i think it’s also worth noting that each of the three sexes have variation in traits (e.g. afab people can have naturally high testosterone levels, amab people can sometimes be born with an extra x chromosome, etc.) and it’s really important to distinguish sex from gender like you said
so beautiful to frame your point around a series of art, dani. you truly prove that they can, in fact, all be zingers.
the leftist and liberal discourse on the us election drives me up the wall. you have the liberals attacking leftists for having very valid criticisms of Harris (like Miss Roan) and conflating them with Trump supporters, the 'vote blue no matter who' crowd virtue-ing their signals, leftists attacking other leftists for voting for Harris because of her support of the genocide in Palestine (which are 100% valid but Trump has the same stance on Israel plus all the extra horrors his presidency promises. Harris was the reasonably going to be the only alternative that could have been voted in.), talk of boycotting voting (huh???!!), blaming people who voted for Palestine through Jill Stein for loosing the election (when their votes would not have made any difference)... what did any of this do to stop Trump winning? the internet wastes so much energy on attacking random individuals rather than putting all that energy towards something useful. also, how long is america going to be okay with picking the still very evil lesser of two evils? something's gotta give.
the lack of nuance in general on the internet that plagues even the most inane and easily simplistic discussions drives me up the walls. sometimes it makes me want to live in a cave but i'm scared of bugs so i guess i'll keep doom-scrolling.
THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! you worded this even better and you’re 10000% right—it’s appalling how everyone’s attacking everyone rather than trying to make sense of the actual situation in front of them. instead, everyone’s blinded by perceived slights/plain ignorance and it’s dividing everybody. fearing the state of america to come; especially after seeing who trump’s chosen for his top officials.
