Thoughts about the LGBTQ+ community
I'm tired of people in this community fighting each other. I'm tired of lesbians not respecting bi girls and saying that they are traitors or that they will cheat on them with a man. I'm tired of gays voting for the far right and being misogynistic. I'm tired of people following the bullsh*t "LGBT without the T movement", which has literally been started by a far right party to gain more votes.
Because it is what it really is: the far right pushing its agenda, dividing us to gain power. If you're gay, trans people are not causing you problems. Queer people are not causing you problems. People using neo pronouns or identifying as objects are not causing you problems. Homophobia, queer phobia is. And many of it is internalised.
They try to divide us because they are scared of our unity. We are strong together. Not the gays and lesbians alone, bus us all together. You're not being strong by pushing others under the bus, you're being a coward. People on the right and far right are not going to be nice to you because you "are not like those weirdos, you're just a guy who like guys" because it was never about being trans or pronouns. It is about always finding someone to blame, and one day it will be you. Because cis straight people are in power.
But if you want to spend your life being a coward and treating people the way you don't want to be treated, that's on you. Hope that you make peace with yourself when you're old and reflecting on your life.
Or you can try everyday to understand others a bit more. To not immediately judge when you see something you don't understand. To figure out what is really going on, that the far right is trying to convince you that being weird and different means that you deserve to have your rights taken away. That you should lose your empathy.
Who deserves to have their rights taken away? To be the subject of hate? People that use pronouns that you never heard of? People who have ten labels? People who question their gender? No. Noone. Never. Not them. Not you. Because it was always about you as well, wasn't it. Parts of you that you refuse to see, to accept. Parts of you that don't fit into their mold of a perfect citizen, a perfect soldier of this system.
Love and acceptance for all 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈🫶
Be free. And let everyone be free. I say queer and trans rights forever, whatever flavour of queer you are, whatever label you have, even if you invent your own. You deserve credit, you deserve to be listened, you deserve to be loved. Thinking otherwise is stupid propaganda.
