I am cisgender and aroace. I treat trans people just as equally as everyone else.
So why does Twitter (I'm not calling me X anymore) hate me now? Do I have to identify as anything other than male to be liked by a toxic community? (I am AMAB) Is this some form of counter-discrimination?
Obviously trans people deserve rights, but that doesn't mean cis people should have their rights taken away from them.
It's not about cis bad, it's about "I don't want to be called cis, I want to be called normal"
Oh is it? My immediate thought was that it was Elon being childish and basically saying like, "if I can't say x slur, then I'm going to pretend it's the same as this clinical, scientific term to make a point."
Like that he thinks he's truly made an amazing satirical statement here or something...
Ok, got it
I am like 87% cis and like 67% het. Gender and sexuality isn't a spectrum, it's a probability field.
I bet all the conservatives are gonna be mad when they find out that even I have no idea if I'm truly male or not. That would make me genderqueer, which is a subset of trans. I mean, I do look very masculine, and use he/him pronouns, but my voice is a bit too... "gay", and I like wearing tight clothing and oversized sweaters with bucket hats (bonus points if it's a color that isn't even close to being associated with manliness, at least where I'm from, such as... idk, pink, and in the case of what I would wear, purple).
What's the percentage of cis in that case? 50%? Less? More? How would being aroace affect my het percentage?
Pink and blue only became gender coded because corporations wanted to sell more merchandise.
Until then, everyone wore blue and pink.
The complicated gender history of pink
Purple is a wicked color because it's the color of royalty.
Purple: an enchanting pigment reserved for royals and rulers
Cool story.
It’s the 1% manufacturing consent for a return to slavery while everyone is distracted by their phones
I don't understand what you mean by that.
The 1% see the working class as animals. They only care about creating wealth. They don’t want nonbinary, trans or gay people in society. That takes away from reproduction. It is the real reason behind the abortion bans and rise of far right in the world.
The Republicans have dumbed down education so severe the public doesn’t even recognize what’s happening. Everyone is too distracted on their phones to revolt.
The 1% have made a short term deal with white supremacists to attempt to return to the days of slavery. But they too will be consumed shortly after. America First lol. Everything and anything about us has been commodified for wealth extraction. First they’re coming for your inheritance and family home, then they’ll take the Social Security Reserve fund. The 1% use out of work lawyers and AI to control the narrative and nudge everyone where they want on social media. This has been a long time in the works but number go up brrr.
We willingly buy and carry spy devices constantly everyday, everywhere we go. They have amassed so much data on us it’s incredible. The amount of technology being used to spy on us is unfathomable to your average citizen. Snowden tried to tell us. The 1% know if they didn’t do something unions and mobs would come for them eventually.
The 1% were scammed by the oil barons into a false sense of security over oil and its effects. A near extinction event. The climate refugee crisis will be like nothing you can imagine. Water and food shortages for everyone, except the rich of course. Thing is, without the masses who is left?
I’ll elaborate further later
That's a new one for me. "Aroace". I can't imagine what that feels like though. What do I know? The world is so diverse.
Well, imagine being aromantic AND asexual at the same time. The former refers to experiencing no romantic attraction (so... no feeling of love outside of friends and family), the latter refers to experiencing no sexual attraction (so... the lack of a desire to have sex basically).
You need to have sex to have children, which is also something I don't want. Hell, I don't even wanna be married. Most people I know are mad at me for just that, let alone associating myself with the LGBT community for basically not wanting marriage and children... and also not feeling manly enough.
You learn new stuff everyday.
I can't imagine being mad about someone for that. They need to get a hobby.
Well unfortunately they do exist, and they want me to stop it and get married, like a "normal person".
I never wanted to be "normal" to begin with.
