If someone acted like this towards me, told me I absolutely had to be trans, I would have stayed in that egg way fucking longer. You don't get to decide someone is trans anymore than a mod does, the only person who can decide is the person themselves.

You're being hostile in what should be a friendly and welcoming space, the mod did a good thing here and you probably need to spend some time reflecting on your actions.

At this point Labor is making a game out of opening new extraction projects after the net zero deadline...

FnB has a possibly not updated map of local chapters, I made my way into my other groups by connections I made with my chapter. Another option is to just start looking at leftist insta pages, pretty much every group I know of is on there.

Labor really going all in on authoritarianism lately...

Ngl, time to just start destroying the coal railways instead of blocking them for a few hours

ODing on ibuprofen is terrifying

Hate to say that video has been on my mind pretty much constantly these last 6 or so months...

Me

It's been one of three things for me:

• Like having a cool friend you see a lot. Good memories, but never a relationship that lasted.
• Someone working out how to twist my own mind against me, controlling me for their own gain and never actually understanding that a relationship isn't a transaction. (and hopefully that one isn't stalking me on lemmy again, otherwise I or one of my friends will get harassed and I'll be filling out an intervention order)
• The most beautiful thing that I didn't know was possible, I thought I'd been happy before but when you meet the right person you really do just click and life becomes worth living. Never felt so good about myself as I did then, just hurt all the more to lose it so suddenly. I've written a lot about others I've only met briefly, songs about people who'd never think of me that way, but when it's true love I just can't. I don't think anything I can say could really capture that. There just isn't enough poetry in the world to describe how magical it is to look up at a pair of beautiful brown eyes swimming in a field of stars and hearing them say "I love you" for the first time.

It's always funny when people say this can't work, when it constantly works better than any current hierarchical structure. All the collectives I'm in work great, and there are tons of worker owned co-ops going strong, one of my activist groups will often go for meals at one after a day of protesting.

Just because you can't imagine something different doesn't mean it can't work. It's not just a mess of everyone trying to dominate each other, it's cooperative and there are simple processes to facilitate it. It's possible to run countries this way.

Hierarchies exist to exploit and abuse.

I've had a lot of these experiences, and it's been pretty hard, I've even had the exact same experience with The Owl House actually.

Honestly I've been dealing with it by working on myself, I'm slowly becoming someone I like to be and feeling more confident, largely through diy fashion, but also just by getting involved in stuff I'm passionate about. Over time the envy has begun to fade because I'm feeling more and more like I have my own identity and I like who I am now.

I have no idea if it's even remotely the same for you, but once I stopped feeling generic, things got a lot better. These days I look in the mirror and I see the punk I am, instead of a struggling mess with no direction, and that makes me feel secure about myself. It's still really crazy to me that I feel more real than ever because of a pair of pants made of dental floss and dirt.
