If you are attracted to a trans person, don’t get mad. It opens a new dating pool embrace it.

As an American, it’s sad state that I have to click the article to see “which Georgia”

Cephalotrocity@biglemmowski.win on 19 Sep 2024 13:39 next collapse

I see what you did there.

corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca on 19 Sep 2024 14:36 collapse

Stating a sad truth.

And to answer for everyone else:
It was in the country of Georgia in Europe.

hashferret@lemmy.world on 19 Sep 2024 15:06 next collapse

Of course. If it was our Georgia she would’ve been shot to death.

xmunk@sh.itjust.works on 19 Sep 2024 16:34 collapse

Along with dozens of bystanders.

By a cop who was denied a donut

FlorianSimon@sh.itjust.works on 20 Sep 2024 02:04 collapse

That’s what I assumed as an European. Fellow yuropoors, do you think of the united statsian state first when you hear about Georgia?

catloaf@lemm.ee on 19 Sep 2024 14:51 next collapse

I don’t think there’s a Tbilisi, GA in the US.

gedaliyah@lemmy.world on 19 Sep 2024 15:12 collapse

Yeah, that’s why I had to click. I would be unsurprised to see this from the violent anti-trans faction of the American South.

nightofmichelinstars@sopuli.xyz on 19 Sep 2024 17:26 next collapse

I assumed it was Georgia the country because I have trouble imagining a transgender model continuing to identify with Georgia the state into adulthood.

Atlanta is pretty progressive despite the state around it.

captainlezbian@lemmy.world on 19 Sep 2024 21:24 collapse

And Atlanta has a pretty decent trans community from what I’ve heard

prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 19 Sep 2024 17:33 next collapse

Would have been shot if it was the US

Oh hey look, It wasn’t the Russian agents, it was the Russian exiles!

Yeah I’m learning to properly carry before I publicly present. Fuck that shit.

I love how adding violence will help with your safety. You could be the first case ever.

The only promise of protection you get in this world is porpotional to the amount of violence you are known to be capable of, and sometimes not even then. Protect yourselves, we aren’t out of the dark ages yet.

Mr_Blott@feddit.uk on 19 Sep 2024 17:26 next collapse

You’re not out of the dark ages, you quivering shitebag lol

Sanctus@lemmy.world on 19 Sep 2024 19:11 next collapse

You added much to this conversation. Thank you for this quintessential insight into why my position is correct.

magic_smoke@links.hackliberty.org on 19 Sep 2024 19:35 collapse

Yeah I’m trying to build my body to be cute and fuckable, not combat ready.

Until cis men get their shit together, you can eat my ass about being a quivering shitbag.

I’ll add someone to the daily list of 132 people that die by gunshot in the US, if it means I don’t have to double down on being a part of the nearly quarter of women who have been sexually assaulted.

DogWater@lemmy.world on 20 Sep 2024 00:18 collapse

You go girl.

Make sure you know your local and state laws for de-escalation and use of deadly force, Stand your ground laws and such.

After that, train. The last thing you want is to flub up something in a high pressure situation. It needs to be second nature to be effective.

That’s my most general advice.

Beyond that, you’ll find everyone has an opinion about carry options

An everyday carry gun should be reliable and comfortable.

*Gun not fun lmao

magic_smoke@links.hackliberty.org on 20 Sep 2024 02:15 collapse

Education is a big one to me. Through a series of unfortunate events I’ve become the owner of a number of guns, but I haven’t done much other than make sure they’re all unloaded and locked up in the safe.

I gotta figure out some local classes or something, the base NRA one my state reqs is shit, and even if it wasn’t, was taught by some boomer who shouldn’t have guns.

Not only did he sweep me with a barrel several times, he somehow had multiple stories of him needing his gun in defense. Except he didn’t because he never used it other than to scare people. Also literally every story about it started with a phrase to the effect of: “so there was this black guy…”

I really don’t want to be one of those cock-knockers who walks around being a danger to themselves and others for an ego trip.

corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca on 19 Sep 2024 21:31 collapse

That’s very American. How’s that working out?

Neon@lemmy.world on 19 Sep 2024 18:33 next collapse

I didn’t get what she meant with “carry”

This comment is too american for me to understand lol

*She, sweety 💅

Neon@lemmy.world on 19 Sep 2024 20:25 collapse

he as in “der Staatsbürger”

but I guess now I am too european for an american to understand lol

anyways, since it seems to be important to you I edited it either way

I hope you can eventually live somewhere safer where that doesn’t have to be a consideration <3 🏳️‍⚧️

Maybe you can find left friendly places to train through those communities

Horrifying, and one day after the government had approved restrictions on the rights of queer people.
