The inherent insult of being called "cisdisabled"
We all agree that being called "cisautistic", "cisDID", "cisBPD" or just generally "cisdisabled" is insulting, yeah?
But it occured to me last night just how insulting it actually is:
If you're cisgender, you identify as the gender you were assigned at birth. Read the last three words again.
Assigned at birth.
You didn't have to fight for your right to be seen as this gender, it's just plain obvious the way your body looks and you happen to identify as that. End of story. No countless trips to doctors, no humilation, nobody dismissing your symptoms, no oppression because of being cisgender, nothing. It's just given and it's there and that's it.
Now... With almost all disabilities, it's a LITTLE different. Shocker, I know! Guess fucking what, for almost any and all disabilities, you will have to run to doctors countless times, you will be humiliated, your symptoms will be dismissed or even mocked. You have to fight for your rights, constantly - hell, you have to fight for people to take you seriously at all. And even IF you happen to have a physically obvious disability, such as missing a limb, and even IF you were born that way - there still is struggle tied to it. There still will be ableism, health problems, dismissing of symptoms, the whole list.
It's a constant battle.
It's not just "oh uwu I assign this newborn child autism, they are now cisautistic", fuck no!
Calling disabled folk "cisdisabled" inherently mocks, belittles and dismisses the struggles they go through. "Cis" implies they didn't have to do anything to get their diagnosis, "cis" implies privilege.
And there is no inherent privilege in being disabled.
NONE!
Being cisgender is a thing that has literally NO struggles tied to it, inherently. And I'm not forgetting sexism here, I'm not saying women aren't victims of that, I am saying that the fact that you identity as the gender you were assigned with, has no fucking oppression tied to it.
Being disabled does. ALWAYS.
Calling disabled folk "cisabled" is so insulting on so many levels, I can't say it often enough.
Signed, a very pissed off mod Luna.

LABRYS
My proposal for a radinclus Labrys flag, since the original one has
lots of radfem/TERF ideals related to it, in other words, queerphobic.
This flag can include mspec lesbians, lesboys, gaybians, ALL lesbians!
Monocrome version of the symbol for free use, but please give credit if you are using it for your own flag!

are there any limits for the amount of flags youll put in an icon?
Nope! I try my best to include as many as possible :)
Here's some examples:
Be free to request your flags! If it's possible: all of them! xD

btw your DNI on your posts is really hard to read. Would you mind putting an image description on it?
Sure! Sorry to everyone who couldn't read what's written, from now on I'll be putting descriptions!
The images are small and the fonts just make it harder oof 🙇

Let's remember something important:
Ableists are never welcome in the queer community!
If you are one those "transid" radqueers please get out and stay away.
