Some fun LGBT+ history from todayâs #Pride tag on twitter
it isnt a very popular argument amongst excludionist to deny that asexuality is a genuine sexuality; it is, however, to stress that asexuals are not inherently lgbt due to their asexuality.
this article makes no claim that asexuals are lgbt; it merely lists asexuality as one of several existing sexual orientations, like heterosexuality

This caused me agony
I cringed so hard at this
Is this a drag or genuine?
Op is dragging the comic maker but idk if the comic maker was serious
I can't tell if the comic is serious or not either, but boy if it didn't manage to viscerally insult everyone it mentioned.
"brainweird" and "genderweird" like are you FUCKING kidding me
The comic maker was dead serious
tired: Aziraphale isnât gay because heâs nonbinary
wired: Aziraphale IS gay because heâs still living in the 19th century and sees gender and sexuality as inextricably tied together
inspired: Aziraphale doesnât know how to quantify his gayness when his partner keeps hoarding the genders and bouncing around them
I'm so done. It's over. I'm tired of it. What the fuck does this mean and why is it on my dash.
Ugh that post has gotten me thinking about fat acceptance in a way I havenât in years. Iâve read more studies about weight and health than probably any other topic Iâve ever researched. And every time I see someone wail about health I am just like
Did you know that in post-mortem examinations there is zero correlation between weight and levels of arteriosclerosis and related diseases found?
Did you know that people with an overweight BMI have the longest life expectancy, that those with an âidealâ and an âobeseâ have about the same life expectancy, and that being âunderweightâ raises mortality rates more than being âmorbidly obeseâ?
Did you know that losing weight and then gaining it back is worse for your heart than remaining at the weight you started consistently?
Did you know that 95% of people who lose weight do gain it back, and there has never been a single documented weight loss program that has been demonstrated to keep the weight off for five years or more in the majority or even a significant minority of people? Like, telling people to lose weight isnât much use if we donât know HOW to make that happen.
Like I have read The Obesity Myth by Paul Campos and Rethinking Thin by Gina Kolata and Big Fat Lies by Glenn A Gaesser (Ph.D!) And Fat!So? and several other books that I donât own and so donât remember all of their names I spent like four years reading every single study coming out and looking at the methodology and noting which ones had huge holes or terrible methods and which didnât (the holes were almost always in the pro-weight-loss studies) and like
Big Fat Lies has 27 pages of bibliography. 27 pages worth of scientific citation. The book content itself is only 197 pages. Thatâs a page of references for every 7 pages of book. Reading the book is just reference after reference and study after study. Most of these doctors (like Linda Bacon, author of Health at Every Size) started out the same way. They wanted to use the scientific method to find a real weight loss program or health solution that worked and could be proven to work, and so studied everything they could about weight and fitness only to find out that we didnât need weight loss in the first place. That all the studies calling for it were lacking or nonexistent. That weight and underlying metabolic health have very little relation. That the history of our relationship with health and obesity has little basis in fact and a LOT of basis in capitalism, politics, and fashion. No, really, the association between weight and health was first proposed by insurance companies looking for ways to charge people more by claiming risk. They also charged tall and short people more. And people with different skin colors. When they got in trouble for charging people for things they had no control over and had no bearing on their health, they set out to prove that weight was controllable and that fat was unhealthy to make money.Â
These are also a lot of the same people who went on to invent the Presidentâs fitness program, so if you went to public school you probably already hate them.Â
Anyway, if you want a place to start reading about the issue, this article is a pretty good launching pad.Â
This casual rant is like a primer on weight science. Amazing. I second their book recommendations, and would add to the list Body Respect by Drs Bacon & Aphramor, Body of Truth by journalist Harriet Brown, and Whatâs Wrong with Fat? by UCLA professor of sociology Abigail Saguy.
Listen this is great and all, and to some extent I agree, but I can't get out of my head how my grandma lives as someone who's seriously obese. She can't walk up a flight of stairs without taking breaks, she can't walk down the street without having to take a break, her knees hurt from supporting her weight all these years, she can't get into cars without help, and so much more all because of her weight.
I'm not going to sit here and say that being overweight is awful, because that's not true, but y'all gotta realize that there's a limit to when it's okay.
My grandma has missed out on so much because of her weight. She's never been able to play with her grandkids, she can't enjoy fairs and festivals, she can't go on trips to the zoo or the park with the rest of our family.
Don't try and say that weight has no influence on health, or try to say that it's okay to be obese. It's not, I've seen it myself.
My grandmother will most likely die sooner than she has to because of her weight. And even if she doesn't, which god forbid I'm right, she's not going to be healthy and comfortable in the last years of her life.
So seriously, don't try and say it's okay to be morbidly obese.
Huh đ¤
the lesbophobia really jumped out, didnât it @hopeforhuzzah

I feel like if core tumblr didnât make fun of âcishetsâ so much people would stop changing their gender and taking on so many micro identities to avoid being an evil straight
Like âOh my non binary so everything I feel is gayâ and stuff like Demi and the million other mogai flags I canât even remember that everyone uses just to avoid being straight like⌠itâs ok you can be straight itâs fine
Not to hijack but I also think itâs a way to opt out of responsibility/privilege. Itâs also given people license to say really bigoted homophobic shit because they can hide behind their made up micro identity. Itâs shifted how we discuss LGBT issues, and I canât wait for this trend to be over
Youâre right and you should say it louder
The emos simply transferred over to the LGBT community. And that sucks.
The sheer headassery it takes to hold a sign that reads âIâd rather eat cakeâ as you march alongside people with signs like âstop killing usâ is frankly baffling
People will really try to call anyone who's ever done anything shitty "abusive" and I'm so fucking sick of it lmao
The pan concept of hearts before parts is literally so offensive
If youâre bisexual, you can value a person before their genetalia
If youâre gay, you can value a person before their genetalia
If youâre straight, you can value a person before their genetalia
Pan people are not inherently more pure or deep or woke because of their identity. Just because youâre not pan doesnât mean youâre automatically sex-obsessed or shallow.
And frankly, âhearts before partsâ is pretty sex-negative too. If someone isnât interested in romance but is in sex, thatâs none of your business and it doesnât give you some moral high ground. Stop shaming people with this ridiculous phrase.
I used to ID as pansexual and I actually used/liked the phrase âhearts before partsâ. I didnât have any bad intentions, I just never even realised how offensive it actually is. But Iâm glad I have now :/
I was the same. I didnât think too deep into the saying as I was 12 at the time, but now that I think about it it is pretty fucked. We grow.
itâs time to realize that lesbian is not synonymous with terfs. anyone can be a terf; ive seen bi and straight women who were terfs. itâs not something limited to lesbians and saying anyone with a lesbian flag in their icon is automatically a possible terf is lesbophobic!!!
people who arenât lesbians should rb this bc it shouldnât fall on lesbians to deal with this

The amount of privileged teenage cishets that choose a MOGAI personality gender/sexuality and then use that as a platform to speak over LGBT people actually struggling with gender/sexuality is staggering. I refuse to bow down to people who do NOT have LGBT interests in mind and only serve to make themselves feel special.
Pride month is NOT the time to shoehorn inclusion debates into a month designated for GAY, BI, and TRANS people. Go away.
do not ignore this
anywaysâŚ.cis people cannot expect trans people to bind and tuck to be âvalid.â tucking can cause your intestines to fall into your lower abdomin and get tangled up, and binding can cause your ribs to become concave and jut out of your chest. while binding and tucking can relieve dysphoria, trans people shouldnt be expected to risk our health and safety just to look cis
i was always told tucking was perfectly safe. no risk to my health, i used to tuck multiple days a week for 8hrs or more. and i stopped a few months ago because i start to hurt even when i wasnt tucking. now to know that there are actual medical consequences is nit only deeply saddening but also unsurprising
It's honestly just a lack of knowledge about this which is the issue. Cis people, for the most part, don't understand the risks that come with binding or tucking (I myself have just recently learned of complications that can come from tucking). If people understand these complications better and understand that it's very unhealthy to bind/tuck practically 24/7 then there wouldn't be so much of an issue. It's up to trans people who are willing to and educated cis people to explain and inform other cis people about this issue.
@mutuals stop and think before you reblog a post that has the word âlgbtia+â in it. advice from your friendly intersex mutual, archy: STOP dragging intersex ppl into the lgbt community. idc if you think aces/aros are lgbt just stop dragging other ppl into this. stop putting a fucking i in the acronym. intersex isnât a gender OR a sexuality- itâs a medical condition. we have time and time again asked for you guys to recognize this, time and time again asked for you guys to stay out of our issues, but you continue to misgender us and use us as props for your arguments. your âlgbtia+ positivityâ isnât nice, itâs hurtful, it literally makes me so dysphoric because iâm basically being told that my genitals and chromosomes somehow make me inherently nonbinary. iâm not lgbt because iâm intersex, iâm lgbt because iâm trans and gay. y'all arenât being âinclusiveâ or ârecognizing our issues,â most of the time y'all donât even know what intersex means and itâs obvious when you group it in with genders and sexualities. by dragging us into the lgbt community you are misgendering so many people and intersexist as fuck.
reminder to fellow exclusionists that thereâs no good reason to be indiscriminately mean to asexuals. sure, unpack the ignorant and sometimes harmful manifestations of inclusionist ideology, but lots of asexuals are also legitimate members of the LGBT community and acting like itâs an inherently bad identity isnât going to help anyone
just because cishet aces donât belong in LGBT safe spaces doesnât mean that no aces do
you also donât have to argue that aces experience no discrimination or oppression in order to argue that aces arenât inherently LGBT. discrimination/oppression are not the barriers to entry into the acronym. plenty of groups are marginalized (women, people of color, disabled people, fat people, poor people, and so on) but they arent LGBT unless they are LGBT.
exclusionism is the correct position, but be right about why youâre right
âwe canât use the lesbian flag for pride posts because terfs use it sometimes so its a terf flag now. anyways heres a pansexual flag edited over the words hearts not partsâ

So yeah @apparentlytransphobictransguy literally told me, a minor, to âget dickâ
i, a minor, am busy getting some dick and not making useless callouts on tumblr.com
Cool, keep making excuses for the fact that you literally told a minor to have sex
excuses vs. i myself have sex and donât see any issue with it
keep trying to spark outrage over nothing, and get some dick while youâre at it
Ok if you canât see why thereâs a problem with telling a minor to have sex, regardless of whether you are a minor or not, then Iâm just gonna block you
LMAO block me
sensitive ass
IâŚI canât believe what Iâm reading
They really did just walk into that one. 10/10 good response ATTG.
Iâm getting too old for this shit and Iâm only 17 what is this place
âFUCK CISHETSâ
âactually, YOU go fuck cishetsâ
âiM A MiNOr U CrEp HoW DaRE U???????â
âIâm a minor tooâ
âIM A MIIIIINOR!!!!!!!! GET BLOCKED!!!!â
âlolâ
God I really don't know how this person is going to survive highschool, and if they're already in highschool, idk how the fuck they've survived past the first week lmao
Biggest pet peeve is when an articale or post thatâs talking about âLGBTâ, and they talk about the L, the G, and the B, but donât mention the T.
Itâs fucking 2019
LGBT doesnât mean same gender attracted
Trans people are apart of the community and when talking about the topic of âLGBT peopleâ, whether it be about representation, pride, discrimination, unemployment, dating, medical practice, etc. Trans people, whether trans women, trans men, or non-binary people, need to be mentioned.
can I also add? when showrunners, movie directors, all these big honchos in media, talk big about how âweâre inclusive to LGBT storytellingâ but. they never even mention stuff about the T in LGBT. they never do. and itâs so disappointing. honestly just say gay instead if the T is just a lousy afterthought for y'all
Hey can I ask a serious question about this?
What about when only talking about same sex attraction and not necessarily gender? Because those are two different things and so they need different conversations for them. So like,,, whatâs the appropriate reaction/terminology for that? Should just LGB be used orâŚ? Idk it doesnât feel right to call all same sex attracted people gay because there are people who are attracted to more than one gender and therefore not gay.
Seriously Iâm not trying to be rude or trying to start discourse, Iâm just asking a genuine question because I want to know how best to handle things.
I would say sga (same gender attraction), gay (it can be used as an umbrella term depending on who youâre talking to), gay/bi, or LGB. Iâm fine with articles saying âgay peopleâ personally, but Iâm gay and not bi so that wouldnât really affect me anyways.
Iâm talking about articles that says for instance âhereâs a list of lgbt representationâ and then it doesnât mention trans people (like jucked said.) or âhere are the struggles of lgbtâ and then no mention of trans people. Thatâs annoying, thatâs misleading.
Id journalism or essays are about same gender attraction, and only that, that is ok. I would prefer not to be misled with âlgbtâ though.
Although keep in mind, for stuff like discussions titles âlgbt representationâ or âthe struggles of lgbtâ those should not be discussion just about sga people, trans people should be mentioned in those discussions. For instance a statement like âlack of representation hurt LGB peopleâ to exclude the T in that sense would not make sense, because lack of representation affects trans people and lgb people the same way.
