  • Detecting if your employees are having trouble doesn’t sound that terrible, The issue is that instead of getting them help from another employee they are doing some useless BS.

    It seems like this system is designed to limit a corporation’s liability for hostile work environments that are created by a combination of corporate negligence and shitty customers.





  • The difference between MLKs views about moderates in the civil rights movement and not supporting surgeries and drugs for children is that white people were (and arguably still are) actively oppressing black people.

    Puberty is not something that is “inflicted” on anyone. It just happens, it’s part of life. It’s disingenuous to assert that puberty is an affliction , or that someone is afflicting it on someone else. Unless you’re also arguing that birth is an affliction?


  • Maybe there will be a time when most voters agree with surgeries and drugs for children, but I don’t think we’re there yet, and I don’t think your “fuck off and die” attitude is going to convince very many people to be accepting of trans people.

    You’re providing a perfect example of the kind of attitude that will get fascists elected. You’re replying to someone who largely supports trans people and issues, but you’re foaming at the mouth over arguments that I didn’t advance, implying that I think it’s OK to murder trans people.

    Consider that the idea of puberty being something that moderates are “inflicting” on trans kids is a fairly radical view and you might need to do more than tell people to “fuck off and die” if you want support for your cause.


  • The right: “Trans people shouldn’t exist, people who allow boys to dress as girls and use different pronouns are groomers and should be shot. The far left wants to mutilate your children and put them on hormone drugs.”

    Moderates: “Adults can do what they want, and kids should be loved and supported even if they want to present as a different gender. Surgeries and drugs are a bridge too far, and should wait until the child is of age.”

    Leftists on Lemmy: “If you don’t support transgender surgeries and drugs for kids, you’re the enemy

    Do you really think that people who hold the moderate position are the enemy?

    This kind of thinking is exactly why we have such a festering fascism problem in western civilization right now.

    My enemy is the far right fascists, and I want to be able to tell independent voters that they’re wrong about the left, that the left does NOT want to give their kids permanent surgeries and life altering drugs until they are adults that can make those decisions.

    I want to be able to tell them that the trans issue is being used to divide us and get people to vote against their economic interests.

    Maybe let’s just stay focused about who the enemy really is, so that when the dust settles, more reasonable people can have an adult discussion about where the line is on these sorts of issues. I don’t think this is a settled issue, even within “the left”.
