again proving that the whole concept of "value" is arbitrary

why spend three months salary on a diamond ring for your gf when there's literally planets made of the stuff?

Especially with diamonds, which aren't even that rare on Earth. Their value is almost entirely artificial

I'm more afraid of Spanish than any other language.

Feels like it'd be harder than Japanese, but I've studied Japanese for a while now, so I'm biased.

Not sure why, I feel like the "closeness" of Spanish to English is deceptive as to its difficulty. The only advantage you have going in is really getting a free pass on select vocabulary. The rest just comes down to brute force and exposure.

I like the "distance" of Japanese because for some reason it's easier to file away words and concepts that aren't "english like" at all.

the nice thing about spanish is that the written words are all phonetic

It would be very surprising if that number ever reaches above 10% even accounting for people who may still be lying on that sheet.

It's certainly not a negative thing for a straight person to be with a transperson, but it's not something anyone should push for in terms of social acceptance of transpeople. For the average person, a transperson is a transperson. That will never change. Anyone who really thinks acceptance needs to reflect dating and sex is on the extreme side of the argument.

this is a fundamental misunderstanding of the argument.

People who think trans women are men and always men are using outdated or unscientific information that's intellectually equal or even inferior to that used in anti-vaxxer arguments. But hey, I guess cis feelings matter more than trans lives, such is the status quo.


No one is talking about killing trans people. If a person wants be a girl then be a girl, but no one is obligated to have sexual interest in them.

trans people get murdered at a much higher rate than cis people.

and her other point -- that people use vague unscientific terms like "biological women" as a way to insinuate that trans women are not actually women, is also correct.
