Personally I Dont Think Ill Ever Really Understand Pushback Against Using Queer To Describe An Lgbtq+

personally i dont think ill ever really understand pushback against using queer to describe an lgbtq+ person (especially from/by the queer community), its honestly a beautiful word and while it's been used and may be continue to be used to hurt us sometimes, i just really like that word

op you're 100% in the right here (in my humble opinion), keep up the good work <:

I hold such a special place in my heart for quote "out dated" queer language. Like now terms like transexual, transvestite and such are not used frequently or even considered totally incorrect bordering on offensive and yet... I find the existence of it so comforting. In a world where we lost almost an entire generation of queer people to the AIDS crisis and where anti-queer specifically anti trans rhetoric is increasing exponentially the simple fact we have tangible linguistic proof of history and evolution as a community is so incredibly comforting.

a little help please, students

slightly terrified for tomorrow

i volunteer at a battlefield and im giving my first tour of our field hospital all on my own tomorrow afternoon

i know my stuff but being autistic makes it kind of hard to properly articulate it without rambling on, especially since this is my special interest

any tips ?

just out of curiosity:

just to recap: a goldilocks/romeo and juliet law is when two (usually teens) are both:

above the age of consent (my state is 16)

are within 3-4 years of age (depending on the specifics of the law)

they may have consensual sex that, in the eyes of the law, is treated the same as two people over 18. so for example, a 19 y/o and a 17 y/o having consensual sex would be legal under this type of law

they are often put in place with the idea that it will help people transition from high school to real life easier, especially relationship-wise.

please feel free to add further insight to your vote in the comments/reblogs <:

44. up to 98% of civil war surgeries used anesthetic, most commonly chloroform or ether (chloroform was preferred though, because ether is very volatile and flammable).
