Reading a movie's synopsis that says: "The life of a disciplined high school athlete begins to unravel when his queer identity competes against the idea of who he was supposed to be."

Oh okay. "Queer identity?" So... what's the movie about? Is he gay? Is he bi? Does he want to be a girl? Or is it about one of the thousands things that people call "queer" nowadays? Like wearing certain clothes or identifying as an animal? The movie turns out to be about a gay boy.

Another movie is described as: "a welcome addition to the canon of queer period drama." What do you mean? Lesbian period drama? Asexual period drama? Non-binary period drama? Wolf-kin it/they demiboy period drama? The movie is about how gay men were forcefully kept in mental hospitals and castrated in the 1910s.

What about that "queer novel" I heard about? Every description simply refused to use the word "lesbian" even though that's what it was about. Queer women, queer romance, queer story... Why are you having such trouble saying "gay" "lesbian" or "bi"?

I once told someone I still viewed the term "queer" as a slur and therefore did not agree with the term "queer history". I had been told that using the word "queer" was a personal choice about "reclaiming a slur" for yourself and that it was okay if I refused to use it or to be called that. But then, when they say "queer history" or "queer period drama" or "queer novels" they are forcing the label on us all. I explained that on the internet once, and a very progressive and liberal american woman who was claiming that queer was a benign word decided to laugh at me and call me a queer repeatedly. I rest my case.

I can’t stand people who speak English as a second language, who live in non-English speaking countries, stating that queer isn’t a slur and it has been reclaimed. How would you know? How would you feel if I adopted the slurs of your language and started using them as blanket terms for all of us and not caring who I hurt?

It just feels like people who've never experienced it, dismissing my experiences of homophobia. I have no respect for those people because they have none for me

The american right: “women should be forced to have babies!”

The american left: “I think you mean womb carriers”

If you're going to make such bizarre and unrelated connections, at least stand by it and don't block me like a chicken shit the minute you respond

4% of women experience faecal incontinence after childbirth, many women are unaware of that and only know/are told about urinary incontence. That's the kind of horror I'm talking about.

And women are encouraged not to share their traumatic birth stories in case it scares other women. And not only does it contribute to people being generally unaware of what can go wrong, it leaves traumatised women feeling silenced and ashamed.

It's not demonising childbirth to want women to receive the full picture going into it

Thinking about how people say we shouldn't tell women the horrors of childbirth because it'll scare them and discourage them from having children and well, isn't that just arguing against informed consent?

Literally why do dating apps your sexuality if they won’t take it into account

> Install dating app > Make it clear you're a lesbian > First message you get it from a man > Delete dating app

childhood boredom nurtures creativity in people. every kind of creativity. boredom is neurologically healthy because it creates an absence that the brain has to expand to fill. it exercises the mind. someone who had an ipad shoved at them every time they were bored as a child, when their brain was extremely plastic, will literally never reach the creative potential they otherwise could have. they have been wired instead to seek instant gratification always, deep focus never. stopping boredom in its tracks permanently severs brain connections that would have otherwise developed. entire generational talents have already been muted or wiped out by this neurotic obsession with preventing boredom
