assess what type of DEI programs are still discriminating against Americans

The official said it was “very fitting” that the order was announced on Martin Luther King Jr. Day because “this is order is meant to return to the promise and the hope, captured by civil rights champions, that one day all Americans can be treated on the basis of their character, not by the color of their skin.”

I don't think I can handle four more years of this brain bending insanity. I've tried to understand where people are coming from. I've been of the belief that most of us are good people and want the same things. But trying to unpack the thoughts and whims of POTUS on a daily basis is just going to break my brain. I work at a computer all day so I'm not sure how I'm going to prevent myself from encountering this circus. I'm weighing the choice of living in blissful ignorance or in utter despair.

For over eight yers, my heart has hurt because of the sheer stupidity and ignorance taking control of this country. I am not seeing any signs of improvement. On the contrary, it seems very apparent that it's getting worse.

Let these next 4 years radicalize you.

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

Radicalize this person to post against every trump competitor for being insufficient until 2028, then, realizing the competitors aren't going to win, start asking how to survive 2029 to 2032? Bulletproof.

What about hermaphrodites? Do they just pick their favorite?

[–] 3dogsinatrenchcoat@slrpnk.net 6 points 2 days ago

The term is "intersex" (which covers a broad range of sex variation including "true hermaphroditism" though the term hermaphrodite is considered offensive when applied to a human). Typically intersex people are assigned either male or female at birth. If they are born with ambiguous genitalia, they are given surgery as infants to make them match their assigned sex (which has many negative side effects such as scarring, sterility, pain during urination/sex, and gender dysphoria). They may also be forced onto hormones to make them go through the "correct" puberty. Conservatives are generally in support of this practice, and laws that have been passed against trans healthcare have contained exceptions to allow for nonconsensual procedures on intersex children

No, "traditionally" it's picked for them right after birth.
Any surplus parts are cut off, problem solved.

these fascist dipshits are everything they claim to hate. we are expected to just accept "their truth" when all of the evidence suggests otherwise, so pathetic.

Reminds me of the time Indiana tried to redefine pi.

Fuck 'em title 19 still applies.
