Wicked paper cuts

@ma9lx "An unsullied book is a smear against the author. A pristine book is a book defiled". Единственное, что оскорбительно для книги -- это остаться непрочитанной :)

@melava92 @God_Questioner (Of course, protection is the absolute minimum. Ideally we should try to improve that "wider society" so it stops being bigoted and accept people no matter what their identity or desires are).

[Hermit @Paperhermit]

@melava92 @God_Questioner Well, if the "wider society" deems these desires "not acceptable", isn't it the definition of oppression? Of course those who have these desires will form their own communities to protect themselves from the "families and communities" who want to harm them.

[Hermit @Paperhermit]

@melava92 @God_Questioner "What is a woman" is a rightwinger meme. The question has been answer excessively. At this point anyone who keep asking it is not doing so in good faith.
In any case, queer theory didn't create queer people any more than chemistry created acids. It studies what already exists.

[Hermit @Paperhermit]

@melava92 @God_Questioner Yes. Gender is determined by self-identification, and nothing else.

[Hermit @Paperhermit]

@mtmelendres @God_Questioner Nature is humanity's greatest enemy and our oldest oppressor. Something being "natural" is the best argument for changing it. Humanity doesn't bow to nature, we conquer and overcome it to serve us.

[Hermit @Paperhermit]

@melava92 @God_Questioner "Who", not "what".
Whoever identifies as such.

[Hermit @Paperhermit]

@woman0fwise Does this logic only apply to genders, or would you say the same about nations or religions?

[Hermit @Paperhermit]

@Rake_HoH @HQmindd Well, you do believe homosexuality is wrong, don't you? Or why did you give me all these quotes?

@vibe_crc А в хронике же ещё фигурируют Феррекс и Поррекс :)))

[Hermit @Paperhermit]

Чтение на лето :)

@Sota_Vision Россия для грустных!

[Hermit @Paperhermit]

@novellageek Идеальный Пидлвик! :)

@Paperhermit (простите) Легендарный поэт Боккаччо и его внук, талантливый писатель Жоккаччо.

[Hermit @Paperhermit]

@senshi_real No point to read them all. Self-help books all share the same handful of platitudes, and the rest is chaff. Just read a couple, and you know everything there is to know about the genre.

@retropcan Очень крутая книжка -- жаль, что сама Роберта отказывается писать. Он освещает в основном деловую сторону, а было бы очень здорово почитать про творческую.

[Hermit @Paperhermit]

@StanburyDave @daniellismore Wrong again. I'm not is/oughting, I'm just oughting. I believe in progress and the improvement of human life it brings, and I call human happines and freedom unequivocally good. It's a pure value statement.

[Hermit @Paperhermit]

@Rake_HoH @HQmindd Nah, I'm just clowning on you bigots.

[Hermit @Paperhermit]

@StanburyDave @daniellismore We can't know that until we try :)

[Hermit @Paperhermit]

@StanburyDave @daniellismore I believe our system needs to go all the way and beyond to help us, the people, be what we want to be, and free ourselves from the shackles of our frail meaty bodies. Transgender people are just the beginning: we're going full transhuman soon!
