Skwirl posted:My favorite is the supposed real story of the mom of a gay son transitioning to avoid bullying. Because kids are so much less likely to make fun of a transgirl than a gay boy. I mean this is actually a thing with academic sources it's just that the academic source is a conversion therapist's research to backup his therapy

Rowling’s chosen nom de plume, Robert Galbraith, is also the name of an anti-LGBTQ+ conversion therapist, who made use of electric shocks to the brain to try and associate "heterosexuality" with "pleasure" galbraith's studies into conversion therapy were only revealed publicly after his death, long after rowling had chosen a similar name there are a lot of reasons to hate rowling for being a bigot, but this is not one of them

RandomFerret posted:That part is at least historically accurate. Men were expected to take wives to make babies regardless. the reverse of that is more of the problem, since Kassandra the hardcore lesbian has to have a baby the problem is that the framing story of the series necessitates these characters having biological children somehow, as the idea is that you're jumping into the memories of your ancestors carried in your DNA. it worked okay when it was all gruff guys of white or acceptably close to white colouring; it got more complicated when women became main characters and becomes even more complicated when sexual preference enters the story.

Ambitious Spider posted:I read a d&d book where everyone was like “gently caress Minotaurs”, and there was a good Minotaur who was like “Minotaurs aren’t evil we’re just magically enslaved by the dark lord” and there’s like a 48 hours kind of thing with the legendary hero and the dark lord is defeated and everyone was still like “gently caress Minotaurs” Basically yes. You can’t have minotaurs move out of “things that are generally acceptable to kill” or it ruins how the game’s set up. Editorial didn’t want to lose Minotaurs as a thing in the Monster Manual. (I’m thinking these are Knaak’s books on the Minotaurs of Taladas in Dragonlance, FYI.)

Instead they’ll take option 3 and some 13 year old from Tennessee will get arrested on a no-knock warrant for election fraud and domestic terrorism. It’ll take years to get sorted out and her life will get ruined, but in the end the judge will inevitably dismiss the charges against the feared Antifa mastermind “HwaeyunStan”.

They don't have corresponding Disney Princes, basically. Elsa doesn't have a love interest at all, Anna's is just a commoner. But I guess that mold gets broken with Moana anyway so yeah maybe they're just too popular.

luxury handset posted:in covid times if they had to ask 4 people and waited 18 minutes, it's very likely there isn't any shredded cheese to be had in the restaurant and the staff is trying to figure out what to do to satisfy this odd request what other kinds of cheese do you use for fajitas like this might just be some canadian thing but if I ordered fajitas at a restaurant I'd expect there to be a bowl of shredded cheese on the table as part of the order, so it doesn't seem very odd to me

Now I'm sad it doesn't happen everywhere We’re not talking like a huge bowl. Like fajitas up here are served assemble yourself style (and that seems to be what’s in the tweet) so you get maybe a cup to split between six or so fajitas? Same as you’d presumably get ordering a taco or burrito you just put it in yourself.

SiKboy posted:The idiocy is the government asking for a public consultation on a practice which has been thoroughly debunked, is actively harmful, is condemned by the royal college of psychiatrists and moreover is something the government already promised to outlaw 2 years ago. Its not a matter for public debate, or at least it shouldn't be and doesnt need to be. And this coming on the heels of a similar petition about the gender recognition act which, when it showed wide support for trans rights, the tory government decided to bin as it had been "obviously inflated by trans rights activists". I'm of mixed feelings about that. In Canada our proposed federal ban is a mess specifically because the government didn't consult with stakeholders (particularly trans people) enough. If the UK government is using it as a justification not to ban/water down a ban, then that's not good; but I'd rather have more consultation than less on this issue.

It's a TERF thing to call trans women taking selfies "porn." I'm guessing that's what happened there, since she dragged her transmisogyny into a thread about one of her children's stories.

TheMostFrench posted:They aren't interested in meeting trans people or knowing more about them because they believe they know all that their is to know. Any meeting would not have been significant enough to develop empathy or understanding. there's a growing amount of fear about trans men, actually, but it shows differently. you don't see sexual predator bullshit, instead you see concern for "women" giving up their ability to give birth before they've really considered it. (The rapid-onset gender dysphoria stuff that TERFs talk about is also for trans men, while autogynephilia is the similar transphobic academia that TERFs use against trans women.) That's the thing, a lot of transphobia is the unwillingness to treat trans people as their real genders, and instead extending concerns about their assigned sex at birth, as if the trans people in question haven't already thought about that and worked through it themselves.
