Well, Cygan was wondering why there wasn't one, so I made it. I guess we can talk about queer stuff. :3

(*LGBTQ+ Solidarity huggles*)

Oh, and if you're wondering, non-queer folks are welcome too.

Pfffff what is this thing you call flexibility.

I have to do stretching exercises every day, and maybe I'll someday be able to sit with my legs completely straight without it hurting. sad

I didn't figure out how bad it was until I went kayaking for the first time a couple months ago. That was one terrible day.

It's not really that bad. I just need to remember to stretch out every day. And kayaking is pretty much the sole thing it prevents me from doing.

Not that great. But not too bad, either. I keep thinking about quitting my studies, since the job really doesn't feel like it's for me at all. But I've got nowhere else to go.

Also, it's soon winter, and I just hate winter.

But between those, daily dealing with dysphoria in various degrees, and my dog's death, there really isn't anything wrong. We have a class trip to a marine aquarium today, so this ought to be good. Also, all of the next week is a holiday, and I'll get enough time for both some peace and quiet along with visiting some relatives who don't hate my guts yet.

So today I tried a gyro for the first time. It was groot.

Can't do splits yet, but I'm getting there, one extra millimeter & degree at a time. I pretty much have to be able to do it if I want to do karate kicks perfectly, given my height.

And in news that has pissed me off immensely, Wonder Woman will not be bi in the new movie.

Also apparently most UK health care professionals have no clue how to deal with transgender patients.

News that is not doing my paranoia any favours.

[up][up]I'd be careful about bisexual erasure though. The way I read the article, the filmmakers have stated only that Wonder Woman will fall in love with a man in the movie and that there won't be any indications that she's bisexual. Which is not the same as her not being bisexual. Complaining that a bisexual character is falling in love with an opposite-sex person is like stating that you can't be bisexual and be in an opposite sex relationship.

To be fair, they haven't said she's straight, just that she'll be romantically entangled with a man. Still plenty of room for subtext.

But, yes, it is disappointing. Not surprising, but disappointing.

[nja]That is clickbait to the nth degree.

They didn't say Wonder Woman would be straight and they didn't say that Wonder Woman wouldn't be bi.

They said that Wonder Woman would have a male love interest.

Granted, it's a shame that she won't have a female love interest (and the fact that she has a love interest at all), but it isn't the same as not being bi, considering that bisexual includes women and men.

I mean, I'd prefer if she gave some level of acknowledgement that she likes women too, but I'm fine with her dating a man.

I got the article from Rabbit's Facebook, so I figured it should be posted here.
