If any minority group was being systemically oppressed, I would absolutely love if the shows and games my children were into included messaging of the problem and how every human is inherently equal.

And you may think your wording is hyperbole, but trans people are actually being exterminated in parts of the world and imprisoned in others, and are actively having their rights and legal identities taken away in the US as well.

People upset about seeing trans messaging are the same people who would say "i don't care about people being gay but stop shoving it down my throat" when they saw one gay couple kiss on tv that month while also seeing 100 straight couples kissing.

But it can cause long-term and permanent damage to certain organs, and that is a pretty big reason to care. Unfortunately that fact doesn't seem to clear the hurdle of point 3 on your list for many people.

I often don't like it when customer service people say this to me if I have been waiting to resolve an issue that is the company's fault, because my waiting is barely a choice; the company screwed up and now I am 'forced' to spend time getting it resolved.

Only apologize or thank me when it's personal and sincere. (The size of the business matters a lot in if the apologies or thanks feel genuine.)

Are you okay having the tables flipped and someone calling you "sis"?

Using male language as the default may not bother you and you may have no ill intent with it, but it does have a history tied to it. A history where women were seen as less than and didn't have equal rights. Western society still uses male language slang regardless of gender (hey guys, dude, bro, bruh) and it all stems from a history of a patriarchal society. Every time we say, "hey guys" to refer to a mixed-gender group, we perpetuate patriarchy, whether we intended to or not.

Legally and overall culturally, women are still seen as less than and we still don't have equal rights (e.g. divorce and abortion law).

Done. TeePublic is dead to me.

In the wake of worker strikes and Amazon’s continued enshittification, I have pledged to stop buying anything from them.

Capitalism is draining ~~the~~ life

Perhaps they have stopped thinking critically and believe that whatever is legal is ethical.

I'll save them some time: The entire for-profit insurance, prison, and banking industries are unethical.

This should be teaching us to work at the local and state levels to change the political process.

Pets don't want this. Don't do stuff like this to pets for internet points or real money.

If everyone dropped their health insurance tomorrow, a lot more people would die and face bankruptcy and homelessness. People don't want to hurt themselves in order to change the system; they want to hurt their oppressors in order to stop the oppression.

I have had trouble with it finding addresses as well. I use Magic Earth for driving because it can actually find most all the locations I search for.
