“You dont want kids? I said the same thing at your age. You’ll realize later.”

“You’re trans? You’re too young to know that. You’ll grow out of it.”

“You’re an atheist? You don’t actually disbelieve, you’re just mad at god. One day, every knee will bow and every tongue will confess.”

“You’re a leftist? You’ll become more conservative eventually; every generation does when they come into contact with The Real World™️”

“You’re gay/ace/queer? You just havent met the right man/woman yet.”

If you say any of the above things give me your personal information so i can harm you

edit: the terfs found this post. Y’all fuckin KNOW a teenager saying “give me your personal information” is a joke. You’re literally just being vindictive to have something to say.

anywaysy crazy how u guys r aligning with people who like theocracy and homophobia and heteronormity just because you hate trans people. It’s almost like you, my fellow hoes, are really damn predictable.

Edit 2: i love how after that first edit terfs mysteriously stopped interacting

This weeks comic is a little bit of a sad one but I hope it helps others, it’s difficult knowing you missed out on so much but it’s also not impossible to do a lot of things you did miss out on 💜

This dialogue collects all the beautiful meaning of the movie but let's focus for a moment on Yori's "sorry I lied".

That child dared to disobey his own father and incur his punishment, again, just for Minato! These kids want so much to be together, freely and simply. They just want to be themselves with someone who truly understands them and to express their care. They want to never have to ask permission again. Why the social stigma shouldn't have let them experience their first love, their true identity?

And finally in the end they both let go of the shame. They no longer ask permission and accept themselves as they are.

God the queer experience of meeting wonderful people who are actually kind, compassionate, and thoughtful. Becoming close friends. But still feeling this deep sense of otherness. This deep dissonance between you and them that stems from the fact that they have no idea who you are.

It fucking hurts to have these people hang out with you and like you, and knowing deep down that they won't like the REAL you, but instead this masked persona that you put up for the sake of your own safety. It hurts knowing that every time you talk to them, you know that they're talking to someone else. That someone else is pushing you back and making conversation with your friends. Stealing them from you.

And it's not like we have much choice. People constantly say oh find other queer people, oh just make trans friends, oh you need a community. As if it's that easy. As if we don't already desperately long for some form of recognition, of connection. As if we don't claw our hearts out every night because we want the space next to us to be occupied. To be understood. To be valued. To be worth a damn. To be loved. Some of us just don't have that choice.

It hurts that I can't be friends with these lovely people because of the hand I was dealt. And yeah, I'm ready to hear the "if they don't accept the real you, then they were never lovely people to begin with." True. That's true. But I'm not oblivious to the fact that if I was cishetallo then I would actually have friends. And feel known. And feel seen.

I know we're supposed to love ourselves no matter what and these days you'll basically be torn apart if you so much as insinuate that you're not proud of your identity. But goddammit I'm not. It's hard. And I know trans is beautiful. And queer is beautiful. And it's liberating. But I just wish they knew it too. And it's fucking lonely

It is now my personal goal as a writer to create queer stories for all the major stereotypes

Like come on, how have we not had a gay Christmas romance? (I'd sure as hell watch cheesy hallmark Christmas movies if they were gay lmao)

Or a cliche coffee shop meeting between two lesbians?

Or two aroace royalty in an arranged marriage trying so hard for a romance to please the other until they're like oh, dang, we just realized the other is aroace, let's rule this kingdom as best friends instead

Or a transgender princess/prince who is so insecure but turns out their fairy tale lover adores them as they are?

We get the same cliches reprinted over and over with straight cisgender people and while that's fine I want to see diversity in those cliches

I want to see queer normalized

I want in every crevice, every niche because it belongs

Because we belong.

That's my dream as a writer.

Your pronouns are not a burden!! Your preferred name is not a burden!! The people who truly care about you should care that what they refer to you as makes you comfortable and happy! If they refuse to use it, it’s on them, not you!! Don’t live your life afraid of being yourself because you don’t want to be a burden to others!!

It sucks being aroace sometimes

It sucks to have grown up thinking that a prince on a white horse would come one day and save you from loneliness and make you feel loved, just to realize that no one will come to rescue you

It's sycks wanting to experience all the good things that the movies, books and happy couples around you have shown as happiness, even though you know there's no way you can feel like other people

It sucks to see your friends moving away when they meet someone, leaving you behind, making plans without you and and spending less and less time with you

It sucks to feel like an inexperienced kid

It's shit because it seems like no one in real life gives the same value to friendships as they give to dating

It sucks being an aroace, it's lonely, you feel like there's something wrong with you and sometimes you just want to know what it's like to love someone like that and be loved back.

I'm so tired, I wish to accept and celebrate my identity, but there are days when I would give anything to be like my friends, like alloromantic people and allosexual people, even though I know that this is not me, and that this thought comes from a traumatized place in my being

ps: I wrote this on a frustrating day, it's just a rant, so I just wanted to wish all the aroaces out there who are well resolved with themselves, just as the confused and messy ones, a great week, month, year and life!! 💚🖤💜🩶💙💛🧡🤍 your valid

people who are homophobic because we’re ‘annoying’ are just weak-willed. Because nobody annoys a gay person quite like another gay person

Me: Ok so I'm thinking of starting a club for queer people who are hoping to learn more about their history and make connections within in the community! My friend: That sounds cool, but dont you think you might attract the wrong crowd? Me: What do you mean? My friend: You know... you just might attract some ignorant baby-gays who dont know any queer people irl. Me: ... Me: That's... That's the whole point of the club...

#i just had this interaction with one of my friends and nearly had an aneurysm #ive fought with them over stupid shit before #but this one definently took some patience to deal with #they would definitely benefit from joining a club like this as well #colby rambles #lgbtq+ #lgbtq history #queer experience #queer history #queer community #lgbtq community

I know I’m not the only trans lesbian to get relentlessly pestered by men since coming out but oh my god was it an eye opener to just how creepy some guys can be 🤮

Schools always preach so much about the importance of sex ed. About how discovering your sexuality is an important stage of development. About how you should to understand your likes & dislikes. And about how this knowledge can help you do just that. They're right.

But, for some reason, they don't extend this compassion to queer people. Instead, they assume everyone in the room is straight and treat them as such. Without giving my existance a passing nod.

I'm confused. I don't know what I want. Currently I've learned most of my education from sex jokes and some lines in Heartstopper. I barely know the basics. Do your god damn job and educate me. But then again, maybe it's too much to ask given that you can't even say I exist.

Experts will say stuff like "When you'll be with a man" like it's completely universal. And even though I know I have a right to consent, the lack of acknowledgement is stressing me out. I don't want to. I'm not like you. Just say I exist. Somewhere in the lectures. Say I exist. But they never do.

Dear schools, your idea of supporting queer youth is incomplete. It starts and ends with typical, in-your-face homophobia. You might not hate us, but you're still excluding us. Which isn't support, it's bare minimum. Don't pretend to give a fuck about the community while neglecting it.

Gian insinuating that being gay is something you do not want to be hit pretty close to home for me.

My mom told be once “We accept you for who you are and who you might like, but you know what we hope for you.” Because being queer is hard, and she wants ‘the best’ for me.

Being straight and cis in this world is just easier. And I get what she meant but as a queer kid it hurt.

#it is so closely written with the treu queer experience of family being okay with gay people until its one of their close family #off course you want the best for the people you love #and god knows many queer people have wished to just be straight #because it is not easy to be queer in this world #and this is coming from someone who is from a country that kostly accepting of queer people #unknown the series #unknown series #taiwanese bl #taiwan bl #taiwanese drama #bl series #bl drama #qian x yuan #queer medi #queer experience

Hell Followed With Us inspires me to continue my writing based on rage and personal experience. People tell me rage isn't healthy but this fire has to burn before it can finally rest

Hell Followed With Us is an excellent piece of religious horror that sends rage and the lingering remnants of religious terror up and down my spine. It took a lot for me to get through it but only because of triggers. It was incredible.

I’m nonbinary and autistic so obviously I love Nimona and am fixated on it. But let me tell you I’ve watched so many youtuber reactions to the movie… and the amount of Cishet people who just have every gender/trans/queer allegory or honestly straight up message fly over their heads… like they all seem to intentionally cut out the parts of Nimona saying “I’m not a girl” and not picking up on her shapeshifting being an allegory for being queer, particularly trans. The creator is trans. Nimona is a love letter to the queer/trans community. And honestly I’m feeling possessive over the movie and comic and am sick of watching straight people not pick up on a single fucking message in the movie.

It feels like a difference when Cishet people use she/her pronouns for Nimona vs Queer people using she/her pronouns for Nimona

Cishet people make it feel wrong because through a trans perspective Nimona can use she/her pronouns even if she isn’t a girl because gender doesn’t equal pronouns and Nimona is just Nimona etc but a Cishet person using she/her pronouns for her is them just identifying her as a cis girl and that’s gross to me
