sciatrix...in aid of avoiding the manuscript drafts lurking in wait. Or the playout shit. yeah.
I saw a flag with stripes of many shades of blue, and I looked up what it meant. Apparently it was proposed for gay men. Thanks, I hate it.
My old friend Siggy, who is theoretically the target demographic for this flag, about made me piss myself laughing with this one. (Personally, I view the lipstick lesbian flag as a helpful warning that I should either turn around and run briskly in the opposite direction or else gird myself for TERF wars, so I'm pretty sure I would feel the same way if I was over on his side of the fence.)

I've been enjoying Genevive Valentine's posts, as a total fashion neophyte--I have no idea what is going on, but it's at least entertaining, and there are pictures and sensible explanations.
Someone linked this book on estrangement to me somewhere with a lead piece that made it sound really good. I want to read it, but also: reading time is hard.

Date: 2019-03-14 02:31 am (UTC)I mean, if the question honestly were just ‘what words do I put in the pronoun slot when referring to you’, that would prooooobably be okay? I have a set that I am accustomed to answering to, via a lifetime of use! But then people are going to take that bit of data and use it to make assumptions about my gender. Which... is not actually necessarily the same thing! It is frustrating/a conundrum.
And the accustomed set is subtly wrong, but *so are all the other ones* ::hands:: and yeah, the difference between “I’m not going to correct you” and “I want you to call me this” is... a thing.
(Buuuut even though I hate answering the question, I hang out in spaces where it can be *really useful* to have an easy way to catch everyone else’s pronouns, so I kind of appreciate it and have anxiety/flails about it at the same time?)(but also wow there are a lot of other places where I’d rather the subject just never came up without my volunteering it...)
tl;dr: Yep. :fistbump of solidarity:
