🫂 now more than ever your connecting to people, your being visible, matters. Yes, you. To add to other replies, yes you are indeed loved, you are enough, and you have so much uniquely to offer your communities.
Please try and remember that comparsion is the theif of joy; your specific life experience is valuable. It’s far from easy, but it is so worth it, and powerful, to set an example for others who might be closeted or feeling they wont be accepted.

Idk about “being anti-racist is the new racism” but i do know anti-racism is hollow without opposing imperialism", signal boosting where i found that: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCC6o7j4ZNNziKnCyds8-XzA
This.
Not a big fan of Tik Tok but fuck this fedposting bootlicker OP.
One more post for this thread and then protecting my energy. Topic of great passion, interest and survival for me.
You are not an asshole for protecting your energy from abusive behavior.
The following must not be confused with abusive/asshole behavior:

Social Ostracization and Bannishment should be a last resort only.
We can do better with communal moderation and conflict resolution.
I reccomend the youtube channel AnRel to address some of the greater nuances
Also, this playlist is something i return to every so often: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaOxDnLZqNcmxxkuxTVxYnhrYEOeoTRjP
neurotypical feels like a slur
Genuinely, as someone who’s been on both the moderating and recieving end of communal moderation as a traumatized trans and disabled person, this topic is an iceberg. Social osratcization and bannishment shouldnt be weilded heavy handedly.
If you feel so oppressed, be glad that people empathize with you for your congruence with mental state, brain chemisty and so much more that we barely even have words much less proper understanding at large for, which is all lumped in to “neurodivergent”, and that your every choice is not medicalized and psychoanalyzed for being so bold as to be out about it.
Im over the respectability politics ☮️
Seems like some users thought this thread was a free pass to question neurospicy folks legitimacy regardless of assholeishness. Cool lemmy.world, cool /s
Nice try but again just because you dont like it, doesnt mean your censorship will result in anything other than silencing marginalized people’s perspectives, while allowing the status quo to go unchecked. Everything’s political.

Two genders: Men and Political
Two races: White and political
Two orientations: Straight and political
Sorry but if you sweep it under the rug then your moderation is derelict of it’s duty / irresponsible or indeed potentially lethal.
Lol ok
Peter Steele may well have been poorly educated or informed about things like catholocism, and some of his lyrics did come off chuddy/misogynist…but ya sure can point to him in these sorts of situations so 🤷♀️
Ruck Fussia (at least it’s orthodox queerphobic demographic) and embrace the fagginess tho, where and whenever possible 🧙♀️
Yuuup. It’d be funny if it weren’t so harmful 🙃

And then as an anarchist heathen I’ve embraced “Many gods, no masters” because pagans in general are a more open minded and far less dogmatic group than atheists are as a group.
May I submit, also: “No Demagogues, No Managers” as a more modern, relevant and actionable version – Combatting Populism and refusing to be “Just Following Orders”, especially those of Fascists.
Womens sports were never about protecting women, full stop. They were sold as such, sure (racist and transphobic moralizing fear campaigns have so often scored political offices).
Women’s sports exist to protect (a faceless majority of) men’s egos from women’s excellence. The fact that FIDE still enforces women’s chess is a glaring example.
To “cover all bases” though: When it comes to physiology, it would make so much more sense to have weight classes irregardless of sex or gender identity.
Fact is we have entrenched, wealthy institutions with lots of bastards who refuse to see the humanity of another gender or skin tone other than their own, and until they croak they’ll drag out every backwards tradition they can force down our throats.
14 states + DC have shield laws protecting trans healthcare. 2 more have shield executive orders. Wish it were more, but folks certainly have more options than this piece articulates yeah
Literally a case of “Weird flex, but ok”
The person reading this is cute.
