Hey Aussies, do you want your real name and ID slapped on your tumblr account? If the answer is fuck no, our gov’s got a upcoming legislation for banning 16 year olds and under from social media even WITH parental consent. And by “Social Media”…
The code defines social media as electronic services that meet the following conditions:
The sole or primary purpose of the service is to enable online social interaction between two or more end users
The service allows end users to link to, or interact with, some or all other end users
The service allows end users to post material on the service
Such other conditions (if any) as are set out in the legislative rules.
So. You know. Just the entire fucking internet. They even named youtube as banned, god forbid kids out in the bush get access to LGBTQ+ communities online when they could be watching adds for sportsbet.
I am 100 per cent supportive of eliminating bullying and fake information from online platforms. The easiest way to do that is to be able to utilise existing laws, and the easiest way to do that is to ensure there are no fake accounts. Your digital, online life is your real life. If you want to make comments, that's fine, but it should be as you, as a verified account. This means everyone knows who it is that makes those comments, that you can be found and prosecuted under existing laws, just as you would if you express those opinions in a newspaper, for example, or you went on to a television station and said something similar.
Contact an Aussie senator about this shit. They’re trying to slide it under all the USpol news.
quick are you mythologizing sex again? are you making it seem like a special category of human behavior rather than just a thing people do? are you forgetting that it can be silly or fun or simply pedestrian? are you forgetting that it requires conversation and negotiation just like every other human activity that involves other people?
Knowing that trans women of color started the movement in the united states and were literally immediately erased and excluded from what they started is the most deeply jading knowledge.
It is the original sin of the so-called queer community and it damns it from the cradle.
things i experience or have experienced due to being and growing up intersex
painful intercourse, to the point there are times i cant ignore it and we have to stop, this leads to me feeling insecure and feeling like im disappointing my partners.
extremely painful periods, to the point i went to the hospital almost every time i got one
intersexism and internalized intersexism
i grew up with no gender marker on any of my legal documents
painful cysts on my ovaries
being made fun of by sexual partners for having abnormal genitalia
having intimate photos of myself shared because AND I QUOTE “you just look weird down there”
never feeling like i fit in with the girls or boys
not feeling like im trans enough because i was never female to start so im technically not even FTM trans
having to argue with doctors because they used to acknowledge i was intersex and refuse to diagnose me as such
people not understanding when i say im intersex and having to explain my diagnosis every single time because people wont let it be at just “im intersex, that means im not male or female” and they always want more details
people staring at my genitalia, people taking photos up my skirts and asking to see my body
being made fun of when i was little for being too masculine and having male features
being excluded from the LGBT community
long story short i get stared at every time i go out all because i have tits a dick and im currently growing facial hair.
shits rough out here i just wanted to being awareness to some of the things intersex people go through on a regular basis.
