Forestal | I can't disagree with your first statement. But to approach on cat feet? No. | |
The Whispering Trees of Murmuria | I suppose anything is possible, including that. | |
Forestal | Interesting. I'd not read of this one, but am familiar with the concept. Sci-fi don't ya know. ;) Despite being of an older generation and having grown up understanding it as a derogatory, I rather like the word queer these days for reasons that have nothing to do with the slang definition when I was young (i.e., largely for simplicity's sake), though either is fine imo.

The Most Serene Eco-Republic of Middle Barael | I think LGBT refers more to the four most well known groups, (lesbian, gay, bi, and trans), while queer refers more to the spectrum. Thus, those who fit easily into any of the main groups would likely prefer LGBT, while those who are more “fluid” or “in between” would prefer queer. Ultimately, just go by what the individual prefers, although I think the best term in general is LGBTQ+, which includes the four main groups, queer, and more. Some use LGBTQIA+, but I think this just confuses much of the general population, as many do not know what the I and the A are for (asexual and intersex, respectively).

Myordas | Nah, coronavirus is such a hassle but thats okay. I'm highly contented with just a slow internet and a 2GB RAM computer running on Win7. If coronavirus just never happened, I might looking for a new crush now (I want a foreigner because I like having cultural contacts with other country's people.). My country's coronavirus cases reach over 50,000 cases with 14,000 recoveries and 1,372 deaths. I think my country is doing bad this pandemic despite our country produces good nurses abroad.

The Federated Bailiwicks of Verdant Haven | Government Post The official Forest Crystal Jubilee Flag Contest has begun! For our upcoming 15th anniversary, we will be flying a special jubilee flag, designed by one of you! Here's the dispatch: 12 July 2020 Greetings, citizens of Forest, and of our allied regions! In just a few weeks, Forest will be celebrating its 15th birthday. It was in the first week of August 2005 when our original founder Devdan first established a place for us all amongst the trees. Devdan predates any of our current members, and vanished completely by the end of 2005, but early 2006 saw Errinundera and several other Forest luminaries already present here in the grounds we now call home. Errin would go on to become the region’s first WA delegate, and it wasn’t long until Ransium arrived on the scene. After struggling with identity and defense, common problems for any small founderless region, a re-founding was conducted with Errin as our new Founder, and Ransium soon became our WA delegate – a position continued to this day. In the time since its founding, a length of time that is truly remarkable by the standards of an internet game or community, Forest has grown from a small region of a couple dozen nations to a widely-recognized and commended region of several hundred players, with a distinctive personality and a respected voice at the table of the gaming community. We are going strong, and together we can make the celebration of this, our Crystal Jubilee, a warming, welcoming, and informative occasion for our citizens and allies. While the majority of the jubilee commemoration is being developed and will be unveiled as we reach the appropriate time, the first of our Crystal Jubilee events is here – in fact, it is starting today! Forest’s Crystal Jubilee Flag Contest To commemorate Forest’s 15th anniversary, we will fly a special jubilee flag on our homepage for the duration of the celebration. In accordance with our tradition, this flag will be designed via a contest, with the winner voted upon by you, our citizens! Contest rules: 1) The contest shall run for approximately two weeks, from the time of this announcement until 11:59pm Pacific Time on Sunday, July 26 (0659 GMT, July 27) 2) Submissions may be made either by A) posting in the relevant thread in our offsite forums (https://forest.freeflarum.com/d/184-forests-crystal-jubilee-flag-contest, or B) via direct telegram to me, Verdant Haven, and I will post them on your behalf. 3) A vote will be held following to determine winner shortly after the completion of the submission period. Should a design receive a majority of the votes in the first round, it shall be declared the winner. If no flag receives a majority in the first round, a run-off shall be held between the two submissions receiving the most votes. 4) The proportions of the submitted design must be a 3:2 ratio, width to height. Contestants should be aware that the final display image will be no larger than 300x200, and voting will be based off an image no greater than that size. 5) The design contest is open to all residents of Forest and of our Embassy regions 6) Voting will be open to all Native Residents of Forest (those who reside here and have more influence here than in any other region). 7) All designs are subject to approval by the Crystal Jubilee committee prior to inclusion in the vote. Please refrain from anything that might be considered inappropriate or offensive. I look forward to seeing the designs! Verdant Haven The information is also available from our forum, where submissions may be made: https://forest.freeflarum.com/d/184-forests-crystal-jubilee-flag-contest Ambassadors, please feel free to distribute this to your regions as appropriate. The contest is open to residents of both Forest and our ally regions. Verdant Haven | |
The Intensive Care Unit of Candlewhisper Archive | I'd note again that gender ans sexuality can't really be conflated, but I guess what you're describing there is genderfluid. But then the whole binary gender notion feels like a construct anyway, as does arbitrary sexuality. If I've been attracted to a woman before she physically transitioned from the male body she was born with, what does that make my sexuality? If I prefer to rp female characters, and prefer adult entertainment where I can imagine I'm a lesbian, what does that mean? What if half the time in my dreams I'm a woman? What if there's straight men that I'd kiss, but I've only ever lived women? I feel comfortable in a male role with a female wife, but that doesn't categorise me as cis straight male, and not fitting that exactly doesn't categorise me as anything else. I'm just me!

The american forest | Sure | |
The Confederacy of Kawastyselir | I've been derogatorily called queer in the past by an older woman, although granted she had a bad case of dementia. But it's clear her filter was gone and the slur came from a time when LGBT+ people were seen in a much worse light. It also doesn't sit well with me that the term is synonymous with "weird." If we're talking about the larger goal of normalizing LGBT+ culture, I would personally use a different term.

The Rewilding of Ruinenlust | I agree with you. My first remembered exposure to the word "queer" was in Lord of the Rings, where J.R.R. Tolkien uses it in the old sense of "odd" or "unsettling" or "weird," and for a couple of years I thought of the word in that sense only, until I became aware at some point that it also referred to non-straight people, and not often in a good sense. I've never thought of myself as "queer," but if the word were rehabilitated, so to speak, it might be fine. It's just not how I personally think of myself.

The Sylvan Hivə of Turbeaux | To be honest, it will take you a while to meet the influence requirement to get on it. However, you can accumulate influence far more quickly if you join the World Assembly, so that is something you should consider doing!

The Taiga Folk of Northern Wood | It's fine to join the WA. Folks do so love to act like it ruins their nations by manhandling their stats. In the end, the changes are barely noticeable. And the benefits it brings to both the player and the region are substantial.

Cameroi | one CAN be decisively impartial. i recall someone told to "get off the fence", responding they liked the fence how it felt. what i see as being a problem is people who feel it is somehow any of their concern what someone else does or does not feel sexually attracted to. | |

I totally get that. I think I have aspects of that myself, though equally I also consider my partners satisfaction to be important, which can be a tricky balancing act. If it were down to just me I could quite happily never have sex, but I am capable of enjoying it so will engage in it for the pleasure of someone I care about.

The Most Serene Eco-Republic of Middle Barael | Nice plug. In case you all do not know, The Young Ur is our new representative to our newest embassy region, Thalassia. I will also use this as a opportunity to make my own plug: Please consider volunteering as an ambassador!
