So the US right now is basically a bratty bottom throwing a massive tantrum?
If You count Hudson Bay, then Canada has the most fun.
Alaska is the United States's hand reaching back
so you're telling me if Texas became Canadian it's just Canada giving the US a reacharound ?!
I've said it before and I'll say it again.
Those are tits. Texas is tits. Titxas!!
The Teton Range is in Wyoming.
Where is Mexico?
First time seeing that slur on Lemmy.
Sigh my brain is so fried on Tf2 (i see slurs in chat alot)
So... is it that you think the US was born male or that anyone with tiddies is trans?
Just FYI, a more respectful term would be "transfem person", 'tranny' is a slur that can make many trans people uncomfortable when used
Actually, in the cartography community they've reclaimed the word and now the best practice has flipped. In this context it's short for transcontinental.
i will admit i miss being able to use the word around the auto shop. since i'm not around the auto shop i don't have much opportunity anyways and i'd rather let everyone feel comfortable in the space.
you can pry jenny from my cold dead lexicon tho
Personally, I think there's no real "political correctness". Something is only offensive if you let it have that affect on you. Otherwise, it's a bunch of assumed possible offensiveness worrying someone might get their feelings hurt.
Now, that's not an excuse to be a jerk to people, I'm just saying I feel it's mostly made up as another means of coerced control.

Laws have an effect on people whether they want them to or not. Slurs are a reminder.
If words have a history of always being used in a hurtful and discriminatory way, then it's just awful to use them. That's also why you don't use the n word. While it is "just" a word, why would you just use a word that hurts many people and has awful historical usages.
