It Often Feels Like Mainstream Acceptance Of Queer People, Particularly Trans And Nonbinary People, Is

It often feels like mainstream acceptance of queer people, particularly trans and nonbinary people, is contingent on there being few of us. When I was a kid witnessing arguments about gay marriage, statistics about LGBTQ people were so often presented in such a way as to reassure everyone else that we are not dangerous because we are rare. "It's not going to cause societal collapse ... because such a small percentage of people are gay."

And conservative rhetoric against queer people, particularly trans people, which explicitly refers to us as a "social contagion," really underscores that any perceived "increase" in sexual or gender diversity will be seen as a threat. If queer people are permitted to exist, we must be aberrant and isolated. If we are normal and natural and commonly occurring, it is because something has gone terribly wrong.

So. Forgive me if I bristle at the well-meaning argument that "these trans athlete bans are ridiculous, they're only going to affect a few dozen people!" I understand where they're coming from. But I think trans people should be free and abundant.

At this point in think that D&D has more ardent support than lutheranism. And it's adherents are somehow even more annoying.

It really isn’t the worst English I’ve seen. And it kinda sounds like you might have anxiety or that you are just neurodivergent also check out this song I think you’ll like

Weird? Fear?

I have this I think weird fear.

I fear situations that might change or help me and I must have control over this situations because I'm not afraid when I don't have control. So basically I can't help myself and continuation to this fear is that I can't write or say my problems to people I know or even write some thoughts for myself in my native language on paper or even in notepad my body just stops me from that. So now you are probably wondering how I'm writing this? how the fuck should I know but maybe on social media my mind thinks that I'm not popular enough to be seen or something I don't know maybe so yeah I need psychological help. I don't know why I'm using tumblr as some place to write my thoughts but it works and with that I can get around my fears with that so it wil help me? probably? but I'm not psychologist.

I'm fucked up :)

I will paste their music here because I can

and Stelle I know you probably will see this I know my english is not too good

As others said they is not the plague star. The game events take a good bit of time after the collapse of the orokin empire, so either Kay is wrong and you’re right or Kaya is correct and Flare, now temple, returns to the origin system during the tenno insurrection (when the tenno slaughtered the orokin)

Made a mistake and used the wrong pronouns :/

a digital comic, very simply and messily drawn. two people are sitting on a train; the person in front is wearing a white sweater with a pattern of red lines. upon closer inspection, the red lines are actually the silhouette of saddam hussein from that one meme of his hiding spot. the person sitting in back has an expression between shock and hilarity.

guy i saw on train today

Also said science georg comes from the body hopping upper caste of a empire that fucked up the origin system and is the cause of nearly every problem in the game

Warframe is wild for not only outright confirming that the primary, most personal antagonist for the player, the closest thing we know in this universe to an actual literal god, can be defeated by the actual literal power of love

but also that the example they use to confirm this is the toxic old man yaoi workplace situationship between unethical science georg who prepared for his time travel to 1999 by dressing up as a pokemon trainer and his pathetic failtwink Ygor
