"The trannies should be able to piss in whatever toilet they want and change their bodies however they want. Why is it my business if some chick has a dick or a guy has a pie? I'm not a trannie or a fag so I don't care, just give 'em the medicine they need."
"This is an LGBT safe space. Of COURSE I fully support individuals who identify as transgender and their right to self-determination! I just think that transitioning is a very serious choice and should be heavily regulated. And there could be a lot of harm in exposing cis children to such topics, so we should be really careful about when it is appropriate to mention trans issues or have too much trans visibility."
One of the above statements is Problematic and the other is slightly annoying. If we disagree on which is which then working together for a better future is going to get really fucking difficult.
'White Americans don't have any culture, they're just [normal/boring/generic/empty]. 'Culture' is when you're quaint and exotic and have interesting ethnic foods and holidays." is such a grating bit of nonsense to have somehow become progressive commonsense in a lot of places.
thinking about how the bible is all affect. about how it is an oral thing, a leak between bodies, a murmur between lovers or a yell at a wound or a song in a nursery. the bible is a language that falls over itself. it is a word left untranslated. i am thinking of סֶֽלָה (selah), a transliterated word that means nothing except for when it means everything—it is a word that is really a sigh. or, i am thinking of יהוה (yhwh), the name of god that is no name at all but instead the panting of breath. affective, rhythmic, pulsing, the bible and its language can't catch up to itself. it was never meant to. cantillation and intonation can do no good with a text in excess. nor anything the masoretes did, nor new lexicons either (הַֽלְלוּ/hallelujah can't attach itself to meaning, no matter how hard you try)
