re: Twitter | Twitch Meta | Bi/Pan Lesbian Discourse
@FamiliarAlien Julayla: This is generally true, yes. It's also worth mentioning that I am a pan lesbian, and I call myself that because I am more attracted to femininity, but also anyone who holds that feminine quality in themselves. I am also dating my headmate Valerie, who is nonbinary and femme.
Valerie: Right at the start I knew the whole discourse about how bi/pan lesbians are somehow evil is rotten. It reeks of gatekeeping, and it invalidates Julayla.
Twitter | Twitch Meta | Bi/Pan Lesbian Discourse
@FreyaManibrandr Hell I've been around the track enough to know TERFs hate any queer label that doesn't conform to a very strict social binary so the fact people have tried to claim bi and pan lesbians are a "terf thing" is like the biggest red flag of a psyop. They may as well claim being genderflux or something is a terf thing it makes as much sense given their overall ideology.
@Gumby You got a hedgehog? owo
@nisima I like latine, it flows, and it makes sense phonetically.
Personally, I always felt latinx to be awkward, since in that context the "x" is either a voiceless velar fricative or a voicless alveolar plosive followed by a voiceless post-alveolar fricative, and ending a phrase with a voiceless consonant, especially fricatives is always gonna feel awkward.
Twitter | Twitch Meta | Bi/Pan Lesbian Discourse
There are some unscrupulous folks on Twitter going around capitalizing on Twitch's "womxn" screwup to throw pan and bi lesbians under the bus.
I don't really need to explain why excluding pan/bi lesbians is bad, but a brief explanation is that the exclusionary rhetoric uses the same ones TERFs use to exclude trans women.
What makes this sinister is that they are going around mislabeling pan and bi lesbians as TERF-adjacent. Likely to cause community infighting.
Don't fall for it.
white supremacy & misogynoir in U.S. suffrage movement
"In 1919, the executive committee of the Georgia Democratic Party adopted a resolution allowing women to vote in the Democratic white primary. Written by Emily MacDougald, the resolution passed 24-1. It allowed for a handful of white Atlanta women to vote in their first local election. Women of color were driven away under threat of physical violence. When black suffragists in the Jim Crow South sought help from their white counterparts, they were told that the disenfranchisement of African American women was an issue of race, not of gender, and therefore beyond the movement’s purview." https://www.atlantahistorycenter.com/blog/suffrage-in-the-south-100-years-later
If your feminism is not intersectional it will be bullshit. #history #WomensHistoryMonth
@Gumby hugs
Pretty interesting how our birthdays are like very close
Fedi polls PSA (movie spoilers inside)
Did you know that some mastodon clients DO NOT hide the polls behind a content warning?
So if you write NSFW or uncomfortable/disturbing content in the poll, do this:
1) Post the text for each option in the actual post and use letters like A, B, C, etc.
2) Just name the options so nothing actually gets shown.
Example:
Did you know this?
A) No, I didn't. Vader is Luke's father!
B) Yes, I did, and Di Caprio dies in Titanic
