Queer Galaxy

[youhaveaquizjustin]

have you ever equated female to having a vagina and/or breasts or being male to having a penis/pecs/testicles? you’ve contributed to transphobia. have you ever said anything about men not being able to have periods? you’ve contributed to transphobia. have you ever laughed at a “man in a dress” joke? you’ve contributed to transphobia. have you ever invaded a space meant for trans people? you’ve contributed to transphobia. have you ever invalidated someone’s gender? you’ve contributed to transphobia. have you ever compared the systematic oppression trans people face every day to a few blogs online that poke fun at cis people and point out what cis people have done to trans people? you’ve contributed to transphobia. have you ever said or did anything that suggested that being gay was a method of birth control? you’ve contributed to transphobia. just because you’re not openly hateful towards trans people doesn’t at all mean that you aren’t transphobic or that you don’t contribute to transphobia on a daily basis.

Do people not realize how toxic the mindset “everyone’s straight till proven otherwise” is???

cis person: i am uncomfortable that this is not about me

[devouringdarling]

"ummmm your diverse headcanons make me feel uncomfortable" good there’s a reason why it makes u uncomfortable now recognize it

Offensive things aren’t offensive merely because they hurt feelings - they’re offensive because they contribute to the societal harm of marginalized groups. The end goal isn’t to get everyone to love each other, it’s to destroy power imbalances.

word up to all the women in the uk who got married to other women this weekend but didnt get reported on because the media only reported on male gay marriages for Some Mysterious Reason

[cannabiscomrade]

Let’s play another round of Who Has the Biggest Victim Complex?:

A. neurotypical people

B. white people

C. straight people

D. cis people

[autbucky-remade]

but what about men?

[cannabiscomrade]

for once “but what about men” was a phenomenal addition to one of my posts and I applaud you

according to tumblr straight people can be homophobic and that’s not bad unless they actively kill people but any queer person who expresses anything other than complete and total sycophantic admiration for straight people is a terrible person

"not gay"  ≠   “straight”

Are you fucking kidding me? Apparently Neil Pattrick Harris is slated to play a transwoman in an upcoming Broadway play.

Jesus. Christ. Don’t they understand that we exist and can play the role better, and more true to life?!

WHY THE FUCK ARE CIS MEN STILL GETTING TRANS WOMAN ROLES AT THE VERY LEAST GIVE THE ROLE TO A CIS WOMAN BECAUSE WE ARE WOMEN

Petition to ban straight men from making films about lesbians. 

[kingpotate-deactivated20180119]

Petition to ban LESBIANS from making films about STRAIGHT MEN.

ALSO SOUNDS DUMB

[zuroa-blog]

why would lesbians even want to make films about straight men in the first place

[these-deactivated20200627]

i hate the whole oppression works both way thing because like

for instance

if you go up to your boss and say “YOURE A FUCKING ASSHOLE. YOURE FIRED!!” nothing happens to your boss because you’re not in a position to do anything to her like that. if she goes “NO, YOURE FIRED.” then you’re out on your ass and unemployed. you both said the same thing, but its effects were COMPLETELY different, because of the POSITIONS OF POWER.

[theomancycos]

there’s a really big difference between “the writers want to put these two characters in a queer relationship but can’t because of censors” and “we’re going to keep putting these characters in queer situations and playing it off as a really funny joke”

A racist woman is not a feminist; she doesn’t care about helping women, just the women who look like her and can buy the same things she can. A transphobic woman is not a feminist; she is overly concerned with policing the bodies and expressions of others. A woman against reproductive rights — to use bell hook’s own example, and an issue close to your heart — is not a feminist; she prioritizes her dogma or her disgust over the bodies of others. An ableist woman is not a feminist; she holds some Platonic ideal of what a physically or mentally “whole” person should be and tries to force the world to fit inside it.
