Weave, weave the sunlight in your hair

We should let anybody come into any space or movement they want. People should be allowed to call themselves anything they want, and if they don’t fit the definition, we should just change the definition. We should divorce all movements, spaces, art, culture, history, and language from their original context, because everyone needs to be allowed to be everything, and inclusivity is holiest amongst all things, even if that means the destruction of entire communities, political frameworks, neighborhoods, and artistic movements.

when I was in high school I had a literature teacher who had a policy of unlimited extra credit. All you had to do was read a book by a notable author (his discretion) and have a little chat with him after school to prove that you read it. No limits, no need for variety (one month I decided I really loved Kurt Vonnegut and just read everything of his I could get my hands on).

The amount of transphobes that just don't know anything about swords or fencing is fucking killing me. Firstly, alot of fencing competitions are gender neutral. Secondly even if someone who did have a massive strength advantage entered a fencing competition that still wouldn't help them too much because a duel with swords is very rarely decided on strength. It doesn't matter how strong you are, if your opponent hits you that's a point for them. Fencing is won entirely by fucking knowing how to fence, shockingly.
