#inclusionist

“Why can’t [X Identity] have anything to themselves?” is a radfem dogwhistle I’m not joking. The queer community is not a collection of neat little boxes cordoned away from each other with big thick lines and fences, it’s a community. The lines between identities are inherently blurry and vague, our culture has always been for all of us, not just some specific identity. Queerness is messy and contradictory and beautiful.

Getting a mean comment on one of my posts from someone with a username straight out of the hatewave era and calling me an “acey”…bitch 2017 called it wants its exclusionism back.

The emphasis on groupthink, self policing, and label prescription in this community is getting kind of scary. It’s a lot of Gen Z people too.

It will also never cease to fascinate me that back during discourse days gatekeepers kept mocking aspecs for being prudes who can’t stand Real Sexual Gay People and “some of them want LGBT cafes & bookstores, how homophobic is that”. And then barely five seconds after the aspec community was fucking beaten into the ground those bigots just turned around and went “kink doesn’t belong at Pride! sex is gross!” with no shred of irony.

if you ever tell a trans person to "just call themselves straight" ever again i'm fucking killing you.

If you’re saying “[XYZ Group] shouldn’t be allowed at Pride” and XYZ group is something other than “cops” or “bigots” then I think YOU shouldn’t be allowed at Pride actually.
