Yeah most of the frustration I'm seeing (and experiencing tbh) isn't paired with a sentiment that we should end lockdown. It's just venting that we're doing everything right and it's still not getting where it needs to be, and frankly fatigue from the lockdown. Like, this situation objectively loving sucks, and I am feeling new levels of annoyance and depression at it all, I want to see my family and friends, but that does not mean I think restrictions should be lifted. It's the right thing but it's loving hard.

CelestialScribe posted:Are you saying that it's okay to risk spreading the virus, if the cause is important enough? If so, then the argument against me should not be, "you are threatening someone's health" but "your reason is not good enough to break restrictions". Those are two very different things. Your reason is not good enough to break restrictions

Proud of the hard work of everyone in Melbourne who dealt with the restrictions to get us here, despite the best efforts of some people to undermine all this work by e.g. going to parks outside of the restrictions just because they felt like it

Into The Mild posted:Oh like a gay sauna..... wait you said usually for gay men... there’s hetro versions of this? Yeah what the other poster said, plus obviously bi men and msm and sometimes trans folk who are not men. I think het ones are way less common as a standing venue, that kind of thing usually happens in like private residences, but they exist

I have been watching the UK turn into loving terf Island over the past few years and just anxiously waiting for that poo poo to get imported. I was shocked (in a good way) when Greg Hunt told the people calling for the inquiry into treating trans kids to essentially get hosed, but good to know even the non-murdoch media is doing its best to keep the flame alive. At least if this poo poo really kicks off I can follow in one of my UK sister's footsteps and seek asylum in NZ

JBP posted:There is no point it's just a forums convo. I do think it's moderately interesting to consider the source being a shithouse parent versus an agent provocateur. It is absolutely 100% believable to me that someone wrote that and thinks those things. There's some real factual inaccuracies about the system in there, and some really common TERF talking points ('transgenderism' is a bit of a giveaway) some of which are imported pretty directly from the UK TERFy conversation, but I have absolutely no doubt that the person who wrote it would believe they are true. That's why it's horrendous journalism to just print some anonymous op-ed and not fact check the person's claims. I really, really feel for her son, I can't imagine how much it would suck to have a transphobic parent in that way while still being completely under their control. I feel like it either ends with the mum coming to accept her son and realising she was wrong about this, or she will kiss her relationship with her son goodbye (which the school counsellor has already warned her about) in which case she'll blame the 'trans cult' for doing it and get further and further into the TERFy bullshit.

Ever since they relaxed the restrictions for the masks in Melbourne, I have had a few instances where I've forgotten, so I think I'm going to pretend I still need to wear it all the time. My brain jusy works better with "outside of house = mask all the time" than "sometimes, if you're going to be indoors at these particular places". I recently made it all the way to the checkout of a supermarket before I realised I'd forgotten, was shocked noone stopped me
