Dune isn’t a super hero film. It’s a space opera based on a series of Novels.
Super Hero films are typically based on comic book stories from the likes of Marvel / DC / Dark Horse.
He’s clearly a big guy, look how far his legs extend past the edge of a normal chair.
Jesus it’s wild to think people would assume I’m an AI generated image based off of the fact that I wear a size 15 US (49 Euro).
Doesn’t look like he’s pulling on the charging handle.
It appears that he’s changing the select fire switch and changing the rifle from semi auto to full auto.
Thats why when he pulled the trigger on the first shot only one spent case was ejected, but after he adjusts it you can hear several rounds fire off as he squeezes the trigger.
Got it.
I apologize.
You’re a the most qualified person on the internet for cisgender, trans, and intersex word policing.
Now that I know and if I don’t change, you’ll make sure to report it to the cisgender police for trans activities special victims unit…
It’s interesting you chose the statement “it’s not difficult to be better, it’s just a choice”. You could have started this entire interaction with “hey dude, just a heads up that a lot of transphobes use phrases like ‘biological male’ to invalidate trans identities”, but instead you took the opportunity to speak down to me and made sure I was now “educated” and that I can stop using wrong speak.
Thank God you’re here as an ally to make people question why those of us on this side of the fence can’t even get along internally.
If you ever find yourself wondering why there’s people out there that don’t speak up about trans hate, just go reread your original reply to me. My comment was nothing close to hateful or bigoted, but you’re not gonna tolerate wrong speak on lemmy.
You clearly could see where I was coming from and where my support is directed. Instead of total indifference to my comment, which would have been the bare minimum amount of attention you could give to it. You decided to take umbrage with me saying “biological” instead of what makes you happy and throw out intersex groups that make up a fraction of a percent of the entire population like an uno reverse card.
Then to cap it off you made sure to declare that I’ve been “properly educated”, so sayeth you. So from here on out, I need to use the right language or… else?
I’m not quite sure what your final edict was supposed to imply. That if I don’t use the right language my trans friends won’t talk to me anymore? I’ll get kicked out of the gay club?
Instead of leaving it, you had to make it a point to punch down on someone who isn’t as “informed” as you and put me on blast like I just said the N word equivalent for trans persons.
Seriously, it’s great you want to help spread awareness, but damn you took a super hostile and adversarial tone right off the bat.
Just calling my shot here. I wrote all this out on my phone and it will not be well received despite the fact that there’s members of trans alliance and advocacy groups who disagree with your position and disagree with the use of “ASAB”. There’s people within the community who dislike using the term trans as a catch all.
Where do you personally draw the line? Are you going to stop saying ASAB now that you know some people don’t like it? Are you going to keep saying “trans” even though some people feel like it marginalizes the community and feels too informal to discuss complex gender identities?
For whatever reason people online are more interested in being outraged.
Unhelpful, potentially harmful, and should be abandoned Many scholars support the collection of data on sexual orientation and gender identity in clinical, research, and census records to improve collective knowledge of sexual and gender minority health.1 Organisations often recommend using two-step questions to record identity: typically an initial question about gender (“What is your gender identity?”) followed by one about sex assigned at birth (“What sex were you assigned at birth, on your original birth certificate?”). However, transgender people have concerns about sex-assigned-at-birth questions,2345 and these questions may not be the best way to obtain the information that clinicians need. The United Nations recommends that all countries maintain a population registry in which sex is a required personal detail.6 The rationale has been to uphold sex specific rights, duties, and policies such as those related to military service, pregnancy, and segregation in prisons and other facilities. Sex data are also used in travel and other documents …
Who assigned them male at birth? What if they were raised like a cisgender female typically would be in our society?
What makes someone “assigned at birth”? Is it dressing in masculine clothes, is it having a name like Michael and Billy, is it having a circumcision? These can all be comingled with other variations of child rearing.
Just because a parent assigns a “gender” at birth doesn’t make it someone’s actual identifying “gender”. As a young child they have no say in the matter and it’s quite frankly wrong to whitewash their childhood history and personal trauma like that.
Now that you’re more informed, I hope moving forward you stop trying to erase people’s adolescent psychological adversity.
