That's not gonna work out. You can't explore your gender like that, the entire point is that you have to try things out in an open-ended way and find out through experimentation what you need to feel comfortable with yourself. We've all grown up in a deeply transphobic society, when you may be trans yourself you have to ignore limitations of permissible gender expression to find out of something resonates with you. When you set fixed limits on what's still masculine enough for your partner, you can't have that, and when you're having a gender crisis you by definition can't declare in advance what you're gonna do and where you're gonna end up.
I'm sorry to be so blunt, but cis dudes pls stfu about things you know less than nothing about, this is extremely bad, counterproductive and potentially life-destroying advice you're giving.

For a second i was scared this was copaganda, but this i can approve of.
That bat handbag omg
ofc the washed up boomer comedian and the CIA asset agree that "the elites" are the Jews and their trans agenda
It's practically a given that they didn't flee because of that. If his family would've had something to worry about, they wouldn't have been in East Germany any longer when it was still the Soviet Occupation Zone. Anybody high up in the NSDAP, anybody involved with the SS Einsatzgruppen etc. etc., they already knew what was coming for them when the Red Army moved on Berlin. And unless they were so deeply involved in war crimes that you would know their last name from school, they would have had no reason to flee West Germany with its eagerness to rehabilitate nazi criminals.
That doesn't mean his grandparents weren't nazis during 1933-45, odds are pretty good they may have been, but anybody who left either German state when the Cold War was already underway didn't do so because of any involvement in nazi war crimes or anything like it. They unfortunately didn't have to. And any "former" nazis who made it to the USA didn't go there because they had to escape punishment, but because the US government had a lucrative job offer for them.
Masha Gessen's essay is abolutely worth reading if you want a good outside view of what's happening with Germany's present day relationship with (anti-)antisemitism. As somebody who fled the USSR in the 1980s, their views on communism and on the Russian-Ukraine war are something that will raise a lot of eyebrows around here and i don't agree with some of their takes on Palestine, either, but takes like that quote really put the finger on what's gone wrong with how this country deals with its past in recent years.
I'd say it's the point where hegemony instead of brute force works as the primary control mechanism.
i thought you'd like tendrils i grew them just for you
The war on terror actually led to the murder of an estimated 3-4 million people during the last twenty years. 1 million is just Iraq, this is not including how the destabilization of the region led to the civil war in Syria, it does not include Libya, it does not include Afghanistan, Yemen, Pakistan.
