So um

today my family was having a conversation about random things. we're all adhd so it was very random.

and I said something about a neopronoun and after explaining what it is (they didn't know) to the best of my power, they asked "Hey, what are your pronouns?"

so I...

*drumroll*

 

started at them in silence until they moved on.

so ummm that's not working out any time soon.

I kind of just froze and decided I'm not telling them yet, but did not unfreeze enough to think of how to dodge the question.

the best I could do is when they started talking to each other ("Why isn't he answering?") I pretended to get distracted and said "Huh? sorry wasn't listening"

 

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

 

oh and I did shave my legs yesterday. It feels nice.

You consider yourself an ally

And you listen to Albert Mohler regularly 

The same Albert Mohler who’s rap sheet includes but is not limited to
1: Decrying a memorial for a trans activist
2: Saying in regard to trans folks, “we cannot affirm someone in a delusion”
3: Opposing the repealing of the “don’t ask, don’t tell policy” which banned openly queer Americans from the military
4: Opposing birth control for women 
5: Proclaiming that married couples who choose not to have children are rebelling against God’s order
6: Being so thoroughly opposed to gay marriage that he signed the Manhattan Declaration, a document calling Christians to fight against queer and reproductive rights among other things. The Catholic Church had a significant hand in writing the Manhattan Declaration, and so emphatic was his opposition to queer/reproductive rights that he signed on despite believing the Catholic Church to be “a false church” and that accepting their doctrine would be to “compromise Biblical truth”
7: Proclaiming that Muslims are motivated by demonic power
8: Supporting America converting the people of Iraq to Christianity in the style of old colonial powers

I know there’s a policy against politics
I respect that
I would argue that this isn’t politics
Politics is discussing where to send foreign aid
Politics is discussing to what degree regulations should be implemented on the private sector
Politics is debating big vs small government 

This is not politics 
The ability of two consenting adults to marry and choose whether or not to have children is not politics

regardless, I continue to listen to him because he provides a christian perspective that isn’t openly hateful as most others, for the same reason I used to watch MSNBC. There aren’t exactly a lot of moderate right wing podcasts that I know of.

i want to see both sides of an issue, even if I do not agree with him on all these things you have listed

Well, I don't really belong in this thread but I stumbled upon it for some reason that I can't remember so I will say something.

 

Yes, all of those things are human rights.

Yes, that Mohler person is completely messed up.

But @Verdance is clearly an ally and definitely has a reason to listen to him. Besides, you do need to know both sides of an issue sometimes, even if one side is morally wrong.

Now maybe everyone should stop arguing, for moderator related reasons.

The mods will interpret the rules as they decide. Until then, I'm going to address the one outstanding thing here. Let's use an example:

Perhaps you've heard of JK Rowling, the author of the hit series Harry Potter. Perhaps you know that she has allegations of transphobia against her. But do you know what specifically?

Spoiler

Perhaps this could raise a few red flags?

Quote

Rowling published an over 3,600-word essay on her website about why she had spoken out on "sex and gender issues." In it, Rowling said she is "worried about the new trans activism" and "the huge explosion in young women wishing to transition and also about the increasing numbers who seem to be detransitioning."

Or perhaps this?

Quote

After Rowling received the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Ripple of Hope Award in 2019, the human rights group's president released a statement the following year expressing "profound disappointment" that the author "has chosen to use her remarkable gifts to create a narrative that diminishes the identity of trans and nonbinary people."

Or perhaps this?

Quote

Rowling published a new novel titled "Troubled Blood" under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith. The book, which revolved around a male serial killer who dresses like a woman, was accused of being anti-trans.

It was disappointing that Rowling was propagating a "long-standing and hurtful presentation of trans women as a threat," a spokesperson for Mermaids, a charity that supports trans children, said to CNN. Rowling, meanwhile, said the book "was loosely based" on real killers.

Or perhaps this?

Quote

In May 2025, Rowling announced the launch of the J.K. Rowling Women's Fund, which "offers legal funding support to individuals and organizations fighting to retain women’s sex-based rights in the workplace, in public life and in protected female spaces," the fund's website said. Rowling is helming the fund with her own money (an unsurprising fact given that Forbes estimates her net worth at over $1 billion).

But controversy surrounds the fund, as many believe it is a "euphemism for the anti-trans' advocacy to which she has devoted herself and, seemingly, every waking hour of her life," said LGBTQ+ news outlet Them. This is also not the "first time that one of Rowling's organizations has made the exclusion of trans people a core part of its mission," as the outlet noted that Beira's Place,  a crisis center founded by Rowling in 2022, does "not hire or provide services to trans women."

(There's a whole lot more, but essentially she falls under the category of Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists)

(Also fun fact a bunch of her book characters' names are literally stolen from the cemetery nearby where the series was written)

As you can probably tell by the example, there's a lot of kinda... bad stuff here. Perhaps worse than just the term "transphobia" can describe. Now consider this: When you're buying a Harry Potter book, guess who's getting paid? 

Now I'm not telling you to stop reading Harry Potter or whatever, you can make your own decisions, but I do really think that it is important to realize that the full picture is much more than meets the eye, and that you have to be mindful of who you choose to support.

Verdance, I don't think anyone is forcing you to stop listening to whatever you want to listen to, or doing whatever you want to do. And no one would leverage the label "ally" against you in order to manipulate you into doing something. But Spartan has a right to be concerned here. You can say one thing, but if you're supporting someone who is known for doing terrible things within the LGBTQ community, you're not really helping. So just be mindful.

Yea, as a trans person in the UK, JK Rowling is a big concern. Legislation was recently passed saying everyone has to use the public bathrooms of their AGAB; the main pressure group pushing for this received over a quarter of their funding from JK Rowling. On a more personal level, she's essentially the reason my parents are ... as they are in regards to trans issues. They, like a whole load of other people, first encountered the whole thing through reading what JK Rowling had to say about it, as a profiling public figure, so it gets fixed in people's minds as the first thing they learn and it gives a whole massive platform for transphobes to air their views. It's been ... interesting.

She keeps getting more and more popular and then the money goes to fund support for anti-trans legislation and it's all kind of complicated. One of my autistic trans friends has a long-term special interest in Harry Potter and has a really complicated relationship with it as a result. 

Supporting LGBTQ+ people is great! Thank you for being better than, like, 50% of the population, genuinely. No one's going to stop you doing what you want to do, and no one's trying to "convert" you or try and crush all the joy out of living. It can be good to learn about the different effects of hobbies, though, but if we stopped everything that contributed to climate change (for example), we'd have to stop respiring. It can just be good to learn, though.

Hmmm. I am guilty of being TERF up until essentially this year, and so i am trying to hard reverse, but at the same time, I am not about to not enjoy books written by people who were antitrans. Our art supercedes us, and I definitely do not support Mohler in nearly every way, I certainly don’t recommend him, I just teeter on the knife edge. 

Narnia, Ender’s Game, Harry Potter. All worth your time, and available at a local library for free :3

thank you for your grace and kindness. I will continue to try and grow in openness.
