We need to talk about how so many queer spaces are inaccessible and even actively hostile to physically disabled people.

"What if I'm not trans, what if I'm choosing to be trans for [list of reasons]"
I am grabbing you by the shoulders and shaking you like a can of soda. If, for whatever reason, you looked within yourself and decided to be trans - you're still trans. We (as trans people) don't need to have an "I always knew" story. We don't need to have the ~magical transsexual gene~. It's incredibly hard for so many of us to figure out why we're trans, and if being trans was always a choice, the reasons for choosing to be trans would be complex. If being trans is always a choice, that doesn't negate that we deserve human dignity and respect for who we are.
It shouldn't matter if you chose your trans identity or not, becayse you still are a person. You breath the same air I do, and you deserve to live how you want, on your terms. You watch the same sunrises and sunsets I do, you are here. I, for one, welcome you no matter what your inner reflections are about your transness. You have a place in this world, you have inherent worth.

even if kit connor wasn’t bisexual he would still be a better member of the community as an ally than any lgbt person who participated in the forced outing of him ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
like. being out is so fucking scary esp that young. i’m 27 and i’m still not ‘out’ to members of my family bc i’m scared abt what they’ll say and how they’ll take it. i accidentally outed myself to my parents when i was 19 and it wasn’t a good experience. and what y’all did with this poor boy is force him to out himself on social media before he was ready where millions of people are going to see it, INCLUDING his family who may not even be fully supportive of him being bisexual. all because he was HOLDING HANDS WITH A GIRL. get a fucking life

Getting older and coming to the crushing occurrence that a lot of the villains/otherworldly beings in older media are just minority/marginalized group-coded
The monsters are physically disabled. The evil mastermind is gay. The hired thug is black. The rebel against the system is an indigenous person. The aliens are nonbinary. The evil businessman is plus-sized. The sentient ai is neurodivergent.
And yknow what? Fine. My ass is reclaiming that. Ooooooo scary creature that doesn't fit into the societal norm ooooooooo it's gonna indoctrinate your kids oooooooooo it's gonna make them love themselves for who they are
Glory to the villains, I say. Glory to those that dare exist in bodies that are different from what we have deemed "normal." Glory to those who have only been represented by characters we see as "bad" or "evil." Glory to you.

it's just all so unnecessarily cruel. already being an outsider in straight society, viewed as disgusting and predatory by other women or "needing to be fixed" by men, and then you turn to the people that are supposed to be your community only for them to have the exact same attitude. now you're disgusting and mean and regressive and you're forced to hear the same lecture some straight guy gave you about "giving men a chance" in a bar 2 nights ago from someone who is supposed to understand and be your family. it's just awful

I love trans people. I love trans people that identify as nonbinary. I love trans people that identify as a demiboy or demigirl. I love trans people that menstruate. I love trans people that don’t menstruate. I love trans people that can’t bind safely. I love trans people that are disabled. I love trans people that are homeless. I love trans people who are transitioning with hormones. I love trans people who are getting or have gotten gender surgeries. I love trans people who can’t transition because of financial issues or medical issues. I love trans people who are in the closet. I love trans people who are loud and proud of it. I love trans people that cannot be their authentic selves around their families. I love trans people that have made their own families. I love trans people that have loving and supportive families.
I fucking love trans people because they need more love than the world is offering them. The world may be struggling to find love for trans people, but I love trans people with all my heart. I would not be me if I didn’t care for people being people. I may be only 18, but I will gladly be the older sister to all trans people because I want them to know someone will love them without hesitation.

"no cis men" queer spaces are harmful to trans people, actually.
any space that forces trans people to out themselves as trans is not a safe space for trans people.
any space where security exists to determine who is "trans enough" and who is "lying" is not a safe space for trans people.
any space where trans people will be singled out for their appearance is not a safe space for trans people.
any space that reinforces binary gender on GNC individuals is not a safe space for trans people.
any space that doesn't support questioning/closeted/exploration of gender is not a safe space for trans people.
any space that views nonbinary identities as "an afab thing" is not a safe space for trans people.
any space that is more welcoming to terfs than cis gay men is not a safe space for trans people.
any space that views visibly masc folk as inherently a threat is not a safe space for trans people.
any space that trans people have to justify their existence in is not a safe space for trans people.
any space that draws a line between cis and trans is not a safe space for trans people.

"I'm tired of so much negativity posting, I just want to enjoy Pride Month!" damn me too, that's why I'm going to never shut up about the ableism disabled queer people face in queer spaces and the shocking lack of accessibility at Pride !!

I finally got up the nerve to ask my spanish professor if I could use the nonbinary pronoun elle in class and I was worried the answer would be no since it's not an official pronoun, but he said yes! I got to use the correct gendered words for myself on my test today, and I didn't know just how much gender euphoria writing out the phrase "cuando era niñe" and ending my adjectives with -e was gonna give me but I'm gonna be happy for the whole rest of the day now. I'm also glad bc like... now if any other nonbinary students want to use a pronoun that matches their gender in their spanish class it should be easier for them. I've already done the hard part of coming out to my professor at a community college in the bible belt, explaining the movement for a gender neutral spanish pronoun to him, and providing him with resources from a spanish LGBT organization. And I let my pride club know what he said so now if any other students ask the organizer about using nonbinary pronouns in their spanish class she'll be able to tell them that the prof is okay with it 💛
#rambling#i just keep repeating the phrase 'cuando era niñe' in my head#no era niña o niño. era niñe <3#ive used the elle pronoun in online spaces already but like. for one thing im not involved in a lot of spanish spaces online#and for another thing theres a difference between referring to myself with a pronoun on the internet#and getting to refer to myself with a pronoun in real life in my class and have it recognized as correct by my professor#its very gender affirming#tbh the euphoria im getting from using elle for myself in spanish is making me consider using a neopronoun in english even more#like. they pronouns dont exactly give me gender euphoria. its more like the absence of dysphoria#i only ever really notice if someone gets it wrong. if they get it right my brain just interprets it as normal and glides right over it#and i think it may be bc they isnt specifically a nonbinary pronoun? its just gender neutral#same with all the words that describe me in english. kid/sibling/partner/etc. theyre all gender neutral#they dont tell you much about what my gender IS. they just avoid gendering me#which is correct! i generally do not want to be gendered#and i do notice and appreciate when my family uses gender neutral words to talk about me now#bc its a welcome change from the previous daughter/sister/etc and tbh gendered words give me more dysphoria than gendered pronouns#but when it comes to pronouns specifically... maybe i might. want? gendered pronouns?#ones that at least when theyre used in lgbt spaces would communicate not just 'this person has a vague gender'#but 'this person is specifically nonbinary'?#ive been eyeing e/em pronouns for a while and tbh i think it would be cool to use that pronoun set#bc it would match with the first letter of my name AND the pronoun i use in spanish#i think i might bring it up to my partner and friends to see if they can help me try it out#i dont think i would get rid of my they pronouns but maybe i would use they/them publicly and e/em privately#my business pronouns and my party pronouns

You know I had been debating making a post about the Cayde stans and how often they flood the d2 tag with posts talking about wanting to murder/watch Cayde murder Crow and how fucking annoying that is.  And also how I can’t even go into the Uldren/Crow related tags without seeing their super aggressive posts because they keep tagging the characters. But jesus did I not expect the situation to get as bad as it did!
Really loving a character and being upset that they died and wanting them back is one thing, I get it.  I’ve been holding out a sliver of hope that Roman Torchwick will someday return to RWBY and he’s been dead since like 2016.  But petitioning and pestering the devs to bring him back for no other reason than he’s your uwu funny husbando, flooding other character tags with hate and calls for violence against that character, and having literal real life breakdowns because you remembered that fictional character is dead are very different things and some of these stans really need to turn the game off, take a break, and maybe talk to a counselor about their unhealthy obsession.
Now all of this is bad and annoying all on it’s own and it’s been an ongoing issue in the d2 tag for a WHILE now and it’s honestly making me not want to check the Destiny and Uldren/Crow tags because I’m so sick of it being filled with this shit.
But finding out that a lot of the prominent Cayde stan blogs follow, reblog, and are friendly with fascists blogs?  That they post TERF shit?  And yet people in the tag are still reducing this situation to “annoying cayde stans flooding the tag vs the people who are annoyed about them”??  Why are we not more upset about this being seen as acceptable in our fandom space?  Is it not bad enough that the d2 fandom on twitter is filled with toxic assholes who constantly make women, poc, and lgbt fans feel unwelcome?  Now we’re just gonna downplay and tolerate that kind of thing here too?  It’s baffling that I’ve already seen so many posts treating this like petty drama rather than an actual ongoing issue with the d2 fandom.
I’m glad that some people have spoken out about this because this is absolutely a dialog that needs to be started but too many people are treating this like funny fandom drama.  But stuff like this being peddled by some pretty prominent fandom blogs IS a huge problem.  Seeing these posts, even if you may not agree with them, can normalize it.  The messages in these posts can be passively absorbed until you start to actually think “You know what that’s actually a good point”.  It’s a pipeline and I promise it’s not worth it just to see fandom content.
It’s especially upsetting because Bungie does a good job at trying to foster inclusivity and show their support for poc, women, the lgbt community so that they feel comfortable playing the game and being involved with fandom.  And frankly I’m tired of constantly seeing things that directly go against all of that and instead try to push all of those people out.  Toxic gamer dudes on twitter and now conservative terfs on tumblr...
I don’t want to continue to feel pushed out of a fandom that by all accounts I should feel welcomed in.
And in case it wasn’t obvious from my ramblings: 
Fuck fascists
Fuck TERFs
Fuck bigots
