If you could choose, would you choose to be attracted to men? by foxglove in c/womensstuff@piefed.blahaj.zone

[-] foxglove@lazysoci.al 27 points 5 months ago

probably not, tbh; this question reminds me a little of political lesbianism within second wave feminism

Izzard identifies as genderfluid[94][95] and calls herself "somewhat boy-ish and somewhat girl-ish".[18] She uses the word "transgender" as an umbrella term.[96] When asked in 2019 what pronouns she preferred, Izzard responded, "either 'he' or 'she'" and explained, "If I am in boy mode, then 'he', or girl mode, 'she'".[97] In 2020, she requested she/her pronouns for an appearance on the TV show Portrait Artist of the Year and said she wants "to be based in girl mode from now on".[98] In March 2023, she announced that she would begin using the name Suzy in addition to Eddie, saying that she is "going to be Suzy Eddie Izzard".[2][1] Explaining that she had wanted to use the name Suzy since she was 10 years old, she added that people "can choose" which name they want to use to refer to her,[1][2] and that she would keep using Eddie Izzard as her public name since it is more widely recognised.[99]

what is the difference between anti-sexism and feminism? (lazysoci.al)

It's fairly well established that feminism is broadly the movement to bring about the equality of the sexes (i.e. the movement against sexism).

Why does it feel like "anti-sexism" as a term might be born from a misunderstanding of feminism as being misandrist? I don't see any articles on "anti-sexism", anyone have clarity?

Honestly that product smells like grift trying to exploit insecure young men to mine them for personal data.

When something great happens in your life how do you celebrate?

Here are a few things I do:

buy a bouquet of flowers for my partner
go to a nice restaurant
bake or cook something special, esp. a sweet treat like cake, cookies, etc.

From a UN Development Programme statement:

In 62 countries, consensual same-sex sexual relations between adults in private are criminalized, with 12 of these countries even imposing the death penalty for such relations.

The 2025 edition of the Rainbow Map has been released:

https://rainbowmap.ilga-europe.org/

Here were some key findings:

Conversion practices are only banned in 10 countries.

6 is the number of countries where LGBTI people do not have any protection from discrimination.

Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Denmark, Finland, Greece, Iceland, Montenegro, Serbia and Spain are the only countries that have full coverage of SOGIESC in their anti-discrimination legislations.

Hate crime and hate speech on the grounds of sexual orientation, gender identity, and sex characteristics are prohibited in Belgium, Denmark, Greece, Iceland, Malta, and some regions in Spain and the UK.

Marriage equality for same-sex couples is only available in 22 countries.

18 is the number of countries without any legal protection of same-sex partnerships.

Trans parenthood is fully recognised only in 8 countries.

Only Germany, Greece, Iceland, Malta, Portugal and Spain prohibit unnecessary surgical or medical interventions on intersex children.

11 countries still don’t have any legal or administrative procedure for legal gender recognition.

In addition, Bulgaria, Hungary and Russia have laws that make legal gender recognition completely impossible.

Only in 12 countries, trans people can have legal gender recognition based on self-determination.

Freedom of assembly and association for LGBTI communities are restricted or under attack in at least 14 countries.

Sexual orientation and gender identity are qualification criteria for seeking asylum in 27 countries. Intersex asylum seekers are protected in the law only in 6 countries.
