Lesbians have different struggles from other lgbt+ identities, but as cishet people consider them “not normal” they might face hardships based on being lesbian and therefore they deserve a place in the lgbt+ community where they can experience belonging and safety.

Gay men have different struggles from other lgbt+ identities, but as cishet people consider them “not normal” they might face hardships based on being gay and therefore they deserve a place in the lgbt+ community where they can experience belonging and safety.

Bi people have different struggles from other lgbt+ identities, but as cishet people consider them “not normal” they might face hardships based on being bi and therefore they deserve a place in the lgbt+ community where they can experience belonging and safety.

Trans people have different struggles from other lgbt+ identities, but as cishet people consider them “not normal” they might face hardships based on being trans and therefore they deserve a place in the lgbt+ community where they can experience belonging and safety.

Intersex people have different struggles from other lgbt+ identities, but as cishet people consider them “not normal” they might face hardships based on being intersex and therefore they deserve a place in the lgbt+ community where they can experience belonging and safety.

Asexual people have different struggles from other lgbt+ identities, but as cishet people consider them “not normal” they might face hardships based on being asexual and therefore they deserve a place in the lgbt+ community where they can experience belonging and safety.

Aromantic people have different struggles from other lgbt+ identities, but as cishet people consider them “not normal” they might face hardships based on being aromantic and therefore they deserve a place in the lgbt+ community where they can experience belonging and safety.

Pansexual people have different struggles from other lgbt+ identities, but as cishet people consider them “not normal” they might face hardships based on being pansexual and therefore they deserve a place in the lgbt+ community where they can experience belonging and safety.

Nonbinary people have different struggles from other lgbt+ identities, but as cishet people consider them “not normal” they might face hardships based on being nonbinary and therefore they deserve a place in the lgbt+ community where they can experience belonging and safety.

All queer people have their own unique struggles due to not fitting in the “norm” cishet people create. No matter their identity, if someone seeks belonging, safety or support in the lgbt+ community, it is because they can find none outside of it.

The LGBT+ community is a place for everyone who feels like they don’t have a place. This is why we should not gatekeep. Gatekeeping hurts people who have been hurt for the same reason other lgbt+ people have been hurt. For not being cishet.

DON’T TRY TO CHEAT WITH ANTIBIOTICS

I’m seeing a disturbing amount of posts here claiming that people are not finishing their antibiotics (or not carrying on with their doctor’s intructions) in an attempt to “save” their antibiotics for later use.

DO NOT DO THIS.

If your doctor says to take your medicine for 2 weeks, take it for 2 weeks.

Not finishing a course of antibiotics properly means the bacteria are not all dead. They may come back and you’ll have to do a full course again.

Furthermore, not finishing a course contributes to the rise of resistant bacteria, because you haven’t killed all of the bacteria that were making you ill and they can now mutate to become resistant to antibiotics. Your illness could come back, but this time, it won’t be treatable with the same antibiotics.
