- I watched Sailor Moon every damn morning
- I always played as Nina at Tekken on the Playstation 1
- I watched Xena: Warrior Princess all the damn time

I must be extremely trans right?

I couldn't reduce myself of picking the Princess on Super Mario Bros 2 though.

her hover ability is the only reason I chose her. princess privilege.

Ah yes, the same newspaper which when criticised for biased coverage by Palestinian members in the Israel genocide thread resulted in every single one of them being banned. Some of those members left Era permanently. Shame on you B-Dubs.

Update on noodle! 

Demonstration team came after 30 minutes. We will all be getting interim suspensions. Some of us are not going to graduation, be able to take finals, etc. And we lose access to all campus facilities.

Police will be coming in 30 minutes. See y'all on the other side.

I have a feeling we're gonna get a lot of trans mafia lore here.

Yep lol

As a kid I wanted to be Samus Aran and told my friends and my mom about it. They thought it was weird I'd want to be a girl character. Jokes on them, I became a girl later.

User Banned (3 Months): Dismissing Transphobia; Prior Serious Ban

I'd say you can safely ignore the dramatic cries of "don't move to TERF island," the average person doesn't really care and ultimately this is one of the most LGBTQ+ friendly countries in the world, certainly one of the most in Europe.

My girlfriend is currently undergoing the process of coming here on a working holiday visa, based on your replies in this thread that would be your best option. You're young so you can get away with just coming here and enjoying yourself a couple of years, work in the service sector etc.

Not the best of times but still a great country. Generally quite friendly and welcoming, which is what you want as an expat. Live in the north, it's much cheaper than the south. Weather is the worst of it but Europe is a £20 return flight away.

Dismissing transphobia? Christ all he did was give an accurate picture of what average people think over here. That’s not dismissing transphobia. It’s dismissing Ree’s hysteria.

I know I'm nutty in part because my whole thing is the history of political thought and ideology and I hate the whole "you didn't read the canon" elitism this is going to come off as but jesus fucking christ have these people not read anything feminist and "left-wing" (in the historical sense) in their entire lives. They've skimmed some tumblr repeating what the person thinks they remember from some piece of shit some professor had them read in a garbage gender studies course. But it's all this binary essentialism based around these very negative personal emotions and hangups about concepts they refuse to grant any nuance to but desire to make relevant to their feeling that they live in the eschaton of existence and will not just witness but be a part of (through posting and watching YouTube videos) the Grand Battle after the Second Coming. So now your every choice flaps the wings of the butterfly that dictate reality itself downstream with none of the premises or steps inbetween analyzed in any rational or reasonable manner, just massive leaps from unexamined premises to nonsensical conclusions.

It's this relentless neurotic anxiety searching for an externalized meaning tied to a personality and mindset that truly has no interest in real searching or understanding or learning, that rejects the complexity of reality for this bold moral binary of children's fiction that reinforces a natural egotistical superiority of the self so you never have to question anything thanks to the righteousness of your pure intentional will. Who needs to really approach things with learning and error and skepticism in mind when you have the unbending certitude that you ought to be both omniscient and omnipotent so what is to be done is always clear and unquestionable so only need be done without resistance? (Yes, an inverse.)

they're a bunch of daft cunts and no mistake

Why is their style always the one of like 50 year old women on a night out? Surely when they set out to be the other gender that surely couldn't be the goal?

As someone who watched his country burn into the ground by Islamic extremists, I feel so deeply sorry for the Western world. Hopefully you guys still have some sane people who could fix the issue. The "fixing" might not look pleasant to you, but it is a necessity and comes at a hefty price for those doing it.
God bless them.

If you have access to someone from Iranian diaspora, please talk to them. Ask them about the 1979 revolution, and all the shit that happened before and after it. Watching these protests is like watching 1979 revolution footages in HD. You think you are doing the right thing, but you are just being used for an evil cause. Seeing Hams/Hezbollah/IRI flags on US soil was unfuckingbelievable. I know I am in the extermely small minority here and this post might get me banned, but I wish you all good luck. You guys need it.

From their demands

Cut ties with Caterpillar, a company known to have relations with ISU, who also manufactures bulldozers used to destroy Palestinian homes.
3. BAN- Israeli companies, weapons companies (as listed in 1), and their subsidiaries from campus.
4. BOYCOTT- Complete academic divestment from militarized Israeli institutions that are currently aiding the ongoing genocide in Gaza and historically complicit in Apartheid including Tel Aviv University, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Haifa University, and Global E3's Tehcnion. This included any study abroad programs.
5. DISCLOSE- Complete transparency with students, staff, and faculty about University investments and spending.
6. THAWABIT- Release a statement in support of ISU's Palestinian student body and recognize the inviolable national rights of the Palestinian people, the Thawabit:
a. The right to self determination
b. Jerusalem as the capital of Palestine
c. The right of colonized people to resist against the occupation
d. The right of Palestinian refugees to return
We look forward to hearing from the university and working to improve ISU's standing in the ongoing crisis in Palestine.

Cool, so they want the university to state october 7th was justified

Two university officials as well as a cop threatened us with arrests if we didn't take down our tents + any signage we had displayed at 7 in the morning. Those who stayed overnight had to comply since they didn't have the numbers to resist (which was expected given the size of our school).

Curious to see if we're going to remobilize or not; the university seems adamant about shutting us down without first listening to our demands, but we simply do not have the numbers to pressure them otherwise.

Christ. Is there any press presence there?

Yes, there's one really fucking awesome press guy who stayed with us. He's getting arrested as well.

No video.

Your first sentence says a lot and what it says is you lack the ability to speak about this with nuance. Your last sentence also says a lot and what it says is you're patronizing as hell.

Also, the implications of your comments on "fixing the issue" are disturbing. If you mean what I think you mean, you're the one who needs the fucking luck.

We were joking they would stan Iran but they actually do

Stay safe and see you when youre back. Youre a legend. I hope they drop charges on you and your peers.

[HaughtyFrank]

They're literally demanding that universities state that Hamas actions are justified resistance and then turn around and act all "what do you mean Hamas? :0

Ive been exposed to the pro-israeli pro-monarch iranian diaspora and their genocidal perspective towards Gazans and its interesting to know theres someone here who shares that POV.

I think it would have been interesting to hear your perspective further but equating student protestors with kkkhhhhhamas and assuming theyre being used and brainwashed shows theres nothing worthwhile to discuss.

[benji]

I hope they drop charges on you and your peers.

uwu please dwop charges fascist genocidal state 

[Gameboy Nostalgia]

I hope they don't drop charges and also suspend them because a protest without sacrifice is pointless. People in Gaza are dying and if you're not willing to sacrifice your future you're not an ally.

Begging administration to take it easy on you makes you look like toothless bandwagoners but I guess that's what 90% of the protestors are.

[Jonsey]
