      If that’s what you think equity looks like then I’d say any judgement of your character was likely spot on.

          Waste of time since your ability to read seems low. Equality ≠ equity

              No. Reductively I’d say equity is a prerequisite for equal opportunity.

                  Equity comes out of the idea that people don’t all have the same ability or means to do things. Equity is the leveling of the playing field so that no matter someone’s level of intelligence, economic background, or any other efficiency/deficiency, everyone has the same opportunity to participate.

                  Equality gives staircases to everyone. In this case, not everyone can go up a floor. Equity builds ramps, lifts, or both. In this case everyone has an equal opportunity to go up a floor. You can’t have equal opportunity without equity.

                  • Say im really good at running up staircases should i not be rewarded for my staircase climbing prowess?

                    Should i be forces to stop climbing staircases to build an elevator for people who cant climb stairs?

                    Say im really good at climbing stairs but im lazy why would i bother climbing stairs to build an elevator for someone when i could simply wait till someone builds an elevator for me?

                    If u cant make it up a floor then thats unfortunate take it up with Charles darwin.

      Sorry you took our opposition to colonialism and white supremacy personally. Maybe you should think about why. That’s clearly not the intention.

          Oh okay, so removed are your thing… whatever, colonialism and white supremacy were examples. You can say whatever you want, dude, and you clearly have on any number of occasions. Don’t mistake us calling you out for your bullshit for suppression of your free speech. As a self-proclaimed removed, I’m guessing you probably don’t fully understand the issues you’re talking about. I’d be more likely to call you ignorant, which is fine, because ignorance can be cured.

              Well, I was making fun of your speech patterns but I would understand if the mods want to delete my comment. I think there’s at least some understanding of intent here on lemmy. You clearly either don’t understand gender dysphoria and are proud of your ignorance, or you are just legitimately transphobic. Or maybe a little bit of both. Regardless, getting moderated on an internet forum is not a violation of your free speech either. You said it, I responded to it. We’re having a conversation. Free speech. You don’t get to yell the n word in the lobby of a hotel either.

              • Free speach is a philosophical concept. Its not like freedom wasnt invented until the Americans decided to write the constitution.

                Im not gonna have this discussion rn cos frankly im sick of having it. But that being said many (socially progressive) nations have done independent studies (for the purpose of their socialised medicine) on the effectivness of said various treatments and found no statisticly significant improvement in health outcomes (self harm, suicide, depression etc).

                  So is freedom of association, and there is a give and take between the two, and other rights for that matter.

                  You and me both.

                  I’ve seen the one from Finland? Sweden? in the 80s trotted out over and over again as if science doesn’t progress. More recent studies show that gender affirming care is extremely effective in improving mental health outcomes. Here’s just one on puberty blockers and hormones that says 60% less incidence of depression and 73% less incidence of suicidality: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35212746/.

      If you’re not a queer person of color this comment is so insanely ironic.
