Gender Studies I

For your information too:

Prior to 1969, America treated her LGBT citizens as not even human. We were blacklisted under McCarthyism, arrested for affection in public, and had cruel psychiatric experiments conducted on us. Parents found to be LGBT had their children stripped from them because the parent was deemed mentally unfit.

There were protests, speeches, and attempts to educate. But no one really listened because cishet feelings took precedence over our rights.

But at Stonewall, June 28, 1969, when police raided the nightclub and attempted to arrest us under false pretenses, we fought back and we fought back HARD, chasing the cops from the area. You think Pride events were always parades and flags and ****? The first Pride was a riot.

And even here in 2022, as LGBT rights are being dismantled or progress is being stalled because of cishet feelings, guess what? It might be too late for my 40 year old arthritic ***, but the kids are coming. And to say they're angry is a big understatement.

Considering it's the women's team, I'm going to guess they're all female.

I know - just poking a little fun. As a white heterosexual male, that’s the one group I’m entitled to make fun of!

The new, clean blood pushes out the old, fouled blood. In our dotage we too will be outed and denounced as bigots for things we can't even imagine, and the cycle will go on. We believe so strongly in the garbage our parents or pastor put in our heads that we literally cannot see around it.

But God's got a plan for that, too: built-in lifespan.

The kids have it figured out.

Bigots don't change. But they die off.

Those kids are awesome and that teacher should be fired, charged with harassment and child abuse, and denied their pension. **** every Republican.

Now I see that 16 team members of Thomas have written a letter asking that the school not challenge those stricter standards because of her "unfair advantage."

Methinks the UPenn swimming team may be headed for some team unity issues.

Huh? Those people who signed-off were all biological women. Where's the bigotry there?

It's truly ridiculous to pit men against women in almost any sporting event, and that is completely obvious.

I won’t quote, but on the off chance you don’t doesn’t realize it, Fishy, what you just posted is hate speech. That’s literally in the same category as using the N word.

Knock it off.

No it wasn’t hate speech and no it wasn’t in the same category, you clown.

I don't hate anyone.

But pitting women against men in *most* sports just disadvantages the women. That is as clear as day.

Let the Penn swimmer- ranked at something like #164 in the mens' Ivy League, as opposed to #1 on the female side- compete as a woman against men.

That makes a lot more sense, but we never have seen such a thing.

Best explanation I could find.

As a trans person, I resent being called a depraved freak just because I'm trans.

I work hard at being a depraved freak, thank you very much!

[MissThundercat]

Not exactly sure why my coworker tonight would go on a bizarre rant about pronouns in email signatures.

Wait. Never mind. She's telling me exactly who she is.

Arizona has 12 anti-trans bills running through their state legislature. And this guy joined the opposition to block a bill banning affirming care for trans youth. He is a Republican, so I'll award a cookie in this case.

Kuwait’s constitutional court overturned a law that authorities had used to prosecute transgender people, saying the statute violated Kuwaitis’ right to personal freedom. Activists hailed the ruling as a landmark for transgender rights in the Middle East.

Nice job Kuwait. :-?

[MissThundercat]

But do go on how we have to protect cis feelings.
