#gender inclusive

[seraphic-sapphic-safehaven]

Dear Cis People,

Stop saying "folx." Stop saying "womxn" and "mxn." Stop saying "Latinx." Stop trying to be gender inclusive like this and attempting to make words gender neutral in the worst way possible.

Stop adding an "X" to words that are already inclusive of everyone, such as "folks"!

Stop adding "X" to words that don't need it because, newsflash, nonbinary people ARE NOT binary trans people! We are not binary men and women. We have terms like AFAB and AMAB to use instead of forcibly being lumped together with binary men and women! You wanna talk about women and AFAB enbies? SAY THAT! You wanna talk about men and AMAB enbies? SAY THAT! But please stop including us all together all the time!

Stop anglicizing languages like Spanish to make them gender neutral when there are better options, like saying "LatinE" or "Latin." And options like using an "E" instead of an "X" to neutralize gendered terms! Stop using an X when it literally doesn't make sense and is hard to pronounce anyway!

I get it; some of you wanna be inclusive of everyone. But this ain't it. It really is not. This isn't helping anyone and is so unnecessary. It is performative and, honestly, racist and transphobic/enbyphobic, whether it's intended or not. Please stop!! And PLEASE talk to actual nonbinary people on how to be gender inclusive towards us instead!!

(This one guy's opinions on) How to Write a Gender-Inclusive Casting Call

I've put a fair bit of thought, research, and market testing into how I approach gender in my casting calls, and since someone asked, took a few to write that all down. Figured it might be a useful resource to some.

if you can’t clearly define what a woman is, and you reject every radical feminist who can clearly define what a woman is, how do you know you are one?

Illinois bills that would update existing laws to be more gender inclusive and add protections for LGBTQ marriages are ready for action by Gov. J.B. Pritzker, who said he will sign them.

The trio of state bills passed last week are meant to move the state in the “opposite direction” of those restricting LGBTQ youth, said Sen. Mike Simmons, the bills’ sponsor and the first and only current “out” LGBTQ lawmaker in the Illinois Senate.

Illinois is one of several U.S. states that have moved to counteract a surge of anti-LGBTQ legislation in mostly Republican-led states.

On the same day just a few hours away, Indiana’s governor signed a bill that will require schools to notify a parent if a student requests a name or pronoun change at school, one of several bills this legislative session targeting LGBTQ people in the state.

Illinois’ neighbors to the west, Missouri and Iowa, have gone in a similar direction by restricting gender-affirming care and the bathrooms transgender students can use.

The Illinois Democratic supermajority passed the bills out of the Senate on Thursday, and the measures now await Pritzker’s signature.

“The Governor is proud to support legislation that creates a more welcoming, affirming, and inclusive Illinois,” said spokesperson Alex Gough on Friday.

“In the face of rising violence and bigotry toward the trans, nonbinary, and gender non-conforming community, providing support and recognition for those who identify as LGBTQ+ has never been more important,” Gough said.

One bill would replace certain pronouns with the nouns to which the pronouns refer, such as “minor” instead of “he or she,” and “person who gives birth” in place of “mother” in some existing laws concerning children in the state’s care.

Before her “no” vote, Republican Caucus Whip Sen. Jil Tracy said: “I gave birth to two boys that weighed over 10 pounds (4.5 kilograms). I think I deserve more dignity that just ‘a person who gave birth.’ I’m a mother.”

The Illinois Family Institute, a Christian nonprofit, opposes all three bills.

David Curtin, the institute’s lobbyist, said the bill on pronouns is “tinkering” with terms that are legally important, and “there’s only two genders, and its male and female and him and her. So why not just stay with the program?”

Changing the language of laws “doesn’t change reality,” Curtin said.

Simmons said that the bill is primarily intended to affirm LGBTQ youth in the child welfare system, which a 2021 audit found that Illinois’ Department of Children and Family Services has failed to do.

Young people in DCFS’ care have “repeatedly” relayed to ACLU Illinois lobbyist Nora Collins-Mandeville “the challenges that they have with folks identifying their family members correctly or their own identities correctly,” she said.

“Language matters,” said Collins-Mandeville, who worked with Simmons on the bill. “Contrary to some of the opposition ... it actually includes more people and allows people to identify themselves.”

Another bill would require state agencies to track employees who identify as non-binary or gender non-conforming to help achieve workforce diversity, and a third bill would make it easier for LGBTQ couples who resided in other states to marry in Illinois.

When the Supreme Court overturned the federal right to an abortion in June, the ruling included a concurring opinion from Justice Clarence Thomas that suggested the high court should review other precedent-setting rulings, including the 2015 decision legalizing same-sex marriage.

The marriage bill is meant to serve as fail-safe in case that decision is reversed, Simmons said.

“What we’re trying to do is get ahead of any actions that might be taken to invalidate Obergefell or any of those other cases that would have a direct and disastrous impact on LGBTQ households in the country,” he said, referring to the 2015 U.S. Supreme Court decision legalizing same-sex marriage.

The Respect for Marriage Act, signed by President Joe Biden in December, enshrines the right to same-sex and interracial marriages in federal law.

For Chicago lawmaker Simmons, the three Illinois bills are personal. “There are so many other state legislatures right now that are making a sport of targeting my community,” he said.

“So many people fought so hard for me to even have the right to exist, to be able to be an out and proud, Black, LGBTQ+ state senator,” he said. But the current political climate is “dispiriting at times,” Simmons said.

“There’s several states that are going light years back on LGBTQ and civil rights.” he said. “Everything is going backwards.”

Cons, please step up your policy and practice to protect trans, non-binary Two-Spirit and gender diverse attendees, guests and staff. We see so many states threatening or enacting gross attacks on our ability to exist. Cons can do small but mighty things to build safer spaces in increasingly hostile environments. 🧵

A non-exhaustive list of things I’ve encountered and think are important considerations:

1. Ensure con attendees can choose the name on their badge and can collect their badges without having to disclose their legal name (especially not aloud).

2. Prioritize venues with gender neutral washrooms widely available. If possible add washroom signage to binary washrooms for the duration of the con welcoming trans, non-binary and gender-diverse folks and/or make designated binary washrooms universal and train staff accordingly.

3. Cosplay contests should ensure that participants are able to self identify pronouns and names, especially if they will be used in announcing the participant on stage or on prizes/certificates.

4. Ensure you have trans, non-binary, gender diverse and Two-Spirit people represented on staff and in leadership positions. Include trans, non-binary, gender diverse and Two-Spirit people in guest line-ups.

5. Be clear and transparent about your gender-inclusive policies. These should be known to all participants and staff and interwoven into all planning, activities and events.

Everyone!!! Check out Volume II of this wonderful siddur!!!!

Siddur Or veShalom is the second volume of Siddur Masorti, a new Sefaradi siddur. Siddur Or veShalom contains the liturgy for Shabbat and Festivals and is a part of our first ever community partnership with Congregation Or veShalom in Atlanta, Georgia.

"The Siddur offers a new, fluid, and gender sensitive translation of the text, a transliteration according to Sefaradi pronunciation, and a running commentary. It seems that one could not wish for more, yet there are many more pearls of wisdom and excitement to be found by the traveler in the magical paths of this Siddur."

It celebrates traditional Sefaradi liturgy, inclusive of a diversity of Sephardi/Mizraḥi customs and filled with beautiful piyyutim (songs and poetry) and psalm texts. But accessibility is at its core, with an unprecedented full transliteration, guiding commentary, and adaptations for use by all genders.

I reblog a lot of stuff with gendered terminology in it. But let it be known, if it references (her) pussy or something like that, I’m also looking at all of you with one/something similar. Whether it’s boy/manpussy, boy/mancunt, front hole, bonus hole, just a hole — insert how you refer to yourself and your body!

If it’s about (his) dick, I’m also looking at all of you whether it’s girlcock, girldick, tcock, tdick, a strap-on — insert how you refer to you and your body too!

Caveat: if it’s a trans post then it’s being read and taken as such.

The next episode of the Liminal Flares podcast, the 4th and final part of #TheYellowSign, is out tomorrow and holy cats, my dears... Despite my familiarity with this story, having read and edited, and then read and reread numerous times, it still makes my heart pound. I'm fairly certain @theremina is pioneering a combination of audio engineering and necromancy here.

All the stops, they have been pulled out.

You're in for an intensely #eldritch treat. 🌀

Someone preferring to use certain pronouns affects you just as much as someone preferring Hazelnut coffee creamer over French Vanilla

It doesn't

So shut the fuck up and carry on with your life

Oh, is having a video game give you inadequate options for your gender expression make you feel unwelcome? Is it frustrating? Wild.

who knew in 2022 it would be considered bigoted to say lesbians don’t like p*nises, even if the one with the p*nis wears pretty clothes and likes makeup.

a lesbian is female homosexual. only women can be lesbians.

if a man calls himself a lesbian, he’s a predator who needs to be avoided. and to expect lesbians to accept these men in their delusions is greatly lesbophobic.

like be fucking for real people.

Norway's first gender neutral Bunad.

Bunad is Norway’s cultural clothing

Buyers can build their own bunad, choosing from skirts, pants, vests and blazers.

All of them have our traditional pattern on it.

So, to all the Terfs saying they will pay me if I say the word Woman.

Ahem:

Woman.

Women.

Trans women are women.

Trans women deserve the same rights as cis women, because they are women.

Trans men are not women, but some of them still have the ability to get pregnant and thus, it's important to include them in the conversation about reproductive rights.

Nonbinary people are not women, or men, but some of them have the ability to get pregnant and thus, it's important to include them in the conversation about reproductive rights.

When we're talking about exclusively women's rights, on the other hand? yeah, let's not include trans men, but let's not forget trans women either.

(Also, I apologize to those trans people who find "uterus having" clunky. But as much as I know that "people need to have free access to abortion" is absolutely and completely true? this particular law affects those of us who can get pregnant because of the possession of a working uterus a little more than to those who don't have one)

Ok, terfs. I said woman and women ten times (Well, twelve with this last one, thirteen with the one after this) That is a minimum of ten dollars if you go with that silly meme of "say woman for a dollar". I will be expecting your payments either at my ko-fi or, if you don't want to give money to ME you can also give money to planned parenthood! They kinda need it right now!
