Let's not forget there's good news in the colorful, diverse, awesome, queer world

I have more good news from the blazing summer heat of Arizona, and this time it's from the heart of MAGA country in the middle of the state. Yesterday I drove for over an hour to a rural town that has suffered the booms and busts of the copper industry over the past 50 years, leaving the historic downtown area as somewhat of a ghost town that has now been taken over by artists. I wanted to see a hot band of Apache rockers play at a free concert in a shady park.

It was still over 100 degrees F when the party started at 7 PM, but the shade and the enthusiasm of the band immediately had people dancing anyway, with both traditional hetero couples (including men in cowboy hats) mixed in with lesbian couples. It was so cool to be there and experience this.

Down the street, there was an "open mic" event with an amazing diversity of expression taking place, including a middle-aged poet/philosopher backed up with a band of young people in their late teens and early 20s.

Local action matters. Diverse voices need spaces to gather and express. These folks took over the abandoned old buildings that had been abruptly abandoned by resource-exploiting corporations, and created a scene for diverse expression.
 
Interesting article from Transadvocate with in depth analysis that counters the XX/XY binary bullshit bleated by the right.

I'm no biologist and I think you'd need to be well qualified to follow all the detail provided.

"An elementary school education often simplifies the science of sex down to the notion that the presence or absence of a Y chromosome in a human body will determine sex because only men have bodies with Y chromosomes. In material reality, that’s not factual. Almost all women on the planet have bodies with Y chromosomes because most were born with Y chromosomes. Applying an elementary school understanding of sex, this means that most women on the planet are men because only men have Y chromosomes."

I searched out the article on this story and it was so affirming and wonderful! It is rare to find a company as supportive as the statement from Ann Summers.
I've been traveling for the past month and have had some amazingly awesome, all the way to not so good shopping experiences.
Thankful for the ones out there that get it 💜

It was a timely campaign because another well known high street store has courted controversy by apologising to a ‘traumatised’ customer when a member of staff who looked like she might be trans offered to help with a bra fitting 🙄

Yeah, I read of that one as well when I was searching out the Ann Summers story. Sadly in our place an time all it takes is a unfounded accusation of a transwoman being in the neighborhood to rile up the torches an pitchforks.....

One of the most important points made in this article is that government has no legitimate role in requiring scientists to deny what is being observed regularly among the whole diverse range of living species (including human animals).

The example given was Trump's Executive Order in which he attempted to decree that sexual function and its entire complex science of genetic expression (including both genetics and epigenetics) must conform to a strictly binary political definition rather than a factual assessment of the much more complex bimodal distribution observations that are described in the article.

This thread on Literotica is about "good news". The good news here is that nature regularly ignores the decrees of foolish and simple-minded politicians. History has demonstrated that nature determines truth, not transient human governments.
 
I don't need to re-run all the awful things happening all over the world right now, everyone is no doubt well aware.
Good news is needed now more than ever! As I try and focus on good news that particularly affects folk in the LGBTQ+ spectrum, it has been hard to find.
I'm sure much of the reason for that is based on news the media chooses to cover. And as is often pointed out, good news doesn't sell.....
So here is one item that I view as good news, a politician at least partly standing up for their LGBTQ child. It is a small corner of the world, but it's a start!

Thank you for reminding us that there are politicians who are courageous, too.
