Rules

1.) No bigotry of any kind, and don't be a jerk either

Bigotry includes but is not limited to: ableism, casteism, homophobia, lookism, queerphobia, racism, sexism, transphobia, and xenophobia. Bigotry towards non-binary people is transphobia. Truscum rhetoric is also bigotry. You getting punished for your hateful opinion, however, is not bigotry.

2.) No Spam

This includes both advertising and breaking your or my Lemmy instance's rules, such as vote manipulation or brigading.

3.) Posts must have something to do with being trans, or about trans experiences

Try to stay away from negative political events too. You can joke about it, but bringing attention to something bad happening in the world might take someone out of their comfort zone— this is an escape from the constant news cycle for some.

4.) No Selfies or Character Creations

Selfies are not memes! This is not a community for selfies. Picrews and other character creations such as Sims and Mii's are considered bandwagoning, and perhaps can be a part of a different community.

5.) SFW-only

This is an all ages community, so we prefer it if you take the NSFW stuff to one of the more adult oriented communities. Note: nudity is not allowed, we want everybody to be comfortable here.

6.) Submissions must be a meme or they will be removed
7.) Swearing is fine, but slurs are not

We want everybody to feel safe and comfortable here, so even if you want to reclaim a pejorative word that applies to you— we ask that you don't, as this is a light-hearted community and others stumbling across your post might feel unsafe.

8.) Embedded submissions should only link to trusted image sharing sites, no IP grabbers or link shorteners
9.) Use but don't misuse the report button

If something breaks these rules, or this Lemmy instance's rules, please report it.

10.) Please do not link to any terf, racist, or any other hate communities or forums

Bigots like those do not deserve any attention. Any post or comment linking to a hate community or forum will be removed

11.) Don't be a jerk nor a troll

Be nice, and don't create social chaos. That's it. Pretty simple, huh?

Some notes:

1.) We highly encourage you to use alt text in your posts, so everybody can enjoy this community
2.) It would be really nice if you flaired your posts accordingly in the title

For example, a meme about the non-binary experience could have a title like this: "[NB] Story of my life!" This will make searching for content much easier.

3.) Don't break the law

This includes the country you live in as well as the country your instance is hosted in

Sibling forums:

!egg_irl

Trans memes specifically about being closeted, unaware or in denial

!196

Ordinary memes, but the community is very trans-accepting— and it only has one rule: when you encounter the page you must post a meme from your camera roll

I mean, yeah? From what I've seen of Mark he seems super nice to anyone and supports everyone. The vid of the kid (fan) that won't let go of hugging him cracks me up, Mark just calmly interviewing all the while, unphased 😂.

Whether people like his videos or not is irrelevant. He has done a lot for lots of causes and he genuinely appears to wish everyone the best. It isn't a stunt. Over the years he's put his actions where his words are to prove that he cares.

I don't watch him as much as I used to, but whenever I do or hear something about him, that much hasn't changed.

Right?! I'm shocked that he would just admit he's short like that.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

I hate the comments there...

Holdup, is my 1.78m height (according to Google that's his height) is considered short now?! (Starting from 2018..)

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago

In Germany that's the average for AMAB adults. Not short by any means, but not tall either.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (2 children)

Depending on your country. In the Netherlands it's below average. Also he isn't saying he is short, just not tall.

😭

Well, in my interpretation un-something means the opposite of that something. Like unfair or unhappy. If somebody is unhappy that doesn't mean they are of average happiness, it means they are sad. Therefore, untall means short.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Average happiness would still be happiness. Unhappy would be not happy, but not necessarily sad either. There's lots of different ways to be unhappy other than being sad. Unfair just means something isn't fair. But something being fair is often treated as a binary. Tall and short isn't a binary, so simply not being tall doesn't mean something is short. But in the context of a joke like this, I'd assume "not tall" would be used to be as a comedic understatement.

Also, aren't his two best friends really tall, so he looks a lot shorter next to them?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Well there you go. He feels short in comparison. I'm the same height as you btw, and definitely not tall here. But maybe it is where you are.
