Don't some mushrooms have like 26,000 sexes or something wild like that?
I know right? Imagine being extremely concerned with the sexual practices of the teletubbies or Elmo
My "I am NOT obsessing about genitals" t-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.
There are countless kids shows where the kids don't appear to have parents or they're just not a part of the show. No one has ever bothered to even mention where, for example, are the parents in Mighty Express.
Where are the Muppet Babies' parents? Why is the nanny at their daycare rarely present? This is the death of Western civilization.
What is a persons life like where this is the most concerning thing to them at any time? Like even during the least eventful times in my life, something this insignificant wouldn't even be more than a blip, what the fuck.
All reactionary clout chasers are prone to get worked up over absolutely nothing, but the people who pick transphobia as their favorite bigottry are the most unhinged, obsessive losers imaginable. Once they reach the final stage of trans exclusionary tunnel vision, they are all exactly like this. I thought i'm familiar with TERF dogwhistles and talking points, but i don't even know what point she's trying to make in that post apart from "i'm on twitter crying and shitting my pants with rage."
bigotry has historically been the most reliable version of bread and circuses.
If these people read any science fiction at all I suspect they would melt into a pile of wet organs.
Well Maja Forstarters, let me tell you about something that might blow your mind. One time I was reading a kid a book, and she kept pointing at random background characters asking what their names were, but the book didn't have that information! So you know what I did? I just told her whatever random names came to my head! It's a little trick I like to call, "making shit up." If the book doesn't include something the kid wants to know, or that you want the kid to know, you can just... say it. You can say they're an alien. You can decide how they reproduce and if they have parents and where they are, through the power of 🌠 imagination! 🌠 I know what you're thinking, "But I don't want to lie to my kid!" Well here's the real kicker - everything in that book you're reading, it's made up too! Your kid is probably not going to be upset if you tell them things that don't adhere to the canonical Bookstart Bear universe. I know this is a lot to take in.
My niece had a "Baby Shark" storybook, and we nick named the great white shark "Fat Pauly".
The idea that things they read in a book might not be literally true is alien to them
Tbh it's more that she's upset about seeing an NB character and wants to legitimize her whining by pretending it's about the children.
It must be wild being one of these people's kids. You're happily reading a book with your mom and there's a cute little alien and suddenly out of nowhere she goes full :frothingfash: and rushes over to fire off a bunch of tweets, and you're just sitting there like :what:
I know it's because I played Outer Wilds recently, but my first thought here is that this character might be like the Hearthians, amphibians who hatch in large batches and are all nonbinary. Asking about a mother in this case is indeed meaningless.
Transphobes really show a huge lack of imagination and empathy. The gender binary isn't fixed in stone, especially across species, you absolute dinguses.
You can't just invent a cartoon from another world child and then give it generic pronouns! We need to know what its REAL pronouns are! We need to know where its mother is! Where is this cartoon alien's mother?! We need to know, for child safety reasons!
I don't see a traditional family, why am I being oppressed?!?! :sunny-breakdown:
:frothingfash:: "But I bet those SJWs are real angry when they see a straight white male on TV! Since I get mad (good) when I see norms being challenged, it MUST be that they get mad (bad) when norms are followed and respected!"
