I haven't seen the process for joining, but Gander doesn't appeal to me in any way shape or form.

It's a product that I don't want, with features that seem like huge negatives, that promotes itself in a way that it feels like an astroturf investment circle-jerk.

Why Are Canadians Turning Against Gender Diversity?

Reply in thread

Most of these articles exist not because of the trans people, but because other people are trying to control them or actively make their lives worse.

Like, if the results were "Canadians could not care any less if Bob wears make-up or not" there likely wouldn't be an article, and the 0.33% of people would get closer to 0.33% of our attention.

But, "Canadians are becoming more hostile towards trans people, which might be a result of politicians using them as a wedge issue", that's an article. Especially when one of the authors is a professor of gender studies, which makes complete sense that they wrote about the answers of these questions.


This survey had a number of questions, mostly not about trans issues.

Witnessing American Fascism

There is a boxer in the Olympics, who was assigned female at birth, has always female sex organs, was raised as female, and identifies as a woman. Some people are arguing that she shouldn't be considered a woman because she may or may not have XY chromosomes.

Honda's commercials saying they are going to be carbon neutral by 2050. What?

There will for sure be some "Creativity" with their numbers.

"Carbon Neutral" will only apply to the manufacturing of the product, not the life of the product.
It will probably also only apply to the assembly that is done in-house. It might not apply to things like the tires.

It will also probably be done through some bulllshit "carbon credits", which are about as honest and reliable as those "no, our $2 chocolate definitely didn't use any child labour, and the farmers definitely aren't paid slave-wages." badges you find on foods.

Too horny?

The game was much hornier at release. It's been tamed down with the patches.

I've watched dudes in real life be much more forward that than Gale.

I had a friend tell someone "No one at this table is doing anything with your dick tonight. You are wasting your time here, move on" that was finally what got him to work on the next group. I swear she's going to end up being punched in the face by someone.
