if a cis woman can be kicked out of a women's bathroom for not looking feminine enough, rude and wrong as that is...

Here's the thing: it was never about "protecting women" or something. It was always about controlling how a woman is supposed to look, act, etc like. Women who are not "feminine enough" are not supposed to exist.

Fathers of daughters might be upset, but they could go in with them.

Most of them, especially fathers with younger daughters who still need some help with the toilet, will probably be relieved. Because nowadays it feels very weird being a father who wants to help his daughter with toilet things starting at choosing the appropriate restroom, being stared down or being scared of reactions.

My urge to spray paint some gender diversity symbols over all the Cursed Child advertisements I see around here grows daily.

But god is already dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him.

Though 'we' seems to be germans as the quote is by german philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche and even before Nietzsche, the earliest accounts of 'death of god' discussions seem to originate in german lutheran culture of the 17th century.

So since god is dead and transgender rights are some modern stuff, trans rights cannot have caused the death of god.

Every day, the US strays further towards the Third Reich. This is painful to watch and a stark reminder to keep fighting at home (I'm not from the US).

I'm not american, but from my experience with american media (including queer content creators on YT etc) I'd say it depends on context and pronunciation.

In the context you provided, spoken angrily, I'd guess it's an insult and I have heard it like that, but it is also used in a celebratory, uplifting, empowering way.

In a joint statement, the store's trustees said: "The bookshop is an inclusive organisation that wants to share the Christian faith with everyone and we do not want to advocate or condemn anyone on the basis of their belief or sexual orientation.

"As a Christian bookshop we would have been delighted to have flown the Derbyshire flag, the flag of St George or the union flag.

"Unfortunately, due to lack of initial consultation on the matter, we had to decline to fly the flag allocated to our shop, as a matter of conscience and in keeping with our faith and scriptures."

So you they would've been fine with any other flag, just not a Pride flag. Yea, sounds pretty inclusive to me (/s, obviously). Fucking bigots. I wish I could be there with some crayons and stuff.

Judged by the other voices in the article, seems to be a nice town though.

Idk, ask Stamets.

No, I just crossposted. The meme itself is not made by me.

Heteronormative, yes. Cis less so, I'd say.

Anyway, considering the time it first aired, it's almost revolutionary.

But that's a running theme with the old Trek shows. I'm currently on a rewatch and a lot of episodes are still very relevant today. Yet sometimes there are moments where I think ”Yeah, it's fine, could have gone a step further though“ but then remember that stuff's partially as old or even older than I am, and put into context of it's time, it's pretty neat again.

  • Jadzia, 24th century: Wife with husband

I just misremembered. Thought she died right before their wedding.

I looked it up on memory alpha, but unfortunately could only find two Daxs (? Daxes? Dax'?) of whom we know their respective spouses, Audrid (female host, had a husband) and Torias (male host, had a wife).

 

That paragraph comes from the 1997 book The Bacta War, the fourth book in the series Star Wars: X-Wing

I find it "funny" when fans of sci fi and fantasy rant about how "back in the day, authors just told stories without any woke agenda" -yada yada yada- meaning such themes weren't discussed, but when you actually look back, sci fi and fantasy always was full of "woke" themes (mostly because that was the best (and often only) places where such things could be discussed and explored).

Idk, just wanted to share this and thought it might be interesting to someone here.

COPENHAGEN (AP) — The Danish foreign ministry has changed its U.S. travel advisory for transgender people, following other European countries such as Germany and Finland who suggest they may face difficulties when trying to enter the United States.

 

A queer icon has passed :(

 

Moving to Lemmy from reddit proves to be challenging when it comes to rebuilding my home feed, especially since the 'local' feed only shows communities on the instance and account is registered on.

So are there good queer meme pages here on Lemmy, like me_irlgbt?
