I've heard the phrase "gender is a social construct" from a number of prominent trans people. My understanding of this phrase is that the roles and aesthetics we prescribe to men and women in society are "constructed ", and nothing inherently about them is masculine or feminine.
With this, I don't understand what gender dysphoria is. If someone who was "assigned" male at birth told everyone "I'm a woman", why wouldn't that be enough for them? Why would someone who's mtf HAVE to wear dresses and makeup, HAVE to get breast implants, and HAVE to get GRS in order to truly feel like a woman? Wouldn't that then mean that dresses, makeup, and breasts are , to them, are inherently female? Or that a peepee is inherently male?

I'll keep posting this guy here while he keeps posting to /r/WaltDisneyWorld. He's absolutely dominating the subreddit - three of his selfies this month have more upmarseys than the news that beloved ride Muppets 3D is closing down and this will soon be the fourth.
The mods are still working overtime to protect him - they do more work in his threads than every other /r/WaltDisneyWorld thread combined. Comment locks and sneedy mod comments everywhere. OP seems to have free rein to be as toxic as he wants in an otherwise civil subreddit:
How indeed?
I want to get him over here but I don't want to log into my Reddit account again.

We have offered the United States of America the opportunity to outsource part of its prison system.

Over the last few days, we've seen an increase in content in several communities that violate Reddit Rules. Reddit communities are places for civil discussion and are one of the few places online where people can exchange ideas and perspectives. We want to ensure that they continue to be a place for healthy debate no matter the topic. Debate and dissent are welcome on Redditβthreats and doxing are not.
When we identify communities experiencing an increase in rule-violating content, we are taking the following steps as needed:
Reaching out to moderators to ensure they have the support they need, including turning on safety cowtools, reminding mods of our rules, or offering additional moderation support
Adding a popup to remind users before visiting that subreddit of Reddit's Rules
In some cases, placing a temporary ban on the community for 72 hours to enable us to engage with moderation teams and review and remove violating content
Currently /r/WhitePeopleTwitter is under a temporary ban. This means that you will not be able to access this community during this cooling-off period while we work with the mods to ensure it is a safe place for discussion.
We will continue to monitor and reach out to communities experiencing a surge in violative content and will take the necessary actions noted above to ensure all communities can provide a safe environment for healthy conversation.

Wow. 2 million people have viewed my reels in the past 30 days. Is that a lot for some of you? Probably not. To somebody, who just one month ago, bought a new computer brush up on his video editing, and was sitting on a few years of emotionally-charged raccoon footage he didn't think he'd ever get around to? It's fantastic.
Swipe on over to my reels tab to see what I've been working on (I keep them separate from my posts). There's some car stuff, mostly raccoon stuff, and a lot of repeats as I figured out what worked, what didn't, and realized all of the different ways I could cut the footage.
I was pleasantly surprised to see just how much footage I have of One, Two, and Four's short life. It's taken about two years for me to be able to watch it, but now that I have I am so glad I've had the opportunity to share them with the world. They were truly the best raccoons I've ever had, and I've had a lot of raccoons pass through my life. I plan on doing something more long-form with the footage at some point, but my creativity needs a recharge as I'm getting quite frustrated with the process.
For those of you who've endured this somewhat obsessive and absolutely obnoxious episode, I thank you. Things will likely be slowing down now, however, as I'm running out of good footage and time to waste.
Here's hoping somebody brings me some orphaned babies this spring.

On a more serious note, thank you, rDrama for putting up with my bullshit. For a select few of you though, go frick yourselves and just ignore it if you don't like it lmao. My goal for the month was to become a raccoon influencer on IG and goddarn I did it. What have you accomplished this month that was so great?

Holy shit it is bleak. There are three Harry Potter books in there and two Hunger Games books in there in the top 10 best books.
Then you compare it to the best books of the 20th century ( still one harry potter book in there in top 10 but they are still doing way better than the 21st century.
How did the quality of the "greatest" works fall down so quickly. It is like humanity has forgotten how to write anything with any depth anymore and it is all at the level of quality of teenage story writing.
Is it simply over for the writing genre as a whole or is it that the best quality writing is actually no longer being recognized as the best because it didn't sell enough copies nor got enough appreciation from writing critics, or is it that there is a complete disconnect between what the average person considers enjoyable writing and what is considered actually good high brow writing?
I think it is a shift in medium where all the people looking for depth and high quality in their literary works moved on to movies and video games instead and all who are still hanging around the writing genre are those who will pick a random niche and the general books based on lowest common denominator which is teenage angst or teenage wonderment slop.
What this means is that the writing genre is going to keep going further down in quality over time and we need to look at the possible extinction of reading one day if everything turns out to be possible to be done by video because people are clearly getting worse at appreciating literature while getting a whole lot better at their expectations and appreciation of better video entertainment content.
Conclusion:
In terms of ease of entry into the writing department this is the easiest time period. In terms of making money from it, likely one of the harder time periods. We can expect the quality of writing meant for general audiences to have reached the lowest floor and never rise above it again this generation. The Zoom zooms are too r-slurred when it comes to quality writing in just a book.
Also if you still read Harry Potter books, READ ANOTHER BOOK!

I think the one-party system in Chinese style is the best proven political system
With an opinion like that, why should anyone listen to you?
Uh the one party system is not the best proven system. Hitler banned political parties so there was only one. China has authoritarian government. It's unamerican.
Edit: I expect to see more one party system good propaganda.
Darn, who let Elon Musk have a Reddit account?
As a non-American,
Then I do not care of your opinion on America
Hating from outside of the club is crazy.
Especially when it's the party you love so much that's not even going to let you in.
Funny that's how I feel about trumpers, I have no space for them anymore.
Kick rocks.
ur just a troll
Trump is pro pardoning mass murder, pro torture and pro lying...
There is nothing good about trump and ur just trolling by playing the facist here
We will trans everybody you love
Fascism is growing in the US and the World
MAGA is a rapidly advancing Fascist party
We all have seen the events at the inauguration and having different thoughts about what Elon did, but I want to point to what they are doing with policy rather than one moment.
Trump is an Authoritarian leader. He wants control of everything, media, education, the economy, global politics. There will never be a point where he will be satisfied.
Before you know it, project 2025 will not just be the lefts boogie man but an actual threat to our safety and civil rights.
Trump will continue to push the most radical right wing beliefs onto our country until he has full control. One thing at a time, MAGA as a party will tear down each law in favor of the rich and powerful.
MAGA thrives on misinfor.ation and the suppression of education, and it will only get worse. The more you people chose to ignore the more MAGA will take from us. First is was Row V Wade, then it will be birthright citizenship. What about marriage equality? Nothing is off the table for Trump anymore. He's made it clear, but for someone reason, his followers don't speak the same language and misconstrue the truth.
Look, I wanted trump to win the election, but it wasn't because I think he's any kind of good guy. I know he's a whiny, loser pig, though I'm appreciating this more serious Trump over his last iteration..
I wanted Trump to win because I knew we needed some conservative counterbalance back. I'm not a leftist anymore, and it's because I don't agree with all of their positions. They are not my party when they refuse to capitulate to any sort of middle ground, so they have to be forced. I hope conservatives keep it cool, too, or else I'll have to stand against them all over again.
Our politics are not half as simple as they were 20 years ago. It was easy to be a leftist when conservative Christianity was forcing people to deny their own humanity. What I didn't know is that the left is just as capable of acting the same way.
