I’m sorry I’m afraid it’s terminal.

Chronic pain sufferers: ‘Are we stupid? Why didn’t we think about that.’

Weird how genetics is left out of this.

Fuck me for having PCOS I guess.

Chronically ill people seeing this meme: ‘Am I a joke to you?’

Let me introduce you to the concept of chronic illness and pain.

Chronically ill people are in the same boat. Doctors won’t believe them because their symptoms cannot be measured. Friends alienate them because they don’t have the spoons to live up to expectations. Family keeps telling them to just think positive thoughts. Everyone tells them they are sick because they aren’t exercising and dieting enough.

All while you are in perpetual pain, nausea, fatigue, and overstimulation from so many new ways you learn your body can suffer.

I wholly agree that beyond just sustainability, the reduction of suffering for animals is in the heart of veganism.

That being said, it’s not the most effective argument to sway us meat eaters. When people think of animal suffering, it brings shame and guilt and makes some people defensive. This is why some people hate vegans, because it’s a reflection of their own inadequacies. They revel at finding proselytizing vegans to pull apart because it lets them tell the world ‘See? This is what all vegans are like. I’m not like that and therefore I am a good person.’

Self-interest is the easiest way to goad people into thinking about veganism without hurting any egos. If you rephrase veganism as a matter of self-preservation and not a moral issue, people are more open to that.

It’s much easier to make the world eat 10% less meat than make 10% of everyone a vegan. Veganism for all isn’t the answer yet, because human incentives don’t work that way. Instead of promoting veganism, it’s much more achievable to ask people to do things like meatless Mondays.

Shame is an unproductive and self-serving vice that doesn’t absolve you of any responsibility to be more well informed before politicizing something you shouldn’t have.

Can we revoke citizenship and deport the other 25%?

It makes sense if you know what metacommentary is.

If you’d stop making hating vegans your entire personality the rest us normal meat eaters wouldn’t have to clarify how we aren’t one of you.

I eat meat and you’re being a twat.

Veganism is a good cause and we can all learn a thing or two about sustainability from them. Stop acting like they’re out here to take your oh-so-precious meat away from you. Eat a vegetable or two so you can get that turd out of your ass.

It wasn’t political until you complained about it being political.

Now it’s political because commentary about whether something is political or not is an inherently political topic.

How about this: your dick size is pretty political for its size. And yeah it’s a political subject, whether you like it or not. Especially saying it isn’t political is a political opinion.

Nobel piss prize.

Some people have medical needs that frequently require water.

People who need to take medications, have bladder issues, hypertension, electrolyte imbalances, migraines, toddlers and babies, and so many more.

You will not able to spot who does or doesn’t because most medical conditions and disabilities are not visible.

CUP SIZE IS RELATIVE TO BAND SIZE.

I need every man here to stop talking about ‘D cups’ for side like it means anything. It sounds as stupid as saying ‘100 moneys is a lot of money’ without stating the currency.

Here is a chart of sister sizes. Every row is the same volume, meaning that a 40A, 36C, and 30E are the same volume, just different shapes.

Now, it is true that it’s harder to buy nicer looking bras for d-cups and above, but that’s because big bra has been pushing for bra conformity for decades and shoving women into a narrow range of sister sizes at sleazy stores like victoria secret so that they don’t have to make a larger variety of sizes. The result is that women who want a bra that fits have to pay a premium, and bras are expensive as is.

Bras are not just clothing, for many women there is a medical need for one due to back pain and other conditions. Yet, the bra industry cares more about the sales volumes of their 36Cs than the fact that half the women wearing them are likely wearing the wrong size.

There’s an unspoken racial element to the removal of gas stoves.

If you need to cook with a wok for 15 minutes or char some peppers, you’re destroying the environment. But if you need to run an electric oven for an hour to bake a pie or casserole and create 10x the carbon footprint, you’re saving the environment.

And no, woks don’t work as well on induction, unless you have those spherical induction stoves that aren’t available outside of China. And an oven broiler is no where as good for charring peppers.

Edit: Love it when people who don’t even own a wok will try to explain your own ethnic cuisine to you, whitewash the kitchen, and then pretend to be concerned about your health when it’s always been about control.

I’m from Hong Kong, which statistically has the longest lifespan in the world. We use gas stoves just fine. Stop pretending that it’s anything other than the lack of universal healthcare that’s killing you.

They aren’t entirely wrong. Liberal schools are enoursging trans kids to come out by teaching them about gender identity and tolerance at a young age, and that’s a good thing.

What maga perceives is that cis kids are being turned into trans kids because they cannot wrap their head around how trans people are born trans, not ‘pushed’ into it. Trans people have been forced to mask as cis passing for so long, that maga will point to the past and talk about how trans people don’t exist, they’re an unnatural product of liberal propaganda.

The other perspective is that kids are kids, and gender identity is spectrum. Not every kid’s gender identity is set in stone, and liberal policies that accept this fluidity is perceived as an agenda that deliberately turns cis kids into trans kids.

Yes, mags are stupid. But not necessarily because they are unintelligent, but because they fundamentally do not understand what being trans is, and are also likely bitter about their own heteronormative expectations that they have to live up to.

It’s a similar phenomenon to how women coming out as autistic face backlash even among liberals, because it does not conform to people’s idea of what an autistic person is like, because decades of research on autism have only focused on boys and men. The same way that a lot of people fundamentally don’t understand autism is an internal experience, maga doesnt understand that being trans is an internal experience too, especially when they’ve been masking their whole lives.

For all intensive purposes, the meaning of words matters less than how we use it. Irregardless of how we decimate it’s meaning, so long as we get the point across there is no need to nip it in the butt. Most people could care less.

The idea that trans people only need trans rights in gender affirming care, legal recognition, non-discrimination in workplaces and housing rentals etc, but not basic human needs like food, housing, general healthcare too is how many liberals have been shirking themselves of social responsibilities by dressing themselves in identity politics.

‘I support trans rights but I draw the line at universal access to food, housing, healthcare, and education’ is a denial of basic needs to trans people too. Trans people should be part of the challenges to society because they deserve access to basic human needs just as much as everyone else.

This privileged CEO thinks what she does is ‘work’ when she never as to work a day in customer service.
