An uncomfortable conversation but one of the bigger reasons black trans women were being killed in big numbers was a lot of them were telling guys after the fact. Or the guys were finding out from others that the person used to be a man.

If you've had sexual contact with somebody and then they tell you they are trans, you kinda have to expect a reaction, Negative or otherwise. I've seen some transwomen online say they don't like to tell guys as they consider themselves a woman. 

But that's hazardous ground to be playing with, especially in states where you can carry guns...

Its like if someone had a STD I would damn well hope they would have the decency to say it beforehand so I can make an informed decision.

Receipts?

I’m sorry but this is something someone should be doing, maybe the classification of rape is a tad extreme, but you gotta be telling people you’re about to have sex with what equipment you were born with

Not only will this get people killed (honestly I think Starmers economic solution is mass death at this point) but a few years back we literally had the case of a women pretending to be a man to sleep with a straight women and that wasn't considered rape. The UK is a fucking joke. Fuck you Wes Streeting

Do they not see how fucking ludicrous this shit sounds when you type it out? Like fuck me…

To hive a real world scenario, if a woman who is trans was at a Christmas party tonight, gets drunk, and ends up having sex with a guy - both parties lost in the moment but consenting - she could be thrown into a male jail and treated as a sex offender if the guy subsequently finds out her past and retrospectively withdraws his ‘consent’ because the woman didn’t tell him she was trans at the time.

and this would be why "withdrawing consent afterward" is an utterly ridiculous idea

regret doesn't mean you were raped, unless you were under the influence of something

You have to really wonder what they even expect to happen. They must be somewhat aware that the person would likely reject them if they told them they are trans or else they'd just tell them. So instead they aim to seal the deal and hope... what to happen? That the sex was good they're now cool with it? Instead the guy will be far more likely to resort to violence to protect his masculinity. These people can go on all day about toxic masculinity and then don't know the first thing about it

Before the election, I thought it would be a sensible place full of blue posters.

Now I think it's going to eventually become the blue MAGA version of Twitter.

So many people posting about trump not going to be president that its really alarming to me. I didn't realize it (maybe didn't want to realize it) that insanity is on both sides. So many people susceptible to conspiracy. It will drive the rational conversation people away and the creatives that also use it.

There's no algorithm outside the Discover tab so where are you seeing that stuff unless you're reading the comments on everything?

Obviously there are scales of lies, but everybody bends the truth a little for intimacy. Be it age, dick size, height, income, dick size, profile photo filters, marital status, etc. People aren’t really thinking with any sort of longevity in mind.

That’s not condoning it. People are strange and desperate and do dumb stuff. We’ve yet to come around to Dolezalism, but you’d be shocked to learn how much of it happens on dating apps. Specifically South Asians pretending to be Latino.

What do you suppose Era hates more: "A.I." or admitting to making a mistake? 

It's the season of giving, so here's both.

No. B-Dubs has touched on this but it would need to be done at the software level to remove them, so up to Xenforo, and they're not going to ban people for using it.

It's not like the Hogwarts Legacy option you toggle with one click in Xenforo, which prevents all discussion of the game and insta-bans anyone who tries to circumvent it.

Resetera very close to getting it on a number of issues recently. Moderation will probably step in to close the thread to make sure the commoners don't wake up.

I'd like to ask Resetera where it stands on these scenarios:

• Taking condom off during sex without the other person's knowledge = rape?
  
• Not getting "enthusiastic consent" but still going along with things because it's easier = rape?
  
• Lying about what you do for a living, your financial situation during a date = rape?
  
• Not disclosing you have an STD = rape? 
  
• Using status and position or offering financial/career opportunities to coerce consent for sex = rape? 
  
• Concealing your biological sex from your partner = rape?

Murdering people to effect political change IS terrorism defined. Why are we shocked by this?

I'm not advocating murder, but isn't this the forum where people talk about destroying capitalism, colonialism and white supremacy? What do you think it's going to take to achieve that? Kind words, neighbourhood pods, activist meetings without tangible actions and helping out in the soup kitchen ain't gonna change shit.

They're upset because they know terrorism is considered bad by everyone else. That's why it only needs to be referred to as accountability culture by opportunity youths. And if anyone calls it anything else we need to have community policing to make sure they find out for fucking around. Not to mention bans from all forums if we want the community to feel safe from rhetorical and stochastic terrorists.

[benji]

 Terrorism is violence for political/ideological goals.

 Terrorism is posting things I don't like.

apparently buried within a lot of these announcements of these companies dropping DEI, they say things like "we remain committed to equity and inclusion" etc. which is an indicator of the new push via BRIDGE, a confusing acronym for "the Gaps within Belonging, Representation, Inclusion, Diversity and Equity"

they know DEI has become a toxic phrase so they're going underground yet again, this time saying "you don't actually have to hire a DEI officer or spend any money, just make these principles part of the DNA of your company's everyday operations, it's bigger than any one person"

https://wearebridge.com/

The BRIDGE mission is to create a cultural shift in companies where DEI principles flow through all facets of an organization, from the C-Suite and marketing through product development, procurement and customer service.

With the variety of programs that BRIDGE offers including proprietary research, storytelling workshops, events and more, we identify, dismantle, and rethink the structures in place that currently contribute to the gap in belonging, representation, inclusion, diversity and equity (BRIDGE is an acronym for these).

Our long term goal, with the help of our founding board members composed of DEI and business leaders, is to create a comprehensive BRIDGE agenda for all companies and to subsequently certify against its implementation and measure its impact.

This is a bit unrelated but I recall reading a while ago that the “turn the other cheek” part isn’t just “passively accept what comes” but that in the original cultural context would be considered more of a challenging action, or a strategic one that one could seek recompense for. Don’t recall the details now though.

Honestly, this makes so much sense. Reading it like that, it's like a classic sociopathic triangulation move if you've ever been in close proximity to a certain type of pathological personality.

"Deliberately let them hurt you, but make it a point to make it visible for certain desired others to see" ala Palpatine to Anakin Skywalker against Mace Windu in Revenge of the Sith. Makes total sense that this would less be about "do not retaliate/always be submissive/compassionate" out of a truly pure love for your fellow man, and more a cynical ploy to engender broader cultural sympathy in order to accrue religious cultural cachet/power. And when questioned, they could always defer to the longstanding traditional assumed interpretation of that line in scripture as a means to defang criticism.

Sounds about right honestly.
