This is victim-blaming drivel. Autocrats will oppress minorities either way. Advocacy for the oppressed is not to blame.

Gender is a way for people to comply in advance

The man who studies the spread of ignorance
Georgina Kenyon for BBC (2016)

"Agnotology is the study of wilful acts to spread confusion and deceit, usually to sell a product or win favour

It comes from agnosis, the neoclassical Greek word for ignorance or ‘not knowing’, and ontology, the branch of metaphysics which deals with the nature of being."

My body my choice should apply to intersex children.

The thing about calendars is that they are only effective at keeping your schedule if you are able to recognize whether they are showing the current day. I increasingly lack this skill.

@inthehands the last time I tried to be expedient and nab an early appointment, it was cancelled because they hadn't actually received any vaccines yet.

Now the third color really trips people up because, yes, it's purple, but it's actually representing something called red.

Yes, that's right, the purple stripe in the gender nonbinary flag is for red onions. There's no such thing as purple onions, silly.

That's unusual for a pride flag. Usually the stripes indicate something like an emotion or a concept. For example, yellow and purple are also used in the intersex pride flag and have special meanings there.

Anyway, the white stripe on the gender nonbinary flag is for white onions.

This often surprises people, but the yellow in the gender nonbinary pride flag represents yellow onions.

Did you know that LGBTQIA pride flags often have special meanings? It's true.

For example, the nonbinary pride flag is four horizontal stripes, from top to bottom: yellow, white, purple, and black.

Why those colors?

Let's explore the original meaning behind the gender nonbinary pride flag colors.

Utah murders children who misbehave. It's a religious war on children's lives.
