This is fascinating. Americans dramatically overestimate size of various minorities.

For example, 30% are Jewish 🤣 actually less than 2%

21% transgender; actual is 1%
30% gay or lesbian; actual is 3%
40% military vet; actual is 6%

A couple of other balloon poppers NOT in the chart:

48% of the population is employed
0.6% work for the federal government
Around 12% work for state and local government

Robert Habeck: „In Deutschland gehört den reichsten 10 Prozent rund 60 Prozent des gesamten Vermögens. Sie haben nicht mit steigenden Mieten zu kämpfen und nicht mit hohen Lebensmittelpreisen. Die treffen vor allem diejenigen, die ohnehin schon jeden Cent umdrehen müssen. Auch deshalb gibt es immer wieder Vorstöße, sogenannte „Superreiche“ auf ihr Vermögen zu besteuern und das Geld für das Gemeinwohl zu nutzen – und ich finde das sinnvoll.“

I've thought a lot about this. It's from the Self Defense Study Guide for Trans Women and Gender Non-Conforming/Nonbinary AMAB Folks.

Aggression (and dominance) is male-coded. Cis women who use it are seen as transcending their gender. They're generally allowed to do that in self-defense.

But trans women who use aggression in self-defense are instead likely to be seen as opportunistically “dropping the act”.

the year is 202X. i wake up, reach for my personal display, and tap through a few interfaces to turn the lights in the room a fluorescent blue. before i can put it down again, the display's news feed immediately reminds me of the corporate warmongers in control of our state. they don't bother me. they don't know i exist.

i sit down for a morning injection. supplies like i have aren't too hard to come by, especially in my on-line networks. with these synthetic oils, i can permanently alter my body into the shape that best fits my situation. i'm unrecognizable to my former self.

my digital assistant relays the weather to me on request, a disembodied voice and false sentience in a disc no bigger than a hockey puck. it's corporate junk i found resold, but it makes my life easier. as i reach for my unwired earphones, the AI reminds me that the shuttle will arrive outside my co-op soon. i hurry downstairs.

"Have you tried... not being #trans? Not this weird #nonbinary thing that I don't get"

Ah, darling, I've been exposed nearly 40 years to intense conversion therapy from all of society, on every level, for all waking hours, and it didn't take. Maybe you should trust me on this when I tell you, since I do this trans nonbinary fem weirdness, for all the fucking bullshit society tries to discourage me, I'm happier, so that works.

And that's more important to me than cis feelings or any understanding you might or might not have. I have now something to fight for, for the first time in my life, and. I. Will.

Technically #TransDayOfRemembrance is now over here, so here's the thing you may want to take away from it: trans people are here now. They are your family, your friends, your lovers.

Don't wait until they're dead to remember them on this day every year. We can't do much for the dead, but you can do a lot for the living. Stand for them even when they're not in the room - no, especially then.

And spend time with the living. They're here now. Don't leave them in these times that for some will grow a lot more awful very soon. #TDoR

A little thought exercise for the bigots on this year's Trans Day of Remembrance

If a person with XY chromosomes who uses she/her pronouns happens to get pregnant and give birth to a healthy baby daughter, what gender is that person?

A) Female
B) Male
C) Both
D) Neither

If you said A: Female, you just proved the existence of XY trans women to yourself.

If you said B: Male, you just proved the existence of pregnant trans men to yourself.

If you said C: Both, you just proved the existence of gender fluid people to yourself.

If you said D: Neither, you just proved the existence of nonbinary people to yourself.

Also, I lied. This isn't actually a thought exercise. This really happened and is documented in several medical journals. (Look it up! Do your own research!) So if you didn't answer any of the above and just dismissed the entire scenario as "woke nonsense", you just proved to yourself that you're a bigot who denies reality because you're too weak to understand it.

"We have the ruby Infinity Ball!" exclaimed Sven, "preventing Dr. Merikh from collecting them all!"

"Wait," said Anika. "Wasn't he after the Five Chalices of Destiny?"

"No," said Kaylitha, "that was Alastar the Vile. Merikh was after the Seven Rings of the Apocalypse."

"Then who's after the Infinity Balls? And how how many maguffin collection quests are we trying to prevent?"

"I've lost count," said Sven. "But the important part is, we stopped someone from getting something!"

POV: Du heißt Chris und arbeitest zu irgendwas mit Digital und Tech.

Bekomme im Schnitt ungefähr drei Mal die Woche Mails, die mich mit "Herr Köver" anreden.

In meiner Signatur steht schon: "Redakteurin", auch mein Pronomen (sie). Hilft alles nicht. Die Kombi aus dem Thema plus männlich gelesenem Namen scheint alle anderen Signale zu überstrahlen.

Leute, wenn ihr nicht sicher seid, wie ihr jemanden anreden sollt: schaut mal in die Signatur. Wenn da nichts steht: Einfach "hallo + name".
