Nothing but the true truth.

Good. Not enough, but good.
Oh, guess I learned another useful label for me, an AMAB trigender (man, woman, agender) demiboy. Pretty sure "AMAB demiboy" is considered loosely cisgender by most.
I personnally don't care about whether LGBT+ people and allies consider me transgender or cisgender, but I don't want to cause discomfort when presenting myself. (Especially since I'd like to join a local LGBT support and advocacy association, when I find one accessible enough from home). "Non binary" was already fitting enough to my taste, but "isogender" gives me a more tightly fitting option. It's litterally the first case described on the "LGBTQIA Wiki" page.
I wonder if the french equivalent is "isogenre".
EDIT : I see, in the other post in this community, that other labels that work too. For example, "demicisgender".
We know that Trump is only the chaotic mouthpiece for a much larger and much more problematic power structure in the USA.
A power structure that has been quietly and increasingly fucking the rest of us for decades. Trump simply ripped the mask off and got loud about it.
Not just in the USA. All around the world, mainly among the self proclaimed "(representative) democraties", which are many countries. (The openly authoritarian regimes are already authoritarian, but can still progress toward more intolerance.)
And yes Trump, while himself being the symptom of these systems current state, has acted as a catalyst for the march toward hateful authorianism.
Exactly why I created a new internet identity when I joined the fediverse with the intent to be open about myself.
My usual web identities are too tied to my civil identity, and the socio-political context in France is not so good, while still better than in the USA.
Moreover, I don't come from a very tolerant social background. I had to be really independant to begin deconstructing my previously learned biases. (A never ending effort.)
Which one are you
- Male
- Female
- Walmart Bag
Somehow all of the above ? (Except I never had anything to do with Walmart. Wrong country.)
If we're talking about D.J. Trump, then I'm pretty sure we can expect at least some sighs of relief in many countries, but not from those in power. This guy is a nuisance for more than just the USA, because of the USA's geopolitical dominant position, and also because of the international networking between supremacist leaders and similar.
Agreed.
There was a famous case in France several years ago, around the freshly dead heinous monster named Jean-Marie Le Pen. His "orator talents" were praised after his death, both by dominant media and dominant politicians, including supposed to be ennemies with him and his legacy. Those who still publicly stood against him and his legacy were told to rospect the dead and were vilified. But as some members of communities he targeted said: "I will respect him in death like he respected us while alive."
The man was a white national-supremacist with ties to the OG nazis. Racist, imperialist, xenophobe, LGBT-phobe, redheaded-phobe(?), ... He very probably participated with enthousiasm in torture and other mass crimes from the french side during Algeria's independence war. (Also, colonialisation is a mass crime in itself.)
So yeah, fuck forced reverence. This guy was a hateful mass criminal, and his death didn't change this fact.
WTF ?!?
