It seems like Lemmy is all about trans women, I'm genuinely curious though why we don't have more trans men content. I'd say it's maybe on the order of 10:1 posts celebrating trans fem vs trans masc (obviously not a scientific calculation).

I don't have a lot of background in a lot of trans spaces so this is coming from a place of ignorance, but do people in the community have any insight as to why it seems to be this way?

Take this one for instance, it specifically says trans women. Why wouldn't this just say trans people, comrades or something like that? Is there a large descrepancy between numbers of trans fem/masc or something?

Edit. I appreciate what people have said below. Together these responses give a textured albeit 10,000 foot answer to my question, which was what I was looking for. Thanks ya'll.

Haha, yes only Russia and Iran are doing this. Good guys wouldn't behave like this...Israel definitely isn't doing the same thing to Gaza.. Was propaganda always this lazy or is this a new development?

Ironic, but not wrong.

Whoopie doing this shit makes me more sad than other dipshit boomers. Growing up she was Guinan, a character on Star Trek TNG. She was unbelievably old and wise and gentle and kind and, honestly, had the best fucking hats. Every time she says something like this, or shat on Bernie, or whatever it is today, it drives home that it's all story telling, and makes it harder to believe in something better.

The word rape doesn't show up in that entire article. Must be some kind of mistake. I wonder why that would happen?

And the US Immediatly stops weapons shipments....the US immediately stops weopons shipments....right?

Radical left 🤣

Does anyone have a link to this actual speech, whenever I hear something this damning, I assume something is wildly out of context.

I mean when we watch decades of wars that kill thousands of American's and MILLIONS of people in their own countries for no reason, maybe we need a little additional justification rather than "fight for your country". Nah! Probably just the fault of the "instant gratification" generations being selfish again.

We see more, and trust less now. Seems like a good first order explanation to me anyway.

Isn't the point of protest to not let people forget about things? How easy would it be in the west to not notice, the media certainly isn't keeping up on it. Every time I see one of these I think, that's a braver person than me, and thank fucking god for the Streisand effect. No downvote, but strong disagree.

Stop it, stop it. I already like the guy. Geez. But really, great joke.

I genuinely don't understand why so many people go with the network brand. AFAIK all of the US networks have MVNO's that operate on their networks at much lower cost. Some of those virtual operators are even owned by the big guys, e.g. Cricket on ATT. My coworkers pay literally hundreds of dollars more per month than is necessary, and what, they get a few Mbps faster data rates? Is that really worth it?

Edit: TIL a lot of people have had a hard time with MVNO's. My experience has been excellent and consistent, but that apparently doesn't generalize.

I'm just curious how many Palestinians need to die, and how much of Gaza needs to be razed to dust before we're "even" in the minds of proponents that somehow this war is justified. Legitimately and in good faith, when are we "good" here?

There's something wonderful about the delight on Seven's face❤️

For me using signal wasn't about becoming Jason Bourne, it was about changing the threat model. I don't have any dilusions of grandeur that I can't be owned if I'm targeted, but you know what? My calls and texts aren't stored with my phone company with a direct link to the Government and advertisers. That may be low hanging fruit, but that's dealing with most of the issues the average user is going to run into. I'd suggust that the step from SMS to Signal is of greater benifit to a normal user than from signal to something more advanced. And, fwiw it's open sourced and audited, which gives me more confidence than something like imessage or WhatsApp, despite similarities im encryption schemes.

"Holy shit this femboy has great legs" said I to my wife.❤️

And how does a libertarian justify a billion dollar baleout when silicon valley bank went insolvant.

Physics teacher: "The electrical force that repels the bottom of your foot from the surface of the earth is greater than the gravitational attraction between the entire earth and yourself".

Me: 😲

Edit: I guess it's more correct to say "equal to", rather than "greater" since you're static.

Is this not the shit that American cops use on American civilians like...all the time? Genuine question, would like to know if I'm wrong about that.

Head cannon is that 1/3 of voyager is taken up by a massive shuttle manufactory. It's never discussed but it must be there...Otherwise, none of this shit makes any sense.😬
