does it still do the weird scrolling where a single click on the scroll wheel jerks you down the screen instantly, sometimes with zero overlapping content to the previous scroll position? i really wanted to use libre over Google docs but it was impossible to read any document

I haven't had time to read your other replies yet, but I think you ought to know this is the most skin crawlingly creepy thing you could have said, and it's even worse for the fact that you've added it as a completely unprompted footnote to your own post.

the bad news there is that from everything i've read the president has already blown up the economy, it's just that the economy's corpse is floating atop of the bubble. the good news is that day to day, the pres can hardly do anything to make it worse. but the bad news, oh, the bad news...

10. If yes, do you believe her imprisonment was transphobic?

11. If yes, why do you believe that your rhetoric isn't also transphobic?

9. Following on from 8, do you accept that the rhetoric that a non-declaration of transness is deception is the basis for the imprisonment of the actual, real life trans woman at the top of this thread?

8. Do you accept that by suggesting that trans people should always declare transness to all partners to avoid danger, that you are implying that trans people who don't are in some way responsible for ending up in dangerous scenarios?

7. Do you accept that a man may know that a trans person is trans and use the inherent fear of retributive violence in order to coerce a trans person into forms of sex that give both parties deniability about the trans person's transness? e.g. oral sex as a "safe" exit?

6. Do you accept that in a scenario in which a trans person is being asked by their partner if they are trans, and they believe they are at risk and cannot escape the scenario, denial may in fact be the safe option?

TBD Jones ⚧ @horsestaple.bsky.social · 2d

5. Do you accept that in that scenario, telling the other party that you're trans, especially in the highly transphobic society we live in, could place the trans person at great personal risk of assault or murder?

4. If no, do you accept that the situations in which people are most likely to agree to have sex with people they just met that most people are in a scenario in which they are more vulnerable to violence, e.g. outside at night, in a loud or dark club, in a 1 on 1 scenario?

3. Do you believe that transgender individuals should be excluded from having casual sex with people they have just met?

TBD Jones ⚧ @horsestaple.bsky.social · 2d

including lying by omission. so here's some questions for you.

1. Do you encourage all cisgender people to declare to all their sexual partners before sex that they are cisgender?

2. If no, why not?

I'm not stating an opinion, I'm stating a fact, plainly: you are transphobic. your opinion is that trans people need to, in all circumstances, tell their sexual partners that they're trans. they need to do this, allegedly, for their safety, and for the moral position that lying is wrong -

if you think avoiding masculine terms of address for trans women by default is "walking on egg shells", you're seriously telling on yourself.

TBD Jones ⚧ @horsestaple.bsky.social · 2d

I didn't say you did, I said it was the clear end point of your argument. PLEASE exercise your reading comprehension.

Dude is also not a genderless address, whatever you may believe. I'm open in my bio about being transfeminine. Please think about how you address people accusing you of transphobia

TBD Jones ⚧ @horsestaple.bsky.social · 2d

So what is your point? that you should tell your sexual partner for an evidentially false sense of security? for your own sense of moral superiority over those other trannies who are too scared of violence to confide to their sexual partner? gender fluidity isn't erasing your transphobia.

TBD Jones ⚧ @horsestaple.bsky.social · 2d

the criminalisation of lying is the clear end point of what you are arguing for. that you cannot see that is absolutely unbelievable, given that this is LITERALLY what happened??

TBD Jones ⚧ @horsestaple.bsky.social · 2d

not the point but thank you for the reminder you're still here, I always forget your profile pic isn't jigen any more

"I never said anything about the woman" you came into a discussion about an article talking about the woman. contextually, everything you say is in relation to this woman. give your head a wobble and understand what you are ACTUALLY talking about.

TBD Jones ⚧ @horsestaple.bsky.social · 2d

do you not understand how it reads?
the post:
"trans woman sentenced to 20 months in men's prison for not revealing she was trans before performing oral sex"
your reply:
"you should ALWAYS tell people you're having sex with that you're trans no matter what!"

TBD Jones ⚧ @horsestaple.bsky.social · 2d

so, to be clear, you are saying it is her fault that she's arrested, but that she shouldn't have been arrested, and you compare her situation to hers, despite the fact that you are committing a relationship to a one night stand for a woman who wanted to engage in consensual casual sex? okay

I hope you record these disclosure conversations or you're literally just as likely to be convicted, because *surprise*, there was no evidence either way to suggest she didn't disclose except both party's testimonies. but i'm glad you got to voice your approval for this woman's imprisonment.

trust that these shows have genuinely great gaffers who love the craft, I attended a talk by one of the HotD gaffers. but the people who guide the colorist towards the final grade don't give a shit. this is the look they genuinely want, despite it all

I've never interacted with the doll space account, and it has me blocked already. i do follow a lot of accounts that warn about LB, and that fact and this thread is all I can imagine that connects me to doll space. soooo

i don't think they even have to critique his language to boot him. he shouldn't be in the royal society because he simply is NOT a scientist.
