used as evidence of unfairness, even though that makes no sense.

It's just an x frontend that correctly embeds lol

I wouldn't say either. Sex is way more intimate than just hugging. I'd say it's like "making out" but better. It's lots of fun, and I don't care about the societal norms restricting it between romantic partners. Pregnancy isn't a risk for me, and I'm very careful to avoid STDs. I haven't had sex with someone without a recent STD panel, and I use protection when necessary. My fiancee feels the same way, so I have sex with my friends all the time

For context I guess, here's my views on the list you posted, as someone who is very much not religious and dated plenty before finding my fiancee:

• Marriage might be awesome for some, but it's also not for everyone, and there are far too many bad marriages that could've been good casual relationships

• Standards are definitely good to have, but I guarantee mine are very different than the average Catholic

• No shame in being single. Better to be single than in a toxic relationship just for the sake of a relationship.

• I probably couldn't see myself marrying a religious person, but if their beliefs don't infringe on other's rights then I guess they can do them.

• Sex is just sex, cohabitation is convenient, cheaper, and pleasant. I've never been married and I've lived more of my adult life with a roommate or partner than not. I also don't believe sex needs to be confined within the boundaries of a relationship either, and I have sex with people that aren't my fiancee, both with and without her, though that's definitely uncommon and always done with the full consent of all parties.

• Dating could be for finding a future spouse. It could also just be for fun, or for a casual relationship, or a long term relationship with no intent to marry.

• Relatively wide variety in how long people date before marriage, if ever. I never planned on it for years, but I met my fiancee and changed my mind. We dated for a year before getting engaged.

• Normal to date in highschool.

Obviously this is only my perspective. No judgement, to each their own. Other than the views on polyamory (though more accurately, just sex. Open relationship? I don't have a label for it), these opinions seem very common among the average dating population. My sample may be skewed since I'm bisexual and over half my relationships have been gay.

I can confirm this from first hand experience. The doctor's office I was seeing wouldn't answer my very basic questions, almost comically choosing to ignore or deflect me. I called my dad, he asked the same questions, and immediately got answered. I asked them why they wouldn't tell me that and they couldn't explain themselves. They gave me a halfhearted apology and I found a new doctor.

I don't love the take "men dressing feminine is a fetish." Are tomboys a fetish? Just because some people choose to engage in fetish and also are femboys doesn't make it "in and of itself" a fetish. It isn't.

Right. Both I and my fiancee voted against Trump. These tariffs are already making our financial situation untenable, and we were one missed paycheck from flat broke before Trump. Do we deserve to suffer too? Do our community, who also opposed Trump? Do we need to be "educated" about the economic hurt we knew was coming, or the tariffs we knew were a stupid fucking idea? You sound hateful in the same way as the MAGA supporters are. Let those I'm better than burn because I can take it.

Intent does matter, which means if someone continues "adhering to a cultural norm" after being asked to stop, their intent is now malicious. They are willfully disrespectful.

You shouldn't speak on the trans experience if you don't understand it, because you're way off-base. No one should be forced to tolerate the intolerant. If someone calls me something I don't like, I correct them. I'm not ascribing malice, but I am asking to be respected. After that point, if they continue to do it intentionally, they're an asshole and I see no reason to engage with them whatsoever. If your authentic self requires disrespecting others, you're probably not worth engaging with. This is just the paradox of tolerance again.

If you get someone's name wrong, and they correct you, you're an asshole if you continue calling them the wrong name. If you unknowingly call someone a slur, and you continue to use it after being corrected, you're an asshole. The same is true for pronouns, nicknames, adjectives, etc. You don't get to pick and choose what's disrespectful to someone else, and that means you might disagree.

Example: I'm an atheist. I find no issue with cursing god, joking about religion, etc. If a friend of mine told me that they're religious, and that it makes them uncomfortable when I do so, it would be a dick move for me to continue. I don't have to agree with them, but choosing not to respect them because I believe differently makes me an asshole. If that's a line I refuse to respect, then I should remove myself and not be around that person.

This is just victim blaming. Replace "dipshit" with a slur. This is literally you arguing the paradox of tolerance. The post isn't saying to ascribe malice. If someone calls me something I don't like, I ask them not to. I'm not saying they did something wrong. I'm asking politely for them to respect a boundary. If they continue to do it intentionally, they're an asshole. Your boundary can't be "I'm allowed to call you whatever I want." That's intolerant, and there is no reason we should be forced to tolerate the intolerant.

Unless you are a serious believer in the paradox of tolerance, and that you must tolerate everyone regardless of how they treat you in return, there is no way you can actually believe your own argument.

You found the joke
