@Curiouslycinna2@doing_emails@JoyceCarolOates when gay rights are being attacked, the people doing it are not queer or lgbtq+, it’s by conservatives. no amount of “i’m not one of then” is going to placate them.
@Fistocrat@CHRISF0GLE i mean not really. in higher education and traditional publishing, authors are still frequently told to excise nearly all adverbs that are not necessary to the clarity of the prose.
@Robertrobegjv@007_lunar@v3n0msnake@BluebriarArts no it isn’t. most of the time and money spent is in courtrooms and evidentiary panels to ensure the person being sentenced to death is actually guilty of the crimes they’ve been convicted of; because—spoilers—justice systems are fallible and have / will continue to kill innocents
@twicemann@cosmicectoplasm@king_d8_@chernovlosya why would god permit natural evils—such as childhood cancer or newborns dead in a natural disaster—that deny even the opportunity to chose him? even if you believe god must permit the free will of other people, why would a benevolent god permit these sufferings?

Being trans gives you a very dark window from which to look out at humanity, where even something supposedly sacred and inviolable like the love of parents for their children turns out to be deeply contingent and subject to whims
It would take far more than a month to honor the contributions of queer and transgender New Yorkers.
From the Cercle Hermaphroditos in 1895, the first trans advocacy group in the United States, to the drag balls of the Harlem Renaissance, to the Stonewall uprising, to the Lesbian Herstory Archives, to ACT UP!, founded in 1987 as queer people fought for their lives while the Reagan administration looked away, New York City's history has long been shaped by queer and trans New Yorkers.
To all our queer and trans neighbors: you deserve a City where you can afford to live safely, openly, and joyfully.
Happy Pride, New York City.
@headhurtsyay@DCrazyrei@IoverboyIupin you personally don’t have to be attracted to trans women—but calling them men, positively engaging with someone using a trans slur, and parroting right-wing talking points is not supportive of trans people.
