someone with a developmental disability in which they mentally remain very much a child for their whole life

Adults with down syndrome are not “mentally children”. Some people with down syndrome are able to live and function independently, and even among those who don’t, they are disabled adults with higher support needs, not children. Being disabled doesn’t stop time from passing, disabled people still fucking age.

and you know what else? People with down syndrome are perfectly capable of having consensual sex. Because they’re grown fucking adults who can think for themselves. To declare them children does them a disservice and robs them of their autonomy

Segregation in the United States lasted long enough for separate dialects of English to form.

dude, european jews were segregated so long that new languages formed

Yes it’s awesome and sexy. Don’t be a weenie.

Does every post you make need to have some random-ass image

this is kind of ridiculous. do you realize how broad a term “disability” is? my parents have poor eyesight and need glasses. are they bad people for having kids when they knew we would inherit that?

I’ve seen white europeans be like “I’ve never encountered any racism in europe!” Well that is because you are white

Sex is a lot more complicated than male/female. There’s a bunch of different sex characteristics that make up “sex” and people can have all sorts of different combinations of them. If you just use a male/female binary, that doesn’t tell people what sex characteristic you’re referring to. Maybe something affects people based on chromosones, in which case people who are xy but otherwise “female” (like with cais) would go in the “male” category and vice versa. Or maybe something affects people based on hormones, in which case transgender people taking hrt would have to be categorized based on that. If you say “male/female”, no one knows if you’re talking about hormones, or genitals, or chromosones, or gonads, or whatever else, so it’s best to be specific and use language like “people with [body part]”

People with vaginas is the right terminology if discussing something that pertains to vaginas. Eg. “People with vaginas should make sure to see a gynecologist regularly.” in this case, saying “women” would exclude/misgender many trans and intersex people who have vaginas but are not women, while also including some women who do not have vaginas and would not need to see a gynecologist

Not me but really funny - when my mom was little she thought white people weren’t real. She thought they were made up for tv

Some company got sued or smth for ignoring gpc and it was ruled to legally count as opting out of data sharing

The mcdonalds app is a scam to get you to agree to their arbitration clause

It’s not perfect, but it is an indicator. I mean if I heard someone talking with say a chinese accent I’d probably assume their race is asian.

You’ve never heard of an accent?

White people are so obsessed with blaming an optgroup like what about all the white guys that voted for him

It would probably also be against the TOS for Voyager (Jerboa actively prevents it’s use with anything other than Lemmy, even if the API is the same).

nothing like that in voyager terms

It’s true I can coopt an entire concept into the transgender agenda by making a single meme. Everything you love is now transgender.

I’m just from tumblr we don’t do that over there

yeah but 1. You can just look at what posts they boost. 2. Why are your follows still visible if you hide them in privacy settings 3. Why is there no way to publically show who you’re following without also showing who’s following you

A while ago there was an interview on the radio with this guy who was complaining no women would date him because he was pro life. He was whining about how it was just politics and politics were like the least important thing in the world and we should all get along but he was still gonna vote for trump
