If at least 80% of that big number was spread more evenly, it'd be paradise. The problem is whenever we talk about the failures of capitalism, we miss the mark. We ALL KNOW that the people on the bottom have it worse. What they need to realize is that the people at the top DON'T justify that suffering. That most of the money they "spend" is just ensuring they get to keep their glorified dragon's horde. The money they spend? It's the moat to their Neo-fuedalist Castle. Just because you don't have the same languages, doesn't change your attempt to spite god with unearned authority. The sky was never meant to be "owned", and even when you pretend to have control over it- you will still never be satisfied.

THAT'S the problem. We teach people to be never satisfied, but those who are will find happiness far better than those who keep rising higher never getting a reward they feel is worth the effort. Because they didn't WANT it. They were just TOLD they should. Meanwhile, those with backbreaking and soul crushing jobs? They aren't angry because of the low reward- they are angry because they get LESS than what THEY'VE ALREADY PUT IN. They are actively punished for trying, when they were told that was the entire point. Yet, when anyone speaks to the flaws of the system- there are only two forms of discourse in the public eye.The way we've allowed the argument to be framed has created a false dichotomy. A narrative of clashing ideals when one option objectively is better to accomplish. The industrial revolution took us from carts and carriages to fighter jets and space ships. Yet, life is the same in all the ways we hate. We still work for most of the day, we still struggle to afford to live, and we will have little to nothing looking forward to at the end of the day. When you burn out trying to survive? They call you lazy and entitled. No, you're just tired. THEY are entitled and lazy. It's narcissistic projection because "suffering makes you stronger" is only true when you've ONLY had the opportunity to improve. Those of us who have suffered? We found better ways, it's just you'd rather spend all the money in the world than admit you had the world in your corner and still couldn't figure it out. You have access to wealth and technology early man couldn't comprehend. You act as if it was for our benefit, but really? You tried "reaching the finish line" when there was no goal. You are "far ahead" in a world where it DOESN'T matter to anyone but you. You bashed our knees in, then act like we are complaining because we refuse to run. You handicapped us, and then blame us for the problems YOU cause. Then, you drag us along as we spit venom on your name. You act as if we are ungrateful- when we just want a moment of peace to HEAL. If you REALLY ever had a chance to win this race? You wouldn't have sabotaged us to begin with. You know that, it's why you did it. It's why, even with the development of AI- you REFUSE to give ANYONE that isn't outright on your side more than "enough". Even when "enough" can't even cover the living expenses you've caused. You didn't HAVE to be wrong. You COULD have been viewed as people of virtue- but all you ever did was punch down. Now, we see you as a Tyrant like we warned would happen. You were just too focused on the profits to see the limited room to grow. If you gave people the basics, they WOULDN'T be satisfied. Because you are right, people DO want to put in effort for it's own sake. You just failed to realize taking away their basic necessities forced them to change priorities. That most of that wealth we DON'T EVEN WANT. You just are denying the bare minimum to know it's even POSSIBLE to want more. Nothing beyond taking back what YOU stole from everyone else. Now, it's "not enough" while wasting more in a day trying to do the impossible that we would have used a fraction of in our WHOLE LIVES. You waste endless wealth for the sake of distracting yourself from the cage YOU built for "all of us" as a 'service'. The only consolation prize is seeing the "lesser" man in that same cage with you, unaware of the truth. It's why we will break free. We will grow in our own time when we ESCAPE YOU. When you can no longer keep us dragged down in this box, scraping for scraps when a buffet is just outside of reach. Just outside of the cage, lies the answer to a question you never bothered to even ask. How far can we go? Where was the limit on that marathon? There doesn't HAVE to be a limit, if we pace ourselves. You won a race that didn't exist, built a cage around the "finish line", then charge us a fee to make any progress forward. You made hell, trapped us in it, and are charging us for rent.

The reason they make it about men being "biologically superior" to women is because it tricks people into automatically aligning with the idea of these aspects being determined by your sex as the driving factor instead of anything else.

It takes away the biochemical aspect of being human. Testosterone and proteins made you strong, not your Johnson. Neurotransmitters fire the way they do because of internal chemistry and how your body works fundamentally, that gave you a better reaction time you claimed was agility from being a woman.

It brushes the nuance of how complicated our bodies are even when everything "works like normal". Whether it be the default resting state of the person, or their body functioning in a way society deems correct, a person still has infinitely complex processes determining how your body develops and maintains itself. Acknowledging that opens up the possibility to question how we know that "normal" looks the same in everyone. They won't have that.

It serves a triple purpose: Creating the narrative of male supremacy, dismisses concepts fundamental to trans-medicalism (which, regardless of it's ability to apply to each individual, is often the first bridge a layperson crosses to understanding trans identity- it creates a wall where there would otherwise be an imperfect door), and most importantly it simplifies the world and us as people in a way that benefits their narratives.

The endocrine system has more to say on who we are than what's in our pants ever could have, and modern medicine has given room to disagree with the hand it's dealing us like never before.

If taking 3 pills can make someone go from nonfunctional and apathetic to someone tired of waiting for the world to catch up and ready to drag others to tomorrow kicking and screaming- why would you think that doesn't have a physical equivalent as well? Because it does. The fact it's physical is WHY you can't get medicine for it.

The reason HRT is restricted is for the same reason mental health took so long to become a field of science. It's easier for people to notice and pay attention when the changes are visible physically. Seeing someone physically change is much more noticable than the fact they aren't miserable like they had been before.

They can point to HRT and say "look how this changes you, it's bad." then they go and to a person on adderrall claiming "I don't see anything wrong with them, it must be nothing!" without having to process the contradiction of it.

The more we think of our bodies outside of the abstract, the more obvious it becomes how much junk has been shoveled into our heads. No chemicals? It means no nuance, no gender equality, no trans rights, no mental health, and no one seeing how much they have been hurting us for far too long.

Biochemistry doesn't determine your gender, but it does give the best tools to understand what they don't want us to know.

That our sex is secondary, and who we are and what we choose to be is the real important thing. That's the choice they are desperately refusing to let us make.

"do you want women competing against trans athletes" yes? I also want women competing against male athletes. and competing alongside them. because segregating sports by gender is extremely shitty actually?

Writing Tips

Punctuating Dialogue

✧

➸ “This is a sentence.”

➸ “This is a sentence with a dialogue tag at the end,” she said.

➸ “This,” he said, “is a sentence split by a dialogue tag.”

➸ “This is a sentence,” she said. “This is a new sentence. New sentences are capitalized.”

➸ “This is a sentence followed by an action.” He stood. “They are separate sentences because he did not speak by standing.”

➸ She said, “Use a comma to introduce dialogue. The quote is capitalized when the dialogue tag is at the beginning.”

➸ “Use a comma when a dialogue tag follows a quote,” he said.

“Unless there is a question mark?” she asked.

“Or an exclamation point!” he answered. “The dialogue tag still remains uncapitalized because it’s not truly the end of the sentence.”

➸ “Periods and commas should be inside closing quotations.”

➸ “Hey!” she shouted, “Sometimes exclamation points are inside quotations.”

However, if it’s not dialogue exclamation points can also be “outside”!

➸ “Does this apply to question marks too?” he asked.

If it’s not dialogue, can question marks be “outside”? (Yes, they can.)

➸ “This applies to dashes too. Inside quotations dashes typically express—“

“Interruption” — but there are situations dashes may be outside.

➸ “You’ll notice that exclamation marks, question marks, and dashes do not have a comma after them. Ellipses don’t have a comma after them either…” she said.

➸ “My teacher said, ‘Use single quotation marks when quoting within dialogue.’”

➸ “Use paragraph breaks to indicate a new speaker,” he said.

“The readers will know it’s someone else speaking.”

➸ “If it’s the same speaker but different paragraph, keep the closing quotation off.

“This shows it’s the same character continuing to speak.”
