I'm 23, autistic and trans, and I just want Barbie and MLP playdates. It's hard because I want to be with my people, but I also feel embarrassed trying to join a sleepover group. I just want to have a 90s sleepover where we watch a Disney white VHS tape, dolls, pizza, etc. and I want fellow Gen Z's like 21-25 friends

I am convinced that Twitter/TikTok buzzword statements like "men should start in jail and work their way out" or "KAM" is the greatest psyop ever thought. Unfortunately, a teenage boy is not going to have that level of critical thinking. I am a trans woman, but used to be that teenage boy. I used to hate feminism because I seriously thought a random blue checkmark Twitter account saying "I hate men" was equivalent to the movement that fights for women and girls called 'feminism".

I want to date a cis woman as is my preference as a transfem. That obviously rules out straight women and I'm not barking up the lesbian tree. So that means I am left with bi women. What are some things I can do to attract a bi woman partner?

Obviously casual sex does exist. But getting drunk and bringing home a one night stand still requires a ritual, so to say. Swingers also don't just say hello and then have sex, a lot of them know each other.

I'm referring to why people don't have sex the way people go to the movies. I am autistic and don't understand anything except "21+" and "If it's not YES with a smile, it's NO." I don't understand why people don't put up posters saying FREE SEX EVENT the way people put up concert posters for live shows. Why don't friends get in groups of 4 and "score", the way we get in groups of 4 to play video games? If biology told us to get together and bump, why don't we?

People ask why Americans don't strike for months at a time, and a common answer is that they will lose their job and healthcare. But if the strike was sustained and powerful, they wouldn't pay a dime. In the Western world as a whole, it seems people don't want to strike because "they'll end up homeless" like the revolution won't let them live somewhere nice for free.

I'm not shaming them, but why is human psychology so powerful here?

Nobody should own 100 Lamborghinis or go on 12 ski vacations a year. That's the super rich.

As for middle-class liberals, I think a lot of them want an economy for the people and for one full time job covering every living expense under the sun. But I think when they hear "wealth redistribution" and of course the infamous words (especially in America) socialism and communism, there is a Pavlovian response.

An example is my aunt (RIP) up north, she was a Bernie supporter but didn't support socialism. She had a small lake home and a fishing boat as her summer vacation spot and she was worried that if the "socialists" took over, they would "force her to give that up at gunpoint". I would say that a person going fishing at their cabin in Wisconsin can't be equated to a billionaire buying three yachts and five mansions around the world.

I have several family members who are 9-5 white collar workers and they support me as a trans person and my healthcare, but they also don't want a revolution to take away their second cars and their nice possessions like a piano, Ming vase, etc.

Overall, how do we make it understood to the middle class that they can still own nice things, especially in America?

Will there be any events in her memory around Madison? Preferably LGBTQ+ events because those are Dolly's biggest fans 🌈 🤠

I am reuploading this for better wording.

Leftists especially on Reddit have an idea that everyone who joins the US military is complicit in imperialism and war crimes, even if they just signed up to be a cook or medic.

But nobody shames the janitor at United Healthcare, even though they are technically complicit in denying claims and making people go bankrupt from medical bills using that same logic.

Nobody shames a grill cook at McDonald's but using that logic they are technically responsible for animal cruelty, deforestation, and providing free meals to the IDF after October 7th.

All three of these jobs have workers from backgrounds of poverty, and joined out of desperation. So why is the one who joined the military shamed but not the other two?

For example, Francesca Hong lost her race in Wisconsin because of a highly publicized tweet she made saying "Cancel Thanksgiving". AOC is also talking about how Woke 1 failed and ended up alienating voters. However you can have politicians say the most awful things (like Randy Fine and Muslims) and they won't get nearly an iota of backlash.

Can anyone please assure me we're not gonna die in 50 years 😭
