      Marriage equality is the principle that what two people's "sex" or "sexuality" is is IRRELEVANT to their right to get married Any two consenting adults, of any sex, can get married for any reason they want Nicholson explicitly opposes this because it undermines the sex binary

      The sheer absurdity of "LGB Alliance"-style rhetoric never ceases to amaze me Most people understand that what "gay rights" means in general is that the government should *stop caring* about what sex you are, that it *shouldn't matter* -- "get Parliament out of my bedroom"

      Instead you lot have this bizarre obsession with the idea that "gay rights" means the government creating some kind of official definition of what it means to be "gay", identifying who really is gay by a scientific process, and making sure ONLY "real gays" get "gay rights"

      Mate. In the UK, we have protected statuses that ensure that, for example, gay people are not discriminated against on the basis of their sexuality. If you cannot express what a sex is or sexuality coherently, those rights cannot be enforced.

      A person doesn't actually have to be gay to be the subject of homophobic discrimination This is long, long established in anti-discrimination law

      I don't have to actually be Jewish for someone firing me because they *think* I'm Jewish or think I have a Jewish ancestor to be illegal Nor does that person have to have an accurate definition of "Jewish" (they could, for instance, think Jewish people are reptile aliens)

      Come on think this shit through JFC Does the government have to have a big long list of official, established "true races" to combat racism? Instead of just saying "any discrimination on the *topic* of race is illegal"? How do you make such a list without being racist

      Replying to @arthur_affect @lecanardnoir and

      I'm surprised to hear you say this, because I thought social justice advocates were indeed adamant about identifying "racism" as something that only applied to certain listed races, not just "discrimination on the topic" which would include racism against whites.

      This assumes that the issue is with some mighty list of races for whom racism is a thing, as opposed to, y'know, racism constituting a specific societal dynamic that doesn't apply so much to white folk.

      Replying to @eggynack @__rowboat__ and

      The idea of separate "races" existing in and of themselves as real things (the reification of race) is already conceding the racist POV Race is best understood as an adjective or better yet a verb, not a noun -- it's something done to people ("racialization")

      What people "objectively" are doesn't exist, we're all in a "whole big general mish-mash" (to quote Douglas Adams) that could in theory be defined any which way "Racism" is one of the processes by which we try to rank people from "good" to "bad", "normal" to "abnormal"

          Dividing people into categories along the way expedites this process but isn't necessary to it It's a common thing you hear that in Latin America, race is much more commonly construed as a spectrum and not a set of discrete categories Doesn't make them really less racist

          I.e. instead of asking "Are you white or black?" (the one drop rule) it's assumed most people are somewhere in between, "mestizo", and the big question starts off with just "*How* white are you?" That's still racist, that's still essentially racism
