ReviewTechUSA response -- free speech doesn't mean your words won't have repurcussions, and having a platform comes with a certain degree of responsibility. The things you say -- and don't say -- have consequences.

Me: Here’s something I disagree with in the status quo.

Him (it’s almost always a him): Let me explain to you how said thing works in the status quo.

Any trans person who would use this sort of oppressive garbage to garner respect or attention is being hateful and harmful to their own people. Don't listen to them and don't give them your clicks, views, and patronage.

Queer rights history contains a lot of attempts of using respectability to try to gain acceptance (see: what the Mattachine society came toward the end of its life in US queer rights history). Not only does it historically not work, it's unethical to turn on our people like that.

Trans family: don't try to sacrifice other trans people at the altar of "respectability" in order to gain validation and safety. We should be protecting the most marginalized members of our communities, those who are most outside the norms and those who are most oppressed.

We have spent our lives being taught that we owe our bodies and expressions to other people. Our transness is a rejection of those falsehoods. Don't let other people trick you into accepting them again in another form.

Any community members that try to tell you that your gender is too messy, or not "passing" enough, or not assimilationist enough, are asking you to sacrifice your identity for the sake of their own comfort. You don't owe them that. You don't owe anyone that.

Hey, trans community members:

How you explore and experience and live your gender is about you. Your identity and expression and body belong to you alone. You don't owe "the community" or anyone else to live your gender in a way that isn't what is best for you.

EU warns Facebook it faces sanctions over 'misleading' T&Cs

Commission gives social media company until end of the year to change its terms of service

The commission acknowledged that Facebook had made some changes but said its terms and conditions remained problematic because Facebook “tells consumers that their data and content is used only to improve their overall ‘experience’ and does not mention that the company uses these data for commercial purposes”.

just told a guy on tumblr that the E in STEM stood for English Literature and he blocked me

i made an infographic about why i don't like contrapoints videos.

Pretty much, it creates dialog for positions i have zero respect for. If Tabby was the chair on the right and we had someone to the left of her then it might be interesting to me.

Right now, it's for an audience that's not me.

Northern Ireland is fertile ground for Anarchism because absolutely no one here has faith in the state anymore and it shows
