#kdeAt30 #egg #Pride

@kde KDE being based as always. Never change.

@kde

Love it! Welcome to the fold Kori, and congrats on the 30 years KDE! 💙

@kde what are you implying with #egg hmmm 😸
@pomagarnet @kde wdym implying. they're already non-binary

@navi
That's why I'm thinking that they probably didn't intend for it to have another meaning. And if they did, they probably didn't really understand the secondary meaning of 'egg' as queer lingo.

@pomagarnet

@navi
FYI, the term egg means a person who hasn't accepted being trans yet. Calling other people eggs usually implies that they are trans (usually almost always binary trans) and in denial of it.

As someone who is non-binary, it doesn't feel good to be called an egg. I have a long painful history of people calling me an egg, insisting that I'm something that I'm not, or insisting that I'm not really sure about what I am.

I'm absolutely 100% confident in my Agender  identity. I don't appreciate when people question my self-identification and plenty of other NonBinary people feel the same way.

Just to be clear, I don't think that they intended to make that implication by using #egg I think that they were just using an applicable tag since it is a drawing of an egg.

@Draconic_NEO @navi @pomagarnet @kde

While I do feel nonbinary fits under the trans umbrella and that is how I identify I feel strongly in support of this. Even suspected "eggs" are people and rather than trying to push a person in a direction its almost always the right move to make a warm and open and accepting environment that is conducive to the person learning about and exploring themselves. You know, warm and gentle the way you.. Treat an egg?

@mxenbionix
Absolutely, people need to be treated in a way that makes them feel safe in order for them to open up and explore gender, or be willing to accept themselves if they have internalized transphobia.

I agree that non-binary definitely fits under the umbrella of trans, I do know that not all non-binary people identify as transgender and they're valid too.

@navi
@pomagarnet
@kde

@mxenbionix
Just a point of clarification, when I say that people are calling me an egg and insisting that I'm trans sometimes it's not always clear how.

They're not usually saying that I'm non-binary and under the trans umbrella. They're saying that I'm a trans girl. Often egging of the aggressive nature that I mentioned doesn't acknowledge NonBinary at all.
When it does get brought up to them, the reactions are mixed, and sometimes negative or dismissive (i.e. "Suuuure you're'NonBinary'" or "!remindme 3 years"). Also I have been told point blank not to tell questioning people about non-binary identities because they'll "want to be non-binary cuz they think it's cool" which... Uh... Yeah... 😒

@navi

@kde

@Draconic_NEO sorry for my tangent on this, but why do you write "non-binary" in PascalCase ("NonBinary")? It's a normal word that deserves to be written like any other adjective I think (as someone that, too, is non-binary)
@navi I don't know why honestly 😅. I guess I just saw others doing it and it became habitual.

@pomagarnet
I mean it is a picture of an egg, most dragons hatch from eggs. Not all do of course but most do.

(Yes I know that egg has another meaning, I'm painfully aware of it.)

@kde

@kde omg enby derg  

@nilsding
Enby dergs are the best     

@kde

@kde oh this is great i love this
@niko @kde Plasma is once again tempting me after all these years
@kde Who are their parents? Konqi and Katie?

@Stem

No no. despite popular belief, Konqi and Katie are just friends.

@kde I didn't think that mascots shipping was so popular in the FLOSS community. 😁
@kde @Stem are they best friends?
@kde Looks beautiful
@kde kde egg crack is canon
@kde Can't wait to see the wackos on the right talk about how "woke" this is ​
@Starcross @kde thats the fun part imo lol
@Starcross @kde oh it didnt take long for some of them to turn up
Problem Account (@[email protected])

@[email protected] it just hatched and you talk about it's sexuality. It's cartoon pedophilia. Why open source devs are like that?

toot.community
@kde @ielenia yeah they were there before I was!! and they literally only have 2 replies and no posts across the whole account
@Starcross @kde see that's part of the fun

taking the piss out of homophobic right-wingers
@markix @kde @Starcross hey how about we don't give visibility to these people. like at all. block, report and shut up. other websites are full of counter-outrage against anti-woke bigots, i don't need fedi to become that. at the very fucking least cw that shit.
@Starcross it is W-W-W-W-W-WOOOOKE!!! the WOKEs are INVADING the kde lore
@matusguy @Starcross Real gamers prefer their free & open source operating system lore asleep!
@Starcross @kde oh you know lunduke is drooling right now
@hazel @kde this is exactly what I was thinking of
@hazel @Starcross @kde I should comment "hell yeah" again & see if he whines about my profile picture again.
@hazel @kde Called it.
@Starcross @kde wait where
The Lunduke Journal (@LundukeJournal) on X

KDE has announced a new “non-binary” mascot for the Linux Desktop Environment. Kori is a “non-binary pet dragon”, uses “they / them” pronouns”, and will be “presiding over KDE’s celebrations throughout 🏳️‍🌈Pride Month🏳️‍⚧️”.

X (formerly Twitter)
@Starcross @hazel @kde oh I’m so glad I can’t read the comments because the dumpster fire named x tw*tter is censoring them
@luna @Starcross @kde reading the comments on that post and seeing the gay panic unfold is delightful

@hazel @Starcross @kde @luna "Fucking pedophiles!!! Sexual fetishes!!"
"Can't wait for this "gender" fad to die off!"
"Marxists have too much influence!!"
"IBM paid them to do this!!!!"

An unending torrent of unhingedness, the Onion could never compete with real statements by Twitter users.

@Starcross @kde I honestly wouldn't care about their gender if it wasn't for this. 😉

@Starcross
I don't think many people on the right use Linux or care about open source. There's a small handful, I remember one guy on YouTube who was. Vast majority though don't care at all.

@kde

@Draconic_NEO Switched to Linux? DistroTube is def conservative too (but more respectable in most cases)
@Starcross
I was thinking of a different one, but I don't remember his name. He had a cat profile picture. I distinctly remember him whining about wokeness.
@Draconic_NEO @Starcross @kde I still use the dead bird platform and the amount of hate they are pouring there is just so baffling, the mental gymnastics olimpic as always
