You said:

Sometimes the software does not reflect the hardware.

If gender is the software and the body is the hardware, this is kind of the “born in the wrong body”-stuff many people still use and it implies that there is a kind of hardware/software combination that fits together and a kind of combination that does not.

Could be because I reported it for being discriminating towards non-binary people because you negated their existence.

And it breaks my heart every time I hear yet another story of someone killing their own passion, numbing themselves down to the point that they become unable to enjoy what they formerly loved, just to “fit in” a society that doesn’t accept deviation from the perceived norm.

Yeah I feel like that was an issue for me as well and one of the reasons I either repressed or resented parts of myself for a long time. And I’m glad the journeys I had the last couple of years (the one I described in the post and also the journey of overcoming depression) not only helped me accept those parts of myself, but be happy and proud that I have them.

You make some very good points imo

Nah, I don’t subscribe to that analogy because it still implies that there are “male” bodies and “female” bodies when I think every woman’s body is by definition a female body and every man’s body is by definition a male body.

Wow, you are so enlightened shitting on non-binary people like that and denying them their gender experience /s

I’m German, so I’m probably kissing former European Left Party President and current MP Gregor Gysi.

• I don’t want to sexually assault anyone, and I think he would find it funny more than anything else
• I don’t want to do it maliciously to like make someone look bad and with his demeanor everyone will be like “it’s nice how chill he handled that”
• I think he did important work so I wouldn’t at all mind being seen with him in public

The only real other option would be Green Party MP Bruno Hönel because he’s the only gay MP I find cute and maybe I can sneak his number…

which is why it won’t happen as long as capitalism exists

But it’s not about that for many people. For many people, being religious is more about finding strength and peace in that kind of guided spirituality

fuck off. I did all of that shit at times when I was depressed and guess what, I just wanted to die even more because eating healthy is so much work
