    What if you are fat and white?
    @Salvy
    Can you claim fat phobia if they didn’t invite you?

    Hmm, does fatness trump out the whiteness........ I think it could but a trans white person takes precedent over the fat white person...Question is does a white and black person get to go?

    What if you identify as trans-black like her ? Would cis blacks be forced to accept her trans blackness at the blacks only party?

    wokeness hits dog training

    My Year of Being Extremely Online About Dogs

    excerpt:

    . . . Mr. George’s series of videos seemed to send whatever process had generated those posts into overdrive.“It sounds like dog training has become just one more target for the woke community to prey upon!” a YouTube user wrote. “These are the same people with ‘gender fluid’ dogs,” another wrote, a statement that I found funny, then spent too long trying to parse. (What is standard gender expression in dogs?) I watched a video in which a trainer referred to the “dog training far left,” which should have made no sense, except that at this point, I knew what he meant.

    For the most part, I watched this confusing web of associations go unquestioned; when I found commenters who shared my bewilderment, I screenshotted them with relief. “People are trying to conflate their anti-liberal politics with dog training,” a YouTube user named Bar posted, adding that it’s “super weird.”

    Of course, it would be silly to say that dogs can’t be political: Anyone who has seen photos of German shepherds at civil rights marches should appreciate that they can.

    But there seemed to be something different about what was happening here. The creep of this sort of language into a subject this far afield felt like the apotheosis of something. When I’d describe what I’d seen to friends, it often sparked a visceral combination of exhaustion and despair. (“I kind of hate knowing about this,” one said. “We deserve climate change,” another said.) These were the late-stage culture wars — in decline, perhaps, but still with enough life left to flare up and set fire to new and unexpected territory. Including dogs.

    It means you care about others - woke is something to be proud of, you aren't so selfish that all you worry about is your own interests, but that you actually care for others.

    Glad to be woke !!!! WOKE PROUD !
