Finding a colorblind friendly redesign of the rainbow flag has me happy to see a pride flag for once

This is it btw :) from here

Hell yeah! Like, @featherwurm and I both have really fuckin’ good colour vision, and this looks so much better than the regular version! You could make it greyscale, and it would still have six distinct bands - I’m sure there is at least one actual term for this, but I don’t know what it is.

[ID: A pride flag with six horizontal stripes. Each of them is desaturated and appears clearly distinct. They are, top to bottom: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple. End ID]

If you’re a disabled young person, you’ve most likely been hit with the “pfft you think you’re in pain now? Just wait til you’re my age” bullshit from older people at least once. Everyone talks about how invalidating it is

But I haven’t seen anybody mention how it’s terrifying, too. Yes, I know health deteriorates with age. I know that old age is a disability unto itself. I know that the healthiest person alive will start getting aches and pains past the age of 40 and may even need mobility aids

I know all this stuff. And it always makes me think “yeah, if I can’t walk without joint pain even while using mobility aids AT AGE 21, how painful will life be for me at the age where it gets painful for everyone?”

And it’s hard not to feel like I’m doomed, y'know? Where most people get a period of health that they wish they appreciated more when they start to lose it, my starting point was a body that doesn’t work properly and it’s only gonna get worse from there. It’s worse every fucking year.

TLDR stop telling disabled young people that their pain will only get worse to the point of being unimaginable as they age, WE FUCKING KNOW

I was a 21-year-old using a mobility aid and in horrible amounts of pain. I’d just been diagnosed with a degenerative genetic disorder, and the number of people who told me things like the above…. Hoo boy. There was a good stretch of time where this was a major contributing factor in the persistent suicidal ideation that plagued my early and mid-twenties. OP is absolutely right that no one should ever fucking say this shit to young disabled people. It fucks you up real bad, and chronic pain and chronic illness already do a great job of that on base.

But ALSO: It’s not necessarily true that your pain will only increase as you age.

I’m 32 now, and I am actually in significantly less pain day to day than I was at age 21. My condition hasn’t really gotten any better, nor have the treatments for it really improved. But as I’ve gotten older, my ability to manage my condition has improved by leaps and bounds.

I’m kinder and gentler with myself. I’ve learned what it feels like when my body is about to pull a Shenanigan™️ and how best to take preemptive action. I know what pain meds I need to take and when. I have learned what the indications are for “I need to rest now” and how to enforce my boundaries when someone tries to push me beyond my body’s limits. I know what mobility aids work best for me under what circumstances and the most effective ways to use them. I now know the ways in which I can safely move my body. I’ve had the chance to stock just about any kind of brace I might need, and I’ve learned how best to recover if I overdo it or have a flare. Over the years, I’ve accumulated a huge repertoire of tools and resources that vastly improve my quality of life.

When I was 21, I dreaded getting older because I thought it could only mean more pain. I was wrong about that, and so was everyone who condescended to “joke” about it. Getting older also means gaining more wisdom, experience, and knowledge to help make the pain and illness more manageable.

That trade-off? It’s worth it.

It’s actually fine for trans people to say “when I was a boy” or “when I was a girl” in reference to experiences they had while they still identified as their assigned birth gender, this does not invalidate their current gender or the concept of being transgender at all, nor does it invalidate your current gender

Remember to make space for the heteros this month too - yes, really.

Lesbians who became straight men

Gay men who became straight women

All straight drag artists (note that not all of them are cis!)

People with complex identities who thusly encompass multiple orientations (like genderfluid and multigender people who, yes, are sometimes straight, or even simultaneously with other labels)

Hetero aro and ace people. Especially. Seriously.

People with fluid orientations

Gnc people who find joy in their straightness

Many queer people are also straight. Queerness is note solely reliant on gayness. These people too, are a part of pride. Remember that.

[All discourse attempts will be swiftly blocked. Exclusionists fuck off]

finally good to see some like regular discourse that isn’t extremist. i mean this IS the hellsite but i digress. the queer identity should be inclusionary and its wild that exclusionists in a community like Pride exist

Not to start Disk Horse but my two cents on the whole “misandry is real” thing is that most forms of inequality that men face are still the result of a society that views them as superior. Which is misogyny.

Men are sent to war because they’re seen as bigger and stronger and better.

Men’s emotions aren’t treated seriously because they have the expectation of being in perfect power and perfect control.

Men succeed in suicide more often because they choose more lethal methods, but women attempt suicide more often in less lethal ways- because in their final moments, they still think about being the demure caretakers of other people in their lives.

All of these situations are still the resulted of giving men societal power over women, and forcing them to be in that role of “protector”. They’re still all results of ways to control women.

Whether or not you agree “misandry is real” is always going to come down to what exactly you’re defining as misandry. Are there women who hate all men? Yeah, they’re out there. Are there enough of them to define the driving direction of society, and the prime societal influences that are internalized by people as a whole? Of fucking course not.

Also if a woman says “men are trash” instead of “pardon me good sir, but I do believe society has normalized behaviors amongst men that make me cautious around them, to the point where I must carefully analyze situations in which I trust men moreso than I typically have to do with women” and call her a bad person if she says the first thing then maybe analyze the increased standards of “clean” morality you’re holding women to

Any further commentary I give on this will be time wasting to this and unproductive. Please think critically about how this applies to transphobia, however.

what is THE worst thing you’ve ever drank. all liquids acceptable. please tell me what it was, bonus points for why

Hey whoa hi. Hello. I am looking directly into your ear canal. What do you mean you drank a tube of virus concentrate.

So, I was working in a lab, right? My job in the lab was preparing a pure, concentrated enough sample of virus. This is tricky since, y'know, viruses require hosts to replicate, but you then need to get the host cells (and the pieces of the host cells that died!) out of the sample while still keeping the viruses. Once I’d finished and the samples had been sent to the database for analysis as well as a second one sent to be frozen for future reference, there was still some left over that needed to be disposed of.

I, knowing that this was a once in a lifetime opportunity, waited carefully for the lab director to be deep in conversation with someone else on the other side of the laboratory. And then I took my chance.

Test tubes, as it turns out, are really bad as shot glasses. Their shape turns any liquid inside into a stream, so you really can’t knock it back quickly - it takes a couple seconds. Additionally, the best way I can describe the taste of virus concentrate was “sterile rot”. A very unique kind of bad! Made worse by the test tube’s inefficiency as a shot glass.

(by the way we were studying bacteriophages, not animal viruses. these viruses are too specialized on attacking prokaryotes to even recognize our cells as targets at all, according to studies.)

(but also like. if the viruses managed to successfully switch hosts and killed me with a violent infection, itd still be worth it.)

(for science.)

My fake woke job hates me for using gendered pronouns on binary trans passengers who are clearly nervous about going through security and would have their days made by an officer using the pronouns that correlate with how theyre presenting themselves

My fake woke job is demanding I use they/them for everyone in the name of inclusion when that’s often more insulting to someone clearly trying to present in a binary gendered way. Also we are in fuckass dark blue conservative alberta where beyond actual trans people i could and would get the shit beaten out of me for they/theming the wrong guy

My fake woke job is mad at me for changing their approved script of how we are supposed to explain to men why their chests are considered “sensitive alarms” because i keep saying “the chest is a very intensive search so we’re going to try to avoid doing it” instead of “because our body scanner is gender-neutral we have to treat everyone’s body as if that area is sensitive to pat down” in fuckass dark blue conservative alberta where i could and would get the shit beaten out of me if I said that to the wrong guy

My fake woke job is not seeing the irony in demanding a trans officer do these things in the name of trans inclusion

this little freak keeps sneaking into my garden and rubbing himself all over my flowers??Hello?????

Real, male bees don’t go after flowers they stay home, that freak is a herself

googling ‘bee genders’ as I dictate this post

The more you google bee reproductive biology the more absurd it is that we’re applying the words male and female to them. Their actual genders are worker, drone and queen. The queen is capable of both asexual and sexual reproduction. Bees born of unfertilized eggs become drones that are capable of fertilizing eggs. Bees born of fertilized eggs become workers, but can also potentially become a queen depending on how they are fed during the larval stage.

Use whatever the fuck pronouns you want to describe bees because they’re all equally incorrect projections of human worldview onto an insect species. Bees don’t experience mammalian sexual dimorphism in a biological sense nor do they experience human gender dimorphism in a sociopolitical sense.

diversity win, the freak sneaking into your garden and rubbing themselves all over your flowers does not fit into a human biological or sociopolitical framework of sex and gender!
