Tumblr, Otherkin, and Political Correctness Overkill

God I've grown up so much after making this thread. To think I could've gone the complete other radicalized route if I had read more into this kinda stuff in 2016 :/

Nowadays, I get that gender is a nebulous concept and that if u want to apply a personal label to it, that's totally fine. Gender has no boundaries, sex isn't even rooted in a binary as there are more than 2 chromosome combinations. Hell the Iroquois were stolen from so much on a political basis by our "founding fathers" but they shunned them for their near non-existant gender expressions and the fact that families were maternal focused rather than paternal.

Otherkin? I've read more into that (and even furries recently lol) and like... while I don't really understand I think that they have the right to live as they choose. As a subculture it goes back to Usenet and I think the history is sort of fascinating.

I apologize for anything I said on this thread back in the day.

The Iroquois have absorbed many other individuals from various peoples into their tribes as a result of warfare, adoption of captives, and by offering shelter to displaced peoples ...

What's said about the Iroquois sounds eerily similar what's said about America. The founding fathers also took from other political structures found in Europe too. It wasn't only one system.

Oh yeah ofc, not saying that they took only from the Iroquois bc if they did we’d have a much better system of government lol. They were basically anarcho-communist in a modern sense
