How is that about her bullying the kid? It’s extremely telling whenever someone posts something like an 18 second video that it’s being taken wildly out of context. Here is the larger section from that actual speech:

It bothers me so much that Adam Baldwin is such an idiotic asshole, because Firefly was so gorram good. Dammit Baldwin why do you have to be such an ass on the internet?

I think the part people overreacted to in your message was the punchy instinct but I get it - it’s not like you said you do it, just that that’s your impulse.

Fair enough.

Someone around here once told me the very good German saying: “If you have one Nazi at a table and ten people talking to them, you have eleven Nazis.”

Cop culture at this point is just so toxic that I don’t know how we come back from it. With the top problem... well ok the top problem is probably racism, but AFTER THAT, the top problem being that they think the streets are a war zone and everyone’s out to get them and they need to keep their fingers on their…

This is exactly it. It is ultimately irrelevant that he was unarmed and unthreatening, because he was in his own goddamn backyard. He has the right to carry a gun and the right to defend himself. He wasn’t even doing either in this situation, but even if he had been, he would still have been in the right.

I had to look up how the hell they’re doing this “therapy”. Per Forbes:

I went back to re-read to try to understand what on earth you thought was sexist or man-hating about that comment. The comment that a touch from a little girl is different from being touched by a male coworker? You... don’t think that’s a different situation?

It has been in your underwear. There was sweat. Certain skin bacteria love to hang out and breed in that sort of enclosed warm space. It’s also in close proximity to your butt.

That’s amazing. “What type of craziness is this??” “Actually removing germs instead of just performing hygiene for social acceptance.”

This is a fair point, but cold water with soap is generally sufficient anyway, especially if a bit of friction is applied.

It’s true, that statement probably could have been better clarified by referring specifically to her other cousins and family members who have a history of protesting - when I searched, I did find plenty of her other family members who had been involved in nonviolent protesting.

I was taught at my first job as a teenager to run through Happy Birthday in my head when washing my hands. I generally still do it to this day.

Also I don’t care if you peed on your hands - you touched your junk! I feel like all these guys (because let’s be honest, it seems to all be guys) think their dicks are somehow sterile.

I agree with you on the hot water, but not on the hand sanitizer. Actual handwashing is absolutely better, but sanitizer is effective at removing germs (just not dirt and grime) and isn’t creating superbugs (that’s mostly down to antibiotics).

Ahlam Tamimi is her aunt who aided in that 2001 Sbarro suicide bombing, but given that she’s been either in jail or living in Jordan for all of Ahed’s life, let’s maybe not assume the two have any sort of relationship? I don’t think we can judge all people based on things their family members have done.

I think to me it reads as more real, more normal, less removed from reality. Very down-to-earth.

It’s intersectionality 101 stuff. Somehow the argument even seems to be that trans black women are oppressing cis black women? Nope. Not a thing.

This conversation is infuriating to me and I’m not even trans. I don’t know how you’re putting up with it.
