@Lady who are u vagueing
"I always support critical thinking about what we create and why. The 'why' behind what we like — as well as why other people might have issues with it — can help us create and consume content more effectively. However, at the end of the day . . . '[d]ark' content in fandom is a safe outlet for people, more so than it is a tool to harm other people in fandom."

words, gender, body
@rabbithearth its fantastic! It makes me really happy every time I think about it
And its so odd that we’ve decided the right call is to implicitly exclude them from the trans experience thru our language, after working so hard to get to this point
words, gender, body
@rabbithearth esp since we’re starting to see trans folk who are fortunate enough to not have to do the whole double puberty thing and just get the hormones they’re comfortable with as teens
Like it was always a bad generalization, but the number of people to whom it does not apply is currently growing rapidly
@irina oh i completely missed that section — the only reference to kids i saw was the study that reported married workers with kids were more likely to get raises than people living alone, because managers assumed that people with kids would have additional expenses
@hafnia@weirder.earth @irina mhm yeah i’d generally assume someone who is grocery shopping/cooking for one isn’t a parent
@irina i did not interpret that article as being about single parents!
@netkitty thanks kitn! *snuggles back*

@alpine_thistle jesus as accounted by humans ~a generation after his death does seem to be pretty chill yeah
@alpine_thistle but also yeah this isn’t my area but like, generally the issue with the kind of texts that got canonized is that they’re always hella edited
Especially the letters, those kinds of public letters between communities are SO sus
