Thisā¦. is so long and not okay. Iāve read all of link 1, and now I know that it is worth the read, and I will probably read the other two. Iām posting because, despite not being Kemetic I have a lot of close friends in that community, they were some of the first ones to help me when I joined tumblr.
Iāve seen these people (The @ thetwistedrope, @sjwsutekh, @theheartroad and Iām assuming smarmy is @ smarmykemeticpagan) say they stand for peopleās rights, make call out blogs, and support social justice. Then I see this. I believe all but sjwsutekh on that above list identify as non-binary; that in no way excuses what Iāll showcase next.
For more reference if you read any of the links, I know of Hrafnblod and he is not on tumblr. According to Kemetic friends who are on multiple Kemetic discords I asked, Cheshirepierrot is @ cheshirepierrotĀ Ā , Cerebulon is @ accounterofhearts , Cinder is @ heofspeckledplumageĀ , and others only make a comment or two, at least in the first link.
Here is one of the things that turned my stomach the most from part 1:
Sjwsutekh: [quote:] āIām a white passing, middle class, educated, and cis. I also have a lot of privilege.ā (Link 1 image 42)
Princess triangle: *she is trans* [summary:] Transgenderism came up in a topic at a UU meeting but I didnāt feel comfortable speaking. āIām VERY afraid of violence (image 42)ā sacrificing myself and not getting anything done with it, being cast out, and Iām generally worried about speaking out. (Starts at image 34 and goes until image 50, at image 49 you can tell the bullying finally broke her)
DiscordĀ multiple people: including cis people, say she HAS TO speak out, she HAS TO be an activist. It DOES NOT matter if she is uncomfortable. It DOES NOT matter if shes afraid of violence because thatās an irrational fear (Image 42 devo, 47 hrafnblod) . Choosing not to speak up is picking sides. Choosing not to speak up is picking the wrong side aka against trans people (Sjwsutekh mage 44). *This goes on for the rest of this link with heavy guilt tripping*
Sjwsutekh: [quote:] you canāt even speak up in church how the fuck are you going to help with problems like, say, the boarder crisis. (image 50)
Princess triangle: *says shes leaving the conversation, looks and notices they are still talking about her ⦠in a public discord* [Quote:] Iām sorry, but like, can I not have people talking about me when I donāt want to engage. I donāt want to be shown in front of others as a moral failure ( image 55)
Sjwsutekh: [quote:] why, are you uncomfortable? good you should be in this conversation because you admitted to prefer comfort over helping people. then stop being a moral failure. (image 55)
Again she didnāt speak up about being trans because shes afraid.
I donāt give a flying fuck if a fear is realistic or not, a trans person is not morally obligated to speak up about trans rights at every corner. Especially if they are afraid. The conversation stripped her down so much that they made her feel like a moral failure and she said as much⦠then they fucking agreed. How dare they bully her into feeling that way. How fucking dare a cis woman call a transwoman
because the transwoman didnāt speak up at UU meeting because she was afraid.
Keep in mind Iām not even sharing the entire first part where Princess triangle explains that she is Wiccan and involved in UU and everyone in the conversation takes it upon themselves to express how bad Wicca and UU are. 4+ people against 1. So they had already worn her down with mean criticism and lack of any sympathy towards her feelings.
This is only the first link.
To any LGBT+ people reading this:
Never, ever, let anyone demand that you out yourself as trans. Never let anyone demand you out yourself as LGBT+, in any way for any reason. You are not obligated to come out. You are not obligated to be made uncomfortable for who you are because āsocial justiceā activist demand it of you. Iāve had experiences when I outed myself or been told to, as gay and deeply regretted it because it ended very badly. No one can tell me when I should out myself. It is the personās decision and the person alone. This includes the person being out as LGBT+ but talking about it still scares them or makes them uncomfortable, so they choose not to. This also includes scenarios where someone may be comfortable being out with friends but not out at their UU church. They are not a moral failure.
You can help society in so many wonderful ways that do not involve outing yourself. Staying in the closet, for any reason, does not make you guilty of any wrongdoing. Donāt let anyone tell you different.
āwah ur taking it out of context,ā context is 100% available to you its why there are 3 links and I give image numbers.Ā Ā
āwah its a private discord.ā no its not.
I know I say āno politics,ā for my blog but this really has nothing to do with current events but instead the appalling actions of tumblr kemetics includingĀ āleaders.ā
