@aldersprig@tootplanet.space @balrogboogie @cassolotl@dev.glitch.social It's more than just unpleasant; it's counterproductive. If we want "cis" to be a common part of speech, we have to be very careful about when and how we use it pejoratively. When one of the most common uses of the word is part of an expletive, it undercuts the argument that we're just looking for linguistic parity. It puts our text and subtext in conflict.

@KawaSeadrake Personally; Telegram, Mastodon, and meat space. Discord has always made me itchy as a social space but I know it exists. Slack is still there but I sweep half a dozen channels every so often and call it a day.

@Azure Weird. I'll have to go back through that bit. I thought they were making more of a case for it than that, but then, this whole article is a take-down of somebody else's work, so I don't know that I think it's well-suited for positive construction of any particular argument. It feels muddy. "We didn't like what this guy said and here's a whole lot about why." Not really a good platform on which to build a constructive argument.

@Azure The point, I suspect, is that they're trying to advocate for a position that rights are inherent to the person, rather than as a consequence of anything else. They're seeking an argument for inalienability from one's own rights that doesn't depend on either a creator or a relationship to an external force. Most ethicists start with the idea that rights "come from" somewhere, not that they're simply present as part of the innate state of embodied self-awareness.

I just made what amounts to chocolate orange foccacia with orange water icing.

It's weird and good and weird. But good.

Also, that jar of yeast is dead.

@ElectricKeet ... shenanigans.

@katieamazing But... but scales! This is the perfect time and excuse to evolve into the radiant dragonfly or mantid you've always dreamed of being and eat the heads of those that disagree.
