Do I really have to explain why he’s great?

Came here to say that. Martin writes Arya, Brienne, and Asha very clearly as strong women who are confined by gendered expectations. He never pretends they aren’t women and, I think, actually has some good commentary on how those expectations hurt women with these character as well as Sansa and Cersei.

The hashtags on that are amazing:

Trans: 6

Slurs for homosexual women: 6

Lesbian: 1

Remind me again why we’re supposed to believe these people have our interests at heart.

julesburm1891

but what if you fall in love with someone before they announce they are trans?

Uh, the same thing I’d do if I feel in love with anyone who revealed himself to be a dude larping as a woman—cut them out of my life and reflect on what a colossal waste of time it was

Also TQ+: only 11% of gay men say they’d consider dating a trans person and most of those say they’d only consider a transwoman. This is why we’re so oppressed!!

Anyone else watching Stranger Things?

It’s shake a stick at where I’m from. I love how expressions differ around the world.

Uh, wouldn’t talking about kink in the workplace be considered sexual harassment? You’re not acknowledging that Dave is married to a man and asking people not to harass him for it. You’re specifically talking about sexual practices without others’ consent or comfort in mind. Which, if every sexual harassment training I’ve ever sat through is to be believed, would be sexual harassment.

Why would I ever want to drop the G? Who else will I watch Ab Fab reruns with?

On the real, we all have our own issues and I’m fine with giving space to those and expecting to receive it in turn. That being said, we’re unified by being same-sex attracted and firmly believe this is why we should help each other when we can. T can die mad about not having anything to actually do with us.

No further comment.

It truly is.

This has all the energy of the MLM woman on your feed saying haters may doubt her business.

The irony of this is that Ukraine has made transwomen stay and fight because they’re able-bodied men.

julesburm1891

Okay, I’m as staunchly pro-Ukrainian as they come and even I think this is ridiculous. Much like black LGB people, Ukrainian LGB are already included in the rainbow.

julesburm1891

Imagine having the fucking audacity to say this to a black lesbian. Just imagine. Dear lord.

clears my evening to go watch this

I too am curious what the responses would be if this was only asked of older people or of people in very rural areas. Because in this urban sampling there seemed to be kind of a generational divide and kind of a gender divide. (Older people and men seemed less on board. Although I absolutely adored the older woman who said she loved everyone.) Maybe those divides get wider the more one moves away from urban areas? Or maybe this really is indicative of how average people feel? I hope he’ll do a video where he goes East and asks the same question.

I speak some Russian and have seen some pretty horrible anti-gay state media. So, it was surprising to see that a lot of regular people don’t share the sentiment. It was a little weird how they only thought of gay men though. It didn’t seem to occur to anyone that women are gay too. (They were definitely using the word for man and masculine pronouns in answers.)

So this asshat wants the guy to repaint his house a trademarked symbol that could potentially cause him legal trouble? (Never mind the audacity of telling an internet stranger how to paint their house unsolicited.)

julesburm1891

I had to look up who Emily Bridges is and holy fuck that Diva cover is both lighting tricks and a fuckload of photoshop. That’s a whole ass ugly man in reality.

Which really begs the question of why an ostensibly lesbian magazine is editing a man to look more like a woman on its cover. Are they just trying to lie to young lesbians?

julesburm1891

It’s almost like sexual attraction is sex-based…

This is a YouTube channel I watch fairly regularly where a guy just asks random people questions on the streets of different Russian cities. (It’s interesting to hear what regular people really think given the very fractured relationship between Russia and the West.)

Anyways, I found this interesting and was curious what your thoughts were. (My big takeaway is there seems to be no “born this way” view of things.)

I really love all the comments saying that people are out because there’s more acceptance. Okay, so where are all the trans and queer people from Gen X, the Boomers, and the Silent generation? Why are all these people Gen Z or millennials?
