Really interesting and slightly scary, thanks for sharing!

To visit, sure. I live in the UK, but I’m sure I can convert that into £

I am white and from a middle class background though, so I’m fortunate. I wouldn’t take the money if I had to live there though

And obviously Aang’s is Appa :3

Avatar: The Last Airbender and His Dark Materials… What would the Gaang’s daemons be? 👀

Autumn… no bugs, it’s nice and mild weather, and everything is dying 🥰

Please tell us where 🥺

Did you take that photo? The sunset is beautiful!

Biological sex (male, female, intersex) refers to the physical aspects of your body, such as primary sex characteristics (reproductive organs), secondary sex characteristics (body hair, breasts, fat distribution, etc), hormone levels (estrogen, testosterone), and chromosomes.

Gender (man, woman, nonbinary, other terms) is more about an internal sense of self, how you see yourself and how you want your body to be, as well as what social category you belong in.

A trans woman is a person who was biologically male at birth, but sees herself as a woman/wants her body to align with her gender (woman). Not all trans women medically transition, and that’s ok, but for those who do, it can change various aspects of their biological sex, such as hormone levels and secondary sex characteristics, so it may not be entirely true to say that trans women (post transition) are biologically male either.

I don’t think “everyone” does talk about this, I have no idea what you mean 😅

He loves all the Red Hot Chili Peppers songs!

Tack så mycket! Jag har borttagen min kommentar, du är mycket bättre med svenska än mig ;)

They promised to never make a Minecraft 2 when they bought the game from Notch

Even if the number is set as hidden in settings?

Poe’s law. You should have used tone indicators…

It’s more about experience than age. If you prevent 13 year olds from gaining online experience, they’ll have the same level of inexperience when you expose them to the internet at 16.

Also they’ll deny trans kids puberty blockers which are proven to be safe and reversible, and the alternative creates harm.

And they’ll censor the internet for ‘children’ (a 17 year old is not a child) to prevent them finding community, support or education outside their IRL religious and harmful bubbles.

It was never about actually protecting children

This is just more child abuse disguised as “parental rights”. It becomes clear how harmful this is when you realise that not all parents have their childrens best interests at heart (even if they think they do and sincerely mean well) and allowing parents to censor the information children have available to them allows them to censor information that the children learn only too late to prevent harm.

You get YouTube where everyone likes everything and nothing is ever bad quality /s

Yes to all three. But people who claim to be trans are rarely any of those, and scientific consensus shoes that trusting them generally leads to less harm than disbelieving them - especially as puberty blockers are fully reversible. If the adolescent is not trans, they can stop them and have their natural puberty continue as normal.
