[CW: Transphobic slur] Guy discovers he's pansexual, blames porn for giving him a "fetish"
(hexbear.net)
The paper that this is from is the product of a group headed by a self-described "pro-life feminist" and that has retweeted TERFs.
It always sucks when groups with legitimate criticisms of pornography (or anything) dip into bigoted, reactionary bullshit because it poisons whatever valid points they may have made.
Queer and neurodiverse identities had a range of socially acceptable positions across many societies until the last couple of hundred of years - thanks to the West.
The west literally put gay, trans and neurodiverse people in extermination camps.
Forced sterilisation of people with disabilities is still legal in much of Europe. You can look up the advocacy around the 2020 Spain ban for some awful stories.
I am very much aware of that. I am speaking of the present, I don't really care about what happened hundreds of years ago on this issue - and frankly people have a habit of being very rosy about those 'socially acceptable positions', they still far more often than not forced non-conformative individuals out to the fringes of society, or they provided a few acceptable boxes that one would still be shunned and scorned for acting outside of.
I am interested in liberation, not the expansion in the available amount of 'socially acceptable positions', I want the dissolution of the concept of a 'socially acceptable position'.
