  • I’m 5’11" feet tall, USA, my personal style is very practical and not very feminine, and I shop almost exclusively online. It’s more expensive, but it works for me for many reasons. I’m too busy to go shopping. But when I have, there’s at least one supportive employee eager to help me.

    • I measure myself and compare those measurements to the Size Guide. Sometimes the measurements are still off, but I havent had trouble.

    • Sometimes I buy specifically from brands advertising Tall and Plus Size. In some garments, a Tall XL has been the perfect fit for me. For example, Overalls.

    • My basic outfit consists of High Waisted Jeans and a Scoop Neck T-shirt that is tucked into them. Lightly colored jeans, dark T-shirt.

    • I am never wearing clothing that is uncomfortable for me. I depend on a woven nylon belt to keep my jeans up, they are a bit loose.

    • I’ve watched a few videos about how to dress for trans fems. Nano Nano made one thats just 6 minutes, it was enough for me to get started.

    As always, your mileage may vary.




  • What I’m trying to say is: Leftists are not the ones distracted by the culture war. But liberals and conservatives are being distracted by, aptly put, Mr. Burns.

    In this case I do blame the guy defending himself from both, because the class war includes all of the working class. If I can de-worm their brains, great, and if I can’t, we still have a class war to win. We have to get along regardless or conservatives distracted by fascists continue to be useful for them.


  • I disagree because the way I see it: This is not about leftists, but rather Democrats and Republicans. The right wing class war is and intentional distraction from class solidarity, and a lot of people got distracted by it during the 2016 - 2020 presidency. MAGA is only but a portion of conservatives, and conservative a get distracted when they buy into MAGA talking points. The people we see on TV might be owner class, but our working class friends and allies get distracted by it too.

    This rules list is overwhelming. Some of these things I haven’t heard of or can’t think of an example of.

    What is good faith discussion about ideology, but no sectarianism? Like I can be a… M & M’s fan and you a Skittles fan, and we both want a world that supports more Candy, but I can’t say you’re wrong and I can’t say when we disagree it will result in bad candy being in charge?

    What are the consequences for bad behavior? Am I gonna have my comment removed? Will that removal include an explanation? Will I be banned?

    What is a historically classified socialist country and why can’t I say they are wrong? That sounds like a highly academic discussion to me.

    wikipedia isn’t a valid source

    Wikipedia is a great source though, 99% of the time the text on wikipedia sums up what’s in several sources linked below. So now I could go to wikipedia and the writer could have made a decision based on 3 different slightly conflicting sources, I pick the first one - now my argument seems stronger but it might be missing extra context.

    A lot of the time I would rather someone link me to Wikipedia than Corporate News (CNN, NBC).

    Oh okay so we can have fun on the weekends when the normies are off from work 😋 neato, sounds like a board designed to be a headache 5 days of the week.

    What do I even post here, theory? I don’t care much about theory.

    What is this community aimed at accomplishing?
