I honestly don’t know what colour of skin people of the levant would have at that time.

The canon version is people complaining about the Samaritans.

Maybe we are due an updated parable: The Good Transwoman

Just a note, Jesus wasn’t actually purple even though he is depicted here as such.

Okay, but there is a demographic in the UK who understands their identity that way and the law is apparently worded as such appealing to sex.

Thank you for bringing up James Barry, that’s very interesting.

Society being sexist and those being judged as femme being on the receiving end of that discrimination is something I agree with.

But this definition doesn’t account for someone who is female and understands herself to be a woman but didn’t conform to gender norms.

Is womenhood defined by sex, by how society sees you or by your own gender identity.

Maybe its all three in different circumstances and scenarios.

That people hold different values into how we should understand one and other in terms sex and gender isn’t necessarily a problem in a liberal society.

The conception of an identity as a woman being rooted in sex and sex based rights being fought and won for by successive generations against a male dominated and sexist society is in conflict with the the conception of an identity as a woman not being rooted in sex but in ones idea of gender which could include people of the male sex.

This is the best lore update since Thea and proto-Earth

I sorta romanticise the 20th century with its left and right politics battling it out before we entered this age of perpetual neoliberal peace and prosperity

Hello me

I’m not sure I like this comic because it suggests:

1. The immigrant worker is absent a cookie not the other way around
2. That the working class is dimwitted and easily hoodwinked into racism

I think both assumptions are actually copes by a middle class who, afraid to look at its own complicity in neoliberalism, find’s easier to condemn the common people as racist and intellectually deficient.

In actuality I think the working class is intuitively aware that their disfranchisement is directly connected to policies like immigration. Along with the opening up of global markets which had a disruptive affect on wages the policy of open immigration has kept wages low and fractured communities and a common sense of culture.
