  • I do not believe conservatives are mad at or hate transexuals

    I do believe, however, Conservatives don’t really care what you do on your own. Most disagree with transexuals in general, but most also aren’t interested in bossing you around.

    I believe your question presumes wrongly that conservatives are spending their days obsessively looking for ways to control or cause either direct or indirect harm to you. They’re not.

    The only things they are not really okay with and won’t allow you to do is pushing your views on them.

    I understand they will be okay if you don’t ask them to change the facts on your birth certificate (yes, conservatives see what is in there as facts, you can disagree, but that’s how they see it)

    I believe conservatives will be mostly okay if you don’t try to pass laws that punish them for not getting on board with your chosen views.

    Same as well with using the state apparatus, taxpayer money, to use public schools to push your views.

    They would probably be okay with consenting adults being free to dress in whatever way they want and do whatever they want to their own bodies.

    However they would be also expecting to not be compelled in any way whatsoever to play along.

    Again, that would mean no laws would be made to compel people to use pronouns or any other language they believe to be untrue.

    Most surely, they would like that, In the same vein as dressing up differently doesn’t give you access to opposite sex bathrooms, getting surgical procedures done on yourself wouldn’t also give you access to the bathrooms of the opposite sex.

    Very probably, In an ideal conservative world, transition surgery would be categorized as an elective cosmetic surgery, and advertised as such.













  • Don’t even ask the question

    The answer is yes, it’s priced in.

    Think Amazon will beat the next earnings? That’s already been priced in.

    You work at the drive thru for Mickey D’s and found out that the burgers are made of human meat? Priced in. You think insiders don’t already know that?

    The market is an all powerful, all encompassing being that knows the very inner workings of your subconscious before you were even born.

    Your very existence was priced in decades ago when the market was valuing Standard Oil’s expected future earnings based on population growth that would lead to your birth, what age you would get a car, how many times you would drive your car every week, how many times you take the bus/train, etc.

    Anything you can think of has already been priced in, even the things you aren’t thinking of.

    You have no original thoughts. Your consciousness is just an illusion, a product of the omniscent market. Free will is a myth.

    The market sees all, knows all and will be there from the beginning of time until the end of the universe (the market has already priced in the heat death of the universe).

    So please, before you make a post on Lemmy asking whether AAPL has priced in earpods 11 sales or whatever, know that it has already been priced in and don’t ask such a dumb fucking question again.
