To some people acceptance of queer people is contingent on the idea that we were born this way. That our existence must be tolerated because we didn’t choose to be this way.
Others on the other hand can’t accept us for who we are and think that we must have chosen to be this way, and because no one should ever choose to live as queer we must be by definition bad people.
But both of those points of view presuppose the idea that if someone were to choose to live queer it would be bad. Which is something I wholeheartedly reject.
I don’t know if I was always a trans woman. I don’t know if I actually became a trans woman as a sum of all of my lived experiences. It doesn’t matter. Being a trans woman is good. My being a trans woman should not be contingent on me being a victim of circumstance. Being a trans woman is cool as hell.
Advantages of using an “AI” browser: you can press a button to generate a summery of the website you’re looking at, which will be full of errors and misrepresent the source by focusing on the wrong thing.
Disadvantages of using an “AI” browser: if you summarize the wrong website all your private information and money will be stolen. This can be done even on trustworthy sites by someone posting a comment underneath a useful post with the malicious text in it.
This dinosaur skeleton is incomplete. But, it doesn’t look that way to us, because the parts it’s missing are parts we don’t have.
See how there are ribs on the bottom? Those are called gastralia. That’s right, dinosaurs had ribs on their stomachs as well, and modern crocodiles and alligators still have them! (Also, notice that the ribs keep going to the hips instead of stopping above the waist. This is also true of modern birds, and why a bird can’t have a concave stomach!)
Next, notice that ring floating in the center of the eye socket? That’s called a sclerotic ring! Fish, reptiles, birds–with the exception of mammals (and, oddly enough, crocodilians), pretty much all modern vertebrates still have them! It’s literally an eyeball bone. Afaik we haven’t found a T-rex specimen with any intact, but since we’ve found them in other dinosaurs, it’s very likely they had them too.
So, keep that in mind next time you see a dinosaur skeleton.
I’m glad people are as excited as I was to learn about the Secret Dinosaur Bones
There are dinosaur bones that the government won’t tell you about
