Christine @cbowsin.bsky.social · 29/01/2025If human rights are conditional in your democracy, is it really a democracy worth fighting for. 011
Christine @cbowsin.bsky.social · 02/01/2025When reading articles, a consumer is already investing time and is more likely to check sources and credibility. This is why conspiracy theorists use meme warfare to bypass critical thinking and appeal to the scrolling short attention span consumer. 121
Christine @cbowsin.bsky.social · 24/12/2024Yes? District Court blocked the TN GAC ban as unconstitutional due to sex equality. Appeals court reversed claiming sex equality doesn't apply. Politico Op-Ed is saying sex equality should be applied. Not seeing the reason for opposition. 000
Christine @cbowsin.bsky.social · 24/12/2024Calling Biden a backstabber and liar as he opposes the Gender Care ban in the NDAA is performative journalism, not informative. Let me know when outrage culture becomes a winning strategy, I'll wait. 000
Christine @cbowsin.bsky.social · 19/12/2024Claiming the -ism in Autism is analogous to adding -ism to Transgender is possessing the particular quality of dumbism. Refusing to accept how language changes from being to not being derogatory is a terrible semantic argument. 'Transgender is not a mental illness.' See, not hard and shorter. 010
Christine @cbowsin.bsky.social · 19/12/2024This is why it is important for LGBTQ to be taught in schools and to promote anti-bullying. This is why it's important to discuss the similarities and differences between Orientation and Identity. Price is deciding to join the bullies and transphobes to oppress both gay and trans kids. 010
Christine @cbowsin.bsky.social · 19/12/2024By his own admission above, he was the one demanding medical intervention at 14. Yet now he's going around blaming health professionals for manipulation. Clear sign of refusing accountability. 100
Christine @cbowsin.bsky.social · 19/12/2024LGBP people who experience distress due to orientation may resort to identity change as a coping mechanism. I think this should be talked about, but it becomes difficult to do so when these individuals resort to transphobia as a means to cope with their own failure of recognizing their sense of self 100
Christine @cbowsin.bsky.social · 18/12/2024You tell those 14% Republicans and 12% Independants Jeffries. 000
Christine @cbowsin.bsky.social · 18/12/2024Who's gonna tell her that precocious puberty is also natural. 130
Christine @cbowsin.bsky.social · 17/12/2024It bugs me that I don't know who or which outlet asked this. What reporter with press credentials felt it important for law enforcement to respond to 'I heard on Facebook that...' Anyone with the 'just asking questions' approach is bad faith, and their credibility in journalism questioned. 010
Christine @cbowsin.bsky.social · 17/12/2024I would say somewhat. It's true that anti-trans antagonists lie, exaggerate, and spread misinformation through media. Adults can be influenced, and public opinion can be swayed and changed with bankrolled campaigns, which is measureable. 020
Christine @cbowsin.bsky.social · 17/12/2024Easy to say the right thing, doing the right thing is a different story. 000
Christine @cbowsin.bsky.social · 16/12/2024In order for corporations (the rich) to continually report profits to satisfy investors (also the rich), they must continually decrease expenses (labor costs) while increasing costs of goods/services (burden to consumers). 010
Christine @cbowsin.bsky.social · 15/12/2024Okie dokie. 👍 If we had 3 more Dem House seats, do you think we would have been discussing Bathroom Ban House rules? Political parties should be criticized. Putting parties into a monolith with an argument all or nothing is just another form of 'it's both sides', which only benefits the Right. 130
Christine @cbowsin.bsky.social · 13/12/2024And she responded with rules for thee, not for me. Is that double LAMF? Republicans make rules to exclude others, and when they themselves are excluded, they're like, 'but you're trans!' 020
Christine @cbowsin.bsky.social · 11/12/2024Beth Bourne should 'pretend' to be crazy so she can get the scandalous help she needs. 271
Christine @cbowsin.bsky.social · 11/12/2024Reminds me of an episode of The Newsroom.... Business exec: Three outlets are running this story. Run the story! Producer: No! They're all going off the one source, I need two sources. Was a good episode. 000
Christine @cbowsin.bsky.social · 10/12/2024#Simpsons #MNF. The live stream is about 1 - 2 mins behind the broadcast of the game. Having little interest in sports, I'd say this is just as good. Loved hearing "Touchdown Ralph Wiggum!" I wouldn't remember the player's names anyway. Only commercials are for ESPN+ & Disney+, also a win. 110
Christine @cbowsin.bsky.social · 09/12/2024I sometimes ponder if people would know whether or not they've been radicalized. It makes me think of this scene in Loki. 000
Christine @cbowsin.bsky.social · 09/12/2024Nationalism is Pride in the country you want it to be, not how it is. The Klan had pride in a white Christian nation. The Nazis had pride in an Aryan Reich. Nationalists hate the people in the country that don't fit their vision for the country, and is rooted in intolerance. Therefore, it is wrong. 100
Christine @cbowsin.bsky.social · 08/12/2024National Voter Suppression for everyone. In a country that introduced the world to WMDs, put Men on the Moon, and invented the internet; we still can't figure out how to ask every American adult who should be in government. 000
Christine @cbowsin.bsky.social · 04/12/2024Our Duty was founded by Keith Jordan, a UK anti-trans advocate. I question how liberal left-leaning that group actually is. 000
Christine @cbowsin.bsky.social · 02/12/2024Republicans act as if people with penises are going to be on full display while they do their business. 🙄 000
Christine @cbowsin.bsky.social · 02/12/2024Don't support those individuals. They act like that because they weaponize identity and orientation to silence others. They represent the T community as much as I do, which is none at all. 110
Christine @cbowsin.bsky.social · 01/12/2024blueskyroast.com 'Tendency to reply to trolls' Ugh! As if!! 🙇♀️ 120
Christine @cbowsin.bsky.social · 29/11/2024How something is advertised is not always the reality. You're thinking of the advertised Christian and not the real Christian. 120
Christine @cbowsin.bsky.social · 26/11/2024In 2019, Joel Finkelstein wrote a paper about how Jordan Peterson "inadvertently" appeals to white supremacists. If he sees Peterson as ideologically center, then makes more sense how he equates DEI to left wing authoritarianism. 010
Christine @cbowsin.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Also the NCRI basically excerpted the work of @ibramxk.bsky.social and Robin DiAngelo and wrote it in the 'language' of DEI initiatives from many places to claim their essay represents DEI .... does it ... are we sure about that. 210
Christine @cbowsin.bsky.social · 26/11/2024DEI is more of a course/training. Sure, systemic racism could come up if applicable to the position, where the 'historical context' is one aspect. But if that is all that is presented, then people are going to be pissed especially if it's relatable. 100
Christine @cbowsin.bsky.social · 26/11/2024NCRI then presents the scenario: Person A applies to a school, and person B rejects their application. This is followed by a series of questions regarding bias & discrimination and what consequences there should be for this action. 200
Christine @cbowsin.bsky.social · 26/11/2024They covered 3 categories: Caste, Racism, and Islamaphobia. I'm just going to cover the racism portion. The NCRI wrote an essay on 'Extreme Egalitarian' (aka equality) and gave it to the 'DEI' group. Then wrote an essay about corn 🌽 and gave it to the control group. 100
Christine @cbowsin.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Where the NCRI shows that the DEI group claimed more hostility occurred than the control group. 100
Christine @cbowsin.bsky.social · 26/11/2024The first question is, is it true. I suspect most RW Media is gonna spin and embellish where they can. The NCRI report states: 1. They collected DEI material. 2. They excerpted rhetoric from said material to produce surveys. 3. Concluding that not only was bias reduced, but more was created. 100
Christine @cbowsin.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Hostile attribution bias is the assumption that others are being hostile when they're are not. Which if misused would allow hostile actors to gaslight victims by claiming they have a hostile bias from 'radical left indoctrination.' 100
Christine @cbowsin.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Fox also ran this "story" which are based on the recently released report from the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) called: Instructing Animosity: How DEI Pedagogy produces the hostile attribution bias. 110
Christine @cbowsin.bsky.social · 26/11/2024Thread: DEI I was just reading about this and will add my thoughts, but I searched to see if anyone else was discussing this, and this post popped up. BLOCK: Dailycaller Don't need Russian asset Tucker Carlson mouthpiece here. 111
Christine @cbowsin.bsky.social · 25/11/2024The grift that keeps on grifting. Now you can walk around with a bathroom sign. 010
Christine @cbowsin.bsky.social · 25/11/2024She's up to 53k following and most common mutual I see when I go to block. Yes, people need to be responsible with who they follow and allow follow. 110
Christine @cbowsin.bsky.social · 25/11/2024I'm pointing out she had to refer to a different country that has much less violence against women 110
