  • To add, this is not a hypothetical; it has real world consequences. When I was at uni, there was a queer night at the college bar. One of the guys there went off at my friend because my friend was in a straight relationship and had turned up. My friend got upset and left. My friend is bisexual, and at the time wasn’t out and was taking baby steps into the queer scene.

    If you heavily police who is and isn’t allowed at queer nights, you bar those that benefit from it most: those who aren’t already a part of a queer community, and looking to test the waters.

    Not only that, but you end up making cishet passing queers feel unwelcome and uncomfortable. Questioning or early transition trans people already have vanishingly few spaces where they can feel welcome and, crucially, safe, without having to worry about whether they’ll have their validity picked at by the Gay Police TM. Aces also have their validity questioned a lot too, which is cringe.

    Bottom line: don’t try to police who is and isn’t allowed in queer spaces.

    No: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crop_rotation

    You keep them where they are. Benefits are:

    Agronomists describe the benefits to yield in rotated crops as “The Rotation Effect”. There are many benefits of rotation systems. The factors related to the increase are broadly due to alleviation of the negative factors of monoculture cropping systems. Specifically, improved nutrition; pest, pathogen, and weed stress reduction; and improved soil structure have been found in some cases to be correlated to beneficial rotation effects.

    Other benefits include reduced production cost. Overall financial risks are more widely distributed over more diverse production of crops and/or livestock. Less reliance is placed on purchased inputs and over time crops can maintain production goals with fewer inputs. This in tandem with greater short and long term yields makes rotation a powerful tool for improving agricultural systems.
