Yes but how do you find the square root?
Wat?
What are they even talking about? How does “wearing pink” signify (or signal or advertise or promote or nudge or push) creating a more inclusive and diverse world? How does it at the same time stand in solidarity with the 2SLGBTQIAZMDJRVTPXMKLQ+ communities?
This time it’s not so much enraging as sick-making. It’s so smarmy, so creepy, so damp hand in yours and soft voice telling you you are loved when all you want to do is fling the hand off and run away as fast as you can go.
I hope all the students and teachers wear green and black and yellow and sky blue and not one speck of pink.
Why this peculiar assumption that if you advertise who you (and your beliefs) are, that is who you are?
Because all their brains have turned to cold potato SOUP.
I googled because the “2S” was new to me…
Good lord, it’s for Two-Spirit.
So, the Wikipedia page on “Two-Spirit” is pretty bloody enlightening, in the sense that it’s taught me that any non-Native American who uses it should probably just be smacked across the back of the head.
First, it’s a term of artifice–no one ever used it before 1990, and even then, it was first coined in English at a conference, largely to try to draw a line between Native-culture lesbians and gays and those from white society.
Second, it’s not even accepted fully by Native Americans, in no small part because it pretty much tries to force the modern “LGBTQ+” rigamarole onto a society that doesn’t need it, and in the process erases a lot of distinction between Native tribes (because it was specifically created as a Pan-Native umbrella term).
And third, among those who DO accept its use, a bunch of white folks peddling it as part of their online t-shirt grift is going to be a pretty solid demo of cultural appropriation. These morons can’t even do “woke” properly, for nonexistentChrist’s sake!
