@tipsywench I’ve removed the reduxx link after looking into the values they hold so thank you for holding me accountable for that, I was going off what they posted on their personal twitter accounts and so forth.

Delete myself from public life? Have I got to go sit in the Naughty Corner until I repent or something? You know nothing about me aside from this post, that’s crazy dawg.

Nobody with XY chromosomes can be a woman. I’m not sure how that can be misconstrued. But if you have a qualification in developmental biology you’ve been hiding somewhere feel free to whip it out.

Nowhere have I mentioned WoC or race in this argument, I find it rich you would bring it up. Wait, why DID you bring it up? 🤨

Lastly, this report on top of other evidence from labs that are independent from the IBA have confirmed that chromosomes was the reason for her disqualification from other boxing events.

Ultimately, I am embarrassed for you lol. While it is unfortunate that Khalif has been on the global spotlight and subject to scrutiny, the IOC needed to make sure through non-intrusive testing that all is well, especially if she had been flagged previously.

And lastly, I am using “her” because I am assuming she was raised as a girl in Algeria due to the political and religious climate there.

Phew. If you want sources or anything from stuff I have stated, do send me a DM and I’ll be happy to discuss. That or I do have a lot of links in my pinned post.

Take care.

(posting this so it is not hidden in replies)

EDIT: (also my phone I think translated it for me automatically which I wasn’t aware of Being A Thing)

I’d also like to mention I don’t think this is a transgender issue but I’m also torn as to how this got through “unnoticed” or there weren’t repercussions in Algeria because of the attitude toward transgender people there.

Even if we assume she was raised female because of the particular DSD Khelif has, I’m not sure why it was not picked up during puberty.

Edit 2: (lol) I will remove the reduxx link from this as I’ve been informed (thank you🩵) that it is not a reliable source. I have been seeing other articles on this topic since I saw the original, but for the moment I’m gonna leave this post be.

I have other posts on my pinned post on the Khelif controversy about the topic.

[my-castles-crumbling]

Hey, I know that you've been doing a lot of advice/listening for people who need to rant and stuff lately.

I was just wondering if there was anything you wanted to rant about/get advice on. I love you so much and I'd hate for you to feel like you couldn't express your own thoughts/worries just because you're helping everyone else.

You can respond to this, or even DM me any time. ♥️♥️♥️

Actually, yeah.

Background for those of you reading who don't know: I am a middle school ESL teacher. I work with students who are immigrants. Many of them are not citizens, or their parents are not citizens. (Not all of them, but many).

Now that it's pretty obvious Trump is going to win the election, I have decided to take the day off of school today to collect myself. I need a day to process and I don't think I'll be able to keep it together if I go in today because selfishly, I am disgusted and upset about MY rights.

But tomorrow when I go in to work, how do I talk to a bunch of 11-15 year olds about the fact that their lives and their parents' lives may now be drastically affected by this? I'm a citizen, I'm white, I'm not affected in this way, and I don't know how to be real with them and sympathetic without scaring them.

Obviously, @pickinglilahs, this isn't just directed at you. Anyone reading can answer. But I just am not sure how to address this with them in a way that shows I am here for them, while not starting a detailed discussion that might not be allowed by my school and also not scaring them more.

i think it’s only fair to take george’s words on his sexuality as fact until he officially says otherwise. it’s not really anyone’s place to try to look for hints. time and time again people are made to talk about their sexualities before they’re ready because of people digging and making assumptions. like to be honest some of y’all are starting to sound like leaktwt at this point. he’s okay with the shipping and that’s great keep going with that and the jokes are very funny but when it comes to truthing his actual sexuality giving him labels he hasn’t claimed yet is invasive

here are my thoughts on george's sexuality if you want to give it a read 👍 it's from a bit ago but my take is pretty much the same however with recent developments I think that there is nothing wrong with taking things said at face value. I hope that when you say his "words on his sexuality" you are including the "I like guys" moment. if you are, then I think we are on the same page with it

The Syd Poll

the topic of this poll is one that is frequently avoided in the pink floyd fandom, but inevitably one we all consider – our individual views on what we think caused syd's psychological struggles (and by extension, led to his departure from the band). I think that – at least in this neighborhood of tumblr – this is a conversation we are capable of having in a way that is civil, nuanced, and at least minimally disrespectful to syd.

So, to help facilitate this, here are some ground rules:

let's all assume we have a mutual understanding of the complexities of this. syd could never actually be reduced down to a poll, and all of our viewpoints are limited in various ways

the poll options just serve as just a conversation starter, and responses are not necessarily a statement of absolute beliefs

feel free to discuss as much or as little of your own perspective as you feel comfortable sharing.

in the case that debates break out, please try to assume good intent – and also demonstrate it (unless, for instance, someone is being blatantly insulting beyond a misunderstanding that needs correcting)

please do NOT vote if you are not actually a pink floyd fan with at least basic knowledge about what we're talking about here.

The options I've included below are not meant to be exhaustive, they are simply the "theories" that I have seen most commonly circulated. I have also decided not to include combinations. I'm fairly sure we'd all agree multiple factors were involved. Rather than make the poll too complicated, I ask you to instead select the one that you think is the "most" important to your viewpoint, and clarify further in your tags/comments as you wish.

so. here we go.

READ BEFORE VOTING ^^^^

(note of correction: "late-onset schizophrenia" should just be "schizophrenia". the typical timeline for onset of symptoms is late adolescence/early adulthood, so syd would've been well within that period at the time)

OK we can stop talking about serious stuff look at this.

[mashbrainrot]

a sleepy and sloppy comment on the tiny amount of fandom wank that is wafting about the place:

back in September 2023 the masholes discord server had to kick an individual for bad behaviour. since then, they have been attempting to stir up trouble by way of multiple fake accounts, baity anons, the lot. our policy up until now has been to not feed the troll, but a) they have finally managed to dredge up a slight amount of attention from other people, and b) I have run out of cheeks to turn and fucks to give.

there have been very (very!) few issues in our server, especially relevant to its size, but I am 100% confident in our ability to back up every single action we have taken in response to any of it if needs be. in fact, I would say that the only concern I have about our conduct is that we have occasionally been too lenient. it is a really lovely space and we - that is the mods AND the other members - work hard to keep it that way.

if anyone ever wants to join and see for themselves, they can dm me, the server owner @pomegranate , or the other mod @amrv-5 and we will generate you an invite link.

[anxiously-sidequesting]

SPEAKING OF WHICH are there like any chill wizard101 discord servers or group chats that I could join. Or if anyone just wanna add me on discord shoot me a tumblr DM because I'm lonely and I like you guys :)

so you’re ok with that artist depicting Jee as white? regardless of who said what it’s quite clear in the art that she has been white-washed.

“regardless of who said what” things do not occur in a vaccum. regardless of you saying whatever you want on anon, i choose to use my own brain to make an assessment about this, and it’s not about what i think, anyway.

as i said last night, if you were truly concerned about this, you would approach me in DMs are off-anon. instead, i’m more inclined to think that you want to monopolise on drama that didn’t need to happen.

no one would look at jee-yun as the artist has depicted her and say “hey, that’s a white child”. depictions of POC - and i can’t speak on korean depictions specifically, but i’m south asian so hopefully this explanation gets through to you - are not limited to just skin color. there are many other factors involved, and depending on the art style, those things may or may not show.

the artist has clearly explained the choices behind their depictions of jee yun as a korean artist, including numerous color swatches from the source material which do have jee yun paler than buck and maddie - with different undertones - and every one of their explanations is more believable than this rhetoric you’re spreading.

okay its going under a readmore bc its messy and a lot, i'll try to keep it succinct though. CW for some discussion of the ongoing g.enocide and things around that topic

so one of the friends is someone I've really respected and admired because they're a very intelligent well-spoken and kind-hearted individual. i've really been impressed with how they think about things and with their ability to write really fantastic essays (that they often share with this friend group because they're in school and enjoy sharing their work with us because a lot of us are interested in the things they write about). about a year ago, this person went through the process of converting to j.udaism and we were all very excited (and continue to be happy) for them. they've been really happy with the process and the community they've found and it's been really good for them.

however! this person has since stated they are a z.ionist! and they've said that it just means that j.ewish people should live in i.srael, it doesn't mean they support the i.df or what is happening in p.alestine currently. but I'm just... baffled at how they can think that non-p.alestinians occupying the country could EVER be done peacefully. it has ALWAYS been colonization. it was never going to be done in a peaceful manner.

do j.ewish people deserve a safe place to exist? absolutely! but I do not think, ESPECIALLY now, that that safe place can ever be located in p.alestine. I'm not the most educated or well-read individual, I've done a bit of reading over the past few months but my memory is shoddy and I consistently forget almost everything I've read, but as far as I can tell, this has been a non-peaceful occupation (...can occupation ever really be done peacefully in reality? i doubt it.) from the very beginning. p.alestinians were being kicked out of their houses from the start.

and to add onto the messiness of this all, I am the only i.ndigenous person in the entire group. I am the only one coming at this from an i.ndigenous perspective. and because of my perspective, I am ALWAYS going to be on the side of the population that first lived and existed in a place. i am always on the side of l.and back, i am always on the side of the first peoples. anything less would be essentially agreeing with colonization.

so it is just incredibly uncomfortable to be the only i.ndigenous person in this group while the rest of the group has discussed and expressed sympathy with this person for holding self-professed z.ionist beliefs (I do not believe this person has done the right reading to fully understand what they are saying, which is so strange because they are usually so good about educating themself). and I feel like if I try to say anything to argue or simply question this person, I'm going to rock the boat too much and make Everyone uncomfortable and the entire thing will blow up and fall apart around me. so my options seem to be either: a) say something, b) say nothing and stay in the group, or c) say nothing and quietly leave the group. none of which feel like good options!

and it sucks so much because there are people I genuinely do like in this group, and I've liked this one person and respected them since I met them, but they're really .... showing themself to be an unsafe person at the end of the day. I keep feeling like maybe I'm not seeing something or maybe I'm missing something, but I've looked at this from multiple angles and while I do absolutely see where they're coming from and even sympathise with some of it, I disagree with them on a fundamental level.

(also it seems really fucked up for them to be newly converted to j.udaism and endorsing what is essentially colonization and lowkey ignoring the fact that PEOPLE ARE BEING GENOCIDED RIGHT NOW so maybe we should not be discussing "but where are all the j.ewish ppl going to live :(" until the bullets and bombs stop at the very least(????????), while I've been indigenous and dealing with the consequences of attempted (and still ongoing!) genocide and colonization my entire life)

So I've read a lot of your posts and replies about torture apologia and I wanted to ask you what you think the best way to educate people is without throwing books at their faces and how best to signal to readers that you're writing unrealistic torture.

I'm asking this as someone who is moderately educated on torture and its effects. But I do enjoy reading and writing some of the more outlandish tropes like brainwashing in over-the-top settings for a variety of reasons I'm not going to mention here because explaining that would take ages and risk my anonymity.

Because there is a way to tell people that you're writing erotica that shouldn't be used as educational material for safe sex or bdsm etiquette (because its purpose is to be fantastical and unrealistic) and while it's going to be way harder with torture since people are less educated on it, there should be a way to go about it, right?

for the record i'd prefer the torture discussion sorts of questions to go over to @dark-audit, but im too tired to copy this over rn lol

i'll say this: if you're going to knowingly perpetuate myths and/or make themes that inadvertantly justify the use of torture, a good handful of which are so accepted in public discourse and fiction, a good portion of your audience believes they're factual long before they read a single thing you've written - you better make sure you signal that that's exactly what you're doing, and systematically shut down any suggestion that treats your depiction of torture as realistic, or, yknow, thematically moral in the context of real world politics. one thing is disclaimers, another is having regular conversations with your readers about how torture actually functions, which means you're gonna have to dip your toes into reading up on the topic. this is the bare minimum for handling this sort of thing responsibly imo. the current conventions for depictions of torture are misinformation and justifications. if you want to change that status quo while sticking to harmful narratives "for a variety of reasons I'm not going to mention", you're gonna have to put some serious effort in out-of-text. apologies but you dont get the good boy points for free lol

the better option would be to maybe perhaps not indulge the myths, no matter how compelling they are to you? it requires a bit of effort but if the alternative is turning a blind eye to apologia, maybe it's worth that effort. imo torture is an interesting and cathartic thing to write about even if you stick to depictions that are in line with reality. there are so many facets to it you could dive into, i don't really see the point in engaging with war on terror/reeducation rhetoric. but maybe thats just me

there's a roller disco every friday night in my town and i wanna go so bad but alas i have no friends

[hungersauce]

im gonna be real anon I don't care about label shit ship discourse I care about if real people are getting hurt and ONE reblog from someone being jokingly aggressive on the subject isn't enough to convince me that people are getting hurt when there's more evidence to the contrary. you've put me in a shitty situation here and I don't want to engage with it. please just ask people what they actually think next time before you go throwing your assumptions at other people.
