I find it quite saddening that there is this notion that minors and adults can't coexist. If someone is friends with a minor, that is viewed as suspicious. The person hasn't done anything wrong, but they are perceived negatively. It's worse for queer people, especially when it comes to being transgender.

For example, bottom/top surgery is viewed as "sexual" and "inappropriate for minors" by some. But none of this is inherently sexual. Of course, I am a sexual being, but that doesn't make my entire existence inherently sexual. I don't want to be seen as a freak or a sex pest simply for interacting with minors in queer spaces. Heck, parts of disability are also sexual.

I think there is a very fine line between exploitation and a simple conversation about what has or hasn't worked for you. By no means am I saying adults should be forced to share their life experiences with minors, but I also don't think we should have to live in fear of what mainstream society thinks of us.

We should also be making this a conversation about how we can help protect trans youth. They need just as much support as adults, if not more!

The hobby of miserable people

Transphobia is versatile: it can be a social lubricant for the boys, a wedge issue for strategists, filler for opinion writers, and an engagement booster for has-beens. What it's not is a deeply held belief; it's merely a vehicle for emotionally stunted individuals to satisfy their needs. Akin to

Making "ur mum" jokes in response to homophobic comments never gets old.

A story about Stonewall in Sydney closing down:

The Canadian Antihate Network (CAHN) and the CBC have identified over 190 Canadians who were on the now-defunct white supremacist dating site WhiteDate.net. Among them are a number of members of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF), including Royal Canadian Air Force Major Tristan Armstrong, who apparently left a trail of thousands of posts in far-right forums between 2019-2024. The CAF is now investigating him.

Armstrong's online posts championed Nazi Germany and Oswald Mosley's British Union of Fascists, really off-the-charts views about Black people, women, and LGBTQ folks.

Another is Ottawa-based naval reservist Brogan Hale ("blueeyedsailor" on WhiteDate.net), who has expressed eliminationist ideas in order to "keep Canada white".

And a third is Brandon Longpré, a self-identified corporal in the Governor General's Foot Guards in Ottawa. Longpré isn't quoted in either of these articles, but having observed WhiteDate closely while it was still up and running, I can tell you that it's pretty inconceivable that anyone could have had an account on there without knowing that it was a forum for people on the white nationalist/neo-nazi spectrum.

The CBC article also identifies the WhiteDate accounts of two already well known Canadian nazis: Shawn Beauvais-MacDonald of the Frontenac Active Club/Second Sons Canada and Exiles of the Golden Age organizer Lane Pommer.

If anyone would like to see the exported WhiteDate files, they're at okstupid.lol.

reporting from a #houston suburb, this is the kinda #propaganda you get in the mail if you register as republican

note: i am not #republican /#maga / #conservative but my father is (and so was my mother). and he votes that way because he's racist. seriously, its mostly #racism with some #sexism and #queerphobia mixed in

other notes:

1. #islamophobia and #palestine is part of the issue as well
2. #transphobia not pictured but absolutely a part of it too
3. i know that being his daughter, i may be judged in a similar way because of my proximity to him, which i understand and have to work to subvert expectations
4. continuing from my last point, please dont assume that all people from the #american #south are bigots; its definitely an issue but there are good people here too
5. i will never stop resisting in any way i can, even if i am not as vocal or visible as others ✊️

i love how webfishing's development was cancelled because 4channers got so mad at webfishing's dev making a joke targeting straight people that they doxxed them

actually wait, no! i hate that.

#games #gaming #queerphobia

remember when dipshit internet queers spent a year fearmongering about straight people infiltrating the queer community identifying as "semibisexuals"

and it turned out that it was a microlabel for bisexuals who had a strong preference for one gender?

all this stupid fucking discourse is like that. if you're bitching about random queer people you've never even interacted with on the internet, you're not just being an asshole, you're also making a fool of yourself
