Terfs Please Interact - Tumblr Posts

I'd bet good money that if Katie Ledecky started identifying as trans and competing against men in the Olympics, TRAs would change their minds pretty fast about pushing for legislation allowing trans people on opposite sex sports teams. I've heard there are men who won't even train in the same pool as her because she is so fast that it's intimidating.

Okay, so I have a sleep disorder (hence the sloth in the name) and I follow this sleep advocacy group/non profit on Instagram which of course, this month, felt the need to "highlight voices from the LGBTQ+ community" who struggle with sleep disorders. So today they posted about this one girl and she writes "I identify as queer and bisexual, and as disabled."

I'm sorry what? Are any of those things something you can "identify" as? Que*r is a slur, and even if it wasn't, what would it even mean? Like why is it a separate thing from your sexual orientation? Which by the way, that's what bisexuality is: a sexual orientation. Not an identity. And disabled, how tf do you identify as disabled? You either have a disability, or you don't. And then underneath that she writes "I have narcolepsy".

Are you sure? Maybe you just identify as narcoleptic. But that would sound ridiculous. 🙄

Has anyone watched Euphoria on HBO? Thoughts? I watched the first episode and while it is a deeply unsettling show, it portrays so much of the unique pressures gen Z is under. I'm aware it has a transgender girl in it, but I wondered what people's thoughts were on how both that and the the main character's drug addiction is portrayed and how it maybe even plays into the underlying factors that can contribute to dysphoria and drug dependence (as two separate issues).

Thoughts?
