Not new, I've just had bad luck with main instance picking.
Boosts are seldom a reflection of what I think of the person posting (because I don't check unless I see red flags), but usually a reflection of what I think of the post itself.
I block random people who tag me out of nowhere (but replies are usually fine).

Being trans and immunocompromised is so fun bc after years of HRT I finally got a masculine face but no one ever fucking sees it because no one else stays home when they're sick so I can't safely exist anywhere without a mask! Probably for the rest of my damn life, even if COVID stops existing tomorrow!

How do we care for the people we need to defend ourselves from?

raphaelmorgan,
@raphaelmorgan@disabled.social avatar

@amy @kayleeserenada especially if the majority of this interaction is with people who will be the least harmed by them. E.g. if someone is a huge misogynist, it should be cis (probably het) men to try to neutralize them before giving them access to a community as a whole. Abled allies can educate others on disability to help disabled ppl avoid the hassle. Allyship and solidarity is really important for stuff like this

https://deadline.com/2024/04/google-shutting-down-some-california-access-to-news-sites-1235884051/ let's make it so corporations have to either pay money or simply not let people see the news. Surely nothing could go wrong, and this is a progressive measure to save journalism rather than censorship

I personally think that transexual is quite the opposite of an "icky word". It's actually quite powerful.

A lot of people think sex is not socially constructed, and immutable, and rather construe "gender" to be this other metaphysical construct we're allowed to "change" because it is "socially constructed" on top of that.

But I say fuck that noise. Sex is just as bullshit and interchangable as gender. Do whatever you want with it.

@raphaelmorgan@disabled.social avatar

@salad_bar_breath imo sex is both, but people seem to confuse "sex is a socially constructed false dichotomy to categorize groups of biological characteristics" with "sex is one of two biologically defined categories" and like... That's not rlly how biology works

@Cyrus @Lokjo @fatsam perhaps they just meant whether someone is trans or cis?

raphaelmorgan,
@raphaelmorgan@disabled.social avatar

@mrcompletely @fatsam huh. Reading this thread, I see that cis people can have interesting takes on gender that are worth listening to! It's just that the subset who haven't really thought about it are the ones who talk the loudest 😅

LB I'm not the type of person to think everything can be solved with voting and by politicians, but we should definitely take the W on stuff like this. And remember, if you have the energy to be writing emails etc to politicians and especially if you're in their specific constituency, this is a good time for it. I hope he gets a lot of kind words from queer Nebraskans right now, and even that the bill co-signers who abstained get some reassurance that they did the right thing.

@CStamp @markwyner I regularly see things that aren't my aesthetic preference when I'm out and about. And instead of arguing that all bodies should be policed so that everything always looks perfect to me, I simply look away. I don't like looking at shirtless men, so I look at the trees or the ground or a dog someone's walking. Idk, that seems like a choice to me

I'm gonna make a prediction about Threads: they're going to put pressure on the big servers (that are federating with them) to ban sex work and porn "for community safety." And the people who run them will uncritically just accept that's true.

And they'll do it, ineffectually, but they will.

raphaelmorgan,
@raphaelmorgan@disabled.social avatar

@AimeeMaroux @amy I'd agree except some admins (e.g. yours) are notorious for Not listening to what the users want. I do not trust the admins of the biggest servers not to cave to pressure, especially if Meta pulls out certain moves it's totally capable of, like financially backing servers that comply or finding ways to threaten those that don't.

Stop making autocorrects that go "well you only spell it this way or don't capitalize it 45% of the time and 55% of the time it has a capital or you spell it differently so let's fix that" bitch I said what I said!!!

I think most people would object to forcing women to wear skirts. Beating up girls who do unladylike things like dancing or calculus. Many can even see how silly it is to tease a boy for enjoying painting more than sports.

Most* get this.

What I don't understand is how it isn't obvious that transphobia is the exact same impulse.

There is no "reasonable" amount of transphobia you can tolerate without also supporting rigid harmful gender norms in general. 1/

raphaelmorgan,
@raphaelmorgan@disabled.social avatar

@Oggie @futurebird the worst part is that most of them know. When cishet men propose laws to hurt trans people, they love that cis women will be hurt in the process. When cis women propose them, especially queer cis women, some part of them knows but they're willing to go through subjugation as long as they're also getting to be the boot sometimes. This messaging will only work with moderates who haven't made up their mind on what they're willing to accept, so let's hope that's enough.
