James Potter was red-green colourblind so all the hcs about him accidentally wearing Regulus’ tie to breakfast are entirely accurate. That shit happened daily.

Expanding on Andrew Sullivan's objection.

Great essay.

The majority of people who are same sex attracted do not adhere to the tenets of Queer Theory and have a variety of political and philosophical views. Some strongly object to the concept of 'queer' and oppose same-sex attraction being regarded as a transgressive, subversive political identity. They may instead want to live in a society where homosexual is recognised as something that some people are and for this to be largely unremarkable and not assumed to include any particular social status or kind of belief system.

This has been the liberal stance with regard to gay rights as well as women's rights and the rights of racial minorities. Liberalism, which foregrounds the right of all individuals to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness has focused on removing barriers that prevent some demographics from achieving this and then leaving them alone to decide what they want to believe and do. This was the leading approach to securing rights for women, racial minorities, religious minorities and sexual minorities from the end of the 19th century upto the 1980s. In relation to gay rights, it is best summed up by the slogan, "Some people are gay. Get over it."

This was very successful because the individual and universal elements of liberalism appealed to intuitions of fairness commonly held by people on both the left and the right. However, beginning in the 60s, a movement of radically deconstructive postmodern thought on the left arose to disrupt it. The central belief of this was that what we consider to be knowledge is, in fact, a construct of oppressive power, perpetuated in discourses (ways of talking about things). Objective truth is unobtainable and the best we can do is theorise about what political forces caused knowledge to be constructed in this way in the first place and try to deconstruct it. This remained almost entirely within the bounds of academia where it troubled the general public very little due to being largely incomprehensible until the end of the 1980s. (I have written about this here). At this time, it was mutated into an accessible and actionable form by scholars developing a cluster of 'applied postmodern' theories that were known as postcolonial theory, queer theory, critical race theory and intersectional feminism along with the lesser known dis/ability studies and fat studies. Central to this wave of theories was identity politics.

Identity politics works very differently to liberalism in that, instead of focusing on the rights of the individual to universally granted rights and freedoms and objecting when any group is denied this, it focuses on the group specifically, rejecting both individualism and universalism. The group then becomes a collective defined by specific theorised interests which are political. People from within those groups who hold those political beliefs are presented as the authentic 'voice of colour' or 'queer voice' while those who hold different views are regarded as inauthentic and not truly a member of the group whose opinions should be considered. In relation to race, it looks like this:

In relation to sexuality, it looks like the exclusion of lesbians, gay men and bisexuals (LGB) who do not ascribe to the tenets of queer theory that sex, gender and sexuality are social constructs whose categories should be disrupted and whose boundaries must be blurred. Many gay men, lebians and bisexuals did dissent from this, because being attracted to people who have the same genitalia as you does not automatically predispose one to have radically deconstructive left-wing political views.

Fun fact ! A lot of colour blind test images are actually based on an outdated scientific model, and can give you inaccurate results.

These babies right here are colour blind tests designed in 2023 to be able to test for colour blindness more accurately than the old ones, which were known for causing a lot of people to mistakenly believe they weren't colour blind.

(The numbers are also laid out in a font that makes it easier to read them, so as to make sure you're not missing them due to some other cause)

TLDR; Scientists came up with more accurate colourblind tests. Here's what they look like, if you were curious.

do you have colour vision deficiency? And if yes, what’s your (birth) gender if it’s not too personal? (It‘s about the X chromosome so men have it more often than women, just curious ^^)

Thanks to @about-that-teenie-girl2 for the poll request! Keep 'em coming, folks.

Do you have colour vision deficiency (colour blindness)? If yes, what is your birth gender?

Yes, and I was born female

Yes, and I was born male

Yes, and I was born intersex

No, I do not have colour vision deficiency
