Well I guess it's that I have a difficult time understanding trans folk. My belief is that we should be working towards accepting and loving our bodies regardless of how they are formed, with all of their flaws intact. I feel complicated towards cosmetic surgery as a result of this belief.
Obligatory caveat: I still love trans people, you're ALL valid and I continue to learn from you.
I'm all for healthcare "rationing", that is cost-effectiveness analysis for both public and insurance-funded healthcare and setting a cap that will exclude even some evidence-based interventions.
On here
- liberalism is a non-economic political & moral philosophy worth defending, it can be leftist & makes more sense that way, socialism can be liberal & should be if it truly aims to be egalitarian
- it's okay to refer to human females as females, and that word should be embraced with pride
- insults are supposed to be abusive
- comedy doesn't need to be politically correct or enlightened, and good comedy challenges us by derisively subverting sacred presumptions & conventions
Liberal here who detests people living off of the government making dependence on benefits permanent and I don't support open borders.
This doesn't mean I support removing food stamps and ICE's attrocities.
I don't think AI is the devil. Liberals/leftists are frightening lately over this topic, in a way that is increasingly difficult to construe as anything other than garden-variety technophobia and anti-intellectualism.
People jump to crazy conclusions when they learn why I never had children. They think I'm a eugenicist because I made a decision for myself even though I specifically don't give a fuck what others do.
Liberals/leftists get strangely aggressive about wanting a cure for my genetic disorder. This apparently also makes me a eugenicist.
