Sorry for speaking here again. Typically, it isn’t tolerated for me to speak, and my sense is that male-homosexuality & ethnicity are primary reasons. I’m used to ‘male’ & ‘homosexual’ being regarded as non-compatible; this is a reason why I’m using ‘male-homosexuality’ (I sometimes acronym to ‘MH’ to spare the typing/jargon). I think my ethnicity also becomes inherently divisive & contentious to people, such that my presence or speech is often intolerated, even in places where it is welcome to the general public.

Some topics I want to talk about include wanting to get permission to sleep & trying to establish unforced access to food. I also enjoy creating & close-reading arts (e.g. poetry, music, art), and don’t really have a place to share.

    There are people & cultures that don’t recognize the existence of ‘male homosexuality’. This can vary from denying that it exists within humans, within nature, or as a sort of category. There’s also those that recognize it as a category, though as something disallowed or punishable. And, there’s also those who disprefer the sexuality for other reasons, and are intolerant of it.

    My ethnicity, as I’ve been told, is half Puerto Rican, a quarter Ukrainian, and a quarter English/Scottish. There are those who aren’t tolerant ‘ethnic mixing’, as one example, which I think is influenced by how ethnic category systems can force a sort of divisive choosing here.

      Okay, but those are both normal identities here. Have you had bad experiences based on those identities here?

      Its an odd linguistic choice to identify as a “male homosexual” specifically and especially as a defiant statement against a seemingly specific type of bigotry.

      Further its odd to start from the assumption that people will be racist towards you as well. Especially here where we can’t know that information unless given to us.

      You’re clearly traumatized and reacting in response to that, but it starts the conversation off on a terrible foot when you assume the community you’re posting to for the first time is going to be hostile to you for things we cannot know unless you share it. I think the hostility you’ve encountered here, including my swearing, was triggered by this because you offended us.

            My email is just beumuth@gmail.com, though I much prefer the tree-style form of communication like here over email.

            My favorite Star Trek character is Seven of Nine, though I haven’t fully watched the series.

            I’m interested in both meditation & technology. Meditation can be like a spaceship, in that it can give powers like transporting to different places, or contacting relatively ‘alien’ beings. Though, I think it’s possible for technology to induce meditation much more conveniently than e.g. changing lifestyle in order to learn how to meditate.
