Is it just me, or does it seem like whenever queer people make jokes, they always get taken at face value/ really seriously?

Paraphrased example:

A: "I'm fine with straight people, but I think that they should keep that in their bedroom"

B: "You shouldn't say that! Imagine if that was the opposite way around?"

I understand that some jokes are quite difficult to understand (believe me, I've had a lot of jokes go over my head), but surely people can understand that reversing homophobic/transphobic sayings is often used humorously? Or am I just looking too much into things?

Why aren't transmasculine people allowed a word for the specific kind of discrimination we face? Why must there always be something wrong with it, and then people always get hung up on the wording rather than the fact that there is a group of trans people who are facing problems, real world problems that people disregard as anything meaningful?

Why must we always be erased and forgotten, never seen as who we are because we are masculine. Why do people think this is okay, to hurt others because of who they are? Why must people parrot the same rhetoric transphobes and TERFS say but to people who share rhe same community?

Why must we be divided on something that is happening, has happened historically and still happens now? Why can't people accept that transmasc people face discrimination that is different than "just transphobia" than "just misogyny" that we experience things that others don't and experience things others do? Is it because we're masculine?

I don't understand why people come on here and hate, come on here and loathe, come on here and say that we do not experience bad things, because we do. It is not the "Oppression Olympics" I am trying to compete in, I just want the pain experienced by people like me to be recognised, for people to understand and sympathise or empathise or just be compassionate to the experiences, the shaming, the bigotry, the discrimination, the outcasting and the other horrible things that happen to us.

I don't understand why all of that gets pushed aside because people transition to become masculine or to become men. Please understand I am not trying to take away from anyone else, but we are trying to be heard, when all we have ever been is forgotten.

Deep Sky Bluic + H2Ogender

DeepSkyHBlueO

Definition: A gender/identity connected to the color Deep Sky Blue (RGB: 0,191,255) and water (of any kind), this includes bodies of water, types of precipitation, condensation etc.

I've put different meanings for the stripes below, with what I like them to mean, but other interpretations are good, as long as they are to do with water (wave pattern) or the sky (vertical lines) or the color blue :D

Stripes' Meanings:

123,211,255: Cloud(y Skies)/ Wind/Breeze

206,239,255: Fog/ Haze/ Gloom/ Heavy Mist

123,211,255: Light Mist/ Morning, Midday, Afternoon Skies

0,191,255: (Connection with) Deep Sky Blue

123,211,255 with waves: Warm water/ swimming pool water

206,239,255 with waves: Lukewarm/ Roomtemp Water/ Bubbles

227,246,255 with waves: Cold Water/ Water Froth/ Slushie Ice (like the kind found when the tide washes up on the beach)

Since Watergender and Aquagender already have their own meanings, I have labeled the water aspect of the label as "H2O", rather than water or aqua. I also can't think of a better name for this identity.

The image have incorrect values depending on formatting, hence why I put the RGB codes below :]

Also I have no idea what MOGAI is but I see it on coining posts, but I don't really know what it is :U

I support LGBTQ+, being trans without dsyphoria, microlabels, people of all ethnicities, BIPOC rights, Palestine, Ukraine feminism, artists (not (gen)AI ones, I don't consider them artists), people being theists or atheists! :D

(I may have missed some other things out, ask if you're curious!)

"Placeholder first letter for character's brother -> emotional name connection to character" pipeline.

(Her brother dies and she makes his first name one of her middle names, the one at the front)

I accidentally made people obsessed with Gacha Life Mini Movies. They want to voice act them. They want to make them.

To quote a wise man:

"YOU FUCKING IMBECILE!!"

[dapperghst]

Just found out that my purpose in life is to become someone who my younger selves would be proud of. I want to be the person who would make any younger version of me would go "Yeah, we're pretty cool in the future 😎".

I want to be able to take up space in this world and not feel like I should shrink down and make myself smaller for other people's confort. I want to do more in this life than I'm already doing. I want to change the world for the better, even if that change is small.

I want to be someone who can bring light into the world in any way I can. I want to be.
