Of fucking course we now have cases of this very preventable disease too. We’re not immune to the wave of anti-intellectualism that leads to things like anti-vax to get any traction at all.

Yeah that’s fair. If you’re looking for reproductive capacity, you’re indeed going to have a bad time sticking with trans women…

IMHO for kids it’s as good and bad a time as any. Safer overall in most countries, children work less, mostly have a childhood, decent-ish education mostly, … but social media is solidly fucking them up. I thought my (33) generation was fucked by having access to the internet and knowing more about it than most of their parents way too early. IMHO, it’s nothing compared to them being practically raised to be chronically online. Ah, and the impending sense of doom from the contemporary ecological disaster we’re living in isn’t helping either. I also understand that not everyone thinks this way, it’s perfectly okay not to have kids. As a dad of 2, I wouldn’t wish it on someone who didn’t want it.

Cocks don’t turn me on either, I find them very ugly to be honest, but I’m then thinking… Do we have to find every single thing about our partners attractive? Could the right person make me overlook a penis? Maybe? Again I’m married and have been with my wife for so long that it’s all very distant hypotheticals lol

I don’t go on Reddit anymore except when some Google search brings me there hehe. I used to be mostly on gaming, tech and programming subreddits, plus a handful of hobby related subs like /r/mechanicalkeyboards, /r/fountainpens, and so on. Very little shitposting/memeing going on, admittedly.

I’m too lazy to type site:reddit.com, I just append “Reddit” at the end of my search query lol

I guess working full time in English for the last 4 years helps haha

I mean, I’m tattooed and pierced, and I still don’t personally agree with piercing children’s ears either. IMHO that’s a rather personal choice and should be made by the person itself, not parents. But IMHO, objectively speaking, it makes no sense to put both on the same level.

A tiny earring like kids get is about 20-18g - in the sub-millimetre range. Unless you go at a shitty venue with terrible hygienic practices, these things stop hurting in minutes, stop being sore after mere hours, a day or two tops, and are pretty much as reversible as can be. There’s very little “bad” about it except a child crying for a minute or two - and that already happens hundreds of times a day, when they get vaccines, when they wait a minute while you prepare their bottle, when they’re tired, or honestly, just cause they feel like shit and can’t tell you cause they don’t speak yet.

Chopping off foreskins has zero use outside religious belief or medically motivated surgeries, and has long-term, irreversible medical implications.

I still don’t agree with the act, but not all evil is created equal…

I’ll take this as a compliment, especially since English is my second language haha!

Yeah as a man, saying you find trans women attractive beside you wouldn't have(in my case) a relationship with one it's generally a taboo at least in my society, usually people are in extreme sides, you are gay or you are cis, there is no middle point.

It’s indeed pretty taboo in some sense, even here in Canada lol. Doesn’t make it true though, sexual orientation being mostly a spectrum. I don’t have anything to back it up, but I strongly believe most people who say they’re “100% straight” are mostly repressing the non-zero part of themselves that could maybe be a tiny little bit gay, even if it’s like 0.01% lol

I can perfectly be friend of a trans(male or female) person but for me they are not relationship material.

Preferences are always okay.

We wouldn’t need mods if people could be decent. You’re actively working towards being the proof people can’t.

It’d be very difficult to quantify, so all I can say is my personal opinion... I have seen many marvellously beautiful trans women and have 0 issue saying I find one beautiful. Hell, I’m pretty much not attracted to men and there are many I can definitely say are beautiful people. I wouldn’t mind dating a trans woman at all, if it clicked and I found her attractive (my wife might disagree though lol). But I don’t know how most even could look more feminine. In the end, they still are women that were born in a man’s body, and most men’s bodies are, well… relatively masculine. Gender-affirming surgery can help for sure, but many don’t want to (and don’t have to!) go through all that.

Interesting, I feel the opposite. I have had a few run-ins with… interesting people on here, but nowhere near as bad as on Reddit.

I’ve honestly yet to see or feel those. I however exclusively browse my subscriptions feed, so I guess I filtered most of them out by my community choices?

It’s your problem you can’t see anything else, not theirs. They could wear pink fuzzy clothes written “FUCK ME” on their ass - you are the one staring based on nothing but personal taste. But sure, let’s play pretend like they have to cater to your taste to avoid your gaze lol. It’s the same backwards logic used by misogynists when it comes to women wearing revealing clothes.

You’re either discussing out of bad faith and are actually perfectly aware and content with acting like an asshole, or you’re that much of a moron that you don’t even realize you’re the one seeing an imaginary booger. I’ll therefore stop this “discussion” here. Have a good one regardless.
