It must be sad to be so insecure that you feel threatened when people ask you to refer to them by preferred #pronouns . personally, I don't feel the need to ask this. I'm a boring and fairly obviously #cis #heterosexual man but if someone wishes to talk about me as they, them, she, her or even it and its, well okay then.
But if anyone asks me to use particular pronouns to refer to them, I will do so. Geez it's just basic empathy. It means a lot to them. Respect that. Why must that be explained?
Can we just make all the #bathrooms #gender neutral with full height lockable stalls and get on with #protecting #women from the real #threat to them, their #cisgender #heterosexual #male partners at #home.

Ziegler said many leaders in the #SBC & in the broader #antiabortion movement have long opposed #IVF, seeing it as a process that separates conception from the act of #heterosexual sex & is disrespectful of human life. Church leaders have downplayed that view in public, however, since IVF is popular in the #UnitedStates. 70% of Americans in April told Pew Research they think IVF is a “good thing,” including 63% of White #evangelicals, who line up ideologically in general w/ #SouthernBaptists.
As long society accepts genital "surgeries" on #intersex babies so they conform to some bullshit norms, we cannot call ourselves enlightened.
"Two common goals of these cosmetic 'normalizing' surgeries on children’s genitals are to enable #heterosexual penetrative intercourse, and to help the child #conform to #gender and sexual norms"
It's based on #ideology, not #science.
It MUST be condemned like #FGM <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_genital_mutilation>.
Ich weiß, dass in der Prähistorik #Venus als Typ-Bezeichnung genutzt wird, aber nix scheint mir unpassender, als diese Figuren als Venus zu bezeichnen. Man fragt sich, was 19. Jhdt. Profs sich eigentlich so dachten (#Heterosexual / #malegaze ein Fluch). Als ich versucht habe, die #VenusVomHohlefels zu zeichnen, ist mir die Bescheuertheit der Bezeichnung besonders aufgefallen. Was auch immer sich die erschaffende Person gedacht hat, dräuend-schwüle Hetero-Erotik hat sie nicht bewegt.
In this #model, #men are expected to always #act #tough, be #aggressive, take #risks, #Suppress their #emotions, be #stoic, #heterosexual, #homophobic, #transphobic, #misogynistic, and #dominant.
Also not surprisingly roughly 1/3 would also rate themselves as Conservative, while the rest of us might use the terms backwards or cavemen.
Hi there I am a #neurotypical (boring), #heterosexual (boring), #biologicalmale (boring), and a person of color (yay!). I also got one of those.
I use computers to solve biological problems. I demand respect, earning takes hard work.
