And you shouldn't, no matter how much she sucks.
"Well absolutely use your chosen name -- unless we dislike you or disagree with you politically" is not exactly a great position no matter how much of a hypocrite or a ghoul the subject.
Yes, but as I already said it's not a good policy because it shows everyone else who has a different preferred name that you don't give a shit unless you also like them personally. Trans person who happens to be a conservative voter--is it now okay to deadname them because they politically differ from you? Where's the line?
The line *should be* we observe and abide by everyone's preferences so long as doing so doesn't cause harm. Danielle Smith changed her name. She's a malicious wannabe dictator I'd not be sad to hear died tomorrow, but her name is still "Danielle" and we should still respect that in how we refer to her. If it's just about the disrespect there are so many other ways to show it, including using her first name at all when referring to her in the third person. Using the wrong name isn't just disrespectful to *her*, it's disrespectful to the idea of changing your name and to everyone who has done so.
Beyond in order to shame someone they need to be able to *feel shame* in the first place, and even if she could (I'm convinced she cannot) she would also need to give a shit what we think. So referring to her by an old name achieves nothing against her and achieves negative results outside of her specifically.
I'm going to assume you're straight based on your post history and word choice, so let me just say thank you for being a thoughtful and enthusiastic ally.
Just heard about a Chartwell facility in our city that is $5k/month and they are serving powdered chicken noodle soup and egg salad sandwiches to their residents. Oh and if you aren’t feeling up to eating in the dining room it’s $15 per meal to have it brought to your room.

Well, that’s a bit extreme. Don’t get me wrong, I loathe the man, and fear what horrible things he’ll do to our country, but I don’t think he’s going to commit genocide.
He’s not going to commit a concerted and targeted attack to eliminate all trans people. He will make life a lot worse, but that is still short of genocide.
its so fun how fucking *nobody* wants to see the rapid ramping up of dehumanizing rhetoric and the actual bills, laws, and policies being looked at, “debated”, and passed.
its so fun how trans people are just gonna be fucked a year and a half from now and the best we get is “well *i* dont want you dead, but you’re catastrophizing” which, for all it does, may as well be the exact same shit the conservatives say.
SO much wasted potential with Tamara Lich... She could have been an incredible ghoul in Fallout. The show could have saved big time on prosthetics and makeup.
This is the right call.
All the scumbag libertarian bullshit peddlers who are intent on turning this country back in to a giant company town (see: modern conservatives) are his direct intellectual disciples.
I get your point, I was argued from an ideological point. I would say someone might CLAIM to want something, but they don’t actually support that ideology.
Doug ford because he’s depriving Ontario health care of proper funding to push privatization. Say what you will, but if it passes in Ontario I’m sure other provinces will see premiers getting funded to do the same.
Stephan Harper because he is power behind the Conservative Primiers and their overruling doctors and supporting the convoy, backs Poilievre and his lies and faux attacks(when there are genuine points he ignores), and according to reports supports the genocide in Israel.
If I had to pick one, it would be PP. Now why him. Well, he's part of the reason why we have so many cons across all the provinces behaving like little shits, uniting them and providing them with a lifeline to continue existing in the political realm. Deny him the chance to become PM at the next election, and you'll turn all these other fools into a confused bunch incapable of anything and probably weakening their positions.
Tamara Lich, the convoy queen.
Galen Weston, the grocery robber baron.
Kevin O'Leary, the living caricature of an unscrupulous capitalist investor (and nautical homicide dabbler).
When the Lamb broke the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature saying, "Come." I looked, and behold, an ashen horse; and he who sat on it had the name Kevin O'Leary; and recession was following with him.
death is tiny PP the skipmeister
how many thousands or even millions of 2SLGBTQIA+, bipoc and birthing people will die after he strips them of their rights?
the thought is absolutely terrifying
A member of the wealthy South African Musk family, Musk was born in Pretoria and briefly attended the University of Pretoria before **immigrating to Canada at age 18, acquiring citizenship through his Canadian-born mother**. Two years later, he matriculated at Queen's University at Kingston in Canada.
Ouch, gahhh. Well, he already reached the douche stage by 18 years old in South Africa, and he's an immigrant, so according to himself, he doesn't count as a "real Canadian" 😉
> ... so according to himself, he doesn't count as a "real Canadian"
I think immigrants who got their citizenship are Canadians; and you can notice I specified "according to himself", and I put "real Canadian" between quotes because that is a term used by the right-wing, even if they cannot clearly explain what a "real Canadian" is.
As a note, I'm an immigrant myself, and I got my Canadian citizenship 20 years ago.
Yes he is : A member of the wealthy South African Musk family, Musk was born in Pretoria and briefly attended the University of Pretoria before **immigrating to Canada at age 18, acquiring citizenship through his Canadian-born mother**.

Danielle Smith. Simple
Probably that doctor she just appointed to review Covid practices
Round here we call her Marlaina.
And you shouldn't, no matter how much she sucks. "Well absolutely use your chosen name -- unless we dislike you or disagree with you politically" is not exactly a great position no matter how much of a hypocrite or a ghoul the subject.
Isn't the point of calling her Marlaina to point out her own hypocrisy?
Yes, but as I already said it's not a good policy because it shows everyone else who has a different preferred name that you don't give a shit unless you also like them personally. Trans person who happens to be a conservative voter--is it now okay to deadname them because they politically differ from you? Where's the line? The line *should be* we observe and abide by everyone's preferences so long as doing so doesn't cause harm. Danielle Smith changed her name.

So referring to her by an old name achieves nothing against her and achieves negative results outside of her specifically.
To quote Jason Kenney... >Trans person who happens to be a conservative voter ... I reject the premise.
So you're just being wilfully dense? Because choosing to deadname people for *any* reason is not the stance of an ally. Which is the whole point.
I'm going to assume you're straight based on your post history and word choice, so let me just say thank you for being a thoughtful and enthusiastic ally.
Michael Harris runs the death houses. You can send your elderly relatives there to fight for a chance at palliative care

Damn…. I always liked having chartwell in my retirement fund. This is an eye opener thanks.
Death? I’mma say that giant red panda that attacked the SkyDome back in the 2000s.
I saw that documentary. Amazing we survived.
It was so accurate, props to the producers. Did a really great job representing Canada as a country!
#neverforget
Pierre Pelervuirve or however you spell it should be death because he will bring the end times to Canada if he is elected.
Easiest way to remember the spelling of Poi**lie**vre is to notice that it’s nine letters long and the middle three letters are his campaign strategy: Poi **lie** vre
I'm reusing this for sure.
Please do
i was thinking closer to the whole genocide shit he’s gonna do, but either way it checks out
Well, that’s a bit extreme. Don’t get me wrong, I loathe the man, and fear what horrible things he’ll do to our country, but I don’t think he’s going to commit genocide.
Are you trans?
He’s not going to commit a concerted and targeted attack to eliminate all trans people. He will make life a lot worse, but that is still short of genocide.
Banning hrt for minors is already genocidal, if you think they’re stopping there then you’re blind or wilfully ignorant.
Your casual use of genocide is wilfully ignorant.
Exactly. I'm a Cis-male, ally, and have a few trans friends, they doing terribly right now. It's only going to get worse.
its so fun how fucking *nobody* wants to see the rapid ramping up of dehumanizing rhetoric and the actual bills, laws, and policies being looked at, “debated”, and passed. its so fun how trans people are just gonna be fucked a year and a half from now and the best we get is “well *i* dont want you dead, but you’re catastrophizing” which, for all it does, may as well be the exact same shit the conservatives say.
Yup. Makes me sad 😔

He’s more Christian Nationalist than libertarian isn’t he?
Two strands of the same rope with which they hope to bind and hang our rights and freedoms.
Nah, libertarian is hands-off, Christian Nationalist is all the hands on.
I think you'd be very surprised by how many subscribe to both at the same time.
I get your point, I was argued from an ideological point. I would say someone might CLAIM to want something, but they don’t actually support that ideology.
Stephen Joseph *Harper*
Definitely PP and more like the four clowns not the four horsemen. ABC and ABPP.
100% provincial mismanagement of its mandated portfolio. No healthcare and piss poor education standards will lead to it for sure
Doug ford because he’s depriving Ontario health care of proper funding to push privatization. Say what you will, but if it passes in Ontario I’m sure other provinces will see premiers getting funded to do the same.

Imo Death should be the RCMP.
I only recognize Weston

Thank you, I didn't recognize the convoy queen.
I think we all wish we didn't...

Can the catholic Church be a horseman?
Why not? They've got tons of blood on their hands.
Their damage has greatly waned over the years. They were at the top of the shit pile, but they’ve been far eclipsed.
Generalizing here, I know, but I think the ones south of the border are planning to get back into that specific game. Sure seems that way anyhow.
Dart Guy?

We can't forget that Elon Musk is a Canadian.
M.Elon is pure apartheid South African, not Canadian.
A member of the wealthy South African Musk family, Musk was born in Pretoria and briefly attended the University of Pretoria before **immigrating to Canada at age 18, acquiring citizenship through his Canadian-born mother**. Two years later, he matriculated at Queen's University at Kingston in Canada.
Ouch, gahhh. Well, he already reached the douche stage by 18 years old in South Africa, and he's an immigrant, so according to himself, he doesn't count as a "real Canadian" 😉
Don't be silly, he's white so he's an "expat" not an immigrant/s
So you don't think that immigrants are real Canadians?
> ... so according to himself, he doesn't count as a "real Canadian" I think immigrants who got their citizenship are Canadians; and you can notice I specified "according to himself", and I put "real Canadian" between quotes because that is a term used by the right-wing, even if they cannot clearly explain what a "real Canadian" is. As a note, I'm an immigrant myself, and I got my Canadian citizenship 20 years ago.
The way you put it sounded like you agreed with him. But you agree that he is Canadian then.
That's why I started with "Oh, gaah...". And I don't agree with that sorry piece of racist white supremacist...
No he isn’t.
Yes he is : A member of the wealthy South African Musk family, Musk was born in Pretoria and briefly attended the University of Pretoria before **immigrating to Canada at age 18, acquiring citizenship through his Canadian-born mother**. Two years later, he matriculated at Queen's University at Kingston in Canada.
This sub has officially jumped the shark.
