Abt switch
The Abt switch is a kind of railway switch used on funiculars (inclined cable railways) that doesn’t have any moving parts. It allows two cars to pass each other going uphill/downhill while sharing the same tracks. While most train switches rely on physically moving a section of track so the train goes one way or the other, the abt switch doesn’t move at all. Instead each carriage has a grooved wheel which makes it turn left or right at a junction by sticking to the track on one side.

Changing our mode of production is only part of the battle, we also need them to understand the gravity of the situation. And we need that to happen, like right now more or less. China plans to continue to emit until 2060 (pretty sure that’s a “net zero” goal too, not a halt on emissions). Far better then anywhere else but still inadequate. And good fucking luck with other top emissions producers. And like whatever, I’m not dooming about climate right now but life is only going to continue to get worse from here out. It’s upsetting because I don’t think if I buckle down for the next decade or two for the trans hate to lessen things will be okay. Even institutions are very much saying it won’t be.
Yes, and why is this possible? Why is it possible to blatantly lie about us and have everyone believe it? Why do cis people understand the pain a girl would experience from her voice changing, but not me? Because they’re willfully ignorant and horrible. And it’s like this basically the whole world over. It’s proven science and no one gives a shit. You can link someone papers and they don’t care. This isn’t just an American thing, a western thing, this is an issue everywhere I have heard about. People believing fake, ridiculous, transphobic shit about us. And that makes sense to me, people the world over believe other ridiculous shit and so why would they have good standards of evidence when it comes to us.
And tbh it’s so horrible it’s going to be one of my first reasons. I can’t deal with it.
Only because dysphoria forces me to. I would love to not. I *hate, hate doing this. This should prove to people how real and painful dysphoria is, and, if we want to assume people aren’t evil bastards for a moment, they should have compassion for me. But they do not.
I don’t really see what you’re saying. Capitalism needs women to accept being women. And yet trans women are targeted much more. Wouldn’t it make much more sense to put trans women on a pedestal, to show women how great being women is so they keep making babies?
That would be nice. I can’t imagine that happening though :/ boobs will also be nice, keep waiting for nipple pain even though I want to wait as long as possible…
