The secret of Gen X success

[@clemdane]

I am a Gen X, anti-woke Old School Liberal terf. I didn't vote for Trump, but I can kind of understand why others did. I couldn't vote for Kamala either because of the trans issue and other woke problems with the current Democrats.

A big thing about gratitude for being generation X. A lot of the "stuff " we had, swamps to explore and stay outside past dark did not exist when I was in my 20s. I do think that we got this little bit of healing from nature. These young people didn't get that and they need safe spaces and censorship

Omg the teacher in space. I wasn't a kid but at work in my early 20s -- I'm glad I wasn't young enough to be in school watching it on tv.

[@wesleymahan5903]

I was homeschooled that year. Just a crazy way for it to be locked into my memory.

I watched it on school

I would LOVE to see you debate Wu. He went pretty mask off on Heterodorx - I admire Nina Paley's composure but would also quite like to see someone meet Wu where he's at and go in hard on him!

I had shingles In the 8th grade. Had the chicken pox vax as a child, no contact with anyone with shingles or chicken pox, and it affected my skin on my face, scalp and eye! Would have went blind in my left eye if left for another day. Since the vax had the “dead” pox virus, I went through puberty so my body was under “severe stress” also just entering high school lol. Moral of the story is, unforeseen side effects of vaxxines can come out decades later!

Ok. I declare this the most lucid contemporary podcast I have heard. Every word was a gem, a scenic route.

You gotta get these up on Spotify quicker. Need to be able to play when app closes, and I don't want to pay any of the censorship regime in order to do so.

[@meghanemilymurphy]

Sorry! It's hard for me to find the time but I'll work on it :(

[@charliestevenson3500]

Great discussion as usual.

[@saracorbin1152]

The trans thing really is a "limousine liberal" (or "limousine radical" ) thing isn't it.

To this day my parents have never read any of my books. They were not published the correct way apparently.

@seekingfinding6204 not if your raised by professional educators

I am torn on some things. I had a friend in the 90's who is a dyke and transitioned and took on a male name. She and her wife lived quietly. If they came to my house and other people were there I wouldn't have used she/her and outed her like that. But don't mandate what pronouns I use is where I am at. If Blaire White walked in a bathroom I might look sideways but wouldn't feel threatened or even know for sure he was male. Same with Lorraine Cox. If Buck didn't tell people she was a trannie I wouldn't know. Females pass more easily IMO. SO much has changed. I scrutinize everyone now who looks like a possible pretender. Especially on tv. Keep xy's out of women's spaces for sure but how to enforce it when often people can't tell the difference with some of them. Any thoughts?

[@meghanemilymurphy]

I don't think I'd feel threatened if Blaire White walked into the same washroom as me, I think the point on that end is that it's a slippery slope...

[@マリー-v4p]

Strongly disagree. The Blaire whites are very much the exception. You can almost always tell.

[@LolaMarigold]

@@meghanemilymurphy Yes I agree.
