Awoo [she/her]

At this point nothing will stop me having a visceral negative reaction to AI being added to any product after literally every single other implementation in literally every other product has been annoying fucking dogshit. It could be the best thing ever and I’d still react negatively because I never want to hear the god damn word again.

Yeah because you’re from hexbear and I don’t trust you to engage in good faith

Aight I stopped reading right here.

If you don’t think my response was in good faith, I won’t participate. Eat my ass. Don’t waste my fucking time.

You’re a white nationalist, just like the other user. Which completely explains your desire to defend white western countries. You don’t realise it but these are unexamined brainworms that you should absolutely do self-crit over. This emotional reaction you have to leap to the defence of the west and attack any claim that somewhere outside of it is better is at its source white western nationalism. And yes it makes you a lib, especially when it one country is demonstrably committing genocide against us while the other is not yet you still leap to its defence and to attack the other.

Why is it that liberals only source is wikipedia??? Please read other things.

China is expanding clinics for trans people. Notably for trans children, who it built its first clinic for in 2021 and has built a further 8 since.

This alone makes them incomparable to the UK, where the children’s clinics have been institutionally attacked and set back for the last 5 to 10 years. There is an enormous difference between a state actively stepping up their transgender healthcare accessibility vs a state rolling it back.

People claiming China is much better on this than the US and the UK are wrong

Says the person whose entire fucking understanding of the matter was gained from wikipedia 5 seconds before making this comment. Jesus fucking christ.

The UK in particular, most of the transphobia I experience is from institutions and media rather than “on the ground” (though this def. happens too), and the way the government is going with using us as a scapegoat is very concerning. But the - for now - lower amount of control over communications means I got started on DIY HRT pretty simply and pushed my way through the “official” system.

I want you to read this then try to imagine it being written by the terfs destroying our lives at the BBC or Guardian.

China is doing us right. Our countries are not.

but fuck me if the dems aren’t spineless at opposing this stuff or (as can be seen in the op) sometimes support this.

They’re not spineless you naive idiot. They see us as a tool, they don’t give a fuck about us other than for pretending they’re good and wielding as an electoral weapon to say “look trans people will die if you don’t vote for us”. Actually helping us would mean they need to find something else, so they don’t.

false idea that China is communist

China is a socialist state building towards communism. Your inability to understand this is a personal failure to understand it, not a failure of theirs.

Yes there is. And yes you can. The only people that say this absurd fucking bullshit are literally nazis who don’t want to be targeted.

“Hurr hurr you have to block lgbt with the fascists or you have to accept them both” is a fucking stupid thing to say and you should be ashamed of yourself and the general state of your life leading you to say this stupid shit.

censoring

The point isn’t about censorship which for the record here was performed by Disney for the sake of more profit. Not by the state.

their internet

Nothing about this comment string was about the internet. This is a non-sequitur.

you’re a trans person who lives in the UK, BBC doesn’t have trans personalities, and certain US politicians are attacking trans rights? Wow, what an argument.

The point here is that it is demonstrably obvious to trans people living in the US and UK that China is better to us than the US and the UK, one of which is currently performing a genocide against us and the other of which is transphobic on a near daily basis and is expected by the community here to follow in the US’ footsteps if it gets the chance.

Also I’m racist for pointing out authoritarianism from an authoritarian government?

You didn’t say a damn thing about that. You dismissed an argument about China being better about trans people than multiple major western governments. I gave concrete examples of why that is, and only now are you bringing out “muh authoritarianism”, which frankly I don’t give a shit about compared to the ongoing real genocide of trans people the US is doing.

It is painful talking to you morons when you can’t even remember what you fucking said, or be bothered to go back and check it. But yes I am calling you a racist because you clearly have different standards for white countries than you do for non-white ones.

What don’t you understand about it? How has it ever affected you? Can you name a single time it has?

China does not care unless you live within its borders, and even there it only really cares when it is someone of influence, such as the rich capital owners or the celebrities.

I’m trans. No it isn’t.

Claiming that China is actively repressing this while literally employing and front-facing transgender people is absurd. Where are the famous transgender TV personalities employed by the BBC? Britain’s state owned media.

China is visibly trying to improve things for trans people compared to the country I’m currently in (the UK) and your absurdness about it is obviously built on racism because you don’t behave this way about white countries. You only behave this way about non-white countries. Where is your equal criticism? Where is this behaviour when it’s all the white countries that behave this way? You’re american right? Where is it for YOUR country which is currently illegalising trans people, undergoing state sanctioned murder against trans people and having an internal refugee crisis because of it. Where the fuck are the federal protections to prevent this genocide being perpetrated by red states? Non existent. Because democrat support for trans people is performative.

So excuse me but fuck off about criticising China on trans people. You’re a shit.

And that has affected you outside China operating a server based there when?

A bill like this has merit if it’s targeted at real problems, like the sources of fascist growth and propaganda that have existed on the internet for decades.

As per usual the US isn’t interested in going after the fascists though. This will absolutely be used against already marginalised people and the left, by which I mean socialists. There’s a reason it has bipartisan support.

Ceasefire agreement and a return to negotiations would be a start. They had already agreed to a deal when Boris Johnson showed up over a year ago though, and then Ukraine went back on it after his unscheduled visit. My assumption is that this agreement would have preserved Donetsk and Luhansk as either independent countries or as autonomously governed regions of Ukraine, that’s changed now with the law making them part of Russia and I’m not entirely sure whether that’s something Putin even has the power to change without a vote by those respective regions or the State Duma (unsure what mechanism might exist).

Either way there is no military capability to take them back by force as demonstrated by the complete failure of the counteroffensive, Ukraine will either lose them by force with a massive pile of bodies lost on both sides, or not. This is the reality of the situation. I care about avoiding the pile of bodies one way or another.

What the fuck do you not understand? I do not care. It does not matter to me who starts a war when both sides are bourgeoisie. And it does not fucking matter to me who wins them. I will not cheerlead either side of a bourgeoise war. I am not a psychotic nationalist. I am an internationalist.

Fucking trying to remove politics from a war is utterly deranged.

I don’t give a fuck mate. The result of the war is that one group of bourgeoisie exploit people, or another group of bourgeoisie exploit people. Neither outcome is worth any lives to me. No war but class war.

You are a pro war bloodthirsty psychopath willing to expend as many lives as necessary as long as it empowers the particular group of billionaires that you cheerlead for instead of some other group of them.

And it was Ukraine that was shelling Donetsk and Luhansk actually. Don’t make me get the OSCE shelling maps out.

These people are monsters, and the idiot liberals that have happily jumped on their barbarous murder machine are too.

You sent tens of thousands of people to die in a futile meatgrinder while acting like you’re good people “”“helping”“” those you were killing. In reality what was happening was that you didn’t care about what happened to those people as long as it harmed some russians.

The consequences of decades of anti-russian racism all came to a head in this war, with liberals LOVING the opportunity to be openly racist pieces of shit.

All excused by what? Some fucking lines on a map? I don’t give a shit about lines on a map, I care about the tens of thousands of people’s lives wasted on this shit, both ukrainian and russian.
