I think comparing gender or sexual orientation to a disability is also not the way to go. Its a very different experience with very different challenges in our current society.
If what you say is true about not being anti queer, I think you should try to refelct the way you view and talk about queer people. The reactiona to ypur comments are so big/aggressive because the rhetoric you use is very similar to the rhetoric many bigots use when talking about queer folks. So even if you mean it differently, from our perspective it really looks the same / similar.
good that you know better than the people that write psychatric / psychological guidelines for professionals. they actually removed the classification as a mental disorder based on more uptodate research and the current scientific consensus. its sad to see people not only repeating this transphobic talking point but people on Lemmy also upvoting it.
Egypt telling them this isn’t some whisper by an anonymous source.
Maybe my wording is not that clear, but I am just responding to this part of the article where the source for the story is clearly mentioned as an anonymous source.:
“We have warned them an explosion of the situation is coming, and very soon, and it would be big. But they underestimated such warnings,” the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to discuss the content of sensitive intelligence discussions with the media, told The Associated Press.
Not saying we should trust Netanyahu’s denial of this happening, but at the same time its not really reasonable to just trust an anonymous source in an ongoing conflict where public and international opinion matters a lot.
If there is more to this story then we probably will see more people confirming this in the near future.
On December 10th, at around 6 p.m., 200 environmental activists suddenly stormed and “invaded” a Lafarge company cement factory of La Malle in Bouc-Bel-Air in the Bouches-du-Rhone, Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region in Southern France. Infrastructure at the plant was reportedly attacked using a variety of methods, including: sabotage of incinerators and electrical systems and devices; cable cutting; bags of cement cut open and spilled; damage to vehicles and construction equipment; damaged windows; and graffiti spraying.
The worst enemy of the left has been, is, and always will be, the left. The infighting is insane.
Idk about that, I would argue that the people that killed or imprisoned leftists or plan to do so have been/are the worst enemy of leftists. Like in Germany the nazis kinda killed or exiled a whole generation of leftists of all stripes. I think that is way worse than infighting, arguments or splitting up.
And calling something negative “insane” has a kinda ableist tone. I think other words would be equally effective in making your point.
And then there are times you set a password and everything just seems to work fine, but later the new password never works. You reset the password, try again and really focus because you think you made some mistake with the password manager. Again the password you set does not work.
You begin to google the problem and see that there is a max password lenght of 12. But you always set passwords of the lenght 20-30 and the interface never complained. But because you are desperate, you try just the first 12 characters of the last password you set. And it works!
I hate HP printers.
Hey in another comment you mentioned being from Germany, so I think this might be relevant to you
Erstmals hat das Bundesinnenministerium (BMI) bestätigt, dass der Messengerdienst Telegram Nutzerdaten an deutsche Ermittlungsbehörden übermittelt hat
Of cource Bundesinnenministerium aka the police is not really the most trustworthy source, but I just wanted to mention that in case you and others did not know about that.
There should be a contest which region / country / city lights up the most.
