So you’re saying Harry would totally stop owning a person if it didn’t have negative consequences for Harry?
Me when I’m a famous author who hates trans people and I decide to make the anti-slavery movement in my book a huge joke
Harry owns Kreacher
Both of the characters in this meme own slaves.
I tried soy milk before I tried oat milk because soy was the only cruelty free milk I knew about. But I eventually tried all the varieties and determined that oat milk tastes the best.
There’s also https://lemmy.world/c/chaotesvspatriarchy, but I didn’t want to seem like I was advertising myself. There are plenty of great choices and lots of people have had good ideas. twox just isn’t one of them
Oh man, you’ve got one of those transphobes here? That sucks.
The mods of reddit/r/twoxchromosomes knew that their sub name was gender essentialist from a month after they created a “women’s” sub with chromosomes in the name. They had every opportunity to do the right thing and migrate their community to a different /r/. But they didn’t, they continued to promote a sub built on transphobia until it was a default sub putting gender essentialism in front of every single new user on the site.
The migration to Lemmy is the perfect time to undo the wrongs of the past. It’s a brand new community and we have a chance to do some good. We’re not beholden to the names of the past.
Mods: Please please please PLEASE lock this community, delete all posts, and pin a redirect to a community with a better name. Why not /c/women or /c/genderdiversity? There are a hundred names better than this one. What’s the justification for the twoxchromosomes name
The name XX was chosen just because it illustrates the essence of this subreddit and its target Redditors–girly and geeky, and subtly awesome. (You can look here and here to see how the name came about.)
Really? We’re going to associate girliness with a genotype? We’re going to brag about being cisgender? There is no excuse for platforming these ideas. Now is the time to do better.
The BITE classification was invented in order to justify hatred of small religions, by taking a word that already had a meaning (cult) and attaching a second, pejorative meaning to it. It’s like if I write a fantasy novel with a species of evil creatures called jews. Jew is already a word, and it’s a horrific act of religious persecution to take a pre-existing word for marginalised religions and spin it into an unrelated negative.
No, cults are small religions, this is a big religion
Let’s defederate
I can’t see any history discussing the change before today, but the posts from before today also seem to be more inclusivity-minded than this one. Maybe it’s just a huge oversight and they forgor. But it’s definitely not a nice look. The new rules also say you’re not allowed to report content for things that aren’t a violation of the terms of service. So if you report a content for being racist, that’s against the rules.
