I have no idea what to do with this, but wouldn’t it be neat if Aang started doing all of his bending using the wrong style of bending? Just because he can?

Airbending? No, actually, it’s humid in here. I used the water in the air :) nope, just manipulated the temperature with firebending. Common mistake! They look very similar!

Oh no, that wasn’t earthbending. That was airbending. I’m basically just compressing the air! Sokka came up with that!

Avatar Aang comes in to give a bending demonstration, and immediately 60-year-old masters start gnawing the furniture because what do you MEAN that was waterbending!!! You made flames!!!? We’ve been studying this all our lives why would you come in and do this to us

Do NOT leave these in tags OP

I recommend also reading the post this commenter is responding to.

These comments are really good as well

The expectation that you will refer to a trans person by their preferred pronouns and name is not them ‘forcing you to accept them’ it is basic respect. You don’t have to like trans people, you don’t have to ‘believe’ our identities or whatever. You do have an obligation to treat us like people, though. If you had a 40 something cis male coworker named Bill and you repeatedly, pointedly and aggressively called him ‘Shirley’ and exclusively used she/her pronouns to refer to him, that would be a major HR problem. It is not persecution to have to show basic human decency.

imagine how much more fucked up the history of the world would be if eating someone’s brains reliably conferred on you their memory and knowledge

but for real though the keep gay people away from children thing is so weird because so many teachers are gay. I mean, even historically. lots of gay women became schoolteachers because the job forbid them to marry during the term of their employment and it was a good excuse to keep men away. and I think we all had at least one nebulously gay teacher at our school, often several and it didn’t kill us and they were usually very good at their job.
