How The #Word #Lesbian Might Be Considered #Offensive In Some Public Settings ; #Bias / #Prejudice Might Be #Encoded in the #DNA of both #Culture and #Technology

I am still a bit shocked at the moment because a few moments ago I attempted to add the word “Lesbian” to certain sections of my profile on TedTalks and I kept getting an “error message” that read : ” the text you have entered has been deemed offensive .”

I am not trying to blow this up into Drama.

I am simply, thrown off.

I have asked Ted On Twitter to update their automated message.

As I have been learning about my own orientation for the past few, challenging years, and recently felt pretty great about it all … it was odd, how “shamed” I felt, when I read those words “deemed offensive.” 

I even blushed.

I was a scholarship student, won awards, and now I felt like, maybe I’d get … “suspended” … which, if you know what “Shame” feels like, yeah, it’s like a “suspension” of a sort …

Then, as testament to the strides I’ve made these past few years, I realized that it was more important to me, that I do something to prevent another girl, whose frame of mind might be fragile, from feeling “Shamed.”

I have learned, from my own experience and from research for my indie feature film about exactly this topic, (the awakening of female sexuality and how it relates to “shame,” ) it can affect different women in a variety of ways and often it leads to self-destructive behavior.

I strongly suggest that “deeming” the word “lesbian” to be “offensive,” is a destructive response to a non-destructive word.

Part of my film’s trademarked title is “this female is not yet rated” and I’d like the world to join us in that quest.

Thank you Ted, for all the good that you do …

I am sure that your web technicians can take care of that reactive, reflexive automated message, which, unfortunately seems to have encoded into our very technology, a societal and cultural bias that expresses an automated rejection reflex to the word “lesbian.”

In a sense, perhaps we all have a bit of this reaction ?

Like many examples in society and culture, this reaction is likely embedded, encoded within the genes, in the culture’s very DNA.

I am normally against “genetic engineering,” but in this case, as in all cases of eradicating prejudice and bias, a little “genetic engineering” can help us along.

Thanks!

Dream About A Dream, About A Dream ™ 

by ©Cali Lili 2011, 2014

I Listen

To the Speeches of Dr. King

I Listen

To The Voice of Martin Luther King Jr. 

Because I love Great Music.

The Force and Lift of this Great Man’s Words,

This Great Man’s Spirit,

His Voice,

Undeniable.

The Great Mind of this Great Man,

Eternal.

Mother Earth

Is forever Blessed With our Fortune,

Martin Luther King Jr.  Lives

Among us, 

Still

Loves us,

So very much.

So,

One day,  

I had a Dream Too.

A Dream,

About A Dream,

About A Dream.

In that Dream, I heard the word :  “Woman” 

Spoken,

In that Great,

Voice,

The Voice of Justice.

“She” is Equal

In the Voice,Equal to “Man” and “Mankind.”

“She” is “Woman”

And Also

“She” Embodies

The Multiplicity of LGBT

The Blossoming Of Every Gender

Under The Civil Rights Rainbow

“She” Bridges 

“She” Completes the “HerStory” 

In “HiStory”

Thus Embracing “Femme” in Every One.

I heard the words :   “Sisters” … and “SisterHood,”

Equal,

To the words “Brother” and “BrotherHood,”

Celebrating Every Gender Identity

On a Never Ending Spectrum 

Of Love Equals Love …

I Listen

To the Speeches of Dr. King

And I know 

That I hear him right.
