All: What do you miss about the old sub?

Heimdekledi · 2021-07-08T16:40:09+00:00

Not being surrounded by far-right subs is what I miss.

Heimdekledi · 2021-06-17T08:41:03+00:00

Its not creepy because those are our spaces. It is however creepy that people focus so much on us just trying to use our spaces.

Heimdekledi · 2021-06-17T18:15:02+00:00

Sex is a spectrum, there are no female bodies. Also they can’t give consent for something that already belongs to trans women

Heimdekledi · 2021-05-13T04:17:06+00:00

Aw thanks

Heimdekledi · 2021-06-17T18:22:03+00:00

I guess the bigots don’t get to compete then

Heimdekledi · 2021-06-17T18:16:37+00:00

Because we’re women

Heimdekledi · 2021-06-17T08:37:09+00:00

Fantastic. Its a win for fairness and equality

Heimdekledi · 2021-06-07T10:41:08+00:00

A social construct

By their sex spectrum status

XYZ definition

I mean, they’re not inherently anything.

Heimdekledi · 2021-06-17T18:15:17+00:00

Just the bigots

Heimdekledi · 2021-06-17T08:38:48+00:00

Not true. Due to the numbers involves cis women usually beat trans women.

Heimdekledi · 2021-07-09T00:19:31+00:00

Heimdekledi · 2021-07-08T22:03:56+00:00

There are plenty of trans people to talk about without talking about other sub members. And making assumptions about why people think things is just illogical. None of us know enough about each other to know why we think things.

Heimdekledi · 2021-07-08T19:18:41+00:00

No cases before the 1970’s? What? Yes there are, Lili Elbe for one.

Also depression is a purely genetic phenomenon? What?

Heimdekledi · 2021-06-30T01:49:44+00:00

Because it doesn’t matter? Sex is a spectrum and “woman” is an identity.

Heimdekledi · 2021-06-16T22:32:45+00:00

“Homosexual” is from the late 19th century.

Heimdekledi · 2021-06-07T14:53:03+00:00

Nor is there a reason to distinguish between cis women and trans women. Which is why a sex spectrum model works best for describing sex, just as a species spectrum model is better at describing evolutionary states over time than imagining species as objectively distinct entities

Heimdekledi · 2021-05-12T17:06:10+00:00

No, no humans are male or female because its a spectrum. Also the number of limbs on a human being is objectively not a fixed number, so yeah you could describe it as a spectrum.

All sex traits determine an individuals sex spectrum status, not just “primary” ones. The distinction is arbitrary.

Mammalian reproduction following a two gamete pattern does not show that their are only two sexes, because some people who don’t produce gametes. Since those people aren’t sexless, sex is based on anatomy and therefore a spectrum as sexual anatomy occurs in intermediate forms across a whole range of possible sex trait configurations.

It in no way supports such an idea? The issue is oppressive systems of thinking not people posessing certain sex trait configurations

Cis people and their noxious sytsems of oppression are what fuel the tendency for trans people to normalize their appearances in line with cis standards of appearance. I’m sorry, what was that you said about victim blaming? 🙄

Heimdekledi · 2021-05-12T16:08:08+00:00

As a matter of philosophy, I like everyone and admire no one. To quote Aizen, “Admiration is the furthest thing from understanding”

Heimdekledi · 2021-07-08T22:13:44+00:00

Trans men do have penises though. You mean to say that you expect a man that you’re interested in to have a penis of a certain type. Also you don’t have to announce it but remember that if you assume and you’re wrong you shouldn’t get mad at the other person, you should just tell them that it isn’t going to work out and leave.

Reasonable is subjective

Heimdekledi · 2021-06-30T01:37:29+00:00

I mistook the situation

Heimdekledi · 2021-06-30T00:49:28+00:00

How quaint that you think that matters

Heimdekledi · 2021-06-29T18:21:45+00:00

The spa was in the right if the person in question was a woman. Bigotry has no place in the running of a business

Edit: took the story the wrong way

Heimdekledi · 2021-06-16T15:44:29+00:00

Gay and Trans are both western concepts that shouldn’t be applied to ancient indigenous cultures

Heimdekledi · 2021-06-09T04:27:16+00:00

Insults. Reported

Heimdekledi · 2021-06-07T23:39:48+00:00

No it isn’t. Individualized care should be the standard, not assumptions based off of outmoded binary sex models.

Heimdekledi · 2021-06-07T11:15:44+00:00

Not really. Post structuralist philosophies advance many of the ideas of nominalism, and nominalism itself is still an extant position in philosophy.

I’m sorry, I just can’t bring myself to commit to the effort of educating you all on nominalism when it will achieve nothing. It just seems like wasted effort

Heimdekledi · 2021-06-07T10:56:30+00:00

Sounds wasteful of both time and food. Be a planeteer.

Heimdekledi · 2021-06-07T10:55:26+00:00

Nominalist remember? All categories are social constructs, so yeah it tends to feature heavily in my thought processes

I didn’t say anything was inherently different.

The logical implications of nominalism

Heimdekledi · 2021-05-12T16:20:12+00:00

The sex binary is a part of gender. Sex trait combinations actually occur along a spectrum. With no artificial sex binary and the oppressive societies that they breed, people who are born with or desire different sex trait combinations won’t be stigmatized.

Heimdekledi · 2021-07-20T16:28:30+00:00

Autogynephilia is impossible in women, same as autoandrophilia is impossible in men.

Psssh the cis straights talk about “feeling like a woman” or “feeling like a man” in regards to sex all the time. Sounds like gender euphoria in a sexual context to me!

Heimdekledi · 2021-07-08T22:26:34+00:00

Not everyone agrees with the view that trans people are an imitation of their identified sex. If you feel that they are, then the onus is on you to make that opinion and preference known

Heimdekledi · 2021-07-08T21:00:33+00:00

Why not make the rules QT friendly then? Forbid references to other posters as part of arguments, especially as the reason someone thinks something. Maybe appoint an actual QT mod as having a trans GC mod isn’t the same. The sub is called GCdebatesQT not GCdebatesTrans.

Heimdekledi · 2021-06-30T01:37:46+00:00

Correct. I mistook the situation

Heimdekledi · 2021-06-30T01:31:43+00:00

The question was what do you think, and I answered.

Heimdekledi · 2021-06-29T18:31:03+00:00

Hopefully saidit dies soon

Heimdekledi · 2021-06-29T18:23:11+00:00

You have to use the correct pronouns? When did this change?

Heimdekledi · 2021-06-17T18:16:21+00:00

You should not apply modern labels to ancient people

Heimdekledi · 2021-06-07T11:30:08+00:00

Dude can be gender neutral, but plenty of people don’t use it in such a way. I’ll keep in mind that you do.

I didn’t give one word answers, I gave a multi sentence answer. It’s not worthless, I just think that there is a 99% chance that it won’t help based on my prior attempts to do so. And Im depressed and barely get on the sub anymore so it just feels like a pointless exercise. Besides you don’t need me to find out about this stuff if you really cared to.

Heimdekledi · 2021-06-07T11:18:47+00:00

I mean yes? Also way to misgender me when you get frustrated.

Heimdekledi · 2021-06-07T11:16:43+00:00

I mean, it doesn’t make climate change better

Heimdekledi · 2021-06-07T10:51:38+00:00

Why would you toast something that you’re just going to throw away?

Heimdekledi · 2021-06-07T10:34:49+00:00

No they aren’t, the species concept doesn’t hold up a clearly shown by the sorites paradox

Heimdekledi · 2021-06-05T20:29:27+00:00

Neither. Disorders are social constructs

Heimdekledi · 2021-05-13T05:54:26+00:00

You’re not. Trans women are women

Heimdekledi · 2021-05-12T16:47:56+00:00

We aren’t pushing conformity hard. Your side is though by working with right-wingers to further your goals. We are the ones who’ve gotten the supreme court to say that you can’t be fired for being GNC in your appearance.

Can you prove that Mermaid said any such thing?

Heimdekledi · 2021-05-12T16:29:39+00:00

You have no idea what the “Gender Identity movement” is about if you think that we support any sort of gender roles. We are the gnc people, unlike most of Gender Critical with their talk of “female appearances”. Lookin at you /u/loveSloane

Heimdekledi · 2021-05-12T15:41:56+00:00

You do know that there are QT people like myself who would prefer the abolition of gender, yes? QT != pro-gender anymore than being married == pro-marriage.

Heimdekledi · 2021-07-16T21:33:06+00:00

No meat grown in a lab would still be meat even of its artificially created. Artificial just means made by humans

Heimdekledi · 2021-07-09T05:27:30+00:00

All trans people have a gender appropriate cutie mark on their ass .

Heimdekledi · 2021-07-09T03:40:04+00:00

No they don’t. If a sexual partner brings up trying an act that someone doesn’t want to try them they can just say no to trying it.

Heimdekledi · 2021-07-08T23:43:22+00:00

Its a preference for one term over another when both refer to the same things. Semantics

Heimdekledi · 2021-07-08T17:14:56+00:00

I mean if they were true they wouldn’t be called stereotypes

Heimdekledi · 2021-06-30T00:50:08+00:00

Obvious statement is obvious?

Heimdekledi · 2021-06-18T01:46:55+00:00

No I’d apply it to all of the above

Heimdekledi · 2021-06-17T08:33:25+00:00

The term homosexuality is different from same sex attraction.

Heimdekledi · 2021-06-16T00:12:36+00:00

Reddit appears to have a zero tolerance policy. If you comment or post in a reddit sub, you'll get banned immediately.

Not true. I reported someone the other day and they received a warning from the admins

Heimdekledi · 2021-06-07T23:38:27+00:00

I like to think that it helps me avoid drawing generalizations about circumstances and to try to remain humble about the limitations of my human viewpoint. It also influences my religious views as I mostly Identify as a buddhist and agree with the teaching that all things are empty of intrinsic existence and nature.

Heimdekledi · 2021-06-06T16:33:01+00:00

I mean yeah, species are a social construct

Heimdekledi · 2021-05-14T21:59:48+00:00

How is it the epitome of gender to use pronouns and identify labels? Is that the case for cis people who use pronouns and labels as well or just trans people? How is it sexist, misogynistic, male supremacist, colonialist and indicative of male arrogance at it’s height?

Heimdekledi · 2021-05-13T05:38:40+00:00

You do not speak for all disabled people, and I personally find them offensive so don’t apply them to me or my thoughts, thank you.

Heimdekledi · 2021-05-13T05:14:15+00:00

You cannot use an ableist slur like “dumb” or “stupid” without contributing to ableism

Heimdekledi · 2021-05-13T04:35:24+00:00

A gamete must be formed in order for determination of sex based on gamete type to be used.

Heimdekledi · 2021-05-13T03:24:53+00:00

Um better off trans people?

Heimdekledi · 2021-05-12T16:10:16+00:00

It wouldn’t, just as socialism wouldn’t exist in a perfect communist utopia.

Heimdekledi · 2021-04-03T20:07:41+00:00

Given that cis people can be mistaken for trans and vice versa, the whole concept of what constitutes a “cis” or a “trans” appearance is subjective

Heimdekledi · 2021-07-21T18:53:19+00:00

Its an opinion so correct and incorrect don’t enter into it

Heimdekledi · 2021-07-20T16:12:28+00:00

You shouldn’t base your perceptions of GC as a group entirely off of Houseplant

Heimdekledi · 2021-07-09T17:14:34+00:00

It’s not a derogatory term though, and it never has been. It’s only ever been used by trans men to refer to their own bodies. The fact that you banned a term that isn’t even meant for you and is widey used by the trans masc community proves that there is no real intention towards making this place at all acceptable for QT posters. You reign over an echo chamber your highness

Heimdekledi · 2021-07-09T05:48:49+00:00

I mean in such a scenario they would’ve failed as the situations described didn’t involve any wrongdoing, but I’m just saying what the article is saying, I wasn’t there or anything so I can’t confirm what actually happened obviously

Heimdekledi · 2021-07-09T05:18:02+00:00

I mean the evidence is the lack of evidence so it feels like a weird situation?

Heimdekledi · 2021-07-09T03:18:36+00:00

If you state those boundaries in transphobic terms, then yes its transphobic

Heimdekledi · 2021-07-09T03:17:24+00:00

I mean they did mention that a source at the spa said there weren’t any trans people in the spa that day

Heimdekledi · 2021-07-09T01:03:03+00:00

Your sweet

Heimdekledi · 2021-07-09T00:48:03+00:00

Yeah it is. You’re not in charge of denoting what is or is not a penis.

Heimdekledi · 2021-07-09T00:12:23+00:00

Nah your term is representative of your ideology which is inaccurate whereas my term is just what some people prefer to call their own anatomy. Also front hole is a million times better than a word that means “sheath”

Heimdekledi · 2021-07-09T00:09:54+00:00

How about you not use ableist insults?

Because people can’t just change their preferences? I never said they could.

Heimdekledi · 2021-07-08T23:46:00+00:00

But...it’s your name? PhilsopherTentacles

Heimdekledi · 2021-07-08T22:36:52+00:00

Yes your majesty

Heimdekledi · 2021-07-08T22:08:11+00:00

Im saying that bigots operate on appearances as well, and that if you like people with an appearance that people traditionally think is inappropriate for you to date then you will feel the effects of their bigotry regardless of whether it technically comports with the bigots worldview of what’s appropriate on some level.

Heimdekledi · 2021-07-08T21:13:27+00:00

If you recall right before the old sub was banned it became the official position of the sub that trans women not disclosing their trans status was rape by deception and alot of QT members left over that.

Heimdekledi · 2021-07-08T21:07:28+00:00

Why is kissing okay by this logic? That would be sexual assault, no?

Heimdekledi · 2021-07-08T20:54:51+00:00

Both, but in my view sexuality isn’t based on binary sex status, but rather on observable physical traits. No one is attracted to people based on chromosomes for instance, because chromosomes aren’t directly perceivable in everyday life.

Edit: Maybe a biologist with a very niche kink?

Heimdekledi · 2021-06-30T01:29:37+00:00

I wasn’t aware there was a resolution to that discussion. In any case not using male gendered pronouns isn’t QT language, it’s neutral language. Funny how you can’t tell the difference, but I suppose that’s privilege for you

Heimdekledi · 2021-06-29T18:27:10+00:00

Ive contributed to longer form discussions but Im short on energy these days.

Heimdekledi · 2021-06-07T11:39:45+00:00

Thanks

Heimdekledi · 2021-06-07T10:59:15+00:00

They don’t appear to be QT either. Unaffiliated?

Thanks for that.

Heimdekledi · 2021-06-07T10:53:02+00:00

Not even that Im afraid.

Heimdekledi · 2021-06-07T10:35:19+00:00

Yep. Buddhism yo, the self is an illusion

Heimdekledi · 2021-06-07T10:35:08+00:00

Im never never trolling

Heimdekledi · 2021-05-15T08:14:48+00:00

The fact that ova are only produced once in an individuals lifetime still inherently means that they are produced. So again how am I wrong?

Also the commonly held belief that humans are incapable of forming new egg cells after birth is actually an open question:

https://www.theguardian.com/science/2016/oct/07/evidence-suggests-womens-ovaries-can-grow-new-eggs

Heimdekledi · 2021-05-14T21:34:19+00:00

This has nothing to do with stereotypes and I never claimed to be an expert.

Also calling me “male” is both bad form, and stereotyping of people who actually identify as males.

Heimdekledi · 2021-05-13T05:44:15+00:00

Its not reifying gender to use she/her pronouns, to refer to oneself as female/a women, and to say that trans women are women.

You have misunderstood the sex matrix; trans women aren’t women on the sex matrix, because there isn’t a “woman” section on the sex matrix.

Heimdekledi · 2021-05-13T05:33:56+00:00

Disabled people can still be ableist.

An example has already been given for how ideas can hurt people.

Heimdekledi · 2021-05-13T05:25:09+00:00

My appearance is not a statement to me being a woman its just a way that I feel comfortable looking. I don’t want anyone assuming my gender based off of my appearance because then that means that someone else is probably having that same standard used against them to their detriment. I am a gender abolitionist and the only reason that I put an “F” on my drivers license was so that I could better maneuver in this cis supremacist society of yours. I have zero interest in reifying gender norms so don’t accuse me of such.

Heimdekledi
