A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
Alt Text: an image of Agent Smith from The Matrix with the following text superimposed, "1999 was described as being the peak of human civilization in 'The Matrix' and I laughed because that obviously wouldn't age well and then the next 25 years happened and I realized that yeah maybe the machines had a point."
unless you're queer. queerphobia was much more rampant back then.
Interestingly enough though, the directors of the matrix are two trans women
But while yes, queerphobia was worse in some ways, it was also not as bad in others. For example, trans people didn't have the massive organized targeted attack back then. In many ways, things have gotten worse in this aspect too
Question for the trans folk here: which time period was harder for you? Hostile ignorance or hostile attention?
It probably would depend on if they pass or not. If you fully pass 15-20 years ago probably was much easier in some regards.
