Daan on homophobia

[mushroom slice]

Do you ever trip out and think about how we are all the same thing? The textures of reality?
The dharmapadda says we are the result of everything we have ever thought.
Our experience in our life in space time in the world of matter is a lesson  on how to create. How to become god.it’s a hard lesson and takes many lives. Reincarnation isn’t about our singular lives it’s about how we learn to create. We are all the same thing. Reincarnated  in different bodies at different points in space time but the same thing. When you forget this you have found the boundaries of your existence. Before your memory there is nothing. A blank slate. The void

The problem is sadly that if you're cis & straight your life is constructed to annihilate us. If you are cis & straight you are a homophobe, a transphobe, etc. It does not make a difference if you agree. It does not make a difference if you express it in private or in public. You are a proponent of the world that wants us dead, regardless of how you conduct your life. Yes it is bleak. But for us, it's the base-level of life. If we could change it, we would. But that power does not lie in our hands. It is up to you to be an anti-homophobe, an anti-transphobe, or to be what this world determines you to be.

Can you explain yourself further? Because this shit reads like Highlander but with sexual orientations, some real “us vs them” vibes. There can only be one!

I personally don’t get down with that mentality as a gay dude. Say for instance a straight dude is dating a trans chick. They’re a straight couple. Why would you think they want to murder you? Not to mention the straight Supreme court justices and straight allies who voted in favor of legalizing gay marriage and the straight allies who made it all possible. We wouldn’t be anywhere without them. It’s like you don’t believe straight people are capable of empathy. Sorry you feel like this, it must be a sad outlook on life 

I believe what Nicky is saying is that it is not enough to not be homophobic or transphobic. Allyship is not just voting for the legalization of gay marriage. It’s not being pro toleration, for lack of a better word. It’s being anti homophobic/transphobic.

Trans people, for instance, have a life expectancy of about 30 years. That’s due to a lot of factors, but I’d really imagine it comes down to coming out as trans puts a fucking target on your back.

I was struggling to understand what Nicky said, but knew Allen will chime in so I wasn’t worried

Ah, okay, that’s understandable. Thank you for the clarification! I know a couple trans people, I noticed their happiness/success is based on how well they blend in the general population. What a hard way to go through life

Thanks for the response.

Is he still on AH? He doesn't have a board in the spring 22 drop.

He's probably still on, it doesn't make sense to me that they would wait this long after his meme debacle to cut him. He probably got passed up on this drop and will get 2 in the next one or some shit.

[SchizophrenicFatBoy]

Damn, I wish I saw this thread before, so I wouldn't have bought his Nike colorway. Those shoes were tight around the toes and gave me heel slip.

When all the "is ___ still alive?" threads were clogging the front page i was gonna make one about SLAP in general, and reference the absence/banning of many veteran PALs along with the low effort threads. Nice to see @GAY is still alive, but I won't hold my breath on him becoming active on here again. An unbanning/return of @cheetahsheets would shake things up though. Why did he get banned?
