The US is going to war with Iran on behalf of Israel. Russia is at war with Ukraine. Russia is Iran's ally. The US thinks it's Russia's ally. The EU is supposed to be helping Ukraine. Israel is on a conquest mission, backed by the US, to colonize the Middle East. India and Pakistan have their thing going on. The US is threatening to invade Mexico, Canada, and Greenland. And that's just a small slice of the world.
Do you not see how this can easily spiral into an absolute clusterfuck?
If Kamala had won, I (trans latina) would not have had to flee the US. But they're both the exact same amirite? (I'm honestly a little grateful for that. The US is trash. I'm never moving back)
Edit: my point is that people are literally fleeing the US because it's a sinking ship. Under Kamala, immigration and tourism wouldn't have changed much
I One should strive to act with compassion and empathy toward all creatures in accordance with reason.
II The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.
III Oneβs body is inviolable, subject to oneβs own will alone.
IV The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own.
V Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs.
VI People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused.
VII
Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.
I've personally hit the point where I don't care much about graphical improvements, especially as someone with a vision disability. I'd rather have games run smoothly on any old console. Everything is advertising 4k meanwhile I'm still using a 720p tv lol
I've been trans for over a decade and have been VERY active in various queer communities across that time. I don't think I've ever met someone who actually uses neopronouns in that time. I'm not denying they exist but they're certainly rare. The closest was someone who used plural pronouns (we/they), but only when talking in a safe space. Outside that space they use she/her.
What IS fun is using neopronouns in D&D as the DM :) For instance, I often give fey creatures fae/faer pronouns to make them feel otherworldly.
Even the gender/sex distinction isn't a clear one. When you get into the details biological sex is a very complex topic, and most of the ways you can define someone's sex are mutable (contrary to popular belief)
The split is also often used as a dogwhistle by conservatives who want to be transphobic in polite society, but that's another topic altogether.
Having a non-cishet identity is not exclusively a Gen Z thing? π§ We've existed forever??? There are queer people of literally all ages
Back to the original topic, the various identities are similar to music genres. They're useful when discussing queer topics in nuance. If you're cishet and uninterested in being an ally, they're not for you, just let it be.
To put it in perspective, someone who doesn't listen to metal may just consider anything with distorted guitars "metal" and question why subgenres exist, but two metalheads will definitely care greatly about whether a new band is death metal or folk metal, and a metalhead musician might get even more granular in describing a particular style.
I hope when Nazis come for you, you happily step in front of their barrel with a smile on your face. Surely it's the least selfish thing to do so we can move on to other issues, right? Or would you suddenly care when it's your own skin in the game
Trans people want to blend into the woodwork. We don't want to be front and center. The only reason there's so much focus on us right now is because the Nazi right wants to exterminate us, but thanks for throwing us under the bus like a true neoliberal. Guess we'll just die then.
