Gnabberwocky:
The gender of any given person is entirely up to them.
The people they choose to tell (and when they tell them) about their trans* status is entirely up to them.
Denying anyone either of those rights is a hateful act.
Case fucking closed.
Is it cold in here?:
Except for the important point that it's not a matter of choice.
Thrillho:
I have absolutely no idea how Claire's gender ended up involved in a discussion about whether Clinton and Elliot were going to have butt-based fun together. Will Elliot perhaps tell Clinton a deep dark secret about Renee for no reason?
For the record, if they aren't gonna, I will be - to coin a phrase - bummed out about that.
Beast_Reborn:
Gay sex isn't necessarily "butt-based." Especially given that Clinton has never done anything with a guy before (for that matter, we don't know for sure if Elliot has), jumping straight into anal might not be the best idea. Admittedly this is nitpicking what might just be a rhetorical flourish.
Case:
--- Quote from: snubnose on 14 Aug 2020, 06:15 ---And by the way, the goal of the Nazis was to further victimize the jews. They became very outraged when they found out that people by vast majority instead expressed how bad they felt for jews when they saw people wearing these signs.
--- End quote ---
- The goal of the Nazis was the literal eradication of European Jewry. They were terrifyingly effective in that.
- Individual expressions of 'sympathy and pity' from gentile Germans towards their Jewish compatriots made to wear the Judenstern are reliably, documented, eg in reports of the Sicherheitsdienst, or accounts from survivors of the Holocaust.
However, I have never even heard anyone claim that the "vast majority" of Germans made such gestures, or shared the sentiment - and the reactions of the German populace to the barbaric repressions, as well as their knowledge about their full extend has been a major focus of German historiography since at least the 1990s. Nor was I able to find anything corroborating your claim on the Germanophone interwebbertubes (I found metric shittons of evidence for widespread tolerance or tacit approval of the repressions, as well as for active support from ordinary citizens).
I look forward to your presenting credible evidence for your assertion.
More important would be the question whether the outrage that the "vast majority" of our grantparents' generation allegedly felt compelled them to discharge their ethical duty in meaningful, tangible ways. Six million victims of industrialized murder provide an exhaustive answer.
