The most worrying thing is that I think they do believe (a form of) it. They believe their god is helping them maintain power, and is helping people.

They just don’t see us as ‘people’.

“That’s not true! … Who told!?”

I remember that the vice principal of our Christian high school was annoyed with us saying ‘gosh darn’, and made the mistake of telling us, “If you’re going to say ‘gosh darn’, you might as well say ‘god damn’, because that’s what you really mean, and the Lort knows your heart.”

… We all just started flat-out saying ‘god damn’ like we were told.

If the house did not have power, do you think the neighbors would notice that their house was never lit up at night?

If you think they noticed, how difficult would it be for someone to go in, turn on the propane and leave?

Joss said he left the house to go eat earlier on Thursday and thought he had turned everything off. He said he had been using a propane heater in the home for warmth. “Mistakes happen, man. And it’s my fault for, I guess, leaving something on,” Joss said. “Or if somebody came in and did something, who knows?”

He didn’t say he was the one who did it. He said it basically doesn’t matter because his dogs were dead, and that’s really what he cared about.

Well, did you kill your parents when you came of age? You can be free from someone without killing them.

Also relevant - you can’t smell porn. Everyone has a scent, especially when doing a physical activity.

You KNOW there’s a brothel that constantly brews polyjuice. Bring in a hair from the person you’re attracted to, and have sex with (someone who looks exactly like) them!

You can even obliviate the polyjuice’d person afterwards and leave no evidence behind. Consent in the wizarding world is beyond fucked.

Oh, an email from outside the department demanding confidential reports?

Marks as spam

I should not be involved with people who turn a blind eye to fascism.

Full stop.

I’m sorry to say that you already know what you have to do. There’s no easy way to do it other than to just do it. If it makes the process easier, you don’t have to pose it as “it’s me or them” because you already know what his answer will be. If he was going to change, he’s had plenty of opportunities already.

Don’t wait for him anymore. Live YOUR life.

That’s an interesting wikipedia article - that’s the first time I’ve seen [failed verification] on a citation, let alone two. You learn something new every day.

There were multiple assassination attempts.

TYT telling the trans woman on staff that “Ana knows better than she does about how to help the trans community” was the final straw for me. You don’t get to silence a minority group by saying you’re doing it for their benefit.

The subsequent doubling down of “actually we’re the victims here!” was just confirmation.

I’m diagnosing a problem

Were you clearly diagnosed with clinical depression?

Lmfao, such detective work.

You realize you’re doing the “lazy doctor” routine right now, right?

You already decided on an answer and when confronted with a discrepancy, you decided that your understanding is correct and this specific situation is the outlier.

That’s the exact same thought process you’re complaining about.

You’re absolutely right. It’s hard for me to switch out of using ‘TERF’ because it offended them, but no one is even pretending to be a feminist anymore. I need to find a new shorthand name for “bigoted towards trans people specifically”.

Seriously. Delay it as long as you can before demanding that they fire you.

Alternate title: TERFs suddenly demand people respect their chosen names

I think this is too specific, as you mentioned. Why not broaden it to “a piece of literature they were not required to read”? You could talk about anything from wikipedia articles, to current news headlines or sci-fi books this way, and it shows where their curiosity lies.

How about “Pinto” - President in name/title only?

Since it’s vaguely related to Hispanic food, it’ll upset him more.
