  • I have tried to get my point across before, but was labeled a transphobe. I have no issue with trans people and wish them all the best in their pursuit of happiness. I understand the issue they face: Society put them in one of two gender categories, and they don’t feel that’s where they belong. That’s a valid issue in my eyes.

    I just don’t really see the current approach fixing this. Its like we saw that there was an issue with racism, but instead of abolishing it, we added more categories like “race-fluid”.

    In my eyes, the root issue is the concept of gender identities, and how big a role they play in our day to day lifes. Why does the way people address me (sir/madam, he/she) depend on my gender identity? Why does every form I fill out ask for my gender identity? Why are so many things separated by gender?

    I’d like to see a post-gender society, where we don’t need pronouns. Where there is no concept of gender identity, because everyone is just themselves.

    Instead of staying inside the box, adding classification after classification, I think we should leave the box and stop assigning a gender identity to every one of us.



  • You are probably referring to the recent statements of Masoud Pezeshkian.

    I consider them to be mostly political rhetoric, nothing has really changed. Iran has been in a hybrid war with NATO and Israel pretty much since the islamic revolution. This conflict does flare up every now and then, for example in June of this year, or at the beginning of 2020. So far though, it never turned into a total war, and I don’t see why it would be different this time.

    I’m annoyed by the notion that our bodies somehow need animal protein to build muscles. What we need is a specific mix of amino acids. Animal proteins generally provide a similar mix, but that just means that eating meat is the easy route. It is definitely possible to mix plant proteins to provide our bodies with everything they need (at least in terms of proteins).

    And honestly, I’m just tired of animal suffering, man.





  • Ein Feiertag ist ein Feiertag, ob man frei hat oder nicht. Und ich weiß nicht was verkehrt daran sein soll, jemandem frohe Tage zu wünschen, bzw inwiefern “angenehme” Tage besser sein sollen als “frohe”.

    Aber: you do you, boo. Ist jetzt nicht so als wär eine Phrase in meinen Augen besser/schlechter als die andere.







  • At least as I read it, “touching grass” doesn’t mean “pretend everything is fine”, but instead “get away from the screen. Stop digging deeper and deeper into news feeds, online arguments and ‘theory’. Go outside, live in the real world and do something.”

    That can also mean fully dedicating yourself to helping those in need and fighting for a more just world.
