    Well… “They’re all” is kinda rhetorical shorthand, but the vast, vast majority of Israeli citizens are colonizers definitionally, just like how “all” north Americans are colonizers (obviously except indigenous people). The difference is that the USA/Canadian settler colonial projects have already “”“succeeded”“”.



  • A. Care to provide any evidence for your “gender is a mental disorder” point? Even a little?

    B. No one actually cuts a penis off, just FYI

    C. Its not uncommom for Cis teenage girls get breast reduction surgery, or even implants. Do you have issue with this? Or do you only have an issue when it’s trans men getting a mastectomy?

    D. Why you gotta be weird dude? I guarantee you’ve interacted with at least a handful of trans people in your life and were genuinely clueless about it. (I’m pre-empting the “we can always tell”)

    Edit: didnt notice he’s banned. Leaving it anyway.








  • I edited one word of my comment because I had another reply from someone who misunderstood what I was referring to, so i clarified so there wouldnt be further confusion, not to give myself an excuse to be snarky.

    • I’ve read the article you’ve provided a number of times previously and while yes, it does indicate that there is no scientific evidence for my claim, it is limited to the UK.

    • I don’t see what interbreed-ability has to do with invasiveness?

    I don’t care about some American publication talking about cats

    • I provided 3 sources, one was American, the others were from Oxford (also in the UK last I checked) and Tillburg (Netherlands), both discussing the EU broadly

    • Here is another study from the checks notes British Ecological Society which concludes in part

    “…It is also well established that free-ranging cats pose a significant threat to biodiversity conservation and restoration worldwide, and that remedying this threat is relatively easy when compared to other drivers of biodiversity loss…”

    If you’re not going to read the evidence I’m providing, while saying I’m only providing americentric evidence, then I’m going to respectfully abandon this thread. I apologize for the snark, that was uncalled for.

    Edit: formatting only




  • Except plastic straws aren’t actively hunting marine creatures.

    Domesticated cats are not native to north america and western Europe, and people should be more responsible in how they care for their pets, especially the ones that are invasive fucking species.

    Also, 2 things can be true. It’s possible that bird populations are being decimated by ecological destruction as well as the mass breeding and free roaming of invasive predators introduced by humans.

    Edit: clarified that I meant domesticated cats

    I’m going to very sincerely disagree. You can see it as misinterpretation if you like, but I believe there’s functionally no difference between the two statements you’ve provided and as long as the right is trying to come up with any excuse to outlaw our existence, its optically beneficial to come up with ways of educating people who may be “eggs” about being trans/enby that are informative, but are less likely to fuel a deranged groomer witchhunt. I’m glad it helped you and your friends, but given the political climate, I believe we should avoid terms that endanger us more than needed.

    Continue using it, I certainly won’t stop you. But I’m not going to start.

    Frankly idgaf about the prime directive (edit: this is perhaps an exaggeration, I meant I wasn’t necessarily referring to the prime directive) , but as an enby person, I think going around saying “doing this makes you an egg” is pretty antithetical to people not wanting to be judged for not complying with the gender roles that correspond with their assigned gender.
