the 'On Homophobia' meme, with one important addition

I first encountered this meme in a post by sparklebutch (who got it from joanne_c); I've also seen it referenced by rubynye, who credited aprilkat for bringing it to her attention.

( Who am I? edited to be slightly more inclusive than the version you've seen elsewhere )

Or, you know, don't repost it. I don't post memes of any sort much in my LJ, partly to cut down on friendspage-spam. There are all sorts of reasons, other than not believing homophobia is wrong, not to feed the meme.

The line I added begins with italics. I might have let this meme pass me by, too, but petronelle and I were discussing the problem of "crises" in the world that are so endemic and ongoing that they're not considered newsworthy enough for constant coverage, and the particular issue I added to the meme within that context, just the other day.

I also changed one of the two instances of "transsexual" to "transgendered," because while some people still use the older term to refer to themselves, many who self-identify with it prefer the latter term.

Comics-based fun will resume in this journal shortly.

Writing Update (it's Jump-On-Bandwagons Day!)

To everyone who responded to my which-story-should-Jack-write-next poll awhile ago, thank you, the Bruce/Jason story has the working title "In Unfavourable Circumstances" and continues to be worked on.

I'm updating about my progress on a different story today, though.

Thanks to Ang's recent post about genderswap fic, I'm back at work on an old WIP from last year, in which some of the Kryptonite fallout Jeph Loeb sprinkled all over the Superman/Batman title turns Kon female.


Story: girl!Kon (wow, that needs a better working title)
