Someone I need to avoid for personal safety reasons may have worked out what my handle is in a couple places so I’ve changed it here just for a little while in hope they get bored and move on.

The lack of boomer LGBTQ+ people isn’t because it’s “more popular now.” Many were murdered by their peers, died from government inaction during the AIDS crisis, committed suicide due to lack of social supports, or have had to live in the closet due to their peers’ cruelty.
Photo of the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus, showing most of the members in black suits with their backs turned to the camera: they represent those lost to AIDS. A handful are dressed in white, facing the camera.

“The men in white are the surviving members of the Original San Francisco Gay Men’s Choir. Those in black represent the members lost to AIDs. Remember this when people say the gay community survived the epidemic. We had to start over because we lost a whole generation.” (original post)

The thing I hate most about transhumanism discourse are the appeals to “humanity”. Like, “are you less human if you have cybernetics?” and “does it affect your humanity if you change your genes?”


And I just.. Look man, I’m trans, disabled, and autistic. Half the world already barely considers me human, on a good day.

So I don’t think it makes sense to get mad at me for wanting fangs and a gender you can pick up on a Geiger counter.

You’re yelling about this being a slippery slope, and meanwhile you pushed me down it. You can’t justify annoyance at me deciding to go “weeee” all the way down.
