it’s not tearing people down, it’s usually someone unintentionally doing something hurtful when they mean to try to help someone.
read the first section of this, it explains the issue (the egg prime directive) well: https://genderdysphoria.fyi/en/am-i-trans
Eggs and hatched eggs post memes about being an egg or questioning their own gender. Other people seeing the memes may or may not relate.
The issue is in telling someone they are trans. Read this if you’re really interested, the first section is about the egg prime directive and explains this concept and why it’s important really well: https://genderdysphoria.fyi/en/am-i-trans
An egg is a term in the LGBTQ community for someone who is exploring their gender or is in denial of it. When an egg cracks/hatches, a trans person has accepted who they really are. Calling someone an egg is telling them they’re trans, and is not something anyone should dictate about someone else.
It’s not a slur, the point is that you don’t get to dictate someone else’s personal journey. Instead we tell our stories, and if that helps someone relate, it’s because our story resonates with their story.
I wonder how much of this is the fault of food delivery apps. I've heard multiple people who run a small restaurant or food cart complaining that those apps as part of their terms/contract wouldn't let you price up your menu items in-app to cover the % cut they take. during pandemic when app orders become the majority of your business, it makes sense to price up the items to include uber's cut across the board and just incorporate it into your cost model.
oh hell, normally i do this in every rpg to see if it has an effect, never did it for this game and now i have to
oh my god this is brilliant. what if that’s the traveler’s whole secret purpose after all: he’s always been a Q that recruits people into the continuum in a much different way than our Q tries to?

after paying them, they will no longer work at this post office or be involved at all or get any of the profit, and instead you will do all of those things (presumably as a team with your husband, according to the ad).
it’s like buying a fast food franchise.
i’ve had the testflight build since early on, but haven’t paid much attention to this app because i can’t get the post-list ui to look the way i prefer in other apps. 😅
my community doesn’t need much moderation either, which means if i don’t check the website often enough i’ll completely miss a few reports because there haven’t been any in a month and my instance admin has to be annoyed by them.
oh i didn’t think to look in the communities list, sorry. my mod queue is empty currently, how does the app show you there’s an unhandled report? I’d kind of expect them to show up in inbox tab, but it seems i have to go through the posts tab -> community list -> mod zone dance to get to them? is there a notification count on the posts tab too for reports to hint to me that there’s something there?
Also it might be nice to mention mod tools in the app description because most lemmy apps are still lacking them.
you really can’t beat mighty+, i’ve been using mighty/crafty exclusively for about 8 years and im constantly disappointed by every other dry flower vape i’ve ever tried in comparison
Hey everyone.
I've been a little swamped in my personal life lately, and when I checked in this week it I've seen a few things that worry me.
Some of you may know that this community is one of the ones that replaced an old subreddit after the api stuff. There were some rules there that aren't so explicit here in our rules. I'll be working on rewriting the rules in our sidebar soon, but I want to make a few rules clear:
- This community exists to support people questioning their gender. Be kind and respectful if you're going to comment. I've seen some mean, hurtful, or angry comments posted here in the last little bit. Don't bring that energy here, a lot of people come here to get away from hurtfulness. We will remove comments and dm you privately.
- IT IS NEVER OKAY TO CRACK SOMEONE ELSE'S EGG. Many of you have likely seen the post that inspired this rule clarification and this whole post. I won't link it here, but this isn't just an egg irl rule. genderdysphoria.fyi calls it "The Egg Prime Directive". People need to find and define their own journey. We can tell our own stories, but we cannot dictate the stories of others. This is obviously a zero-tolerance rule, and is definitely ban-worthy. Absolutely not allowed here.
- Do not invalidate other people's experiences. I've seen this in at least one post, something along the lines of "i don't think this necessarily means anything about gender". Here's i'd like to refer to the rule #1 of !adhd@lemmy.dbzer0.com: (Rule 1). Basically the entirety of this post applies; there are some aspects of questioning your gender that may seem mundane to an outsider. This does not mean that the person who posted this experiences it in the same way as you. And, for some of us, things that felt mundane to us before too took on a whole new and deeper meaning as we found our way on our journeys.
- We still have a title rule. Please follow it. This is a tradition of egg irl from the reddit days. We could at some point reconsider this rule, but I still believe it is a good one as I summarized in a post here. This one I'm more lenient on. If you break it, I will post in your thread and politely ask you to edit your title, and either forcibly rename it or just remove it only if the author doesn't fix it. In the future, I would like to even automate this part with a bot.
As I said, I will be working on a more official stickied rules post, and updating our sidebar rules to reflect as well, but I felt it important to post these for now. I owe understanding of myself to the original egg irl and I want this to be similarly helpful for other eggs.
All of that said, I'd also like some mod help here. A few things I'd want from potential mods:
- you have a local lemmy.blahaj.zone account.
- under that account you have a history of posting here / other lgbtq+ communities positively
- that if you become a mod, you also make sure to get set up with matrix so you can be in the blahaj.zone matrix's mod chat channel along with me.
- i'd also prefer cracked eggs only; the mods here should consider themselves protective roosters & mother hens, nurturing and guarding our precious lil eggs <3
Please post here if you'd like to be considered, I will be choosing a couple of mods carefully.
The first pre-alpha for this really fun upcoming RTS ends today, but second wave of pre-alpha starts on january 5th, during which time the community will be allowed to stream the game.
You can still get into the alpha / beta waves by backing now on https://zerospace.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders
fun fact: when typing the title of this post, my autocorrect tried to tell me i meant to say “real auto shop” when i said relationship, but honestly that would also probably appl
Purpose
This community serves to highlight toxic heteronormativity. This isn't "LGBTQ people hating on straight people", this is "(some) straight people post/say these things and we don't understand why they're celebrating this? this is creepy."
This was formed because when I switched to Lemmy, I missed r/AreTheStraightsOK from reddit.
Examples of content to post here:
- memes about "lol i hate my wife amirite whos with me fellas"
- memes about "haha you can't be happy because you're married, and as a married person myself, i can assure you that we're all trapped in these relationships, LMAO"
- pictures of "omg look at this! my toddler is so hilarious! I've put him in a onesie that says 'mothers, lock up your daughters!' or talking about SUCKING ON TITTIES, or whatever other way i'm putting WHOLESOME sexual content on my baby. BTW did you know that gay people are sexualizing our children BY MERELY EXISTING?"
- etc. any sort of "haha this is funny b/c this is 'normal' for straight people, even if its incredibly fucked up"
Rules
- Despite the name, this is not an anti-hetero community; "The Straights" in the name is short for "people with confusing, creepy, and unhealthy heteronormative ideas who think it's funny to post those awful opinions". This means:
- This is EXPLICITLY NOT a Heterophobic or Hetero-hate sub.
- Heterosexual people ARE EXPLICITLY WELCOME HERE. Plenty of straight people find toxic heteronormativity disgusting as well, and they are absolutely a valid part of this community.
- It's toxic heteronormativity that we are against, not heterosexual people in general.
- Be nice and respectful, OR ELSE. This means:
- any hateful content will be removed.
- any personal attacks will be removed.
- any kind of disrespect towards another poster will be removed.
- this is a zero-tolerance policy.
- intellectual discussion is OK, but this is not the place to defend toxic heteronormativity. "This is normal because we ALL do this" is almost guaranteed to be an unwelcome statement here.
I'll add more rules if needs be, but if the above isn't common sense to you, that's the first sign you don't belong in this community.
!bi_irl@lemmy.blahaj.zone
All who are attracted to more than one gender are welcome, as are their allies.
!are_the_straights_ok@lemmy.blahaj.zone
This was one of my favorite subreddits, and I want to see it survive on lemmy.
Community for posting & making fun of memes/boomer-comics made by cishet people about how it's awful to be in relationship, or have children, or whatever else, also putting inappropriate clothing on children.
Post your "lol ball & chain" "my home boss" "haha i murdered my partner lol because im so frustrated over dishes lmao" memes here, as well as your garden-variety "toddler wearing a 'mothers, hide your daughters' onesie" or "" cishet behavior.
wtf is wrong with straight people "joking" about hating their happy married lives?
I complained this community doesn't exist here, people told me to make it, so i did.
