DCCC Releases Its First Anti-Trans Ad, Supporting SC Democrat Nancy Lacore

Again, what the fuck are you talking about. Banning trans girls from girl sports teams is banning them from sports, because ‘just play on the boy’s team’ is a non-starter for most everyone. This is like saying gay people could get married when gay marriage was illegal because they could marry someone of the opposite sex: technically true and fucking irrelevant.

Trans girls belong on girls’ teams. You don’t even know that there is a physiological difference between these kids other than their genitals; you ever heard of puberty blockers? Hormone replacement therapy? Those influence your strength and stamina way more than what shape your genitals are.

Is it only if it’s the first number? I was confused why both 1s weren’t written like that, and was wondering if it was a weird way to write a 0 or something (idk if those would be accurate mid-medieval homes, probably not)

Trans girls sometimes minimize the bulge that having a penis causes to be visible through clothing by tucking and securing their penis so that it’s less visible. Some trans girls don’t do this because they find it inconvenient, unpleasant, or just don’t feel the need to do so. Packing is typically done by trans men, it’s when you have a packer to give the appearance of having a penis; it’s usually a soft silicone penis and balls of varying levels of realistic appearance. The joke is that the tuck/don’t tuck trans girls are terrified of the trans girl who wants to make it look like her penis is even bigger.

I’m not sure I would classify anything I wrote as wisdom, but the OP did make me giggle

Cockatoos are very cool! I can’t imagine having to care for one with how needy and long-lived they are, though. And Amazons have so much personality! Earlier this week I was waiting at the bus stop in some light rain, and a pair of Amazons flew in absolutely screaming, then flew in gleeful, screaming circles about a half dozen times before they landed on a nearby tree and screamed some more. We only get rain like 3 months a year here so I think they were just thrilled about it 😁

I choose parrots. Do you have a favorite species? What are your thoughts on the pet trade and hybrids? There are wild parrots where I live (Los Angeles, mostly Amazons) and I always love hearing them, even though it drives other people crazy. A few weeks ago while I was volunteering at the native plant garden a flock of about 40 or so flew over us, screaming their heads off, it was great!

People who blame societal problems on individuals instead of corporations the second they’re asked to help individuals (rule)

No, sorry that was unclear, I mean individuals as in the average person. eg, someone who blames plastic pollution on individuals not choosing plastic-free products instead of plastic producing companies for creating a bunch of single use products that pollute places for centuries. But the title was already too long lol
