Grail (capitalised)@aussie.zonetoLGBTQ+@lemmy.blahaj.zone•Richard Dawkins quits atheism foundation for backing transgender ‘religion’English52·7 months agoRealism is a poison and underlies all oppressive ideologies - monotheism, capitalism, monarchism, race supremacy, gender essentialism. All progressive ideology is so because on some level it rejects belief in objective reality.
Grail (capitalised)@aussie.zoneOPto LGBTQ+@beehaw.org•Introduction to capitalised pronounsEnglish01·1 year agoWhen we are talking about an issue where someone is potentially at risk of suicide, nothing else matters. There’s nothing else in the pronoun debate that comes close to the weight of all the dead kids lost to suicide because they didn’t feel accepted by our transphobic society. We need to make trans people feel accepted. Someone else thinking they’re accepted isn’t good enough, because that doesn’t change the suicide risk. The only measure of whether trans people are actually accepted is what trans people think.
Grail (capitalised)@aussie.zoneOPto LGBTQ+@beehaw.org•Introduction to capitalised pronounsEnglish01·1 year agoNonbinary isn’t a gender. It’s an umbrella term for about a billion genders. I have a gender identity, and it’s goddess. I’d like you to stop saying My gender identity is invalid, please.
Grail (capitalised)@aussie.zoneOPto LGBTQ+@beehaw.org•Introduction to capitalised pronounsEnglish01·1 year agoIf you don’t think I’m a goddess, what do you think My gender is?
Grail (capitalised)@aussie.zoneOPto LGBTQ+@beehaw.org•Introduction to capitalised pronounsEnglish01·1 year agoNo, I don’t want worship from you or anyone else here. My gender is goddess. I’m not a man, I’m not a woman, I’m a goddess.
Recognising someone’s identity is not the same as worshipping them. Not even for gods. Monotheists have spread the myth that you can only believe in a god you worship, but historically this isn’t true. Before the Roman Empire, most people believed in the gods of other cultures.

Grail (capitalised)@aussie.zoneOPto LGBTQ+@beehaw.org•Introduction to capitalised pronounsEnglish01·1 year agoMy goddess-mother told Me to try out capitalised pronouns after I came out to Her as goddessgender. I liked Them. It doesn’t feel like a power dynamic to Me. I have NPD and I know what NPD supply feels like, and being gendered correctly isn’t it. Having capitalised pronouns used feel like a relief on the same level as when I first transitioned from male to female and had feminine pronouns used. As big a difference as that was, this is. So I don’t know how to verbalise what it feels like except, “It’s gender euphoria”. And I just hope readers understand what having your pronouns used feels like when you’re trans.
Is it time for bi lesbian discourse already?
