i know it's probably just online queer discourse but with how much the internet and the real world have become intertwined i'm worried about these people taking these ideas with them offline. years ago people would be 2 completely different people on and offline and now it seems like it's become more acceptable to mix the two.

it's also gone to show how little people really understand about GQs and enben and how willing they are to stuff us right back into boxes, but this time "wokely," which by the way the bastardization of the term "woke" is also immensely pissing me off. also the amount of people that see their identities as vip clubs that need to focus on excluding people instead of the community we're supposed to be.

i have a feeling the quick slope down back into conservative and right wing thinking has made people who cant think for themselves hop on this bandwagon. this is a queer issue altogether. i'm american so this is mostly centered on american issues, forgive me.

multiple states are practically unlivable for transgender people. tennessee passed a bill requiring medical providers to report the information of those who seek gender affirming care in May. multiple states are blocking people from changing their gender markers on any legal document. transgender people with a gender marker on their drivers license that doesnt' match the one on their birth certificate can be arrested for identity fraud. the federal government has rolled back amendments on birth certificates. some more petty things like proclaiming june "nuclear family month" with verbiage that implicitly excludes queer families from this month, only serving to undermine pride month because the government doesn't actually care about the families in the states they're supposed to represent. this is all just american stuff and other countries like the UK are also seeing a significant regression after years of apparent progression.

so basically what i'm getting at is there are all of these genuine queer related issues but people would rather be on the internet telling people with contradictory labels that they're not valid. i do not consider these people, people that insist we as queer individuals must pander to allocishet normative ideologies, that we must make ourselves palatable for the majority, part of the queer community.

this post doesn't really serve anything but for me to complain and i hope for people to feel a bit more encouraged to do something. i know so many queers in the us live in rural areas where queer activism is practically impossible and i'm not here to shame those who literally cant do anything. but if there's a pride organization in your town, or any humanitarian organization in general, now is a good time to get involved.

also, it might just be my region but i've noticed a lot of pride festivals have been moved to october, which is queer history month, because of the intensifying heat, so if you're planning on going to one you might want to check that your org didn't move it.
