Do you understand how ridiculous it sounds when you say "a gender dysphoria concept that has been around for hundreds of years is fake because colleges need to reprint books"?

This is the very essence of a disingenuous argument. A book does not dictate the absolute meaning of a concept, and likewise the motivation of printing a book does not invalidate the information therein.

That's a pretty absurd notion.

Let's do a mental exercise based on your assertion:

You identify as a man. You were born a man and have always outwardly displayed masculine characteristics. You are in a room with 100 people, and they collectively decide against your will that you are a masculine female and treat you as such.

Are you now a girl because the collective has decided that? Or are you still a man because that's what you have always identified as?

Before you say "100 people does not make a society," the number of people who decide that is irrelevant. Additionally, the reason 'why' they decide you are female is also, according to your logic, irrelevant. It just matters that they all agree.

You still think that gender is imposed on you by society?

You should consider posting that screenshot around the bigger subs that are still resisting. Ask them to repost it as well. Don't go quietly, let the whole site see what lengths the admins are going to for the illusion that everything is fine.

No offense, this is a great site, but the word isn't going to get out from here.

If reddit backpedals, even just for damage control, it will cement just how much power the users and mods have over that site. As it should.

I think that's precisely why spez is going to do everything he can not to backpedal.

Are you surprised? The status quo does not want a new competitor. Unfortunately for us, the easiest way to keep the fediverse down is to not even acknowledge it as an option.

Does spez know that Twitter is hemorrhaging money?

Reddit corporate is trying really hard to shape their community into dollar signs. As long as that remains the goal, I'm not going back.
