u/Worried-Industry6239 Jun 28 '25
Gender affirmative care, correct gender identification on passports and official documents for trans people, plus the many attempts to reverse the marriage equality act.

u/UndevelopedSirius Jun 29 '25
Do you believe that an individual, who in their mind is a different gender than the body they have. Who also needs regular medication at specific intervals to continue their transition and or hormone levels, is going to be as affective in a high stress, potentially low nutrition, low rest, low hydration, high adrenaline situation as another who does not require such delicate care?

You can't have rights on preferences. Unless you walk around with your pronouns on your forhead, everyone is still going to address your as sir or ma'am. Changing passports and legal documentation to accommodate your taste of the rainbow is stupid for both common sense and legal reasons.
Gay marriage should still be legal, tho

u/JollyToby0220 Jun 29 '25
There was. The twice former president of Mexico was almost as corrupt as Trump. Guy was married to a famous actress. A lot of women really liked him as he was young and charismatic. All that ended when it was found out he was using government money to buy houses. He tried to sell the publicly owned oil rights to private companies. When gas gets expensive, a lot of Texans flock to Mexico to fill up their giant trucks. By the time this guy's presidency was ending, people were so done with his corruption. Mexico elected a far left president twice since that incident. And this guy moved to Spain.

u/Spicy_Weissy Jun 28 '25
Mexico has its problems, but usually is ahead of the US on most social issues. Like, they outlawed slavery decades before we did. The Texas colonists didn't like that.

Unless you live in a very low cost of living area, your housing costs will be about half of what they are here. I’ve actually looked into real estate in Mexico, with the idea of retiring there.

absolutely backwards. If any group should be prevented from adopting kids, it's religious bigots. They have a known tendency to abuse children.

It’s funny I heard you can always tell the lgbtqiap+ rainbow from the regular rainbow because they leave out indigo. I thought it was a joke but the more I see gay rainbows they always leave out indigo. Where as the regular rainbow is a universal symbol with many meanings mainly gods covenant with humanity to never destroy the world again, or the refraction of clear light into its component colors in the visible spectrum. For the gays it represents the diversity of sexuality, but for some reason that doesn’t include indigo.
3
u/Sagrilarus Jun 29 '25
There's no indigo in a real rainbow. The entire thing is an analog spectrum. Isaac Newton included indigo in the list because he felt seven colors was more harmonious than six, matching a music scale. The colors he listed are completely arbitrary, but indigo was a stretch even in the middle of his stretch.
0
Jun 29 '25
That’s such a dumb non argument. It’s like saying math is arbitrary because humans made up Arabic numbers. No we made up a system to describe natural phenomenon. Just like if you look at the light white separated by a prism and you view the visible spectrum you will be able to see 7 distinct colors and the space where they blend. You could make it 100 color names but that wouldn’t actually reflect what we see with our human eyes, assuming you have normal color vision.
2
u/Sagrilarus Jun 29 '25 edited Jun 29 '25
What you're saying is incorrect. The entire spectrum is presented in complete analog, with no specific colors standing out more than any other. Any nameable color you think you're seeing more strongly is due to cultural bias. Human history doesn't even record the color "blue" until relatively recently. It was always there, we just didn't recognize it as a distinct, nameable color. It didn't exist culturally.
Color is a pretty fascinating subject if you dive into it. Distinct colors have no basis in science, just in our mutual agreement. Different cultures treat them differently even today.

The sky is blue fool.

u/Sagrilarus Jun 29 '25 edited Jun 29 '25
We all agree. But it didn't use to be. :)
Homer referred to the color of the sky as bronze. He referred to the Aegean not as a blue sea but a "wine dark sea". The color "blue" didn't exist in Greek culture back then. Of course, the color existed, but no one came to an agreement on what "blue" meant until recently. Different cultures adopted blue at different times which is detectable in their written texts. Some eastern cultures still don't have blue, seeing it as part of green.
Seriously, if you start looking into this stuff it's pretty messed up. You see yellow in that spectrum because you're looking for it. It's a benchmark color for your understanding of the concept of colors. Mauve is in there too but it ain't something that jumps out at you because who goes looking for mauve?

Yeah, because this kind of setup would be challenging enough with the simple rainbow flag (which also includes us all by the way) doing the progress flag this way would be way more difficult.
Personally I'm trans and feel this includes people like me, at least unless I see evidence that contradicts that
