It's funny, because I remember when I learned about trans people. My mother was watching some episode of Dr Phil, where the person on the show was a trans man and the episode revolved around Phil essentially insulting him and telling him hebwas just a confused woman... But in my egg brain I just thought "wait... You can DO that? I can just be a girl???"

[-] perturbedstarstuff@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

The implicit admission that "out of sight, out of mind" is the first line of defence of thought control they're desperately trying to maintain is too funny.

[-] hildegarde@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago

The only way to maintain their belief system is isolating themselves from anyone different. That's why so many right wing extremists homeschool their children.

All the us Americans talking about some politician again, guess it's time for me to find out who they are.

—

So, according to the political positions listed on his Wikipedia, he's a guy who's mostly against anti-trans legislation and who generally says that we should listen to what medical professionals have to say. THIS is what all the republican fearmongering is about? A guy who sometimes is not in support of their repressive policies?? Is this what left-wing means in Texas???

[-] GalacticGrapefruit@lemmy.world 26 points 2 days ago

Yeah. This is the left-wing in Texas.

Welcome to Hell.

[-] boydster@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 days ago

He also identifies openly as a Christian and that rustles their jimmies quite a bit

[-] YellowParenti@lemmy.wtf 6 points 2 days ago

There is an attack ad of him quoting the bible too.

[-] Estiar@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 days ago

Communism and socialism means immigrants in jobs and trans in sports people according to the vice president. So yes, this is left wing

[-] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

All politics is local after all.

They tried to show the clip where he says "God is nonbinary" as a point against him, but I only imagine kids from religious families going "wait that makes sense to me."

[-] scoobford@piefed.blahaj.zone 15 points 2 days ago

That commercial included several things which are pretty much just in the text. I learned them in bible class as a child, read them myself as a teen, and discussed them with a professor to boot.

They're entirely banking on Christians who don't know much about the bible, which tbf is most of them. Sort of like how a lot of leftists don't read theory.

[-] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Sort of, although leftist theory, by virtue of having a close relationship to the truth, can converge with other forms of thinking. On the other hand, in order to be Christian specifically, you pretty much need to read the Bible or have someone who's read it tell you what it says.

[-] dubs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 2 days ago

I learned that over 20 years ago when I went to a religious school.

[-] GalacticGrapefruit@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

Given that our only solid eyewitness account of God is 'burning shrub', yeah. I mean, did Moses check to see if the shrub had seed pods???

His pfp got changed to Jupiter's mugshot after the Catholic church ate Rome.

[-] boydster@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

Moses also saw the butt! Besides the obvious fact that it was a perfect butt, and also a good butt, Moses said nothing illuminating with regards to the masculinity or femininity of the aforementioned observed posterior.

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

My evangelical parents (and church) taught me this 30 years ago. It wasn't a big deal then. How odd.

[-] Quexotic@infosec.pub 7 points 2 days ago

Learned that in Catholic school. Lol.

[-] socsa@piefed.social 4 points 2 days ago

Yes, the funniest part of this whole media campaign is that it's going to make "holy Trinity" sermons super awkward for years to come.

[-] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 29 points 2 days ago

There where multiple ongoing anti-drug campaign when i was a teen.

Many of them framed facts into scare campaigns. The issue was if i lined them all up it became obvious that they could not all tell the truth.

I was vey naive and it seemed very obvious to not consume something that would kill me. I was never going to touch drugs, why would anyone? Why do we need a police officers visiting my class to tell us the most obvious things in the world.

At some point i just cracked from the confusion and started doing my own research on the topic.

As a results i became hugely interested in the matter and they remain one of my special intrest today. Mild altering substances are so fascinating and powerful, and we barely understand them.

Responsible disclaimer:

  • Drugs have real risks and can be very dangerous, addiction is no joke.

  • While interested i did wait till i was over 18 to start experimenting, with what i know now i recommend waiting till at least 24. Contrary to what laws say an 18yo is not an adult.

  • I knew my limits and remained careful while continuing to apply a scientific rigor trough it all. And in the end i stopped using them at all.

Yeah, "facts". When I was in high school they had cops visit and tell us how another cop "just touched a guy that took fentanyl" and had to have an emergency dose of Narcan (opiate reverser) because he was "poisoned". No being needle stuck, bit, etc, just the "residue" on the clothing/skin of the person that took it. No wonder people don't trust cops.

Per [Is fentanyl dangerous to touch? Experts say no – here's why] -(https://www.cbsnews.com/news/fentanyl-contact-overdose-risks-what-to-know/)

Can you overdose by touching fentanyl? 

Experts told CBS News that touching fentanyl powder will not cause an overdose. In powder form, the way it's almost always found in the illicit drug supply, the drug cannot absorb through the skin, said Ryan Marino, a medical toxicologist, emergency physician and addiction medicine specialist at the Cleveland Medical Center. Just being near the substance also won't cause an overdose.

"Fentanyl as a dry powder is not going to cross through your skin. It's the same reason you can touch sugar without your blood sugar going up," said Marino. "Solids don't cross through your skin." 

[-] Quexotic@infosec.pub 12 points 2 days ago

Literally came intthe classroom and told us the right way to do drugs.

Literally.

This was a campaign to get certain folks on drugs.

[-] gandalf_der_12te@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 days ago

Contrary to what laws say an 18yo is not an adult.

yeah and a large part of the reason for this is that we don't let the people make experiences before that age. if we shift the age of "you're now an adult" to 24, people won't be adult by that time either.

[-] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Its actually about biological maturity. Your brain is literaly not complete before that.

I can back this up with scientific sources:

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3621648/

https://sites.duke.edu/apep/module-3-alcohol-cell-suicide-and-the-adolescent-brain/science-content/brain-maturation-is-complete-at-about-24-years-of-age/

“the brain rewires itself from the onset of puberty up until 24 years old, especially in the prefrontal cortex.”

“It is well established that the brain undergoes a “rewiring” process that is not complete until approximately 25 years of age.This discovery has enhanced our basic understanding regarding adolescent brain maturation and it has provided support for behaviors experienced in late adolescence and early adulthood. Several investigators consider the age span 10–24 years as adolescence”

Speaking from personal experience, i actually felt this. Its similar to the memory of suddenly “waking up to a compleye theory of mind” at around 5yo which many people have. Like the parts of my brain that were otherwise occupied in the background becoming fully accessible to me.

There might be some truth to what you say if you look at evolution. Cause it does seem like the phase maturity keeps getting longer, but its not something an insividual family can fight within a few generations.

[-] gandalf_der_12te@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 1 day ago

i don't get what this has to do with anything. your bone marrow doesn't stop producing new blood cells for 90 years. does that mean that you can't use your body before you're 90? because your bone marrow is still not done producing all these red blood cells ...

[-] webghost0101@sopuli.xyz 1 points 23 hours ago

Surely you understand that there is a difference between the production red blood cells, which are the same at birth and elder age. Versus: The development of the prefrontal cortex which is responsible for processing and adapting one's thinking in order to focus, control how you behave, and make (smart) decisions.

Which almost all drugs directly interact with.

Puberty is where your brain learns to find its baselines, to discover who you are. Using drugs from a young age impacts who you might become.

Now the difference between 18 and 24 isn’t going to be that big and amounts matter. 1 joint at 15 isnt going to harm you more then then alcohol at the same age. But if your baseline is to be impaired all day, thats going to have an impact.

[-] heartSagan5@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago

Yup, just like DARE... that taught a lot of kids about drugs and being an informant for cops

[-] hildegarde@lemmy.blahaj.zone 40 points 3 days ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

Conservative whinging is the reason I'm trans today. Would not have learned about it otherwise.

[-] Quexotic@infosec.pub 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Whinging... That's the perfect way to describe it. Like that one kid in grade school that nobody liked that was insistent on telling on everyone.

I'm keeping that, thanks.

[-] hildegarde@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 22 hours ago

Good job not keeping my spelling. 🤢 Not worth.

[-] Lehmuusa@nord.pub 16 points 2 days ago

Would you care to elaborate?

[-] hildegarde@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 2 days ago

I first noticed american republicans pushing transphobic rhetoric around ten ish years ago or so. I want to be informed on issues that may arise during an election, so I had to research trans issues. All this was a direct result of that hateful rhetoric.

I learned a lot about gender, and trans people, and it prompted me to consider my own gender which I really hadn't done before. It took time after that to accept myself as trans, and even longer to be ready to do anything about it.

If politicians had just left trans people alone I doubt I would have figured myself out by now.

[-] Lehmuusa@nord.pub 9 points 2 days ago

You're an intelligent and responsible person. And got the karma for that :)

[-] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 days ago

Ah yes the old " constantly talking about them" argument, this time the shoe is on the other foot though.

[-] RedWeasel@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

Election day anytime of year needs to be a “trans day of visibility” as we all go and vote.
