I anon'd my comment in favour of it + abolishing gender on travel docs because I am speaking on behalf of my child who is a minor who has been wanting the documents done since the age of 7; getting harassed at the US border for a liberal city flight about looking like the "wrong" gender. Seven years old and getting harassment about what genitals they have. X marker is a short term solution that should result in the removal of gender from all documents.

wait, so, is it bad to say that Anne Frank was bi/wlw in general? or is it only bad to say that when shes the only bi jewish person you acknowledge? (afaik its confirmed from her journals, right?)

In her journals she speculates about wanting a girlfriend and other similar topics. Which is a good thing to acknowledge! I don’t care if ppl want to say there’s a possibility she was a wlw. However, don’t do that without also acknowledging that she was a child when she was murdered. She was not given an opportunity to explore or define herself because she was killed as a literal child. Before that she was forced to live for years under extreme confinement trying to stay alive which stole even more childhood experiences and self expression from her. So to label her, especially if you’re goyische, imo is in incredibly bad taste.

The way I’ve seen goyische lgbt ppl tout her as if she were a proudly bisexual jewish woman pisses me off because A.) that’s not true and by pretending she ever had an opportunity to be that you’re erasing the reality of her life and part of the tragedy of her young death. B.) Most ppl who do this do so without any concept or acknowledgment of the many out lgbt Jewish people who’s lives and often their works were destroyed in the Holocaust. If you actually want to talk about how the Holocaust effected Lgbt Jews that’s great. Actually do that. If you want to say that there’s a likelihood that Anne Frank was a wlw and it’s a tragedy that she was lost before she was able to fully explore and define that possibility in her life that’s also great. Just don’t slap a label on someone who died as a child when that completely erases part of what’s tragic about their death which is the loss of potential in who they could have grown to define themselves as.

… why would you put a door button at the top of step… which makes it impossible for someone who needs that door button to actually get in the door or even reach the door button. Just why?
