Don't blame me, I voted for the other guy. (Politics General)

@Violet Rose in The Rain  

hold on I’m a bit confused.
 
A trans man is a man in a woman’s body and a trans woman is a woman in man’s body, right? Or did I get it backwards?

@tehwatever  
Trans man born as a woman.  
Trans woman born as a man.

@Commune  

 
When you do a line of coke and come up with Noem

@tehwatever
 
Trans woman: MtF, born male. AMAB
 
Trans man: FtM, born female. AFAB

@tehwatever  
I don’t see it as sexist if I am a woman not wanting to fight a man because it would be extremely unfair and I may end up seriously injured, more then if I fought another woman

@Violet Rose in The Rain  
Ok so I wasnt that off the mark.  
So if a trans man can compete freely with cis men then he’d have to be okay with having slight disadvantage over the average competitor.

@Background Pony #5A29  
Bro. That’s still sexism!  
Sexism is literally basing your judgement on the gender of the other person–
 
If a working mother dont want no 17yo Jerry to care for her 12yo Amy and 8yo Timmy because…reasons, but is okay with 17to Bethany, (all else being equal) it’s STILL sexism, I dont care how justified.
 
And it’s okay.

I’m pretty sure women can beat up a transvestite.

This morning, some guy was bitching because he wanted to pay for something for his buddy, but I told him I need to know what the item is and to scan it, like he was being persecuted for something. He also started making snide remarks about Biden and Liberals, like people are supposed to bend over backwards for him because he supports Trump.
 
Frankly, I’m tired of people who willingly act like walking stereotypes.
 
Also, acting like a whiney, entitled, loud-mouthed shit-talker because your candidate lost the election is not impressive.

@ᏰᎯᎠᎻᎬᎯᏒᎿ  
Actually not. Most women would not win in a fight with a man. Is this not common knowledge?

@Background Pony #7A74  
Who said anything about men?

@ᏰᎯᎠᎻᎬᎯᏒᎿ  
Still technically a man.

@tehwatever  
Sexism is a case where your decisions are based on your prejudice of the other sex. Prejudice implies your logic isn’t based on sound reason. It is a fact that men, on average, are stronger and more physical. Therefore if a woman decides they don’t want to fight a man because of those reasons it isn’t sexism.

Prejudice is just that, you pre-judge.
 
You might think I’m a tough guy but I’m laid back most the time.

@Background Pony #5A29  
If she prejudge a man based on the data gathered from other men then she’s sexist. Unless she did research on the man she gonna fight with, then she’s prejudiced against him. Hence, SEXISM.
 
I am sexist if I said “it is a fact that female get pregnant and male don’t, so I’m never gonna even consider pregnancy leaves for my male employees.” But it’s a fact. But it’s sexist. But it’s okay.
 
The reason I insist on this, is so WE can be very comfortable with the idea that well…we’re sexists. I also insist on it because I don’t want stupid shit like “It’s not sexism because it’s TRUE.”
 
Same shit like “is not racism because islam is not a race”
 
Just own your sexism, man. I’ve come to terms with it. I’m a sexist, I can’t deny.

My point was if a man is legally castrated this would put him at a huge disadvantage in sports.

@ᏰᎯᎠᎻᎬᎯᏒᎿ  
Well it might help if you had used a term which actually meant that, as opposed to a synonym for “crossdresser”.

GOP across several states are planning a number of voting restrictions in light of Trump’s loss.
 
Once again the GOP can’t win by letting people vote, so they continue to double down on preventing people from voting.

@tehwatever  
That’s really watering down what Sexism means to most people. Someone thinking women are shorter than men and someone thinking women belong in the kitchen shouldn’t be in the same category.

@Dustcan
 
Your numbers suck, because the national debt was like $18 trillion when Obama left office and crossed the $20 trillion threshold while Trump was in office. I wouldn’t be surprised if it crosses $30 trillion while Biden is in office, what with the pandemic and all.

@Ebalosus
 
The Treasury Department says the debt by the end of Jan 1017 was a little over $19.9 trillion.
 
The current debt 4 days after the inauguration is a little over $27.8 trillion.
 
So that’s roughly a $7.9 trillion increase, unless my sources are wrong.

Why can’t we just print the money?

@ᏰᎯᎠᎻᎬᎯᏒᎿ
 
It devalues the currency and leads to runaway inflation.

@Ebalosus  
If you are going to compare the deficit between two presidents, you should use the same metric for each.
 
Using the $18 trillion value for Obama (it was actually $19.5 in October of his last year) the correct value for Trump (that is, using the same method for measuring the deficit) is $26.5 trillion from October of 2020.
 
@Dustcan  
Give or take, yes.
