I always took the Fempire in jest and had good humor about it. I never mistook dunking and posting for activism. To an extent I got to live the moralistic online social justice posting before it spread elsewhere in like 2014-2018 era and later started to fizzle out. I myself never got into the moralism of it but didn't see it as problematic back then. Now I do.

Imo the good novel thing was advancing trans rights in the mainstream, the bad things have been left behind for the most part. Rising stakes has forced things to evolve, that representation is much less important than material gains and access to transition and formal rights are pretty good too, even if insufficient.

I got to read a lot about many different social justice topics. I remember this user - like liltiger or something - who posted loads of effort threads with readings and I took many samplings. The brearth of exposure was good for later development even if nothing went hard-core into praxis, history or sociology or other theory.

The Queer Community(tm)(?) seems to have started using "amab" and "afab" entirely in the same way people uses "boy" and "girl" 100 years ago. It's the same gender binary. (Also, reference to the same person before.) ("Erm... What the sigma?" is a new quote the younguns are saying)

Lmao yes. People just want to make gender into a taxonomy.

Yeah that would be cool. I don't remember the theme names - Saturn Valley and Moonside perhaps - but if you can get it done it would be great.
