some people are taking “doomed” to mean “dead”. this is actually a misconception! you can be doomed even if you don’t die! it’s sometimes worse if you don’t die!
post: mentions reading comprehension in even yhe vaguest way
every single commenter: Exactly. This. Read it again. sometiems theres icky things in stories that hurt your feelings but that DOESNT MEAN the author is a bad person. sometimes stories are about evil and vile and disgusting things but its okay. its FINE yo write about any fantasy you ever have because It Is Not Real. depiction is NOT support. if your feelings gwt hurt by a story its because youre an idiot child. im actually personally coping bevause i am a survivor of whatever thing you morally oppose. having funny xD racism momwnts in your books is notmal. hashtag i love child pornography. hashtag the owk house on disney channel
Or just go to browse and hang out! I promise it will be inspiring :)
It’s also a lot easier to do research in a library; sure, it’s one thing to have internet access, but it’s another to have wifi access to databases and books on the topic an approximate two minute walk away.
So Arizona launched an âeducation hotlineâ that allows âconcerned parentsâ to report âââcritical race theoryâââ and other things like ~gender identity~ being taught in the classroom
It would be a shame if the number and email were spread to bad actors looking to prank call the AZ Department of Education
and for the love of god, donât just spam it with memes or le funny shrek jokes or whatever, theyâll just hang up
make plausible-sounding reports for things that donât actually exist, so that they actually have to waste time/resources investigating false leads - the goal is to waste time they would otherwise be using to do their jobs, not to get tumblr clout for being an epic troll
So apparently the internet article said the superintendent wouldnât be deterred by the prank calls because they would âtaper off eventuallyâ. Itâd be a real shame if this post stayed in circulation via queues so they get a consistent list of prank calls to filter through. đ
“The trannies should be able to piss in whatever toilet they want and change their bodies however they want. Why is it my business if some chick has a dick or a guy has a pie? I’m not a trannie or a fag so I don’t care, just give ‘em the medicine they need.”
“This is an LGBT safe space. Of COURSE I fully support individuals who identify as transgender and their right to self-determination! I just think that transitioning is a very serious choice and should be heavily regulated. And there could be a lot of harm in exposing cis children to such topics, so we should be really careful about when it is appropriate to mention trans issues or have too much trans visibility.”
One of the above statements is Problematic and the other is slightly annoying. If we disagree on which is which then working together for a better future is going to get really fucking difficult.
I think this is something young people in particular are confused about. My dad has always had a slightly off color sense of humor, he always feels the need to privately ask me “boy turned girl or girl turned boy?” if I mention a friend and stress said friend’s pronouns, and yet when we had repair work done in the house and the worker was listening to a podcast discussing the evils of transgender people and how to cleanse society, he went out of his way to contact the owner of the business to discuss his disappointment with that worker’s conduct and stress the negative effect that could have had if there had been trans kids in our home.
Our allies will never be perfect. They will never use the perfect language or have the perfect politics. But we have to appreciate those allies and meet them where they are, especially if they are willing to learn.
why have us queer people as a community normalized terms like “boygirl” or “girlboy” or other things like that but not like. the actual experience of being multigender. i swear some people will be like “ahaha its so cool and swag to be a #girlboy #boygirl” then turn around and be like “MEN DNI THIS POST IS ABOUT WOMEN” “MEN CANT BE LESBIANS (because no man is ever a woman too)” etc etc like come on guys
