We were way back at the foot of a ridge and the coyotes and farm dogs were howling and we were out in the clearing laughing and gasping and pointing at the sky. #auroraborealis #northernlights

kind of how like there was a huge pushback against "transgendered", and then I saw a research experiment that showed the reason people keep saying that without thinking is probably related to the "ed" ending in adjectives like "blue-eyed", rather than being used as a verb

its so normal! and yet i find it interesting that people keep falling back on this term, and I even see people call themselves "cisman" and "ciswoman"... why would they do that if theyre trying to exclude someone from the umbrella category? there's some kind of grammatical phenomenon there.

when i see ppl immediately jump on the attack without bothering to correct or explain the problem, i can only think ok youre assuming everyone is a native anglophone with the exact same intuitions about language as you. of course thats not judgemental at all 🙄

with my linguist hat on, i find this an interesting distinction because i HAVE seen it used transphobically in the "not in the same category as 'woman'" way, but there's /also/ precedence in the english language itself for words like "englishwoman", "frenchwoman" etc. it's not a hard mistake at all

How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it?

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

People who criticize transgender people say there are only two genders.
But the soul has so much more individuality🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

No matter how much my activities are restricted, super Chiitan will continue to speak out until we live in a world where everyone can freely express their love and love each other♡
