@star@zenmaya the problem is that there is this much potential for arguing about what is included in FLINTA or not, at all. And in reality people will just assume wildly different things, e.g. like we witnessed at Datenspuren
@star@zenmaya Not if they identify as a man. If a person is a cis endo man, and gnc, they would not fall under FLINTA, strictly speaking. Whether that is the intention (of e.g. event organizers) would be a question worth asking. IMO it leads to the conclusion that FLINTA is not a very useful term to use.
@star@zenmaya sorry for being pedantic, but no – "Frau" is "woman" and "female" is "weiblich", those mean different things (even if they do coincide usually, in the gender binary) /lh
@star@zenmaya Yeah but, not everyone can do that at all times. And people are lazy. If they weren't, there wouldn't be questions what it means, all the time (even on the internet) ^^ /lh
@star@zenmaya It actually would not be the same acronym if translated into English, and it's not used in English either 😅 And how should one figure out what it might mean if one is not deeply into queer feminist terminology, even more so in a different language? I see people asking what "FLINTA" means all the time. So if it's used, I think it would be good to explain – for the audience it should address, for everyone it doesn't, for non (native) German speakers and to reduce ambiguity in general ^^ (Which is also one of the issues I have with the acronym)
HRT, Vent@Quz the thing is, there could come any kind of other reason in the future why it might not be a good time to start at that time. As it is for a lot of things, be it transitioning or relationships or ... Sometimes the best time is now, because there might not come a better suited time at all, or by the time it comes you might regret not having done it earlier.
Just keep that in mind in your considerations (which are completely valid, and in the end it's only up to you) :)
cw meta, ICE murderCan you all please stop and think for a minute and not post or boost into vulnerable people's timelines without CW about that woman being murdered by the fucking fascist terror squad??? I know it happened but it's still not something I can handle seeing or reading about in graphic detail as one of the first things after (half) waking up!
