There is currently a large crowd of what appears to be QAnon believers at the AT&T Discovery Plaza in downtown Dallas. A popular QAnon theory recently is that JFK Jr. of the Kennedy family will be making a big announcement at Dealey Plaza by the grassy knoll sometime tomorrow.

there are important people in my life who live with DID who have _words_ for these sorts of people, and have all sorts of mixed (or... not very "mixed" at all) feelings about plural self-ID folks. heh.

@zkat__ ("kat marchán") replied to a tweet by @zkat__:

this is, it seems, a Whole Thing, not just an isolated incident, and holy cow.

@zkat__ ("kat marchán") wrote:

today I learned that there's an entire community of _roleplayers_ who sneak into DID and/or DID-friendly spaces just so they can kin, and then they use disability language to, say, claim that people kinning the same character is "triggering", to get them banned.

A lot of anti sex work progressives have responded to my threads about protecting sex workers with some familiar stuff: what about SWs who don't want to be SWs but can't get out? As a lawyer who has represented not just voluntary SWs, let me break it down:

@zkat__ ("kat marchán") replied to a tweet by @zkat__:

Getting misgendered fucking sucks, though. I don't have much of an answer to that. I wish it weren't usually on us to actually stick our necks out into _vulnerability_. Cause The Cis will parrot pronoun stuff but they'll rarely actually stick their necks out for us.

@zkat__ ("kat marchán") replied to a tweet by @zkat__:

cis people stop reading now.

trans folks, esp fellow non-binary folks: Some of us seriously need to scale back our expectations, imo. But that's... my opinion. The Cis don't get it, for the most part, and their fumbling doesn't say anything about you, or your identity.

@zkat__ ("kat marchán") replied to a tweet by @zkat__:

Thinking about this more, there's a certain way of _communicating_ about another person's pronouns that's actually standing up for them, and another that's just... kinda shifting the burden and making it seem like you're just "the messenger".

don't be the messenger.

@zkat__ ("kat marchán") replied to a tweet by @zkat__:

but like I'm saying, there's plenty of nuance here. Is it bad for cis people to slap pronouns on their profiles? I don't think so, honestly. But I'm more neutral/bearish on it than anything.

I just want people to use the right pronouns for me and have it be BORING and NORMAL.

complicated feels about pronouns because like... I actually care about them? But I'm uncomfortable when it feels like The Cis make a big deal out of them because it makes it feel like it's more about their own wanting to Be Good and less about just... normalizing something nice.
