transcription: open letter to the lgbtq. dear lgbtq, you are the most inclusive community i know. it is an honor to hang with you. i think it is time to step up your game and add one more letter. s as in straight. -slgbtq supporter.
THE STRAIGHTS ARE AT IT AGAIN. putting the s at the front of lgbtq is by far the straightest straight person thing i have ever seen
Ye Im aware of the definition, just don’t understand how and why would you tie your identity to a thing or an animal. Never felt anything close to it so I can’t relate, that’s pretty much the crux of it.
Imagine being transported to a parallel universe where men, maleness, and penises never existed. Imagine trying to explain masculinity in that world.
You might say manhood is about strength and protection. Camaraderie, violence. Action, and support for those close to you. You might say a man is like a shield. You might make up the word shieldgender, if you were trying to explain being a man. As a metaphor.
It’s not a metaphor for all xenogender people, but for some it is. It’s about creating a new cultural myth of a type of person.
Reframing two genders as concepts is a cool approach, I think it brings it a lot closer for me. I need to think about it thank you 🙏
