#support everyone

Sometimes I remember that queer people and straight or cis ppl aren't like half and half. Like wdym it's not 50/50. And im occasionally reminded of people who like. Fake "support" or "respect" minorities and then say shit like "umm... I get that ya'll exist but you don't need to normalize this" Holy shit just say you don't want to know minorities exist. Just say you wanna be able to pretend everyone is just like you and ypu want to force us to hide ourselves and ve ashamed of who we are. This goes for everything too! Like in countries where a certain religion isn't common, we shouldn't shame people for being open about being apart of those religions. Just because it's not YOU doesn't mean it doesn't exist or deserve to exist. And being open about being something you aren't isn't shoving it down your throat. If anything, you're the one shoving it down your OWN throat.

And people who say they support a group of people and then go spreading stereotypes puss me off so bad.

Just because you had bad experiences with these people doesn't mean you should act like all of them are terrible.

Plus most of the stuff they complain about are just... obvious. Like duh im not gonna like someone if they're an asshole. It doesn't matter if they're not the same sexuality as you or don't follow you're religion.

People make it about something harmless! Like if someone shoots up a school, it's probably not because they're a minority. Its probably because they're either smth wrong with them or if it is related to them being in a minority its probably because OPPTESSORS PUSHED THEM TL SUCH A BREAKING POINT. And that doesn't justify killing and hurting people, obviously! But they DIDN'T kill and hurt people because being from another country or because they're trans or whatever. Anyone can be a bad person, it doesn't relate to harmless things about them.

Idk why some people can't understand that.

Sighhhhh im tired of hearing people talk shit about other people because of things that cause no harm to anyone...

I've never really been ashamed of myself or anyone else unless I've done or they've done something actually bad, but I've seen a rise in bigotry, and it makes me sad and kind of scared. It makes me feel like I SHOULD be ashamed. I try not to say that I don't want to be myself because that's a really negative mindset.

Yeah um. Im apart of like one oppressed or socially unacceptable group and I keep it kind of private so im not really feeling the effects that others are. But even if I wasn't any kind of queer I'd still be just as upset because there's so many people who aren't accepted for no good reason!!

I am so happy for the ace community and getting both of the main flags (ace and demiace) in more and more places. Y'all are wonderful and valid and deserve to get your representation 💙

With that being said, I wish arospec could get to that level as well. I see aro flags around, which is great and awesome, but I want to see demiaro flags around too. As a demiaro person, I struggle with feeling like im valid and often get told "oh well thats just normal to not feel love at first sight. Why do you need to claim your something?" And its just like...i know this isnt allo behavior. I know what I know about my identity and self and I want more representation for people like me.

It's okay to cry. It's okay to be sad when everyone around you seems happy. There is already abundance of melancholy on your shoulders and if in any way you can help to lessen that weight, please do it. That is to say-stop feeling sad for feeling sad.

My parents are always complaining on how sulky and sullen I am whenever there's a happy occasion (even though they fail terribly to see that it's constant-for the sake of no better term-and not a one time tantrum), but here's the thing, I would very much oblige to stay happy if only it was possible. After all, who loves living a shattered life?

What I mean to convey here is, let the damaged be damaged when there's nothing you can do to help them. Stop with the "why are you always sad" or "why can't you try to be happy for our sakes". Stop throwing that at their faces as if being sad is second nature to them by choice or as if it's their fucking fault to be in this situation in the first place!!
