  yes, but so is gender. gender is largely socially enforced. these behaviors and habits will be judged based on how you are perceived.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you "feel" gender?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Plenty of trans people accept their AGAB for some amount of time before realizing that it isn’t correct.

  my bad lol i don’t mean it that way, i meant overall if you are accepting of your AGAB you are living as a cisgender person. you can “accept” it in your mind but remain uncomfortable enough to further pursue lines of questioning, yes, but if you haven’t had any incongruence then i would feel it appropriate to say you are cis.

  I’m as certain as I reasonably can be.

  i get it, but i have been certain of many things only to have lived the opposite result. my point is that you might not realize how relevant your assumed gender is to your overall personal image until people are constantly commenting on it and noticing it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you "feel" gender?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I simply accepted my AGAB

  you are cisgender.

  I realized that I don’t feel any connection to this gender

  this experience lies on a spectrum. for example, genderqueer folks have had their expression scrutinized and oppressed, so gender identity is more of an issue they think about than the average person. basically, you don’t have to exist with a sense of fulfilment or pride to be comfortable as the gender you’ve been assigned. you not having any incongruence implies your comfort level being seen by society as the gender you present.

  I just don’t care about gender.

  i want to ask if you are certain of this, because simply not possessing any feelings positive or negative about your gender doesn’t mean you’d be fine if you woke up as the opposite or something in-between. i’m generalizing here, but genuinely think of how you’d feel if you transformed into the opposite gender while retaining who you are right now. all of your beliefs, passions, interests, social expectations, public perception, and many, many other things are impacted by gender. not in a direct way for some but a guy interested in childhood education or a woman choosing not to have kids would both face questions and assumptions because of their gender. you would also be forced to see your body and yourself differently because others would treat you as the new gender you are now presenting as. still don’t care?

  just a note: they don’t hunt humans. they are opportunistic and will include humans in their food supply if necessary. polar bears typically avoid people like other bears.

  it can lol i honestly think it can also be used effectively. there is an interesting way to go about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People are completely used to autotune in music now, and the same will happen with ai usage⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  you’re not wrong truly it’s about how you look at what is being created. a lot of studio albums are polished because they want to represent the artist’s closest vision. it isn’t necessarily about being raw, that’s for Live. they want to make the song they know is there in the exact way they hear it. pitch correct will not take somebody who is truly bad and make them sound good because the worse they are the more the effect has to be adjusted. it becomes really obvious and you’ll hear sharp corrections.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People are completely used to autotune in music now, and the same will happen with ai usage⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  i’m sorry but i am a musician and know producers and this doesn’t pass the smell test. what you think of as crap may be decent lol.

  …yes, i know what Melodyne is thanks lol. it still cannot do that. it will be incredibly bad sounding and obvious if the singer isn’t able to sing on key consistently enough and the errors aren’t minimal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People are completely used to autotune in music now, and the same will happen with ai usage⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  i don’t think so. autotune does not make a bad singer good or otherwise generate new content from existing material. every artist uses a variant of autotune, but it is an editing tool, not a replacement for skill.

  i don’t think so. it appears to be growing tbh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it normal to feel intense fear when in the presense of any sort of yelling / loud arguments?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  it depends. you mention “intense fear” as opposed to being uncomfortable or uneasy or feeling slightly threatened. that would be the average response, i’d think. if you have a history of abuse or trauma, then your intense fear may be a disordered response.

  great. just what us Americans need; another outbreak for the oligarchy to ignore while the peasants make them money and die. the CDC is a captured entity. what do we do now? i’d recommend paying attention to WHO.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wealthy people of color should help minorities but they choose not to⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  the focus is on POC because the conversation is about POC supporting minority groups. it’s meant to highlight unity against oppression but the most wealthy have abandoned the oppressed group they’re within instead. that is a unique thing not shared by everyone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wealthy people of color should help minorities but they choose not to⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  i don’t see that being said anywhere. was it edited? it does not imply that at all. they’re saying minorities should help minorities. stating all billionaires should be taxed is a separate statement. both can be true.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wealthy people of color should help minorities but they choose not to⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  that is a separate statement. this is highlighting minority groups supporting minority groups. please respect the discussion being made around that instead of smugly correcting. bean soup theory at work, jfc. not every statement is exclusionary because it doesn’t address your personal viewpoint.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are some many people role playing as animals?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  i agree heh. i’m glad i’m a furry during a good time to be one. also, with more tech we get more advanced suits and species like protogens can exist IRL. there’s a lot of suit makers too, so there’s tons of unique styles. it’s neat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are some many people role playing as animals?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  …? you mean us furries? why are there so many furries? lol

  if so, the human fascination with animals is ancient. over time we began attributing human traits to their behaviors and started connecting to them on personal and spiritual levels. then when we started making art we depicting those anthropomorphic animals on cave walls.

  furries simply inhabit a persona (fursona) to express themselves behind the security of the confidence being that character gives them. a lot of us feel like our fursona is an ideal representation of ourselves. it helps us connect to our own personhood, strangely.

  it’s also fun and can be sexy if ya want.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People dont believe protesting works if they will only do it on their day off.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  how is it different? it isn’t and that is fine. because you are treating leftists as some kind of side or team when in reality far left “extremism” is largely in response to authoritarian violence and fascism. it is a reaction to oppression, it isn’t an aimless violence or a way to enforce your ideology on to others.

  it is different because we have the moral high ground here. have some respect for your beliefs and agree that you are right. we are on the right side of history and we have to act like it or we are going to fucking lose.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People dont believe protesting works if they will only do it on their day off.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  he may have advocated non-violence but he did not condemn violence. he understood it as an inevitable and necessary response under continued oppression. please don’t whitewash him.

  we are not going to protest our way out of fascism. i hope we all know there is much more to be done.

  also, may i ask a question? you say “is and remains” a marker for life. i am not well read about these things, is that because DMS is only observed as a biosignature here on Earth, or are you saying it couldn’t possibly have a nonbiological origin?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Searching for signs of life on exoplanets is tough.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  oh hey, wonderful. thank you!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Searching for signs of life on exoplanets is tough.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  my guess: there is an exoplanet, K2-18b, that was discovered to have an abundance of detectable biosignatures in its atmosphere. at the time, there wasn’t much in the way of another explanation that didn’t involve life. however, astronomers recently found a failed star that is filled with biosignature molecules… so… ah lol. now perhaps K2-18b has another explanation after all.
