My favourite comment:

Lmao I love how yall are framing genderqueer and non-binary lesbians like they're some crazy new trend that came out of nowhere last week after being invented by The Evil Cringe Youth or whatever the hell. Sad to see so many people completely ignorant of and disconnected from actual queer history. Oh well. I shouldn't expect much else from this sub at this point. It's turned into a place where ignorant bootlickers come to whinge about how there was no transphobia and everything was fine before the cringe snowflake queers came along and invented bigotry and ruined everything for the "normal, sane ones"

lol, that's the thing, it is a new trend. i had never heard the phrase "non-binary lesbian" or "genderqueer" until maybe two years ago, never saw it on anyone's profile and now out of the blue i have seen them pop up on mostly male and straight women profiles. they create all these new identities and act like their new identity has been around since the dawn of time and if that doesn't work they'll just add that identity to some poor dead person.

Anyone who can't see the link between social media and this social contagion is wilfully ignorant. A daring theatre director would stage The Crucible by Arthur Miller with the teenage girls replaced by AGPs, non-binaries and transmen, and the accused witches replaced by gender critical/sane people.

Oh god lol, I would love to see that. Can someone like, take the script and replace the names? Post it on Twitter, see how people react?

Chunkee... this is legit brilliant :) And it should feature an introduction reminding the audience that The Crucible isn't some safely-toothless exercise in quaintness, or applicable only to the witch trials/McCarthyism-- that the mind set it warns of is a timeless danger, and comes in many different forms. Some of them ostensibly "modern"/"open-minded"... and even "kind".

Really, I sometimes wonder if the arts are needed to help drive a stake through the TQ+'s heart-- fiction, poetry... another way to reach people, you know? And communicate our experience with this madness. To me, it goes so far beyond mere reason, or anything reminiscent of debate club; can you talk about abuse, and the hell it puts you through, in purely intellectual terms? As an abstraction? Because this whole thing, for most of us here, is VERY personal.

To wake everyone up from this nightmare, I think, we can't just tell them what we know... we need to make them feel what we feel.
