The elephant in the room of gender ideology is autogynephilia, when a man is sexually aroused by the idea of himself as a woman. A fetish.
And it’s like, what is more likely: a bunch of middle aged men realized they’re born in the wrong body or they’re getting off to it all?
I don’t think this should be in front of kids. I don’t think this should be normalised. I don’t think this should be celebrated.
Bring back kink shaming and do what you want in the privacy of your own kennel.
@g_t_rost@justgay_ger Muss alles ins GG, gegen das man nicht diskriminieren sollte? Dann müsste das Alter auch rein. Es gibt ein Gesetz, dass diese Diskriminierungen verhindern soll und das ist das AGG. Nur weil es nicht im GG steht, heißt noch lange nicht, dass Diskriminierung erlaubt ist.
@francisjfoster This is a great book! But it gave me vivid flash backs to when I was teaching. And I didn't leave in time for me to be healthy. One month before I went on sick leave, I said to someone close to me: I don't have time to go to the doctor and be sick.
@Glinner I still find it incomprehensible that it's not a requirement. I'm from Germany. We have voter ID. Since you always have to have ID on you, you just show it before getting your ballot. Done. And when you mail in your vote, you have to fill out an application with it. No big deal.

Immer mehr homosexuelle Frauen und Männer haben keinen Bock mehr auf den CSD. Sie wollen sich nicht von der Queer-Ideologie vereinnahmen lassen. Und: Sie wollen auch über Hass und Hetze von Islamisten reden dürfen. https://t.co/CvJ4IwCiUW
Ich verstehe immer noch nicht, warum man das mit dem Grundgesetz fordern muss. Es gibt doch schließlich das AGG https://t.co/CjTkqaahEK

Fabulists are always psychologically vulnerable or they wouldn't be fabulists. I've known a couple personally (both white women, one of them very young) and both, beneath a veneer of apparent narcissism, were damaged people who clearly felt they weren't and never would be good enough if the fabrications were stripped away.
Journalist Johann Hari survived plagiarism charges. Belle Gibson, of the fake brain tumour, the best-selling cookbook and the deal with Apple, is still alive and well. On the other hand, Brenda Leyland (another fabulist) killed herself rather than deal with the aftermath of exposure as an obsessive online persecutor of the McCann family.
If it's true Arday's stories about himself weren't challenged because Cambridge was excited to appoint a charismatic young black man, it's equally true that his blackness meant he became a lightning rod for discourse around DEI, and I don't doubt the weight of shame, and mockery and condemnation, even if a lot of it fell on Cambridge rather than Arday personally, seemed unsurvivable to him. He and Leyland both became unwilling, living symbols of something bigger than themselves: DEI taken to a ludicrous extreme and vicious online trolling.
I have some personal experience of becoming a dehumanised online punchbag. It takes a lot of psychological strength not to go under and when I heard that Arday was dead I felt utterly miserable.
I don't disagree that he'd never have found himself exposed in such a public way if he'd been challenged, kindly and privately, before he was given a highly-publicised professorship at what is supposed to be one of the world's best universities. However, saying that his promoters 'don't give a toss about him' seems extreme.
