my name is Owl, I'm an adult, I use he/it pronouns, and I'm a did system, body is white and transmasc

I am:

- mostly anti-ship, with some exceptions

- a radical inclusionist

- anti-transmedicalist

- pro neopronous

- anti endo

- anarcho-communist

- pro blm/acab

- anti "radqueer" (I feel very old)

Wow, the landscape of queer discourse has changed drastically from when I actively used this account. Why are there people who want to experience trauma, and why do they consider it a queer identity?

[owl-discourse]

As someone who has trauma, it's not something that is all that interesting, or even all that unique. Stories of abuse are only interesting to people who don't know how boring it really is to go through. Therapy is boring, taking meds is boring, talking about it to someone who cares is - although nice and relieving - mostly just boring. I don't understand the need for it.

i'm regularly astounded by the cognitive dissonance some of yall have to accept that gender is a social construct with infinite possibilities with the capacity to be deeply personal and individual but still think there's a list of like 4 acceptable sexual orientations and if you go outside of that list or mix entries on that list or relate to them in a non-traditional way not only are you Breaking The Rules you're personally directly harming people who follow them

[owl-discourse]

I continously forget exclusionists exists until I go online and see an occasional post of theirs pop up in LGBTQ+ tags. In all my years of frequenting queer orgs and events, I've never met one at any of them.

met some young trans people today and they said they didn’t know who kalvin garrah was. nature is healing.

I don't get why straight folks and non-lesbians feel such a strong need to comment on m-spec lesbians. this isn't your place to talk, especially when you talk over lesbians whilst doing so

it’s not a slur, it’s just an outdated and useless concept which tends to be used as a bludgeon or a pedestal, and both are harmful.

I wish everyone who writes or defends RPF a very stay the fuck away from me holy shit writing real people like they're fictional characters and shipping them (especially if you make it sexual...) is not fucking okay that is an actual living human being

[chaos-in-one]

I wish every proshipper who mocks or looks down on antis "not being able to tell fiction from reality" a very you're ableist

Having trouble or even not being able to tell at all between reality and fiction is a common and sometimes even primary symptom of psychotic and dissociative disorders. The majority of people with those types of disorders struggle with this to soke degree, including myself.

Looking down on, mocking, and belittling this directly hurts and makes fun of psychotic and dissociative people.

[theywontletmebeprincipal]

you people do realize the reason a lot of ppl r turning to labels like bi lesbian is bc you told them queer was a slur right

[owl-discourse]

the general idea that nonbinary people are inherently included in all sexualities wierds me out. as a nonbinary trans guy, can I date a lesbian without that invalidating their sexuality? cuz if so, congrats, you're a radical inclusionist

[owl-discourse]

@rittz

the whole post was made because of the last sentences. you can't always tell of someone's nonbinary. you can't always tell if someone is a man or a woman just by looking at them, either. I've had people think they were attracted to me before I came out as trans, only to loose that attraction as they don't like men. so that argument holds no water

nonbinary identities are complex and varied, but none of them are a constant binary male or female. so that argument holds no water, either. some lesbians like multiple genders, like nonbinary people, and some don't

you can say battleaxe bis it’s ok

[owl-discourse]

I'd have to mention waay too many people if I made an actual callout

[owl-discourse]

hey, I'm Owl. I'm over 18 and use he/him pronouns

I'm a pretty radical inclusionist and don't really believe in policing identities much

here's some opinions

- aces and aros are inherently LGBTQ+

- intersex people can obviously come hang if they want to, as well

- you don't need dysphoria to be trans, which is the medical consensus

- dysphoria means clinically significant distress, and you can't change medical definitions because you want to win internet arguments

- femme and butch where largely used, and aren't inherent to lesbians or sapphics

- mspecs lesbians aren't the epitome of everything wrong with society... they're just some lesbians who are also mspec. the label wasn't exclusive to monosexuals ever. it's always been inclusive

- nonbinary people are trans if they consider themselves trans

- neopronouns are valid, as are nounself and emojiself pronouns. they don't make us look ridiculous, internet losers arguing over pronouns do however

- no real opinion on endogenics. I'm not a system, and there's very limited research into DID

- fuck capitalism. read theory

- fuck those who stan Vaush and similar radlibs. do some actual praxis. attend a protest. stop being on Reddit

- I can't believe I need to say this, but stop romanticizing pedophilia. it's stupid wierd

[owl-discourse]

I need to update this tbh

"you should know and learn your history, but only the parts of it I personally agree with"

[xoxo-ben-xoxo]

eh one day you'll go to a real life lesbian bar and there will be he/him and mspec and trans man lesbians there and you either won't notice or it will be none of your business and no one will care and you'll probably realise that online discourse doesn't really hold up irl especially when there are so few actual spaces for LGBT+ folks anyway

bisexuality, pansexuality, and omnisexuality

I used to do a lot of research on the topic when I was still exploring orientations, but bisexuality, pansexuality, and omnisexuality are all different things with different definitions.

pansexuality: being attracted to all genders without preference.

bisexuality: being attracted to two or more genders.

omnisexuality: being attracted to all genders with preference

bisexuality is an orientation on it's own, but it's also an umbrella/parent term. pansexual and omnisexual people are technically bisexual, since they're attracted to two or more genders. pansexuality is NOT biphobic. saying that is inherently panphobic AND biphobic, seeing the previous point of pansexual people falling under the bisexual category. I see a lot of people saying this (especially uneducated people or little kids) and it pisses me off. we as a community should not be warring against each other, but instead helping to support each other. i used the label of panromantic before realizing I was never into girls and all my love goes out to bi, pan, and omni people 💖
