  • The star wars sequels were very poorly thought out and fans were disappointed and upset. The average person is not very good at analyzing the reasons for something like that, though, so a lot of them bought into the narrative that the Star Wars sequels were ruined by wokeness. That was undeniably part of a wave of reactionary sentiment which swept Trump into office. Whether Star Wars was a lynchpin of it or not, I’m not sure, but it’s plausible.

    I have it for multiple things. I don’t know if there is a term specifically for other senses.

    Aphantasia as a whole seems to not have a lot known about it yet.

    I like having a term to refer to female x female relationships specifically. Maybe in part because if I call myself “gay” people might think that I like men because they might see me as a man. I’m not a fan of how the meanings of “gay” and “straight” are so context-dependent in general. It might be nicer to have commonly used terms that just mean male-attracted and female-attracted. In the meantime, I appreciate that the lesbian label fits me and is clear on both fronts (about my identity and the identity of those I’m attracted to).

    I obviously can’t speak definitively for any individual besides myself. However, I think I can make a pretty solid guess as to why that is.

    Trans women, especially those who transition later in life, have prior experience with being seen as men by society. And they probably found life to be difficult when living as a man, in many cases. So, I think that because of that, they can be more likely to empathize with men.

    Personally, I try to empathize with every person, regardless of gender. I think that the people who deserve scorn still end up looking bad when you give them that benefit.
