What exactly is a centerfold?

Edit: I know about the existence of magazine posters, I just didn't know that term, English isn't my first language

But doesn't a chaser stand between a trans person and a full transition?

(Or is it even the goal of most trans people to get bottom surgery? I don't know too many trans people personally, so I'd love some input here)

You're a chemical with a doctorate?

I've only learned about the existence of chasers recently, so I'd just have some questions so I understand it right

1: So the problem with chasers is, that they specifically want trans people before they get bottom surgery, and therefore don't support a person's full transition, but want them to stay in a state kinda in-between. Do I understand that right?

2: Why don't chasers just look for non-binary people that have the attributes they're interested in?

I'm not talking about salaried management. Of course you need those positions. I'm talking about the owner/shareholders, who do no/next to no work, and reap the profits of the company.

This isn't about small companies with a handful of people, it's about the ones with thousands of employees. And being a freelancer basically means not having anyone beneath you.

The whole point is about the massive amount of surplus value the employer takes off the employee. In small companies, due to a lack of machines, experience, connections in the industry and other things, there needs to be more work done for the same profit. So the employers will have to work themselves to rival other major corporations.

You shouldn't see these type of things as a critique on the person, but on the system. You have to exploit your workers, otherwise you won't be able to compete with the ones that do.

If you are a fair boss, and you give your employees the actual value of their work, you don't have any to invest, and will eventually fall behind on technology. So the more someone exploits others, the more they're able to invest in tech, therefore increasing their workers productivity, and the amount of money they can extract.

The owner of a major company has to be a major exploiter, otherwise they wouldn't be where they are.

That's why the problem is the system, not the person

Is 4tran on the 4chan website? Cuz all the racist and sexist shit I've seen there make it hard for me to believe that that community could exist there without constant brigading

I saw quite a lot of positive stuff about him on reddit, I'll assume just a passable PR team?

I'm not American, so I know very little about newscom, what's so bad about him?

With how many native speakers still mess up your and you're, and especially "should of" instead of should've, I would actually wager theyre a native speaker

But they'd be unemployed, and therefore wouldn't have money for shit. So nice, you can starve to death with your family
