if the only gnc people you support are conventionally attractive, skinny, white, cis, tomboyish-but-still-somewhat-feminine women or men who wear eyeliner or black nail polish or crop tops but are still otherwise masculine, you don’t support gnc people.
you also need to support
ultra masculine women and ultra feminine men
masculine/androgynous lesbians and bi women
feminine/androgynous gay and bi men
androgynous people
androgynous and feminine trans men
androgynous and masculine trans women
non binary people who aren’t purely androgynous
gender non conforming people of colour
gender non conforming jewish people
gender non conforming fat people
gender non conforming disabled people
or don’t even bother pretending you care about gnc people
[IF YOU HOLD GNC TRANS PEOPLE TO DIFFERENT STANDARDS THAN GNC CIS PEOPLE STAY OFF THIS POST AND CRAWL INTO A DITCH PLEASE]
I guffawed the first time I read the not-quite-accurate, titillating headline: “Lesbians beaten for refusing to kiss.” For starters, I’m bisexual, but that’s besides the point. My memories of the fight are addled by adrenaline. Maddeningly, I don’t remember exactly how it started. My persisting anger is directed not towards the idiots on the bus but the reduction of my battered face to cheap clickbait.
wild how people had a lot of feelings about an empty building burning down in paris but when the lives of over a hundred sudanese civilians are taken in a massacre, most of the internet wants to stay mute. y’all cried legit tears over a piece of white history being on fire but turn the other cheek when african lives are being taken violently.
since op seems to only care about guilt tripping and arguing w people on their post, instead of providing any real resources on the post, here are some ways you can help sudan:
if you’re not sure what’s going on due to lack of media coverage, hasan minhaj has a ~20 minute good video you can watch here, https://youtu.be/2S3cBp4ucEU

SHARE. post it on tumblr, facebook, twitter, instagram, snapchat, everywhere. make it public, make it known, hashtag the fuck out of it. spread the word.
your lgbt pride means nothing if it doesn’t include every member of our community. people of color, disabled people, immigrants, sex workers, addicts, the mentally ill, etc. if you aren’t fighting for all of us, you’re fighting for none of us.
you can’t define what bisexuality is if you’re not bisexual you clowns. stop speaking over us when we tell you bi doesn’t mean attraction to only two genders
im gonna stop replying to any additions to this post and block anyone who’s being biphobic and transphobic cuz apparently people on here have reading comprehension of an actual toddler and none of you have the basic human decency to not speak over bisexual people and try to define our sexuality for us because you’d rather stubbornly continue to push your own definition for a sexuality that isn’t yours to define. read the bisexual manifesto and look up definitions of bisexuality by actual bisexual people and organisations and i promise you you’ll get something like this:
or, even from bi people on this hellsite, you’ll get something like this:
there’s literally no reason for any of you to be defining our sexuality for us when we have always been defining it the same way. you just refuse to listen to us.
The problem with having lesbian moms is you try to be super cool and cut all your hair off and buy a leather jacket and wear boots all the time and then you go to some event in your neighborhood and all these women three times your age start cooing “oh you look JUST like your mother when she was your age, my gosh what a blast from the past, oh I just love your hair”
And let me be very clear, okay: I’ve seen pictures of my mom when she was my age, and she looked cooler than I ever will. My mom had exactly my fashion sense except she was two point five degrees butcher and habitually took over government buildings. My other mom was about six degrees butcher than that, and SHE had a motorcycle. Both of them have been charged with felony arson. I’m the prep member of my family and there’s nothing I can do about it.
so a week into pride month & two women were beaten by a group of men for refusing to kiss in front of them so if one more gay/bi man says wlw being sexualized by men is a privilege or “not as bad” i will clock them in the jaw
Remember when the fucking Notre Dame burned down and everyone knew instantly and it was over every single news outlet?
Well there’s been a massacre going on in Sudan for DAYS and NOBODIES COVERING IT!
So there is currently a media blackout in Sudan to try and coverup the horrors taking place:
Stop what you’re doing and please reblog this. Innocent people are being murdered, people are trapped, have no internet access, and are being raped by the dozens on the streets of Sudan.
The death toll is estimated to be over 300 civilians. And the fact that not a single major news outlet is covering this is horrific and disgusting. Please help get the word out about Sudan!
