#queerphobia

the queer community needs to fight ableism and love disabled people. queer or not. also quick question. why do you think the right paints us as insane predators.

like keep in mind that homosexuality was in the DSM until pressure was put on the APA by gay rights activists, and they “removed” it in 1973 and replaced it with many different diagnostic labels over the years to describe “this person is gay and distressed over it so we’re treating the distress with conversion therapy. blease don’t think we’re homophobic.” it wasn’t until 2013 that distress over one’s own sexual orientation was removed entirely from the DSM. do what you will with this information and begin to wonder what psychiatry’s actual motives are for continuing to pathologize queerness and gender nonconformity.

edit: to people saying there's nuance to this, you're correct, but please make your own post. this is about listening to minorities, not questioning their biases.

With the gradual loss of our rights as trans people around the world, I keep thinking about this story I read two years ago on Reddit. It could have been me or several of my friends. When will this stop? When will we finally be able to imagine a future where we can exist in peace? When will people stop finding it justified when we are attacked? When will people start addressing the real problems in the world?

trend that pisses me off

y'all don't actually give a fuck about trans men you just want to control people in a way that sounds progressive

Overemphasizing someone as cis (even if they tell you otherwise) as a way to undermine their voice as an intersex person is erasure. Barring us from queerness is erasure of our struggles. How can you call yourself someone who is a supoorter of the LGBT when you only care about yourself? Your voice matters as much as that of a white feminist's.
