Transcripted version below, for anyone who'd rather read than watch:
(Themsbloke plays two characters in the video, so I've just labelled them A and B, for simplicity's sake)
A:
Oh my fucking god. I've just realised something incredible.
If you want to erase an illness, you don't deny it exists.
You rename it.
I'll take a devastating neurological illness, one that collapses immune systems, starves muscles of oxygen, scrambles blood flow to the brain, and I'll give it a name that sounds like being a bit knackered.
B:
You mean...
A:
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
B:
That's unforgivable.
A:
Perfect, isn't it? Because now, when people lose the ability to stand, to speak clearly, to tolerate light, sound, touch, everyone will think they just need an early fucking night!
B:
What does it actually do to them?
A:
It destroys them. It turns effort into poison. It makes thinking feel like lifting concrete. It makes bodies crash so hard people can't feed themselves, they can't wash, they can't remember words! Some will lie in dark rooms for years.
B:
Years?
A:
Decades. Children will get it. Teenagers will lose their education. Adults will lose careers, independence, homes.
I'll make exertion Actively dangerous, where one walk, one conversation, one shower can cause a multi-day systemic collapse.
B:
That's sadistic.
A:
I'll erase it from medical textbooks. I'll defund research. I'll tell patients to Exercise, even when exercise physically harms them!
B:
So, this isn't fatigue?
A:
... What did you just fucking say to me?
B:
... This isn't fatigue?
A:
No. Fatigue is a warning light. This is systemic collapse. Hmm?
This is the body failing to recover from efforts!
This is energy that does not replenish! Huh?
This is a disease where Trying makes you Worse!!
B:
Why hasn't this been taken seriously?
A:
Because of the name. Because once you call it 'Fatigue', you give people permission to dismiss it. Doctors stop listening, government stop funding, friends stop believing, and patients stop trusting their own reality.
B:
So the label matters.
A:
The label is everything. Because when you misname suffering, you mistreat it, you mismanage it, you abandon the people inside it, and ME/CFS patients have been abandoned for generations.
B:
So what are they fighting for now?
A:
To be believed, to be studied, and to be named fucking correctly. Because ME/CFS is not tiredness, laziness, nor a fear of effort; It's a brutal, disabling, life-altering disease. And people are still disappearing, unheard, into dark rooms because we chose a comforting lie over an accurate truth.
B:
So what should we call it?
A:
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. Say it properly.
B:
*fumbles, not even getting past the first M*
A:
Myalgic
B:
Myalgic
A:
En-ceph-a-lo...
B:
Encephalo
A:
My-e-li-tis
B:
Myelitis.
A:
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis.
B:
Myalgic Encephalomyelitis.
A:
Good.
Right! Time to invent Brain Fog!

Thereโs a total of like 6 steps to stir fry and I just found like 8 ways Iโve been doing it less than ideally. Thank you for this! Iโm definitely making stir fry this week and Iโll be using this to guide me.
So we have transmisogyny for trans women, lesphobia for lesbians, biphobia for bi people, gayphobia for gay men, aphobia, arophobia, intersexism, etc. Basically everyone gets their word, but trans men specifically are not allowed to do the same thing because, supposedly, trans men are completely unique in the queer community in that they don't experience any specific oppression.
transmisogyny: the intersection of transphobia and misogyny
lesphobia: the intersection of homophobia and misogyny
transandrophobia: the intersection of misandry and transphobia. since misandry doesn't exist in any meaningful way, neither does transandrophobia. instead, trans men face plain, direct transphobia (and homophobia if they're gay, aphobia if they're asexual, etc.).
to admit transandrophobia exists is to admit discrimination against (heterosexual) men exists, and, in a patriarchal world, that just isn't the case.
You don't understand what intersectionality means. It is not the intersection of oppression, it is the intersection of identity and how that impacts oppression. The original example used was black women experiencing oppression that is not within oppression that can be considered simply anti woman or anti black, but is specifically anti black woman.
This is why the theory has been applied to black men's unique oppression since before it was applied to queer identities. You have it exactly backwards.

regardless of you being queer or not, did your parents ever gave you the "if you turn out to be gay it would be fine" talk, before you ever had the chance to say anything on your own about that?
gen z, yes
gen z, no
millenial, yes
millenial, no
gen x, yes
gen X, no
baby boomer, yes
baby boomer, no
Remaining time: 2 days 16 hours
because it happened to me and im wondering if this was a product of the ongoing cultural change around gay issues. before i ever had the chance to say to my parents "i am this" my mom was already sitting me aside to tell me "if there is anything you want to tell me, i want you to know ill accept you no matter what"
Sorry speaking of subdrop fics like Iโm not trying to stomp on anyoneโs fun but theyโre just soooo ridiculous to me like fucking bottoms out here in fanfic land walking around a flashing red weakness button that if they have sex wrong turns them into irradiated weeping messes or whatever
You too can experience subdrop you donโt even need a dom, just go have any intensely pleasurable (or even just intense) experience. Go on a very long run/hike. Socialize all day long at a high intensity level. Go to Disneyland on a very sunny and hot day
Youโll come home and feel drained and weirdly sad and probably just want to lay on your couch! Thatโs what that is
Remember when Lil Nas X beautifully explored his sexuality, seduced and killed the devil to the banger of all time, and instead of cheering on this openly gay and proud Black artist for his artistry and fighting back against respectability politics, suddenly said respectability politics was all the Queerest Place on the Internet cared about? Hm. Wonder what happened there.
Anyway I miss him and hope he's doing better with his mental health ๐๐พ
Like say what you want about "bad queer representation", but this was the song that made me openly and happily accept that I was bisexual. To see him up there Black and beautiful, making music that I love, absolutely killing it? Yeah. You couldn't tell me shit. This man made me proud to be out. "This will make them think we're evil for being gay" hey newsflash dawg-
i like poetry so other people's words come to mind for this...like Neruda's Sonnet 17 ("I love you as one loves obscure things / between the shadow and the soul"), the way Ocean Vuong talks about Trevor in On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous ("& you wanted to be real, to be swallowed by what drowns you only to the surface, brimming at the mouth. Which is kissing.") and how El-Mohtar & Gladstone talk about hunger in This Is How You Lose The Time War ("Have you ever had a hunger that whetted itself on what you fed it, sharpened so keen and bright that it might split you open, break a new thing out?")
i think my connection to these quotes are all deeply informed by my demisexual tendencies, i feel the most fulfilled when there's an immense emotional depth between me and the other person.ย i look at their body and want it to be mine - to become US and fuck until we are one continuous orgasming creature. i think i feel similar for solo acts too, finding intense euphoria in my body being MINE and doing some ouroboros shit to myself with my wand vibrator. ig to sum i'd describe my experience of sexual attraction as the building hunger for the desired object, the delicious tension between the fantasy in your head and the reality you are currently in!

"Canada, the most affluent of countries, operates on a depletion economy which leaves destruction in its wake. Your people are driven by a terrible sense of deficiency. When the last tree is cut, the last fish is caught, and the last river is polluted; when to breathe the air is sickening, you will realize, too late, that wealth is not in bank accounts and that you canโt eat money."
Wyland has said any financial recovery from the suit would support public art, ocean conservation, and environmental education through his foundation.
"This should have been an opportunity to show the world that global sports, public art, and environmental stewardship can stand together," he said. "Instead, a landmark was painted over. We want to do our part to make sure that what happened here does not become the standard for how public art is treated in cities across America."
