pronouns: cele/celes

Plural. This is why we use we. Trans{gender and species}.

We aren't human, thank you!

We are also ace- and aro- spec, so don't direct sexual or romantic things at us.

Amazing how they seemingly do not know what any of this means, as they're getting several symbols and ideologies/systems mixed up.

For anybody having difficulty reading the text:

Anti Acknowledgements

There have unfortunately also been people who have been less than helpful in my journey here. I wanted to acknowledge those too, because I know I am not unique in this experience.

No thank you to the physics study association that made me sing songs about how women couldn't study physics without sleeping with the professor, the day I stepped into university life. No thank you to the 5th year physics student that decided to assign me a 'stripper name' within the first minute of meeting me in the physics coffee corner in my first year. No thank you to the technician that was responsible for onboarding me on the use of the cluster in my third year who raised his eyebrows and asked me if that meant I was some sort of "computer girl". No thank you to the senior researcher that sent me utterly inappropriate texts after a conference, then proceeded to 'apologise' months later by telling me they had not been meant for me anyway so "no hard feelings remain hopefully". And no thank you to him for attending every conference I've been to since. No thank you to the people who told me that it was "surprising" that I was doing a PhD since I was a girl. No thank you to the man who mistook me for a coffee lady at a conference, and after having to correct him two times that I did not work there, responded with "you should consider it". No thank you to the researcher that asked me what I was wearing underneath my outfit during a conference. No thank you to the physicist who declared to a room full of other physicists that biologists "don't know how to design an experiment". No thank you to the people who have called me scary instead of strong and intimidating instead of intelligent. And finally, no thank you to the executive board of the TU Delft, whose knee-jerk reaction to being held up to a mirror about the social safety at the university, was to sue the party holding up the mirror instead of looking at the problems they highlighted.

I wish I could tell you this has all made me stronger somehow but in reality it has only shattered my confidence. You have made me feel like I do not belong in science and I cannot forgive you for that.

-Rachel

Please please please stop using corporate social media for organising and events, it locks out people who care about privacy, they have to go searching instead of just being told what happens, and it's just generally a bad experience all around.

Yes, however, it's the other chemicals they mix it with that make it not biodegradable. Thankfully there are some companies not using those chemicals now which is lovely.

Also, for those who are allergic to latex, unfortunatley the only option is polyurethene which is plastic, and as such not at all biodegradable.

Gender is a social construct and you don't have to 'live up' to any predefined ideas about what you 'need' to be, what you 'need' to look like, or what you 'need' to do.

It is Amos Burton from The Expanse. He is looking sullen at the words Space (Adjective) Billionaires (Noun) at the top of the image. However, at the bottom of the image he is looking very overly happy at the words Space (Verb) Billionaires (Noun).

Let's stop posting about him and giving him a platform then, especially in queer spaces.

Funny responses:

"Sister"

"Yes, daughter/child?"

"That's right, I'm just cleaning you up, with my tongue like good mothers do."

No. Because your first mistake was calling it "naughty". When it's perfectly valid, acceptable and shouldn't be seen as out of the ordinary or somehow 'bad'. 😜

Feel free to try again though~ 😏😉

The best response to this is to ignore him and stop posting about it.
