How many trans people do you know? Has a trans person gotten mad at you for something?

Charitably, it seems like people who have never met trans people seem to think they're balls of tinder, waiting to explode at any imagined slight. There is a lot of misinformation and propaganda out there and trans people are a punching bag.

Yes, words change a lot, and maybe someone might ask you to use a different word. That's not an attack on you.

Yeah, you might meet someone on a bad day or there could be a misunderstanding, but, in general, treating people with kindness and respect works out pretty well.

I've never heard anyone describe dead skin cells as excrement. I try not to be a prescriptivist, but I'm not sure grey water is a legitimate usage.

I don't understand it either, but using a word that most often means "fecal matter" tends to make things less attractive.

I feel bad for people who grew up with cameras on them every second of their existence. Most of the shit I did in my 20s would ruin someone's life now. I love Gen Z. They're more "square" but, gestures at everything.

Please send pricelist.

Maybe "engaging with someone's physical presentation" was just always a bad idea and you've just recently realized that.

Treating people with kindness and respect mostly works out fine.

Negative. We do not want to make people hesitant to call emergency services when necessary. You can disagree with some guy on the internet, but I'm just parroting literally every body of first responders.

I'm not sure why this was covered by the BBC at all, but it has virtually no information. They were put into an ambulance. Yeah, police were there too...someone had reported a death. It doesn't say they were arrested.

Remember kids, if you do all your drugs, you can't get arrested for possession.

Furry-ness is correlated to hyper specific niche interests is correlated to high paying tech jobs.

Businesses that help people get off are rarely short of customers.

I said "cut a forum by 90%", not "a forum happens to be smaller than another". Ask ChatGPT if you have trouble with words.

If you cut a forum's population by 90% it will die.

This is one of the biggest problems with AI. If it becomes the easiest way to get good answers for most things, it will starve the channels that can answer the things it can't (including everything new).

Can't be arsed.

I'm not sure how to, and it's not something I care about enough to figure out how. I generally think of posting here as more shouting into the void, so I don't care very much to personalize my account.

I use Sync. I may be missing out on the perfectly simple UI that was developed to do this.
