"Most of my education had been in the sciences and all of it was Westernized -- it was difficult for me to consider an Igbo spiritual world to be equally if not more valid. The legacy of colonialism has always taught us that such a world isn't real, that it is nothing but juju and superstition. When I finally accepted its validity, I revisited what that could mean for my gender."

Beim #CSD selbst dürfte kaum Gefahr bestehen, aber wir müssen uns bei allen netten Reden klar bleiben, dass das nur kleine Inseln sind. Die #Religioten mobilisieren sich und wollen ihre alte Welt verteidigen, wie #Putin, und sie haben viele #Mitläufer: Gegen #Gender, #Frauenrechte, #Aufklärung und #Abtreibung mobilisierend.

Ihr #Gott ist eifersüchtig und strafend, ihr #Teufel die #Lust und #Freiheit!

GENDERGERECHTE SPRACHE – EINE SACHE DES #RESPEKTS UND DES #ANSTANDS!

Ein #Kommentar unseres Bundesvorstandsmitglieds Christin Löhner

Sprache verändert sich. Sprache hat sich immer verändert.

Es gab immer Widerstand gegen diese Vorschläge der #inkludierenden, #gendergerechten #Sprache oder Schreibweisen. Und doch haben sie sich immer mit der Zeit so weit durchgesetzt, dass sie in Amtsschriften, Gesetzestexten oder auch in persönlicher #Korrespondenz gerne benutzt wurden.

Heute stehen wir wieder vor solch einer #Wandlung.

"The whole notion of 'gay' does not exist in [#indigenous #Africa]...At least for the Dagara people (Burkina Faso), gender has very little to do with anatomy. It's purely energetic. In that context, a male who is physically male can vibrate female energy, and vice versa. So to limit [#Gender nonconforming people] to sexual orientation is the worst harm that can be done to a person. That all he or she is is a sexual person." ~ Malidoma Patrice Some

日本の履歴書はまだ性別（男女のみ）・年齢・顔写真まで載せるのかなあ。

101th post on here but still very unsure if or when we'll get closer to a #gender balance/diversity on here.

Sorry to be banging on about this but it's important (to me), esp because areas like #activetravel and #cycling are still dominated by men.

"They're indoctrinating our kids!!!"

Parents get almost unlimited leeway to indoctrinate their own #children. While some parents are pushing back about how #gender and #racism can be introduced to their children, society gets zero say about parents pushing children into #religion. Instead of wasting time defending whether or not people deserve basic rights, maybe the conversation should be about being free from all #indoctrination.

Being a decent man in an androphobic society is a conundrum I still try to figure in.
What strikes me the most is the verbal and visual violence of this society, it is not a gender problem.
I have been called too susceptible, too sensitive.
Many heterosexual women concluded I was gay and asked me, which I am not. I ended up falling chronically ill, obviously it was my fault, so I have been told so many times. I'm not a dumb beta male that's all.

#gender

Please, someone explain to me why #CPAP masks have to be #gender specific? Looking at one company’s and there’s the regular ones, and then some “for her” or “Bella”, and those have pink straps. Gah!
