20:57 my 100% favorite fact about gay penguins is not just that they take in eggs, it’s that the percentage of penguins that naturally pair up with same-sex partners (completely independent of/before any eggs are involved) is almost identical to the average number of eggs that are abandoned or have the parents die annually.

[@gotmilk9843]

Okay, maybe I’m having an off moment, but what does this mean? Like, being gay means abandoning eggs? /genq

[@lethfuil]

​@@gotmilk9843 Uh, no. Eggs just get abandoned sometimes. One, or both, parents might have died, not found it again, weren't able to keep it etc. Gay penguin couples adopt those eggs (penguins are monogamous and both, male and female, breed the eggs and feed the peng...lets?). The number of eggs that end up being abandoned is pretty close to the number of gay penguin couples that adopt eggs.

It makes a lot of sense. That's basically my life.

As someone who literally wrote their master’s thesis on gay cowboys I can tell you it was one of those open secrets. The old west was mostly devoid of women so there was a lot of “mutual solace” as the history books label it. It was also common for there to be all male dances in the west where the “female” dancing partner would be designated by a white scarf tied around their arm. So it wasn’t necessarily accepting, but there was a a lot of “gay stuff” happening in the west. 🤠🏳️‍🌈

[@amylynn3821]

There were also cases like Charley Parkhust where women disguised themselves as men. They could have been seeking traditionally male roles or could have been transgender.

[@cathleenc6943]

I think it was also easier for some trans people to live as their true gender because clothes were bulkier and just no one would have questioned a person as much, right? In addition, people frequently moved out west to change their identities for other reasons, so gender would have been just as easy to change. I mean, obviously the hormones and the surgeries weren't available, but social transitioning would have been easier for most people, I think.

Here's a story related to my aromantic realization: In the game Stardew Valley, you can get married to 12 different people, but also, in a later update they added an option where you can get the shadow monster that lives in the sewers to move in with you platonically, to get the same bonuses.

2:00 (Regarding gay cowboys, TLDR they did exist, and John Wayne types are just fiction.) Kaz Rowe has a wonderful video about this. The truth is, being a cowboy was not glamorous, but it was also out of the eye of white cishet society. Both meant that the Wild West was filled with countless queer people, people of color, etc. Multiple trans people are documented, and were beloved in their communities!! All that history was erased by Hollywood. 50s American nostalgia (and post-war politics) rewrote a historically diverse subculture into nothing but white, hypermasculine nationalists. The real people of the Wild West, for the most part, looked nothing like John Wayne. Hope this provided some helpful details. In short, the Wild West was one of the safer places for queer people in US history. ❤

[@katanah3195]

The funny thing is that in a lot of places and times with huge toxic masculinity problems, a certain type of male homosexuality was absolutely treated as an open secret or only shameful for the bottom. It’s like homophobic toxic masculinity loops right back around into a sort of "Why would a buncha lads need girls around" and "oh, he's a man's man" homoeroticism. You don’t see quite the same thing with lesbians, because toxic feminity isn't really A Thing in that way, although the femme4femme stereotype of a "girls' girl" does exist and often flies under homophobes' radar as "admirable female friendship".

About wrinkled Pride flags: I’ve read somewhere that in some communities people leave their flags unironed on purpose because it shows that the person has been taking their flag to protests and Pride parades rather than just using it to decorate their living space.

people in the old west didn't really accept trans or gay people, people just didn't notice due to LGBT people hiding the fact they are LGBT, and because of individualism there was more privacy and autonomy for ones owns actions thus they could do what they want and hide as said before. also there was both a sense of communalism and individualism during the wild west, there was just a lot of individualism with examples of communalism being mutual aid societies. and you can even get political by saying that with more social security people have relied more off the government than off each other in a community.

[@OlyChickenGuy]

In reference to the dog owners who broke gender norms, I have a pink leash for one of my roosters, and I bought a pink tutu as a joke for a rooster I no longer have, and he LOVED it. Whenever I put Penn into his tutu, he'd get all sorts of excited then zoom around the yard like he was showing off the fact that he was wearing something while everyone else was naked. It started as a gag costume only to be used on Halloween, special events, or to help people see roosters as something other than "inherently mean"... but it turned into Penn's Manly-Man-Bro outfit, if one were to judge based on his behaviour while wearing it.

@@awkwardukulele6077 Haha, I can make that mental image even better. Penn was a dwarf. Specifically, he was a project Serama. Project = breeding with an end-goal, but that end-goal isn't quite achieved Serama = smallest breed of chicken in the world, almost wiped out by a hurricane, and many Americans have since taken up trying to save the breed by starting with the breeds that Seramas were made from, which is primarily the Chabo (AKA Japanese Bantam), which is a miniature chicken that was then bred to have dwarfism in order to make them, as I call them, "low rider chickens" due to their legs being about a quarter the length of a normal chicken. Penn looked slightly more Serama than Chabo, and his colouration was all black with a pale, sandy cape (feathers on the back of the neck from head to shoulders), and lemony feathers scattered over his back.

[@Mokiefraggle]

@@OlyChickenGuy Went looking for pictures of both types of chicken, and it makes this mental image absolutely brilliant and wonderful, because I'm now picturing this tiny black rooster with that upright-looking posture in all the pictures of the Serama variety, wearing a little pink tutu zooming around excitedly to make sure everyone sees his fancy outfit. Just this teeny tiny little feather-man, showing off his lovely ensemble.

I personally thought that the most hilarious thing in the world was when my mum got her two labradors (a boy and girl from the same litter) shimmery gradient pink-and-blue collars when they were still puppies, so that you couldn't just look at them and go "Oh, that's the boy, and that's the girl." You actually had to call them, which had the added effect of helping them learn to come when their name was called! It's a lot harder to mix them up now, since he's a big ol' tank, and she's a dainty little thing, but at the time it was kinda funny that you actually had to see who came when you called to tell who was who.

I’m sorry this is one of my favorite historical topics! The American west during the American Policy of Westward Expansion was INCREDIBLY gay, and trans. In addition to being very ethnically diverse.

5:10 Thank you for reminding me of this, a lot of times I go online and see so many negative comments, and especially on non-binary-focused things it can sometimes be ONLY negative comments on posts, and I wonder if I’m really just really some sort of freakish anomaly… Society definitely has a long way to go in terms of understanding and accepting queer people, and GNC people, but… I’m working on just living the way that feels best, and letting that show the people in my immediate circle that queer people come in all shapes and sizes.

6:15 As a bisexual man, this is extremely relatable. I came out to my mom around 6 weeks after my 18th birthday, and I showed her the man I'm in love with, and just a few weeks ago, she said that I'll eventually have to get a gf. I told her, "What makes you think I want that?" She replied with "or a bf if that's what you want." I had to hold in my laughter after that.

[@davidcheater4239]

Concerning learning about 'cowboys' from the movies. A lot of cowboys weren't white - virtually never seen in movies. Across the USA, estimates are that 25% of the cowboys were Afro-American and another 15% Hispanic/Native. Particularly during cattle drives, cowboys lived in a mainly male environment. On an official level, cowboy culture was homophobic (like the rest of society) but it was much less uniform than settled culture. Like other homosocial subcultures (prison, hobo, or navy) gay relationships happened - not always consensually. And to add, When I lived in Germany I traveled on the Cisalpine train. Guess they'll have to rename it the Normalalpine train. (The Cisalpine train goes around rather than through the alps.) And, your last question. Gay awakening with Fred Jones in Scooby Doo - original version. (Fun facts from the original series: Shaggy was a varsity athlete in acrobatics while Fred was in the Drama Club. It was later on that the characters got flattened into narrow stereotypes.)

15:10 Bible verse cited to "support" the idea that Satan made gays and transsexuals. Genesis Book 5, Verse 2 states: "Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created." Not only is there no reference ANYWHERE to Satan or gay people or transsexual people, but it's written really oddly here. Because it's talking about the creation of Adam. Nothing about Eve. But "male and female, created he them?" SEEMS to be saying that God created male and female, but also could be read that there are male and female deities who worked together to make Adam. Additionally, Adam seems to be nonbinary because "called THEIR name Adam... when THEY were created." So like... good Bibling, random church!

[@Desimere]

i think if someone said "trans women and normal women", i could think that it excludes cis neurodivergent women, cis queer women etc. Just specifically trans women and women who find themselves to be quite average in most aspects. I can't think of a context where it makes sense to say that, but it's theoretically possible, so i would have to consider it.

[@robertabarnhart6240]

My transphobic family refers to cis men and cis women as "natural men" and "natural women". I've tried to inform them that the accurate terminology is "cis" but I don't dare push too hard or I will start a fight.

[@rosiefay7283]

If someone said "trans women and normal women", that shows that they're *thinking* the right concept but using the wrong language. So the thing to do is to use the right word for the right concept: "women". Just as normal people do. ;-)
