Also Mustelids, because Mustelids are hella cute and who can blame nature for wanting to create more cute things?!
Yeah, it's a means to an end: Right-wing propaganda.
For those who want some context: Theosophy has always been a huge part of the New Age movement and the founder of Theosophy, Madame Blavatsky, was a white supremacist. She taught her followers about a "Great White Brotherhood" (aka The Masters) who were racially superior to others. She was also convinced of the existence of superior "root races" (one of them being the Aryans) and various "sub-races"...
Unsurprisingly Theosophy would (for example) merge with the Völkisch movement in Germany (the precursor of the nazi party).
Theosophy with its belief in a secret underground realms, ancient high cultures, lost continents, superior alien races and so on and so forth, was one of the big influences on the late 20th century New Age movement.
Ah, well, better skip "Strange Days", "12 Monkeys" and "Gattaca" then...
June 12th:
"I am pleased to confirm the 6th round of Iran US talks will be held in Muscat this Sunday the 15th," Bad Albusaidi, the country's foreign minister said on social media.
Israel struck Iran later the same day.
So why should Iran have any reason to believe that "talks" will stop Israel and the US?
Bundesbeamtengesetz § 63
(1) Beamtinnen und Beamte tragen für die Rechtmäßigkeit ihrer dienstlichen Handlungen die volle persönliche Verantwortung.
(2) Bedenken gegen die Rechtmäßigkeit dienstlicher Anordnungen haben Beamtinnen und Beamte unverzüglich bei der oder dem unmittelbaren Vorgesetzten geltend zu machen. Wird die Anordnung aufrechterhalten, haben sie sich, wenn ihre Bedenken gegen deren Rechtmäßigkeit fortbestehen, an die nächsthöhere Vorgesetzte oder den nächsthöheren Vorgesetzten zu wenden. Wird die Anordnung bestätigt, müssen die Beamtinnen und Beamten sie ausführen und sind von der eigenen Verantwortung befreit. Dies gilt nicht, wenn das aufgetragene Verhalten die Würde des Menschen verletzt oder strafbar oder ordnungswidrig ist und die Strafbarkeit oder Ordnungswidrigkeit für die Beamtinnen und Beamten erkennbar ist. Die Bestätigung hat auf Verlangen schriftlich zu erfolgen.
Um das, was Jagermo schreibt, zu bestätigen: Du solltest wirklich bei einer Gewerkschaft sein, weil die Dir - vor allem auch - Rechtsschutz geben kann.
Die Gewerkschaften haben Anwälte an der Hand, deren einzige Aufgabe es ist Angestellten wir Dir beizustehen und Arbeitgeber wie Deinem die Hölle heiß zu machen. Auf deren Unterstützung zurückgreifen zu können, falls es hart-auf-hart kommt, macht einen großen Unterschied. Davon mal abgesehen, dass Du Dich dort auch beraten lassen kannst und überhaupt Leute findest, mit denen Du über sowas reden kannst.
A part of the answer is that a lot of gaming companies started out as a bunch of dudes in a basement who put a game together. Fast forward a few years and the same dudes are suddenly heads of big multi-million companies with dozens of employees, while they never had to learn anything about management. It's pretty disillusioning how many upper managers in the gaming industry are just "vibing" their way through it all.
I don't know where I heard this, but it's a lesson I have taken in: Nature does not strive for perfection, all it requires is a "good enough".
And that may very well be one of the reasons why so many people (the worst kind of atheists and christian supremacists among them) are challenged by the existence of queer people: They consider humans to be the pinnacle of creation/evolution and the messy reality of queer people's existence undermines the core of their beliefs. Yet humans are flawed, inherently messy creatures and in that messiness grow strange, often beautiful flowers.
It's not just pride marches in the US. US companies are backing out of pride events all over the globe. And then there are all the non-US companies who laid down and rolled over the moment Trump threatened to block them from making deals with the US government. So even pride events outside of the US are struggling because of Trump and his goons.
How gender dysphoria manifests differs from individual to individual, people experience it in different way, particularly in regards to what someone struggles with: Someone may feel more dysphoric in regards to their face; others in regards to their chest;... And yeah, yearning for different genitals is definitely something that meets the criteria for gender dysphoria.
Does that make you trans, nonbinary, something else? That's something nobody can tell you, because we do not know how strong your feelings are, how much they define you and what you make out of them. That's why the trans community usually avoids telling other people if they are trans or not - or deny anyone that label who claims it.
If you wish to be trans nonbinary, then you are. If you think, these terms do not fit you, then you are not.
Personally I struggled with similar feelings when I was younger. Fast forward and I am now fully transitioning, because I realized it was "not just that." I wanted it all. But that's my way to deal with my feelings. You may chose whatever path suits you and on that path you can try out what this thing or that and cast them off again if they do not feel right. It's a journey of self-discovery and - for better or worse - it's all up to you to discover.
