Hello everyone, I’m bren I wear my hearts on my shoulders and says what i thinks!! so love it or leave it that’s down to whoever reads my twits 🤪🇬🇧🏳️🌈🇹🇷
Growing up, I was teased and told I’d go to hell if I was gay. I watched countless straight love stories as a child yet none of them made me straight.
So what makes people think seeing a gay couple in a cartoon will change a straight child?
Nothing.
Happy birthday to Macklemore! :tada:
Throughout his career, the rapper has been a vocal supporter of LGBTQ+ rights, most notably through his hit song ‘Same Love’, which challenged homophobia in hip hop and advocated for marriage equality.
At the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards, Macklemore and collaborator Ryan Lewis won Best Video with a Social Message for ‘Same Love’, their hit track supporting LGBTQ+ rights and challenging homophobia in hip hop. After performing the song, Macklemore told the audience, “Gay rights are human rights. There is no separation.”

@burnyourbinder@Sidewalk_Steve You still haven’t however give a reason to replace it and what would be suitable for those who do really wish to transition ?
@burnyourbinder@Sidewalk_Steve Saying these aren’t equivalent because they’re not“medical treatments” misses the point, procedures are routinely used as medical interventions, chosen for non medical, none life saving reasons all the time. The issue is making an informed choice about there own body carries risk
@burnyourbinder@Sidewalk_Steve From ur perspective, responsible policy would be if we’re being consistent, society already regulates other forms of body modification for young people tattoos, cosmetic surgery, even certain sports because the risks are long‑term and the capacity for informed consent is limited.
@burnyourbinder@Sidewalk_Steve So what do you suggest instead ?.. cos everyone’s thinking of the sex organs and reproducing but trans people still exist and should be recognised to be able to transition. Whether we agree or disagree.
@Sarka457848@Sidewalk_Steve@burnyourbinder That may have been the prior part but the conversation we saw was one between Detransitioned trans person and someone who didn’t believe it should be removed all together from trans people / trans kids and so on.
