Oh actually.
Many of the tumblr queer “discourses” have centred around identities which are erased or invisible.
A common tactic of people trying to deny others language in these “discourses” has been to look at the people describing their less visible experiences with oppression, and then scream at them, “oh my god you just want to be oppressed SO badly!!”
It’s a direct weaponization of the invisibility of the experience to further erase that experience.
Basically an, “obviously, if this was a real problem we would have heard about it before now and so you’re making this up to seem oppressed, even though you’re telling us the reason we don’t see it is because of lack of visibility, we don’t believe you and are further going to erase your experiences.”
