I'm just sitting here imagining a really shy girl with anxiety trying to stuff her receipt and change back into her wallet after ordering food, and the longer she takes the more flustered she gets and she just starts apologizing rapidly as her face gets redder and redder, and when she finally hurries away, all the cashier guy can do is smile at her and chuckle to himself and he accidentally ignores the next customer for the next 10 seconds

I’m tired of being called “homophobic” or “transphobic” just because I’m a Christian and I don’t believe that God condones it. Since when does that mean I don’t respect the person, or their right to choose? I’m fully aware that people have free will, I just disagree with them about the consequences of their choices. Does that give anyone the right to call me names? I’m not trying to force my beliefs on anyone, but I really feel like others’ beliefs are being forced on me.
Now tell me, is that right?
It’s not people calling you ‘names’. It’s not an insult to be called transphobic, it’s just a fact.
If you view trans people as less moral, or less godly, on the basis of them being trans, then that’s transphobia. It’s that simple. Same with homophobia.
You can’t make moral or value judgments on entire marginalized social groups as less moral (which is what you’re saying by asserting god doesn’t condone being gay or being trans…that’s literally a moral judgment by definition), and have those views be universally accepted and supported, or even tolerated.
You view being gay or being trans as morally wrong according to your religion. A good number of people view that as an element in the oppression of gay and trans people, and use proper terminology to describe that.
No one’s beliefs are being forced on you. All people are doing is looking at the impact religion has on the oppression of gay and trans folks and rightfully calling a spade a spade. There’s no beliefs involved, just facts from social observation and accounts of history, because we can literally see the impact that transphobic and homophobic beliefs systems have on the material existence of gay and trans people, and the real world oppression they’re made vulnerable to.
If I had said “I’m gay And hate those who follow God,” You would have praised me as a hero; I would not be considered “odd.” But since I said “I’m Christian But I still love everyone,” You paint me as a villain And then you want me gone. But the truth is I don’t hate you I just want us to be free But you called me out in mighty voice Simply because we don’t agree.
Haha, okay, I don’t condone hating on people for being religious, most of my extended family are quite religious in one way or another (Christian or Jewish), and the majority of my friends are too, and so is my mom, and my grandma, all of whom I love dearly (and am accepted by). Being Christian does not equal viewing gay and trans people as morally inferior/immoral.
And I don’t view almost anyone as a villain, but I do think that the degree of someone’s “love” should be questioned in some cases. Like, gay and trans kids are thrown into conversion therapy by parents who “love” them, and we all know that child abuse isn’t actually love, so it’s important to be specific about what is and isn’t loving in terms of thoughts and behaviour. Viewing being gay/trans as immoral, as sinful, as wrong, is not anywhere near loving. That doesn’t fit any definition of love that I’m aware of, and no one holding those views could ever actually love me or others like me.
No one’s persecuting you for your beliefs. We’re just calling a spade a spade when it comes to transphobia/homophobia.
And no, being homophobic/transphobic doesn’t make you the scum of the earth, but it does make you unsafe to gay and trans folks. it does mean you harbor harmful views towards us that are linked to our oppression.
You keep saying the word Christian, but...you're not talking about what I'm talking about. I think it's better we put this conversation away. I can love, and still believe what I believe. And that's okay, we can still get along, I would hope.

Let’s say someone holds a belief. Let’s say this belief is illogical and polarized. Let’s also say this person is really aggressive and assertive about their beliefs.
This doesn’t give you the right to bully them.
I repeat.
This doesn’t give you the right to bully them.
Now let's say someone else holds this belief also, but they've thought it through logically and are open-minded. Let's say this person is really sweet.
Just because they hold the same belief as Person A does not mean they are aggressive and assertive.
I repeat.
Stop labelling/judging people that hold the same beliefs.
Not everyone is the same.

Don’t let yourself be brainwashed
take a step back. look at your beliefs, are they really your beliefs? or are they the beliefs others have led you to think are right?
the tumblr community is notorious for this! if you don’t fit the perfect mold of social justice, you like the wrong artists or tv shows, or you have beliefs that may be “problematic,” it won’t take long for tumblr to train you to think that your own beliefs are wrong.
don’t get me wrong, a lot of things i have learned on this website, particularly about social justice, have made a huge and great impact on my life. however, this summer i took a step back and realized that there are things that i “believed” that i didn’t actually think were right. there were people who i disliked only because they weren’t quite on the “approved list of non-problematic people” who were perfectly good human beings!
think long and hard about your own beliefs. use information to educate yourself, but do not let it take over your own beliefs “just because.”
tl;dr
think for yourself and don’t let tumblr destroy your self-identity
This is so important. People praise tumblr for being a safe haven for diverse peoples and beliefs, but anyone that tells you what to think is dangerous to you, be it government, Internet, friends, or family

Okay does it bother anyone else when someone stands up for a woman (be it a woman or a man) and it’s automatically feminism? Like no that’s just being a decent human being by standing up for another human being, why does that have to be feminism? I’m not saying there’s anything necessarily wrong with calling it that, I’m just saying it’s odd how when a guy or girl stands up for a guy, they’re called “good human beings” but when anyone stands up for a girl, it’s “feminism.” It just seems like we’re placing a separation where there need not be one. When someone stands up for a child, it’s not called childism.
When it’s 3 am and you really wanna sleep but your mind keeps thinking of words that are spelled the same(ish) but don’t rhyme. My brain’s too full to be dull-
oh. Dang it.

Okay I would like to say if you’re suffering with anxiety, panic, or depression, please please go get help. Like medication. Even though it may be scary, it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Talk to people about it and take action because continuing the way you are is killing you
I took my rubber band out of my hair and it formed a perfect treble clef.
I cannot reblog this enough
Why is this still getting notes
because a treble clef is at the beginning of every bar so there must be notes to follow
Wowie that was a good one
IT GOT BETTER
Made my day 😊
