of the wind

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

Question 1/3

Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!

- marsha p. johnson repeatedly identified as a gay man and drag queen and survived into an era where the language did already exist if he chose to identify as transsexual. he explicitly stated that he was not transsexual and claimed that all transsexual people were also homosexual.

- sylvia rivera did identify as a transsexual woman (and made disparaging speeches about lesbians). she was not an ally to lesbians. lesbians and transwomen have not always been allies.

- neither of them were there when the stonewall riots began, according to marsha’s own testimony. sylvia was sleeping off a drug trip on a park bench, and by the time marsha arrived at stonewall, the riots were already in full swing.

- storme delarverie, a mixed black gender-nonconforming lesbian and drag king, may have been the one who incited the stonewall riots. she never identified as a transman despite surviving into an an era where the language was made accessible to do so. accounts differ as to who started the riots.

- stonewall was not a special haven for trans people and drag artists, it was just some bar where gay people met up. by all accounts, it wasn’t even a good bar.

- pride as a festival and parade was invented by gay men, lesbians, and bisexual people. fred sergeant is one of those gay men, and he has been beaten (in recent years, as an elderly man) by trans people and their allies due to his views on medical transition. non-homosexual trans people were unheard of in this era.

Straight Homophobia: Lesbians need to allow room for men in their life and stop prioritising women and being angry, hairy, man-haters.

Queer Homophobia: Lesbians need to accept trans lesbians into their beds or they’re not *real* allies.

Straight Men, as a joke: Hehe lol, I’m basically a lesbian too, eeeeeeeeeey, pussy. High five.

I used two more condor photos by Andrew Orr and Alam Clampitt from peregrinefund.org

Gotta use the skills I learned from making tabloids out of the Jane Austen novels somewhere right?

Basically, Mr grifter announced that he might be getting into the collecting side of yugioh, which would lead to the scalping hell that now plagues the Pokémon and One Piece TCGs

As a joke, MBTYugioh gave them pointers on what to “invest in”, recommending some of the WORST shit products that this game released in the years

He then followed up with a tongue-in-cheek, clearly trolling video recommending shit like Legendary Duelists sets, Duelist of Deep and Synchro Storm, and the Platinum cards, and exclusive COINS before ending the video with “Don’t invest in yugioh. You will lose money due to this game’s reprint policies”

Like, it was very obvious for anyone with half-a-brain cell and is familiar with Yugioh that the video is a joke

BUT a bunch of scalping bots took the video at face value and bought out these doodoo, worthless products immediately after his fuckass video came out

-> kink shouldn't be at Pride

-> "Queer" shouldn't be used as an umbrella term for the community

-> "Queer" was, is and will always be a slur, no matter how hard you try to reclaim it and want to deny this fact. using it as an umbrella term for the community is offensive. try to imagine how you would feel if we started to use a racist/sexist/ableist slur as an umbrella term for any other group, community, etc.

-> lesbians don't like dicks, gay men don't like vaginas

-> lesbian means female homosexual, aka female attracted female, aka biological woman attracted to biological women only. gay means male homosexual, aka male attracted male, aka biological man attracted to biological men only

-> If you like both penises and vaginas, you're bisexual

-> homosexual, bisexual and heterosexual are the only sexualities that exist

-> ace, aro, demisexual, and i don't know what other terms you all created aren't part of the community and pride/pride month isn’t for them. you aren't included. this isn’t for you or about you.

-> same goes for the entire q+ community (non binaries etc). sorry not sorry. you're trying to appropriate our fight and history and to make it about yourselves, which is problematic. you're not concerned by Pride, you're not part of our community and will never be.

-> saying the opposite should be considered cultural appropriation.

-> trans people aren't the ones who started the fight for lgbt rights, they didn't play the biggest role in this fight, and this fight didn't start at Stonewall

-> the new "inclusive" pride flag is bullshit and is an insult to homosexuals and bisexuals. the only valid pride flag is this one 🏳️‍🌈 (and the original one)

-> pride month is about homosexual and bisexual people

-> stop calling straight celebrities "queer icon" "gay icon" or "lesbian icon". actual lgb celebrities exist, you can use them if you really want to do that. i can introduce you to Tracy Chapman, for example.

-> i do recognize that trans people played a role in the fight for our rights and i totally respect that

-> masculine lesbians (and women in general) aren't trans or enby

-> same sex attraction is beautiful and will never be problematic. not wanting to date someone because they're trans and you're not attracted to their bio sex isn’t problematic and if you believe so, you are homophobic

-> "dyke" and "fag" are also slurs, so keep them out of your mouth if you aren't homosexual, and don't use them to talk about homosexuals in general, even if you're homo, even if it's for "pride"

-> real people can't "queerbait"

-> the cotton ceiling theory, as well as calling lesbians "clit fetishists", is totally lesbophobic

-> and saying that homosexuals should fix their sexual attraction (or """genital preference""") is also homophobic

-> using pride to hate on "terfs" is a lack of respect for the history and the meaning of pride, and is mysoginistic

-> Rivera wasn't at Stonewall, Marsha arrived late there, and the T was added to the acronym in the late 90s

-> if you're a trans man you can't be gay and if you're a trans woman you can't be a lesbian

-> if you're attracted to trans women you aren't a lesbian, if you're attracted to trans men you aren't gay
