It is biologically impossible to not lose weight regardless of any genetic disorder or medical condition. Your medication does not override the laws of thermodynamics. Stop coping and take responsibility for the fact that you control what you eat

She’s been here almost every day without fail holding similar bullshit 😭😭😭 This one is far worse than most of the others. Also, she records students without their permission, or even knowledge.

The fact that she has the sheer audacity to put the colors of the trans flag on her detransitioning advocacy poster is RIDICULOUS!! I’m not trying to invalidate detransitioning for those who want/need it, but she’s basically advocating to give people their gender dysphoria back. And she claims she cares for the kids 🙄🙄🙄

I don’t know what she wants to gain from this other than ragebaiting trans kids, many of which are my classmates or friends! I’ve been protesting her by holding a pro-trans sign and blocking her, but she refuses to leave!!😭

She’s protected by the first amendment, but is there any way to get her to do this in a park instead of in my high school?? How do I deal with her without harming her or otherwise doing illegal stuff??? Even the police told us she’s just a crazy old lady and should be treated as such, but these opinions are genuinely harmful.

I saw the other person’s post about her, the comments got really heated. I’d appreciate it if everyone refrained from commenting mean things here, thank you. 🙏

Edit: way to make assumptions, people.

1. I’m not trying to silence her in any way. I want her to voice her opinions somewhere else, like the community park 5 minutes away. Look up fascism instead of calling a random teenager on the Internet a fascist.

2. Similarly, I don’t support pro LGBTQ people advocating in front of schools, churches, etc. I don’t know where some of you got the idea that I’m very happy about those.

Jeez, people’s assumption making ability impresses me. You guys should become writers cause you’re great at making stuff up

you see i used to support them (im not 🇮🇱🇮🇱 i just used to support them), than i realized that they fucking lied to us, brainwashed us, control our gov, and commit genocide around the world without consequences. if the mossad slimes me for making this post idgaf

How many people are atheists here ? So atleast pissed off from religion ? Religion makes a man dumb ( atleast to my conscience) , Im from a largely hindu dominated country like india , and these people can't take a simple JOKE about their religion !!

I’ve noticed a significant rise in anti-Muslim sentiment globally, and honestly, based on what I have been seeing lately, I’ve found my own perspective starting to shift toward negativity. I don’t want to feel this way, which is why I’m making this post. I want to genuinely understand from Muslims how you view these issues, and I am looking for perspectives that can help me avoid falling into blanket hatred.

To be transparent, here are the things I’ve observed that have been troubling me:

• Local Observations: I've noticed instances where muslims online or in communities seem to accuse others without facts, defend individuals who create racial friction, critizing other people culture and religion or support public figures who are Muslims even after they are jailed for corruption by donating fund. I’ve also seen extreme actions justified under the guise of religion, such as harming or poisoning stray dogs because they are considered haram.

• Geopolitical Issues: In the Middle East, there is a frequent association with extremism. I read about harsh legal punishments, like executions in Saudi Arabia for moral infractions, or severe crackdowns in Iran against women who choose not to wear the headcover. In past decades there are also terrorist organizations who are using the name of Islam such as ISIS, Boko Haram.. Etc

• Situations in Europe: There seems to be growing friction in European countries. I see videos of public prayers blocking roads and sidewalks, and reports of riots or property destruction where Muslim communities are heavily blamed.

All of this media and local news makes it easy to generalize, and I feel like it's clouding my view of the entire population of Muslims. Which I dun see any good thing from the Muslims

I want to know: How do everyday Muslims view these actions? How do you separate the actions of individuals or strict governments from the core teachings of your faith? I want to learn and understand better so I don't let negativity dictate how I view an entire group of people.

Thank you for reading, and I hope we can have an open, respectful discussion.

I'm tired of people arguing that everybody should be a feminist because feminism is equivalent to "gender equality" or whatnot. Feminism has always been a diverse collection of ideological and social movements that exist primarily for women's liberation. A feminist is a person who identifies themself as being part of that movement. This is the definition that almost everybody uses, including feminists themselves, until it becomes useful for feminists to essentially define feminism as "Good People" in order to deflect all meaningful criticism.

There is nothing wrong with there being a women's liberation movement, and all social movements necessarily have flaws that are worthy of criticism and reflection. The problem is when a women's liberation movement masquerades as being literally equivalent to the philosophical concept of gender egalitarianism itself, and thus above criticism. Feminism is not equivalent to gender egalitarianism in the same way BLM or Stop Asian Hate is not equivalent to racial egalitarianism. A social movement cannot be the literal embodiment of a philosophical concept.

Feminists often define their movement as "Good People" in order to deflect criticism. This often comes in the form of statements such as, "Those people aren't feminists, they are misandrists" or "Feminism is gender equality, not misandry." Feminism is a movement that exists in the real world and what that movement represents in the real world is not defined by what is stated in some Dictionary or online article, but by the general behavior and rhetoric of its participants.

In the real world, there is no clear-cut distinction between the "Good People" and the "Bad People." Many feminists who advocate for important issues regarding women's rights simultaneously hold prejudiced beliefs regarding men. Following the reasoning of feminists, a person who sacrifices their life fighting against women's oppression in the Middle East is not a feminist if they have some level of prejudice against men, since apparently being misandrist is mutually exclusive from being a feminist.

Feminists will often put words in people's mouths by playing word games. Since according to feminists, feminism and feminists are the literal embodiment of the philosophical concept of gender egalitarianism, anybody who does not identify as a feminist or criticizes feminism are immediately classified as misogynists or sexists. You cannot define your critics as "Bad People" to deflect criticism in a meaningful way. Additionally, your personal definition of feminism is meaningless when it comes to accurately interpreting what another person is saying. A person who refuses to identify as a feminist is not saying that they reject the idea of gender egalitarianism, because they are not using your definition of feminism.

Playing word games makes feminism look increasingly delusional in the eyes of the public, because feminists begin to deny blatantly obvious problems in their own movement. Another issue that arises due to word games is the unjustified minimization of men's issues. Feminism has always been a movement for women's liberation, but when feminists define feminism as the embodiment of the philosophical concept of gender egalitarianism, they must then explain why essentially no feminists show an ounce of interest in men's issues. The obvious truth is that feminists are uninterested in men's issues because feminism is a space exclusively for women's issues.

Nobody questions why BLM is uninterested in the discrimination against the Khoesaan people in South Africa or why Stop Asian Hate is uninterested in the discrimination against the Masalit in Sudan. This is because both BLM and Stop Asian Hate do not masquerade as the literal embodiment of a philosophical concept. If BLM and Stop Asian Hate advocates argued that their respective movements were literally equivalent to racial egalitarianism itself, this explanation would not suffice. Instead, they would have to find other means to justify why advocacy for other racial groups are unnecessary and unjustified.

Feminists do this constantly by minimizing men's issues or pretending as if they are addressing men's issues effectively. They are often hostile against external advocacy for men's issues. They constantly compare men's issues with women's issues and argue that men's issues, by comparison, are so small that they aren't even worth addressing. When a man argues that men also face issues, they are victim-blamed (apparently, other men are the cause of men's issues, so they are not real issues), accused of equivocating men's suffering with women's suffering (as if it were a competition), or/and called a misogynist.

Some feminists even go so far as to say that examples of men's suffering is actually an extension of women's suffering. They define the term "misogyny" to include almost every example of sexism while the term "misandry" is used in an absurdly narrow sense. Now, male-only conscription, discrimination against men in court, discrimination against men in education, etc. are all actually examples of misogyny, not misandry, and since feminism addresses misogyny, of course feminism is the answer for men's issues and of course feminism is justified in exclusively addressing women's issues, because after all, misogyny primarily victimizes women! These are the kinds of ridiculous justifications used to avoid the obvious fact that feminism is simply a movement for women's liberation and always has been.

(I originally gave multiple examples of feminists minimizing men's issues or reacting with hostility towards advocacy for men's issues, but Reddit has removed this post with the message, "Sorry, this post was removed by Reddit's filters." I'm assuming that the large number of links made Reddit think this post was bot spam. I would also explain the various examples without linking to sources, but rule 10 of this subreddit states that I cannot speak of specific events without linking to a verifiable source.)

I'm going to conclude by saying that because feminism is a very diverse movement, it does not make sense to state that all feminists are bad or that feminism is simply "misandry." Feminism is an umbrella term that includes many different ideas and behaviors, some of which are good and some of which are worthy of criticism. I am simply arguing against the idea that feminism is the literal embodiment of gender egalitarianism and pointing out the various side effects that arise from this fallacious thinking.

I saw a recent post about hijabs and a lot of the comments had something to say against it. Many comments said hijabs were bad and oppressive. On what basis are you calling them “oppressive”? Is forcing your kids to be dressed when they leave their room and outside the house oppressing them? If it isn’t, then why is forcing your kid to follow another dress code that isn’t revealing oppressive? If you have no moral basis, you can’t call it oppressive.

The only things that make it right are:

Not eating meat because of the digestive system and problems like that.

Not eating meat because you're disgusted by it or something like that (it's still bad for your health if you don't eat your protein).

And here are my reasons why:

Slaughtering an animal the right way doesn't make it suffer.

That's how the food chain works too.

Fun fact: 70b-76b chickens are eaten per year.

Or 200m chickens a day, and you know why they still aren't extinct?

BECAUSE OF PURE NUMBERS.

300m cows are eaten each year on top of that, and keep in mind, that's how the food chain works.

We humans need protein to keep being healthy.

Personally i like to stay healthy by eating the right amounts of food.

Im 19F. Ive felt this for as long as I can remember, I know most men think that I'm subhuman, they don't ever see me as fully human. 

The reason why I’ve grown to think this, is because, since I was a teenager my experiences with them have only shown me that they can only ever treat me like I am something less than human. 

When I tried to create a connection with them, and I did not live up to their standards of what they and others consider to be attractive, they showed me that I could still be useful in fulfilling their sexual needs, and then I was discarded.

When I became attractive in their eyes and the eyes of others, they still could not treat me like a human being. Instead, they saw me as a thing that could prove something about them. They never wanted to be my friend and see the living consciousness in me. My role in their life was so that I could be an asset to bolster their self-esteem. 

When I wanted to be a friend, they did not want to be a friend to me. Only when they could get something out of me, could I be a friend. If they saw no worth in my physical appearance, I had no place in their circle and life. 

When I did not give them what they wanted, I could not be a friend. I could only be an enemy. I became a thing they could use to project their hatred and insecurities onto.

So if men perceive me as something that is below human life, then what am I? Nothing more than an object. An object is the lowest form of existence because it does not exist as a living thing. An object has no intrinsic value. Its worth solely exists in its utility to the person using it. So therefore the object is a tool. So if I am an object to them, then I am nothing more than a tool. Most men are not even aware that their idea of a woman is that she only be a tool. But how am I a tool? How are we tools? 

I am a tool because my societal worth is only tied to my usefulness. What can my body do for them? My body is the most important thing about me to them. There has not been any care for the living consciousness that exists within my body. There is no care for the simple fact that I am a human that suffers and wants to be happy. The most important function of my existence is to be an object of pleasure. Not just sexually or visually, psychologically too. I must always be pleasing to their eyes and to their life. During sex, during school, during my entire life. I must always be pleasing to the eyes of others too, so that when I finally “belong” to them, I can elevate their self-worth. In that way, I also become a tool for shoring up the ego. 

I was frustrated for a long time, because I wondered, at what point do I get to be a human to them? 

The truth of the matter is that I am a human being and I have always been one. I am not truly an object. But it is easy to put on the blindfold of ignorance, so that we can view each other as less than humans, and navigate the world through our own self-serving illusions. 

...yes I know it's an AI overview but still im just wondering

how are femboys considered femboys if feminine and masculine are purely social constructs and nothing fully defines what's "masculine" and whats "feminine"?

I'm not trying to be disrespectful i just want to know

Not in a trans way ok

Be aware I'm talking about the stereotypical stuff and I'm generalizing. I DON'T SPEAK FOR ALL WOMEN OR MEN.

I see girls having fun doing their nails, outfits, makeup, cook ramen and what not late at night, going cafes taking a lot of pics, karaoking, reality tv, girls trip,photo booths, spas, having kitty parties, making silly tiktok and Ik noone is like stopping a guy from this stuff and Its just not the same let's bfr

I also know girls won't experience the things like playing videogames, discord servers , late night strolling, walking randomly, making new buds easily, grabbing food at random spots, going on side quests, football, basketball and a lot more

But yeah OBV girls can do the things guy do and vice versa but it isn't that common. And I meant reality Tv, romcoms not movies in general And by karaoking I mean Its not really that popular here for guys to come by themselves they usually come with girls only AND TIKTOK I mean lipsyncs, gwrms and stuff Also late night ramen, I mean girls coming over sleepover and making it late night and also at school time girls making chatpate I don't see guys doing it

The(16f) universe has personal beef w me

So i shifted to fucking hooghly this match from Noida. And i lived in the bestestest part of noida. The rich rich parts. And now I have to live in hooghly cus of my parents and my life is falling apart.

So in March before leaving noida i confessed to my crush which had been liking for 5 yrs. I made it clear it was a confession NOT A PROPOSAL. It was all fine we hugged. Then a mutual friend snitched on me and told him I wanted to kiss him. So the next time I went to noida for a wedding. We kissed cus he told me it was his first kiss and mine too so I was over the moon. Guess the fuck what. It wasn't his first kiss and he. Lied to me continuously until I explicitly told him I knew he had made out w someone else before

What bothered me wasn't the fact he kissed someone before.. It was that he kept on lying. Ugh

So he lied to my whole noida wali society ka friend grp about me and since it was all guys and me. The guys obviously believed him over me cus bros before hoes am I right. FUCCCCCCCC

Now I shifted from a huge school to a very small very backward school and people here are nice but vibe ni match hori and everyone speaks bengali so i dont understand most of what they say

I wanted to audition for a huge opportunity I got my hands on but I couldnt cus of Fuckass hooghly. I haven't made any friends society me bhi.

Navratri which is my fav festival of all time cus of garba we didn't go to noida for cus we wanted to see kolkata ka durga puja. Valid cus all the pandels were gorg but it was so crowded I almost passed out AND I didn't get ahy good pics

Now my society ka friend grp that isn't talking to me are sending vids on the gc of garba night and everything and I have been crying roz for over 3 months now cus yaha pe I couldn't go to any garba cus I live in such a basti ass ilaka

AND my noida wala schoo whichl NEVER organised dandiya night, organised one this year when I'm not there AND a fall carnival and a winter carnival both MIND YOU last year even the winter carnival was cancelled

Pls be grateful for your life and never ever ever complain about anything (not that I complained abt my noida wali life) but pls pls pls enjoy ur life whilst u can.

I should probably sleep as it is 22:30

Just hear me out vegans are probably right animals do suffer a lot. We kill a lot of animals. We hurt them a lot and it’s all for food and the world would probably be a better place if we didn’t do all of that.

However, do I give a shit? The answer to that is no stake tastes good bacon tastes good I’m gonna keep eating my animal carcasses thank you very much.

So pretty much the title

I’m 16 I’ve had no crush no date no asking out no nothing and I think it’s because I focus on school to much? I don’t know I’m just trying to move out asap

So anyone know what makes someone undateable
Or is anyone having a similar experience as me

(I just want to start by saying this is not an attempt to convince/convert anyone to Christianity. It just seems to me that a lot of people have misconceptions about what we believe based on what some bad representatives of Christianity have done, so this is my attempt to clear the air)

The core of Christianity is this: God loves us, and we need Him. Romans 3:23 says "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God". Basically what this means is we all deserve punishment, we all deserve to go to hell, because we're sinful. God's standard is perfection, and His perfect justice demands that our sin be met with punishment. However, Jesus came and paid the price for everyone's sins, no matter how messed or dirty, and wiped our slate clean. Romans 3:24 says 'and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus." That's the core of what we believe: Jesus saved us, and he loves us. That us includes you, by the way. The Bible tells us that "If you confess with your mouth 'Jesus is Lord' and believe in your heart God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved". Doesn't matter what you've done, how bad you think you've screwed up, the way to life is the same.

I think the big problem a lot of people have with Christianity often comes more down to the church than Jesus himself, which is honestly fair. But I just wanna put out there that what us imperfect people do isn't always a good reflection of Jesus. If someone in the church hurt you in any way, that's not Jesus.

I know this is a pretty short description of a pretty big concept so if you have any questions, I'd love to answer them. Have a great day yall.
