Reflection from Mulan was so crazy she literally sang “If I were truly to be myself I would break my family’s heart” and 8 year old proto-gay me was like “I don’t know what you mean but I know what you mean”

Wizard tip:

[arowitharrows]

I don't want a romantic partner I want friends who will go dumpster diving with me, I want neighbors who will knock on my door and ask for butter because they forgot to buy some and it's sunday. I want book shelves in public spaces, food banks and shared tool sheds and community gardens. I want to trade home grown tomatoes for a couple of eggs with my neighbor and I want to bring food over to my friends house when I've cooked too much. I want bicycle only streets and I want people to go on spontaneous walks with. I want people to ask me for help when they need it and I want to be able to ask for help in return. I want community as a safety net. I want people to stop focusing on the vague concept of the one, who will Cure All Isolation and Loneliness. I want every single person to be able to find support and comfort around them, regardless of their relationship status.

[arowitharrows]

Whether or not you still want a romantic partner is besides the point by the way. Of course you can want both, I would even expect most people to want both. The point is that society sells us romance as a fix for the lack of community. The point is people saying "you'll find someone someday" instead of saying "let's make an effort now". I don't want a romantic partner to fix a problem that goes much deeper than what they could fix. Also I'm aromantic.

do anti-kink people realize that their insistance for people to just keep it to themselves and not tell anyone who's not involved is like. what a lot of people already do or do you think the realization that their teachers and friends and relatives and grocery store clerks and whatever have sex sometimes is too much for them. like you dont have to think about it or ask about it and you probably shouldnt but like. people have sex sometimes. and sometimes its not vanilla. crazy i know

[pansyfemme]

the reality of kink is that while i do believe that people should get over their fears of it and just accept that some people ARE openly kinky, a lot of people just. are. and you will never know. Someone who has that kink you think is really weird may be sitting next to you on the bus or working at your dentist and they probably don't want to debate the ramifications of their sex lives publically either. People should be allowed to talk about kink in places that are safe to.. yknow, like queer events and certain spaces online. but like. this insistance that kinky people are like out there whipping eachother in the streets and making everyone watch is so laughable because it positions kink as like a full time job and not just something normal people do for fun sometimes. like oooooh you're so scared to meet someone into bdsm or puppy play at pride? you've probably seen several just on your train ride into town and not even noticed

y'know i feel like i don't hear much from transfems who identify with gayness/manhood in some way/to some extent, a lot. obviously they exist but overwhelmingly online i see mostly NB transfems who lean lesbian/towards womanhood.

with NB people assigned female i feel like there's more of a mix of alignment, so i wonder if this is related to the invisibility of & hostility towards NB people AMAB combined with bias against queer masculinity/manhood.

[ellynoo]

I think that the relative flexibility of womanhood in progressive spaces contributes to the difference quite a bit. With the work that feminism has done to push back against stereotypes and the prevalence of butch women there are a lot of ways for trans women to be happily masculine without being bigender.

For non-binary AMAB people you basically can't identify yourself as a man or you'll be seen as a predatoy cis man invading queer spaces. So you're forced to present yourself as androgynous or feminine in order to enter.

There's a reason the state starts by going after the people you refuse to respect

[danepopfrippery]

Fuckin iowa jesus christ. And fucking republicans in general

[antiterfbutch]

Please notice that the wording they use has shifted from "marriage between one man and one woman" to "marriage between one male and one female". This is not a coincidence. GCs and terfs have no excuse to not see the blood on their hands.

just had an absolutely sickening conversation with a 20 year old I work with wherein I had to impress upon her that her and her friends need to be extremely cautious going to the gay clubs right now with increasing attacks happening. make sure any very young, very newly adult queer people in your life know that we're a family and community and part of that is being willing to fight for your siblings lives if they're under attack. even if it's a person you despise, you stick up for your family and they will stick up for you. we are all we have. the cops refuse to help, and so do most people outside the community. we cannot survive without each other

[anotherpapercut]

also on the family note, people are weird on here sometimes about allies going to clubs/being in queer spaces, but as long as they're there for us like this, they're family too. they may be a cousin instead of a sibling but we protect them and they protect us. at a recent attack on my local gay club, the ONLY person who was injured was an ally who was a regular at the bar who was knocked out trying to protect the drag performers who were being targeted. this is a family born out of acceptance, love, and safety in numbers, not a vip only club

actually I shouldn't have left this in the tags

This also does not include a) older media where an openly lgbt character would spell cancellation for the series or b) foreign media that cannot show open lgbt relationships due to censorship
