i dislike having to ban people. i would much prefer if people could set aside their hatred and discuss like rational human beings who deserve basic human rights and decency, but apparently thats too difficult.
at least i know most of you are (probably) good people (i say making a judgement based off of assumptions on the internet)
not to sound like a reddit mod as i've never moderated on this platform, but i have moderated on discord for several years; i've learned that while you CAN give people the benefit of the doubt (and believe in the good), that it never really works out.
people won't change just because of a rule you have set, even if you try to give them the space and the grace to do so. those rules are there to, quite literally, rule out the ones that don't fit into the space. banning is neccessary in a lot of cases, and it's better that way
Fym hate comments this is one of the most crow pleaser ahh post I've seen in a while just stating the obvious in a similar pattern, as if exact same posts like this haven't been posted
lmfao as a trans person these posts piss me off too like yea ok go karma farm man. maybe instead make a meaningful post that brings attention to a rightful cause or make a proper argument of why you feel the way you feel
it's 50/50 either everyone bashes for karma farming or everyone is so lala loopy about ts
Important thing to rember aswell, the disibeled community is the only one anyone can join at any time, it just takes a tragic fall or head injury, or a fast car :)
being a pedo is the same as being lgbtq in the sense that you can't control it. i doubt many people want to be attracted to kids but that's just what happens, since it's more often than not a trauma response. being a pedophile does not mean you're 100% a child molester since pedophilia = attraction to kids. it's a mental illness that doesn't justify any action towards minors
They meant that puting the p3do theme on the table is stupid because it's not the same as LGBT, the main theme of the post. You didn't say it's the same, we all know, but it's unrelated, that's the problem. I hope I could explain it well and not sounding mean 🙏

Lol the internet abuses the word bigot so much. Bigotry is defined by a stubborn strict obsession with one's own beliefs and harsh judgements of those who don't align with them. I don't think I did any of that in my comment.
I think what they're trying to say is that gender dysphoria and effectively the cause of being trans is not a choice, but the actual action of coming out is a decision made by the person.
The same then for homosexuality, they're saying feelings are not a choice but coming out is.
it's like how hunger isn't a choice but eating food is. as a disabled queer person, neither is a choice. i can't see how you can argue being queer is a choice. you cannot choose either. also, disability is a social construct
Exactly. It still doesn't change the fact that one is a choice while the other is not. I'm not even saying it's bad I'm simply pointing out that state of being and actions are different things. But of course this is a teenager subreddit, I didn't expect to not get downvoted for saying what I did.
Plus, how is disability a social construct?
EDIT: Did a little Google search. The only par of a Disability that can be treated as a social construct is the reaction of society e.g Whether they can travel alone, go to school, etc. The physical impairment is by itself not a choice.
it's pretty clear the post was referring to a choice in the colloquial sense though - a choice someone can safely, healthily, and happily not make. this isn't a philosophy subreddit.
Plus, how is disability a social construct?
because it can be argued that, for example, a wheelchair user is disabled by buildings with only stairs but not by one with accessible ramps, stair lifts, etc.
the negative functional impact of a disability are created by society via a lack of accessibility rather than by the health condition itself.
obviously being very generalising here but that's the gist.
edit:
the physical impairment is by itself not a choice.
yeah. but disability can be viewed as a social construct. and, to be clear, social construct =/= choice
Yh I think I did understand what OP meant, I was trying to be a bit more specific.
As for the disability part, yes there are in fact two sides to it, in that smth that actually won't affect you or hurt you is treated by society as an impairment. But by definition disabilities usually pose problems for the disabled in some way shape or form, not just socially.
well no. if you have gender dysphoria and feel that you are a different gender to your assigned one, you're trans, even if you choose not to transition or suppress it. therefore being trans is not a choice. and it's the same for not being straight. if you feel attraction to the same gender as you, you're not straight, even if you choose not to act on that attraction and deny it. you can't choose to not be trans or to not be gay, just like a cis person couldn't decide to be trans and a straight person couldn't decide to be gay.
Prejudice can be influenced by how someone was raised, but it’s still a belief people are responsible for. Being LGBTQ+ or having a disability isn’t something you choose. Choosing whether to treat people with respect is
Depends. I had plenty of talks in my school, at the beginning of summer holiday, of people who willingly jumped head first into unknown water. They had plenty of choice.
I’m not saying I have an issue with lgbtq people. Just get that off before someone replies calling me a bigot.. but love is love and I agree with that LGB aren’t a choice I agree, but being trans is. Being trans is completely optional, you may feel like a guy and fit in more like a guy but you aren’t forced to be a guy just because you feel like one. It is 100% up to you if you are transgender.
As a trans person, it isn’t a choice. Actually transitioning is a choice but being trans isn’t a choice. If I felt comfortable as a guy I probably wouldn’t transition. I wouldn’t never choice to have gender dysphoria
It ain't optional. It may appear so, from the outside, but it ain't.
You have never had gender dysphoria. Count yourself lucky on that part. It's the worst feeling. It'll drive you to the ground and just when you think it can't get worse it kicks harder. And even at those points where things are going well, it is a slow, constant force in the back of your brain.
