  • Im not sure I completely understand your situation. So you are a trans man, in a relationship with (or at least mutual interest in) another man, is that right? If he sees you as a girl, like that person you mentioned suggests, why would he want to be with you in the first place? I dont think that makes sense. If that was the case though, and he wanted you to be his “girlfriend” and look like a girl, then yes, it would probably be transphobic.

    Regardless, having a preference for your SOs looks is normal imo, and sometimes it can have significant influence on a relationship. Im not sure how I would react if my wife wanted to get a nose ring for example. I dont like them, I dont like looking at them, I dont know why exactly but its just not for me. But does that make me mysogynistic? If it was important for my wife and her self-expression I would obviously respect that but it would lead to some difficult discussions. I cant control that she would be less physically attractive to me and I would need to tell her that and she would need to make the decision factoring that in. Pressuring her or demanding changes in her looks would be wrong, but not telling her my feelings would be too.

    I think you will have to decide between your authentic self-expression and appealing to others. You will need to weigh up how important it is to you, potentially sacrificing a relationship for it, but if its that much of a priority to you then that relationship wasnt meant to be in the first place.



  • The real problem isnt immigration, its how its handled. People arent being integrated into society and the “Germans vs immigrants” propaganda is gaining popularity by that. Most immigrants in recent times are refugees. Sure, it would be “better” if they could stay where they came from, but thats not possible and taking care of them for the time being is the least we could do.









  • I think you have a misunderstanding here. Theres no “more money”, its tax money that already exists. Its not printing money, its simply a shift from top to bottom.

    That’s not what I said. I said inflation will just eat up any standard of living gains you think you will make.

    This part cant be true. How much inflation do you think UBI would cause? Like 100%? That would mean a household with an income of 4000$ and 2500$ spendings per month would not be able to afford their current lifestyle because they would need 5000$. Doesnt seem realistic.

    But even in that scenario, people who lived off of 300$/month before would have 1300$ while their spendings would only increase to 600$. Thats definitely a gain.
