I'm rarely pissed but I saw this morning on tumblr that some people think aces have nothing to fear coming out

I came out to two friends two years ago

The first one said he didn't understand me and something broke between us I never succeeded to fix

The second said that I was lying because it was bullshit, such people obviously couldn't exist

I haven't come out to anyone since because I'm scared to be seen like a freak or a liar, someone just looking out for attention and to lose another friendship

When actually I just wanna be accepted for who I am

I know other LBGT+ communities have to deal with much bigger problems than this but still don't say we have nothing to fear

And people saying the ace community doesn't belong in the LGBT+ pride because we don't have to face obstacles and hate, do you get the irony with your acephobic comment ?

Thank you for reading, again I'm not the angry type but I couldn't stay silent about that, even if I know I'll get a lot of hate with this post

I got to marry my wife, and our pupper was our flower girl. 2.5 years ago this wasn’t possible, as it wasn’t legal in Australia. It rained our whole wedding day, but was so worth it in the end with our phenomenal photographer.

op this looks absolutely magical

I forgot homophobia was a thing and i spent about 5 seconds wondering why it was ever illegal to have a dog as a flower girl

Remember that whole post that @i-am-a-fish​ made saying that ‘if you have knees, you are valid’ but then someone pointed out homophobes also have knees and then @i-am-a-fish​ replied ‘not for long’

Yeah. That.

The internet is unsafe for children

[eyeplague-del-deactivated202007]

If you’re 15 or under and you’re making nsfw jokes on the regular, you need to step back and realize that is not normal, that is not a good example of productive internet usage

[eyeplague-del-deactivated202007]

If you’re 16 and you have a “kink list” there is something wrong with how the internet has affected you. Take a step back and assess yourself

Being concerned about the sexual exploitation of teens does not, actually, require you to tell teens that they only reason they have the sexualities they have is because they were traumatized. But that’s what this post is doing.

I don’t know if you know this, but sexual development starts for most people during adolescence. It’s one of the major hallmarks for the age group. That doesn’t mean that, as adults, we should be sexualizing teens or assuming they have the skills and resilience to be involved in adult sexuality. But it does mean that we should be giving kids the supportive environment they need to develop their sexual desires in peace and comfort, rather than telling them that they broken, and the only reason they feel the way they feel is because they’ve been abused.

You’re not even accusing adults of being sexually aggressive here. You’re literally telling teens that their sexual desires are shameful, and rooted in trauma.

That’s the most bargain basement kind of sex negativity. It literally gives people complexes. It prevents people from accepting themselves, and by extension it prevents people from learning how to accept others. It creates sexual miscommunications that lead to bad experiences or even trauma later in life when those sexual desires are explored. It gives teens who are interested in kink the idea that no safe adult will ever give them educational resources on safely practicing it, which causes them to try it out themselves without any guidance, and get hurt. or worse, causes them to associate with predatory adults because they’ve been led to believe it’s the only way to learn, and they can’t just stop having sexual desires because that’s not how human beings work.

It’s also the same tired argument that everyone has been using for decades to “prove” that being gay, trans, or otherwise queer is simply caused by PTSD and not a natural expression of human sexuality.

Basically, this is a bad post. The intent might have been good, way down deep. I assume the goal was to help keep teens safer online. But the application is outright dangerous.

Keeping kids safe online means encouraging kids to safely engage with their sexual desires and learn about themselves in educational environments. It means holding adults accountable for any exploitation they force kids to undergo. It means demanding tools and boundaries that help adults keep their content away from teens who aren’t ready to cope with sexual subjects, without shaming those teens, or turning those adults into criminals.

Shaming people’s natural sexual desires doesn’t keep anyone safe. But it sure does encourage high risk behaviours and an environment of paranoia that creates sexual trauma.

Like, okay, everyone is different, but I was a pretty sheltered kid and still recall a couple of weeks in seventh grade where the phrase “kinky bum sex” became a meme. And a little song and dance clapping game that joked about stripping for the boys. And various other little obscenities and sexual references. That was at age 11-12. By 14, the joke was asking people if they were a “pitcher” or “catcher” and trying to get them to answer without understanding the question (so, like the same top/bottom thing the kids are joking about these days). Some people I knew were sexually active from around this age (maybe earlier, but I wasn’t in the gossip chain for the most part). I didn’t want to actually have sex at 14, but thinking about it was certainly a pastime.

This was 2001-2003 in Australia. We had dial-up internet. No YouTube, no social media, no voice chat, no video chat, no online games apart from like, Neopets. Your computer did not come with a webcam. You had no computer apart from the ones at school and maybe a family one in the living room. Internet on your mobile phone was not a thing. You didn’t have a mobile phone.

So yeah, I have to call bullshit on “people under the age of 15 only think and talk about sex a lot because the internet made them do it”. My own lived experiences tell me this is obviously not so, and friends I’ve compared notes with generally have racier stories than I do, and they didn’t even have dial-up.

(Also not going to go too into it, but many kinky people can recall a fascination with their “thing” going back to childhood, I definitely have some that go back to six or seven. By 16, I had the knowledge and language to go “oh, okay, this is a kink” about at least a few of them, and that is a good thing because it helped me to understand my experiences and begin learning about consent and safety for when I would eventually act on them with another person).

I was raised in a religious, sex-negative environment, and feel that erasing, denying, pathologizing and punishing things that are, in fact, very common experiences of adolescence is a form of abuse. (LGBTQ+ teens are particularly vulnerable to messages that their sexuality is a sign of sickness, brokenness or wrongness.) And a lot of internet discourse reminds me more of the authority figures of my childhood than anything else.

“why bother writing bisexual characters if they just end up in a m/f relationship”

my dude

my guy

my pal

stop talking forever

[catboy-prussia]

Oh I have never reblogged faster in my life

[hugealienpie]

Watching my bi friends’ identities get erased when they‘re in m/f relationships makes me think it’s even MORE important to write bi characters in m/f relationships and then be REALLY BLATANT about the fact that one or both of them is bi.

The other day I watched a little boy get knocked to the ground by an older kid who was running by. He burst into tears as his mother hurried over.

“Here’s a bandaid for ya,” I said, producing one from my vest pocket.

“Oh, he’s not bleeding, thank you though!”

I lowered my voice and leaned in. “Kids think bandaids are health magic,” I said. “Ask him where it hurts and exploit that placebo effect.”

She did just that, and instantly the kid stopped crying and thanked her. “I’ll have to remember that,” she said.

Also if you have a crying kid give them a cup of water. You can’t cry and drink at the same time and it gives them a chance to calm down.

Tell them their going to run out of tears so they drink the water.

My mom does this at her preschool after awhile the other children start offering the crying child little cups of water.

[advanced-procrastination]

The mental image of 20 3yos clammering to give another crying 3yo a glass of water has me on the edge of needing a glass of water
