Antisemites, Terfs, Maps, Nazis, Ableists, LGBT+ exclusionists and phobes, and anyone promoting any kind of hate, and on my blog, you are NOT welcome here and NEVER will be. Please leave and stop hurting other human beings.

We support our LGBTQ Romani community members :)

[kenochoric-moved]

I know people mean well and good, but try to remember that saying “straight people don’t belong in the queer community” completely erases the fact that straight trans people, straight aspecs, etc. exist. Straight is not the word for “not queer/not in the community”, that’s why we have words like allocishet.

I do not want a life-long partnership, as an aroace person.

When I first learned about being aromantic and asexual, I saw a post on Tumblr about QPRs, aka “Queer/Quasi-platonic relationship”. Here is some quick information on what this means.

I thought that I was interested in this type of relationship. I have been in multiple QPRs in the past even. 

But, after really reflecting on it, I realized - it was the exact same situation as with romantic/sexual relationships.

I am not interested in any kind of relationship beyond friendship. Queerplatonic, romantic, sexual, anything like that. I do not want a “life-long partner”. I love being completely single. I am completely fulfilled and content.

Yet, that voice that tells me that I will never be happy without being in these types of relationships? Yeah, it’s still here. 

With QPRs, this was my unconscious thought process.

“If I am not in a romantic/sexual relationships, at least I can be in a QPR and be somewhat normal.” or “Maybe I will develop these feelings if I can hold out a little longer.”

I felt the exact same in QPRs as I felt in romantic/sexual relationships: trapped, awkward, uncomfortable, stressed. The fact I could not return these feelings would make me extremely stressed. In my last relationship, that was the biggest wake-up call. I was so stressed during that relationship and had no idea why. The second we broke up? I felt so much better.

My dream is living on my own, maybe own a pet, have my own space, but also have a few friends I can hang out with. This is completely fine! I am allowed to live however I want to as long as it isn’t hurting anyone.

Anyways, I guess I’m making this post to show people that you don’t have to be in ANY kind of relationship if you do not want to. I didn’t realize this until very recently, and if I had known earlier, it would’ve saved SO MUCH TROUBLE for EVERYONE. 

You can have a completely fulfilling life. You are not broken. It is your life, and you deserve to live it however you want to.

Transcript:

Heyo! With pride month starting, here's a quick comic on pride Etiquette, a short guide / general tips on treating lgbt+ people, for the new, curious, and those who forgot!

1) Treat people's identities as the indisputable truth. Even if you don't think they fit the definition, even if you don't understand (the identity), even if you think they're lying, even if they're a bad person. It's not your job nor your business to tell people what to call themselves. Unless they ask for your opinion, only the individual can make that decision.

*There's very few times when an identity can actually be harmful. This includes predatory labels, labels that are bigoted by definition, or people identifying with culture-specific labels when they're not part of that culture. Otherwise, leave them be!

2) Respect and use people's pronouns, regardless of how you feel about them! If you don't know how they work, ask! If you accidentally misgender someone, correct yourself and move on! No need for lengthy or dramatic apologies. However, also make sure to ask when it's appropriate to use them! Someone may not be out to parents, certain friends, etc, and will ask you to purposefully misgender them for safety.

3) LGBT+ people are not responsible for someone else's anti-lgbt+ views! Strange, unbelievable or confusing identities do not cause bigots to be bigots- the lgbt+ community was made because we don't fit society's box, don't fall into the trap of forcing people into another one! If they're not actually hurting anyone, then leave them be!

4) You're not expected to learn every single lgbt+ term / identity. Nobody knows all of them, not even lgbt+ people, so don't worry about it! Simply learn and ask questions as you go!

5) If you're curious about someone's identity, ask if they're comfortable with questions first! There's no harm in educating yourself, but sometimes we get tired of being walking encyclopedias!

Thanks for reading, and happy Pride!!!

If you make fun of schizo spec/psychosis spec people's delusions you're a giant piece of shit. If you do it to the same person multiple times, you're an abuser

tired of people acting like psychotics with violent/angry outbursts or whose psychosis presents aggressively are the scary, basement sibling of the psychotic community and not another of the many facets of this community who desperately needs support, compassion and understanding just like the rest of us

[The "I can't read!" meme format from Arthur. The first panel reads: "Don't push your religious beliefs onto psychotic people and convince them that their psychosis is actually real" on the sign that D.W. is looking at.

The second panel where it says "That sign won't stop me, because I can't read!", there is text over D.W. that reads "Witches". /end ID]

Signed, a psychotic pagan who is sick of this bs

I'm tired of performative ppl reblogging those "I SUPPORT PSYCHOTIC PPL" posts but then turn right around and fucking make fun of psychotic people who show symptoms!!!

If someone asks you to verify that something is true/not true and you call them annoying or act like it's a bother, fuck you!

If someone is clearly in distress because of a delusion and you make fun of them, say it's for attention, or feed into it because you think it's funny, fuck you!!!

If a transgender person has psychosis and you tell them they're not "stable enough" to know or that it could be a delusion, FUCK YOU!!!

Support psychotic people, even when its inconvenient! Even when you dont understand! If you are going to be an asshole, condescending, or patronizing, literally just shut up cause nobody wants to hear it!!!

NT PEOPLE PLEASE REBLOG BUT NO CLOWN SHIT ON THIS POST!

Questions are welcome!

[alienrabies]

the one symptom that all schizo and psychotic-spec disorders have in common is that we're all beautiful and amazing and deserve all the love and safety in the world

[jellyfishleeches]

Reminder that having low or no empathy doesn't make you a terrible person, you aren't dangerous just for experiencing an emotion differently.

You aren't a burden to society if you think differently. You aren't inherently abusive because you think differently, you are just as worthy and valid as people with empathy.

I hate being teased for having psychosis. People need to normalize mental illnesses other than anxiety and depression.

the psychotic person reading this is very cute and powerful and im hoping they have a good day today 💕✨
