An all welcoming place for Queer Memes of all varieties! Just laugh, be chill, and report anything you feel violates the rules.

Rule 1 — Be Chill. This means everything from just be respectful to no bigotry or discrimination of any kind. That crap will be crucified on sight.

Rule 2 — Naming Structure. Try to keep to the general 'Queer_Irl naming structure. Replacing queer with something you feel might be more appropriate is totally fine.

Rule 3 — I wrote this but got nothing. I'm sure I'll come up with something to stick here eventually.

Partnered with the Gaywave Discord Server — Check out more here.

Mostly agree especially about the "you can't compare gender and sex" part which people get wrong regularly and also in quite basic ways. Like "gender medicine" is a valid term in German somehow.

Gender can vanish if people stop recognising it[...]

I highly doubt that though. Since the concept of gender or at least some parts associated with it is based on facts resulting from biological differences there will be different expectations on what a person is like based on their sex. Because:

Men are stronger than women - on average - because of testosterone
Women live longer than men - on average
Woman have a better immune system than men - on average - because the gene(s) impacting that are on the X-chromosome
Women are capable of bearing offspring - with all the implications
Testosterone has an impact on someones behaviour

The world is a complex place an we need to simplify things. We do that with other groups too - what doesn't mean, there are people who (try to) dont't do that.

I think we should be open to each other and adjust our expectations about each other if necessary and maybe be a bit cool about stuff.

Before you get out the clubs: I'm no native speaker.

Men are stronger than women - on average - because of testosterone Serious question but is this due to testosterone or simply other factors? The body composition usually is quite different in men and women.

Women live longer than men - on average But does this have anything to do with hormones at all? I'd argue, that that might be more due to the lives people are living. Men are and have historically often been in more hazardous and unhealthy jobs or hobbies. And let's be real.. sometimes they're just plain stupid and might die because of that.
