    denied was implied by comparing musk’s salute to that of the pope waving his arm - but fair, she didn’t outright say it

    still the timing is most definitely not coincidental - but I can see how that can seem that way if you didn’t browse xitter when it happened

    her tweet was made a day after musk’s salute and consequent “funny” nazi puns - alongside posts denying the salute as sincere, therefore enabling nazi normalization

    the issue isn’t if JK is a swastika waving nazi - she most likely isn’t - the issue is she’s siding with fascists because they share the same hateful rhetoric and is willing to defend and normalize their behavior because she sees them as allies and the “woke leftists” as the enemy.

    we couldn’t agree on an illustrator. He wanted Eva Braun, but the sample sketches he showed me were shit.

    If he wanted Eva Braun to be the illustrator why would he show JK his own sketches and not hers? Why even mention Eva at that point?

    Idk but imma head out as I don’t have the energy to dissect a poorly written attempt at a joke by a known nazi apologist…

    I mean Eva Braun was a photographer so not sure why her sketches would have been good? But I guess she was trying to shoehorn hitler being a bad artist but just didn’t know how to tie it in?

    Call be old-fashioned but I prefer my jokes to be funny because they’re clever not because “haha hitler couldn’t draw amirite”










  • So why leave this comment? You yourself identify the social impact of “assigning a label (i.e. how others react to it)” - so for what purpose are you arguing for what labels are to be assigned?

    Can you not just accept that the people impacted by this label (and the scientific community) have recognized that this label is harmful to individuals and not feel the need to chime in?

    Or do you feel your desire for pedantry is more important than the negative impact such a label can have on marginalized groups?

    What’s gained by insisting on potentially harmful labels?

    Even by your own admission, labels have social impact. So why are you choosing to argue for harmful ones?

    EDIT: If you’re actually arguing for better acceptance of people with mental disorders - I would recommend volunteering at a mental health institution or defending people’s right to self-determination.



  • Actually that’s a common misconception - while gender dysphoria is listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) - it’s not actually a mental disorder (similar to how the DSM includes physiological and environmental issues like Insomnia or Social Exclusion) - main reason it’s there is for admin purposes and to facilitate treatment access.

    However, a condition like body dysmorphia (think Anorexia Nervosa) is considered a mental disorder because the issue is the mind incorrectly perceiving the body - therefore it can be treated using psychotherapy which enables the mind to correctly perceive the body and prevent harm.

    People who experience gender dysphoria on the other hand - actually correctly perceive their body (that’s where the distress comes from) so psychotherapy doesn’t work to alleviate this - as you can’t therapy away an accurate perception (think gay conversion therapy)

    Which is why after many decades of research the only treatment that’s been found to work is aligning the body with the mind - as at that point the mind continues perceiving the body correctly but this time it’s congruent with it’s mental model which alleviates the distress.

    Hope this helps :)

    The “r*ping blob” saying “I hope that my sister gets the help she needs to find peace, but this needs to end. For many years, she has relentlessly and falsely attacked me and other members of my family to anyone who will listen” - sounds a lot like denial, deflection and victim blaming - having read her blog all I can see is just someone trying to heal from very real SA trauma and sharing her experience so others know they’re not alone. And suing her abuser for said abuse isn’t a “pursuit of a financial bonanza” but a very real recognition of the trauma she’s been left to deal with while her abuser is praised for his ingenuity and given a “boys will be boys” excuse for r*pe.
