Cfp: Postdigital Feminisms: Platformed-Lives, Labour, Intimacies, and Activism
'Although the early twenty-first century fuelled #feminist-hopes that the Internet would revolutionise #women and #girls lives, #digital #platforms have not necessarily helped society to cast-off the shackles of patriarchy. A #cyberfeminist utopia has been replaced by digital #labour practices, both paid and unpaid, that remain acutely gendered. While networked #intimacies, desires, and #sexualities have proliferated, creating radical potential, they have also generated #bigbusiness for the #technology companies that mediatize and profit from forms of gender-based #violence and objectification...'

roughly kept the stats in my head but only 14 positive dating matches , 2 of which became relationships. the show had variety of #sexualities and #genders, i think almost everyone in the #lgbtq community was represented (aside from Asexuals).
straight people were very body judgemental - penis length and slim bodies were their primary concerns. While queer people were more body positive and far less judgemental on penis (a few size queens).

We asked a non-binary person to review the new JK Rowling book. They had a lot to say
If you thought JK Rowling’s previous book in her Cormoran Strike series was an unsubtle nod to anti-trans bigotry, the latest instalment really said: “Hold my beer.”

#Interactive #world #map of endless #gender #expression, from #PBS back in '15. "Worldwide, the sheer variety of gender expression is almost limitless. For all of recorded #history, thriving #cultures have recognized, revered, & integrated more than two genders."
"Terms such as #transgender & gay are strictly new constructs that assume: 1. that there are only two sexes (#male #female), 2. as many as two #sexualities (#gay #straight), & 3. only two genders (#man #woman)." https://www.pbs.org/independentlens/content/two-spirits_map-html/
