I was thinking about that the other day, the moral dilemma of whether you'd kill baby Hitler. But then I realized suddenly that you don't have to kill baby Hitler at all. You can just kidnap him away to some other family or any number of other non-baby-killing interventions.

The character in the first panel of that meme is Tomoko Kuroki from the anime "Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaetemo Omaera ga Warui!", commonly shortened to "Watamote".
This is my punishment for trying to avoid making a post just to ask what show this is from.
Is that soil? The bags say cow manure. (I don't know a hell of a lot about gardening. Maybe that's functionally the same thing??)
Also they're at Lowe's.
But they have a red curtain and everything.
Did you? They spent the whole post arguing that a trans woman is not a woman. To clarify, a cis woman and a trans woman are different things. Both of these things are women. Cis and trans describe the women.
Some trans women may identify with having once been a man, but it's hardly the case for all of them, especially the ones who recognized their mistaken assignment early. She was always herself. She was never a man unless she herself identified as one.
The wording "used to be a man" and "used to have a penis" makes me wonder if this person is using genital surgery as a determining factor. It's thankfully becoming very acceptable these days to be a girl with a penis or boy with a vagina, so that such surgeries are more of a personal decision rather than a means of legitimizing oneself to society.
Scientific studies also use male and female in reference to human subjects' gender identities. Woman and female are both incredibly old terms which have been used interchangeably as there was no widespread concept of gender identity in the English-speaking world until recently. We had to invent the term "gender identity" to separate gender from sex because they'd previously been used to refer to the same thing.
You seem to be saying that a trans man is female because he was assigned the female sex at birth. Have I understood that correctly?

Women penguins only sounds weird because that's not the normal word for it. They're girl penguins or lady penguins. "Woman" feels too formal and human.
Well, they're right that it is pretty simple. Here's a fun experiment for anyone who thinks this isn't transphobic: try reading it again, but substitute black for trans. Totally reasonable they should have to use another bathroom, right?
I agree, but that argument doesn't do anything for people who don't really care about the animals' suffering if it means they get to enjoy meat. They understand what they're doing and have made the informed choice that they're okay with the arrangement. If you want them to stop torturing animals you're going to have to find them another way to get meat or you're going to have to kill them.
So is Sitting Bull. Swedish confectionery isn't terribly woke.

I don't understand blue even after knowing the answer.
There's already so many animals out there that only eat one specific type of leaf for whatever reason, and it's not to do with lack of other leafs. I never thought about it before, but it makes sense in hindsight.
