it’s been what, a year of SGA Discourse? if i google SGA, i get pages about gardening and random businesses with those initials. if i google “same gender attraction” i get a few resources, but the top pages are christian and mormon sources and a lot of them call it a sin.
if i google MOGAI, i get resources. lots of resources and pages discussing terminology. the first page of Google has one link to “MOGAI hates lesbians”, written by a Discourser who’s entirety writing about how ‘allosexual’ is insulting, but the rest are all pretty positive.
so just. I don’t think it’s ethical to tell people that LGBT+ is synonymous with “SGA and Trans people” because it’s just a conversion therapy honeypot.
You realize when you look sga up it usually shows results for same sex attraction which is not the same and sga is derived from same gender loving
me turning in my graduate thesis: yeah i didn’t use any … what’s it called…. da-ta-basses? and i didn’t read any scientific journals to back up my claims, but i DID google my thesis statement and hit up a few google keywords for my abstract, and look at all these sick sources i got from buzzfeed and yahoo answers, so i know WITHOUT A DOUBT that i’m right and nobody else could be more right than me. google knows everything, y’all
are questioning kids going through databases now? kids google, that was my point. this wasn’t about anything but what kids are going to find if they look it up, because that is how they educate themselves outside of school and parents. and it brings up overwhelmingly christian sites. That’s All. I’m sorry this doesn’t have 20 citations and it’s not peer reviewed but i’m just saying they’re going to be harmed and shamed if that’s the acronym we tell kids about.
you didn’t mention questioning kids, or kids in general, in your original statement. you literally just said it was about what “people” thought. don’t fucking backtrack and lie to make it seem like you were “uwu just protecting the kids” because you ended up looking like a fool lmao
your post reads that YOU, in your infinite wisdom, are deciding whether MOGAI or SGA is a better acronym to use based on the first page of google, ignoring that a) the first page of google results is not a valid form of sources, b) that the google algorithm is replacing “gender” with “sex” (since it searches for terms similar to the one you actually type in), and c) that google (like many search engines) is notorious for boosting pages that pay them money to the front page, which thereby banishes thousands of other legitimate results to the back of google hell.
sorry, your post doesn’t mention anything about kids, or questioning people, or LGBT people at all. the only context is someone who doesn’t actually know how to use google trying to pretend that their google results are the ultimate authority.
i said it’s unethical to send anyone looking for conversion therapy resources, and yes, especially questioning kids because they’re the most likely to google this stuff and are especially vulnerable. These are the first three results, are you going to pretend this is okay?
That’s the first page of results on my mobile. There are 2 results that are in anyway positive and not related to conversion therapy, which seem to be results based on my location.
This is what I get on my laptop – They’re literally all advocating for conversion therapy. I don’t know why the results look different, but my laptop isn’t giving any location-based results, so that may have something to do with it. I don’t know what the inner workings of google look like, and I’m not claiming to know. If anyone wants to show me a google search that gives less pro-conversion results, I can open my submission box for you. All I remember is when I was figuring out my identity, I relied a lot on google, and I know none of these results would have helped. I know googling words isn’t fucking “scientific”, but it’s what I remember doing as a youngster. kids, especially queer kids, get their sex ed from google. like, I’m not saying SGA discourers are pro-conversion therapy, I’m just saying this is such a specifically tumblr-discourser term that there isn’t enough use of the term to outnumber that of homophobic Christians.
and holy fuck is it that hard to say gay and bi and pan? and MLM and WLW? Sapphic and Achillean? There’s always better vocabulary you can use and it’s just not justifiable to keep spreading conversion therapy terms.
Chungo- (sexual/romantic/platonic/alterous/aesthetic/flexible/cuck): feeling attraction to a person if and only if they say the word “chungo” at least once a day.
