RaveGender Critical Gratitude Post
This is just a gratitude post, for all of Ovarit, but especially this board, as I just spent an hour on another site, reading posts by people I actually know complaining about how they don’t like people who are “anti-science and transphobic” and completely unaware of the cognitive dissonance they’ve had to reconcile to say things like that.
I am so exhausted by people who claim to be tolerant and open minded and social-justice-oriented also vehemently defending the idea that boys who are sweet and sensitive are actually girls and girls who don’t want to wear itchy, uncomfortable dresses that they have to keep clean are boys.
I am not currently in a position where I can be outspokenly and confrontationally gender critical (I never lie outright, though), but it’s draining nonetheless to see so many friends fall into this cult, whether for themselves, for their children, or to win friends.
And this place is a cool oasis in a hot, parching desert. Thank you so much, all of you, mods and participants alike, even the ones I often disagree with about other things, because it’s so good to have a place where I can say that 2 + 2 = 4.
First I want to say this is not a romance novel the romance part is very minimal
Oh thank goodness! Romance just isn't my genre and the description made it sound like something I would like until it got to the romance part. I don't know much about Norse mythology (my "world mythology" phase growing up had me dabbling in all sorts of myths, but mostly Greek/Roman, Japanese, various African countries', Irish, British, and various Native American tribes' myths were the ones I really dove into, which ended with me learning everything I could about them, though I've probably forgotten a lot by now. I still really like myths and legends even now, though I'm not completely obsessed with them anymore like I used to be.) but if that doesn't get in the way of me understanding the story I'd love to give it a try!
I'll put it on my "To Read" list and see if my library has it. Thanks for the recommendation!
Amazing. Just finished the most recent Sarah J. Mass. Don't judge! 😂
This sounds more like Circe which I loved ❤️
Book is on Scribd
I started the book and it's great. I remember the story from Neil Gaiman's Norse Mythology book.
It must be good. All copies have long wait lists at my library. It does sound interesting.
Thankyou - i was wondering about this book. Sounds like a perfect one for my holiday.
That sounds pretty cool.. I love norse mythology... I will put it on my 'to read' list :P
EDIT: I checked it out on goodreads and the second review calls it transphobic LOL so now i have to read it
